Compared to wet film installation, the official SG application was pretty straightforward and easy for me on two of the S22 ultra phones last year. Haven't given it a try on the S23 ultras this year as the neoflex one is going solid! I do have 2 packs of the official SG for future use though.
Yesterday I installed the official samsung screen protector on my wife's S23U. It all went swiftly as expected. Here is the result

exchange of s22 ultra with watch and buds for 115000 and paid difference value of 63k in total

I could have sold s22 ultra myself on Olx and got around 60k instead of 52k but didn't want to go through pain of dealing with people..

What do you folks think about the overall deal? Is it decent when compared to purchasing from Samsung shop (expecially when they stopped offering watch and buds for 5k now)?

Damn. That trade-in value for S22U really sucks. For an incremental upgrade like S23U apart from the battery, I would rather spend that 63k and buy another S22U and fill both my pockets with 2 oversized phones. 😂

All smartphone upgrades are incremental nowadays! S22U to S23U upgrade is nothing groundbreaking, especially in the eyes of average consumer. However, it is more substantial than S20U to S21U and S21U to S22U upgrades (considering camera, battery backup and overall performance) IMO. Afterall, it is not usual to see an Android smartphone almost beating or equalizing latest Apple smartphone in speed and battery backup!

Google Pixel 6a
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra
That's base price on corporate portal
8k bank discount + 10k upgrade bonus on exchange + ADLD insurane worth 7999 extra
I wish I waited a bit long for the current corp. offer. 😀

The watch 4 classic and buds 2 combo I do not need at all and reselling them is a pain @ time and effort required and even if it's done the end value equates to the special corp. price of S23U inclusive of the bonus & discount.

same here :(
this is lesson learnt for sure
Samsung changed strategy & removed buds/watch & allowed exchange-bank offer together made is so lucrative
Next time for sure gonna wait & ignore pre-book offers
Indeed Cafe guys who gave insurance FOC faced trouble doing it for pre-reserve (5k voucher) guys as they could not extend both offers together.

    Welcome back. Any idea why the iPhone resale has dropped? I heard more people than ever are buying them in India...?
    People in India are obsessed by iPhones because of the "Luxury" it offers and so there are lots of UAE phones here which either came through smuggling or from asking a friend to bring. It costs 1.14 for 14 Pro Max 256gb and that is from Apple Store. But prices in Amazon and other shops are even less because there same phones are available even from USA at 94k. All these phones have flooded the market and all of them have international warranty that people keep buying them up. As a customer I will only think about warranty and not the area from where the phone came from and so people take loans and whatever to buy these contraband. When they can't repay or don't like the phone, they sell it off flooding the second hand market. Right now these are the prices of new phones in my city
    iPhone 14 Pro 256gb 1.08
    iPhone 14 Pro Max 256gb 1.15
    Used phone buying prices (3 months old, imported devices)
    iPhone 14 Pro 256gb 80k to 85k
    iPhone 14 Pro Max 256gb 95k to 99k
    Used phone buying prices (3 months old, Indian devices)
    iPhone 14 Pro 256gb 85k to 95k
    iPhone 14 Pro Max 256gb 100k to 105k
    They'll add 5k to 10k margin and sell these off!
    This is only applicable for the 14 Pro lineup and I know for a fact when 15 Pro launches, situation will be even worse!

    Best battery in recent Samsung flagships. Power saver turned on just 10 mins back for night routine.
    Totally satisfied with battery performance this year.

    Quick impressions on the phone -

    Samsung is using the same Ultrasonic Fingerprint Sensor from S21 and S22, that is the only bummer, everything else is a good upgrade. The screen looks more clear from up close compared to S22 Ultra. And 50 MP shots are fantastic. The bump in resolution is quite apparent. It takes a few seconds to save 50 MP files though. I just played with the phone for some time at a local retailer in Bangalore. They let me install the device info HW app (quick shared the apk from my phone) through which i checked the Fingerprint sensor. It is essentially the same one (QBT2608)
