One of my friend reserved it for 2K in Jan with commitment to get 2K +5K adjusted in phone price.
Later on Launch he paid 10K to get 25W charger and 15W Wireless charging pad as free. 10K to be adjusted against phone price.

what will be the corporate program pricing ? is it worth it to wait till S23U is available in corporate offer? I have already prebooked. Just curious what will be the pricing difference between launch price and Corporate price ?

You can get corporate offer from Smart cafe as well
No, you can't get the special discounted corporate price(meant for samsung online only, once the product gets retail-released offline) from any retailers including Samsung exclusive stores/Smart Cafés. But yeah, you can get the insurance free using the corporate id while purchsing in the designated samsung stores.

For ADLD you can buy not price. But if you have contacts they can give dealer level discount. I pre booked s23u and he is giving me 4000 discount and smart club points also

I got ADLD free when I purchased S22U from Samsung cafe offline. I will try offline stores once phone is available, during pre-order they behave as if there is huge demand for phone and they are not getting stocks. :p

Technically, samsung exclusive stores/smart cafes can give the biggest discount but they don't(some T&C) . I did get a few times in the past but it's very rare. EOD, the small multibrand retailers end up providing acceptable discounts(without letting the brand, i.e. Samsung know) for brand acceptance measured on sales numbers.

The best amongst the rest - has been like this all these years + free ADLD insurance.

Shouldn't be any different this year too.
Thanks for the info. Could you give a approx price in corporate offer. The mrp is 125k. Will there be a 10k or more discount in mrp pricing as corporate offer?

Are you guys facing below mentioned issue?

Tried purchasing an accessory using corp. account. At the time of placing the order(after putting upi id/entering otp on COD etc.) it says "EPP redemption failed for this order". Happening for every accessory. Never faced it before.
I purchased a few accessories less than a week back as well using the same corp. account and it worked fine then too.

I read somewhere that the corporate offer is applicable upto 3 purchases or so per year.

    But yes, you can use other cases if you want more raised lips, but you'll have to accept a potentially rocking phone, or a thicker overall case.
    Spigen thin fit, spigen Liquid air, Ringke Fusion bumper that I am using - the raised lips are minimal yet trustwhorthy and do not make the phone rock at all.

    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?

    Galaxy S23 Ultra Offers- Exchange benefit* worth Rs 10,000 + Addnl. Cashback up to Rs 8000 1kx.in/ybypPZ #SamsungCorporate+
    @Virgo_Guy @sasha8200

    They reduced exchange value to 42k now but offering 10k extra (52k) + 8k bank discount can be clubbed!
    Still lesser than offline which at base offering 55k for exchange + 8k bonus
    And no watch or buds!!
    Are you by chance a distant relative of nirmala sitharaman? This much quantum mathematics is going way over me. I would just buy at the label mrp price 😬

    Update: Got the watch yesterday itself but forgot to unbox it. The classic watch has a more subtle classical look. Pair it with a good leather strap (the official one is always out of stock, though) and it'll look super sick.

    Regarding the watch, it's the same that you get for 12k rupees, with just the added rotating bezel and the stainless steel build. Nevertheless, the practicality of the bezel and the heft of the steel build is greatly appreciated. LTE setup was a breeze with my Jio Prepaid plan and I'm yet to test it. I'll continue using both my Classic and Non-Classic watches for formal/semi-formal and casual/active occasions respectively. Here is a picture of both of them side by side:

    Sound through speakers on S23 ultra is noticeably better than S22 ultra! Watched an entire movie last night on the S23 ultra and really enjoyed the sound. So, overall improved cameras, battery backup and sound are 3 major noticeable upgrades that S23 ultra has over the outgoing model. Also, mine and wife's S22 ultra units have been passed on to family, so everyone is happy!

    Bought the Green, 512 gigs.
    Paid 64k inclusive of insurance (+WatchBuds) for it in exchange for S22U256.

    Something unusual (rather strange) is happening @ prebooking strategy and stuff, hence could not get an idea on what's coming up next corporate way. So, pulled the trigger.

    Green is overrated - just my opinion.

    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)
