General [INDIA] Galaxy S23 Ultra pre-order, offers etc. discussion thread.

Handheld experience is always superior to theory. I will discuss with you regarding the cases further only after you get to use them first, not before that.
And yet here you are discussing now.
It's simple technical facts. Again, if you want more camera lip protection, you will need to accept more rocking or a thicker overall case. With cases that have extra camera lip protection, when placing the phone on its back on a hard flat surface, the rocking can almost always be reproduced by pressing firm enough in the top left hand region/corner.
EDIT: a quick search on Amazon regarding one of the cases you quote that "do not make the phone rock at all":
I remember I did quite a lot of research regarding this for the S21 Ultra, and perhaps one of the only ways to avoid the above is by doing this or similar (I actually got this case for the S21 Ultra, but unfortunately found it too slippery):
But even with this, technically the case is thicker (and heavier) in at least some parts!

Using Spigen Liquid Air, Ringke Fusion, ESR kickstand
all protect well
Official clear case or strap one doesn't give desired protection
looking for not attached lens protector which need not be sticked, are there any?
Another issue I noticed with the Liquid Air case is that it often attracts little white dust particles. Do you notice that too? I think it's the little creases that somehow attracts/traps them.
The official clear case is so hard to remove that I feel it might end up peeling paint off someday at the botton someday if not careful enough..!

I bought a leather case using Samsung shop. The case has heavy scratch marks on the body as well as on top right out of the box(probably previously used by someone in other countries and was returned, Samsung India Imported it, it cannot be a manufacturing defect looking at the abysmal marks).
Initiated a return providing pictures of it, invoice, Samsung box displaying serial no of it the very next day.
Samsung is rejecting return saying they must get the photo of the plastic polybag as well
. Never in any of my ecommerce purchases irrespective of any site I ever kept the outer polybag bcoz it was never ever required for any return and I discard it immediately. The Samsung shop polybag was dirty as well (with birdsh*t or whatever) so discarded it immediately too. A few emails to cc, service head etc. have been useless so far.

Samsung customer service has always been poor in our country. The samsung shop online customer service is more or less a scam! Service head will definitely provide resolution but it will take time and multiple emails.I bought a leather case using Samsung shop.

2nd that.
That I'm not so sure of. The ethics have changed for the worse over the last few years even from service head's side. The ones handling the emails from SH got habituated with simply passing the ball to CC side and the issue technically remains with the headache called customer care.
Sending emails to some heads, playing with twitter handle, emailing CEO might be helpful but don't have the energy for a simple phone case return..
Installed TP Link Archer AX10 & enabled Wifi 6 & connected.
All the Wifi issues has been resolved. Connecting & working flawlessly for now. Only issue is it disconnects on its own when idle for 15 minutes or so - maybe it's a battery saving feature, don't know. Overall good performance by AX10 - even on 2.4 GHz easily getting 120 Mbps upload & download.

Which colour had you ordered? I have ordered the green one. Hope i don't end up with the same issue.
Camel.
Doesn't matter which color, if Samsung ships a used one or such the rest will be a pain.
Thanks for the heads up about your ordeal. I will retain all packaging and probably take a selfie with the delivery boy as well for proof!

The so called service head handle also rejected the return finally without even reading(evident from their bot-style & out of context responses) the elaborated emails from my end for the simple reason that I didn't keep the dirty polybag they used for shipping even though all other matching proof I provided that clearly states every detail required for a return.
Wonder how low & pathetic a company can be @ their after sales support!

Imagine buying 23U from the S. portal/app and getting a unit with manufacturing issues or such(in case) and then trying for a return request! Offline-wise it's possible for a DOA claim with a week long struggle in the service center but online I don't even want to imagine.
Update:
@Dpk1 @praveen6585
Managed to get a Samsung zonal head's Samsung email id as well as CEO's Samsung email id from an "inside source", copy pasted the email content(along with the pics) that I sent to Samsung CC/service head earlier and sent to zonal head keeping CEO's id in CC. I did not forget to attach the junk email responses received from CC and service head's handle in the last few days.
To my suprise(kind of) within hours not only I got a positive response from that zonal head's side on call from a person acting as PA who was interested in knowing "what happened" with the received product, but also assured me of a quick return of the product and "fast processing" of refund once picked up. And then in few hours the status changed from "Return rejected" to "return pickup confirmed".
I hope no other issue the backend team brings up for a refund once product is picked up.

@Virgo_Guy Received my case today and luckily it is in perfect condition. Loving the fit and feel of the leather case. Especially when swiping from the sides.
While the above Samsung case retails at ₹2199,
this Spigen liquid crystal case currently sold at ₹974 in Amazon.in is actually superior/way better based on my own experience.

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!1
Mutiple eSIM networks can be saved in the same eSIM space, one cannot use the eSIM if phone is lost+ good for network providers/concerned authorities for tracking, SIM swapping is most likely a tiny bit harder for scammers as compared the physical ones, precious space is saved by phone makers etc.. - if we think about benefits.!
Network related improvement? Not that I'm aware of.1
Yeah.. That is why i'm waiting for the Tab S9 series to launch instead of going for the Tab S8 series. The difference between s22 ultra and s23 ultra is day and night and the only main difference is the chipset. -

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)
