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.

    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 😬

    Folks who got their 23 ultra could you confirm that apps like twitter and reddit and Facebook(specially on browser not the app) does not stutter while scrolling?
    No stutters here at all. I do not use FB, but tried on Samsung Internet and works flawlessly

    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.
    Since you have ADLD with Buds+watch and such an unbelievable price (after S22 ultra exchange), I think you made a smart decision.

    Broadly speaking, you got 76k resale value for your 256 S22 ultra which is approximately 22k more than what Samsung shop would have offered! Hard to beat that offer by corporate discounts they would throw in future!

    Even my regular smartcafe dealer was offering 58k (maximum 60k) exchange value for my S22 ultra 512 gb! So, obviously didn't exchange it and rather paid in full for the S23 ultra 1 TB and gave the s22 ultra units to family.

    Finally I got the green colour as well yesterday. Not sure what are they upto, the buds + watch offer is removed from Samsung site.
    Paid 45K with free membrane and cover + S22U in exchange, just asked buds 2 to be included.

    PS - The green color looks way different in different lightning conditions, it is nowhere like last year.

    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)
