Totally agree the likes of MKBHD etc will have the phones in their hands as I only noticed this when Apple had their last event and they already bought out their videos during the event. Hence why they remain quiet with the run up to these revelation event. Let’s hope all pre orders run smoothly
This isn't true. MKBHD is unbias and has no problem scolding Apple, Samsung and Google when they deserve it. You are correct about him having the phone a week or 2 before the reveal but that's just a form of promotion, even small tech channels can get their hands on phones before they are revealed but they all have to abide by the embargo.
Can you preorder a new s23 Ultra & pick it up in store? I work 6 days a week so more than likely won’t be home to sign for the new phone when it arrives. Also, if you preorder one, how do you get insurance on it? I’ve never preordered one so these may seem like stupid questions.
The battery life should be slightly better with the new chip. But also the “lite mode” should offer quite a bit of battery savings as well. It will for sure be better. How much better likely depends on your needs and how how hard you run your phone.
Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely use them. Here in Australia, by registering for the Unpacked event, I get a 2-year Samsung Care+ bonus. How is the battery life now on your S22+?
You're welcome. Glad but was helpful. The battery life is ok on the S22+. I wish it was 5,000mAh. Battery life with the S23+ should improve with the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2
Fun fact: in Spain is the exact opposite: Apple gives you the discount of the trade in up front, and only charges the difference if you don’t send the phone in the next two weeks, while Samsung charges full price and at a later date, after they’ve received the trade in device, sends you the money…
I don’t know that good is the right word here. It all depends on your needs and what you want. Both will be excellent. If you’re not happy with the Fold though then go for it.
That's what I do. Just download the app, your good to go! I've never had trouble ordering from the Shop Samsung app, as far as bugs go. Even when all the trouble happened with the S22 Ultra I got my Sky Blue S22 Ultra in no time at all! Of course I've been ordering from them Since The Note8 & Tab S4 Days & I have an account with Samsung Credits TD Bank, Hope this year isn't the exception!
I'm on a government account through Verizon. Samsung won't accept tradeins from such accounts. But I can get a new S22 Ultra as an upgrade from Verizon for $799 (tax exempt) without any trade in. I'm hoping that Verizon will price the S23 Ultra the same. What do you think, Adam?
Unsure. I'm not familiar with how that works when it comes to upgrades versus actual trade in. But usually when the new phones come out they have good deals.
Definitely recommend all your tips especially making sure you have your logins setup along with your payment options. Additionally recommend if you have any other savings like the educational or work discounts. Finally, recommend the Cashback sites as they typically jump to 10% or higher on launch weeks for Samsung. It's not an immediate payout but have always come through.
also adam i have a galaxy s21+ i herd you say you get additional credits when you do the pre order. how much for the s23 ultra. thats the one i am looking at. was a note fan for years. however i have not been able to afford it through my carrier{ verizon now tmobile} i am hoping to be able to get it with no problem. my phone has been in a case since day 1 not a scratch on it.
This is why ur my #1 Guy on RUclips can't Thanks You enough for taking the time to do this for us. God Bless let us hope 🙏🤞 these trade-in go well for all this year.
The shop samsung app on ios devices doesn't let you look at the phones lol. It lets you look at every other Samsung product but no mobile devices. I thought that was weird when I was trying to pre-order from my iPad last year.
One of the most annoying parts of Samsung sales and trade-in is taxes. They deduct the trade-in value from the price, but they calculate the tax off of the full price. Regardless how much you save you pay a lot for tax. Last year, I paid $140 just for sales tax and other BS fees while the value of my cart was less than $700.
Here in the Philippines, samsung based the tax from the net price (price minus trade-in). No additional miscellaneous fees whatsoever. Maybe it depends on your country?
Thanks for the tips in this video!! 🙂👍 I am pretty excited about the S23 series, I currently have the S21 base model and want to upgrade to the S23 Ultra!! Keep up the great job!! Always enjoy your videos!!
I am wanting to trade in my s22 ultra ATT to a s23 ultra ATT. If I do the payment plan they will only charge me $199.00 If I do a one time payment they want to charge me $836.00. What gives, I do not want a payment plan for 36 months.
Some very helpful tips, thank you. Even though I am in the uk, most things you mentioned are the same or similar. Think I will wait a few weeks though when the reviews start coming in having used the device & compared to other phones. This is still within the limited promotional period to get a free be, buds, etc. Thanks again, excellent advice. Sam :)
I am forced to get S23 because it's the only android phone that is compact and compatible with Verizon. The Pixel 6a is what I currently use but it is too big even though the screen size is the same
not that easy sometimes people send them back with nothing wrong with it. and they tell you it was broken. make sure you video it when you wrap it up and put it in the box. also what if you order it and have it sent to a bestbuy or to a samsung store can i just trade my in at the store
Disappointed with Samsung credit. Should have been $200 like last year. I would happily trade my phone. But, I planned to get something else for free, now I can't (: their tablet keyboard

@@Young_Dab I know that MKBHD is unbiased as I subscribe to his RUclips Channel😀
Can you walk us through the trade in process if we finance thru the carrier?
Can you preorder a new s23 Ultra & pick it up in store? I work 6 days a week so more than likely won’t be home to sign for the new phone when it arrives. Also, if you preorder one, how do you get insurance on it? I’ve never preordered one so these may seem like stupid questions.
Wrong video to ask on this but would the s23 base model be worth getting, given last years model the battery was garbage?
The battery life should be slightly better with the new chip. But also the “lite mode” should offer quite a bit of battery savings as well. It will for sure be better. How much better likely depends on your needs and how how hard you run your phone.
Thanks! I’m not a heavy phone user and don’t play heavy games. Heard so many bad reviews about the s22 it put me off going forward

MAKE SURE to take video and pictures of your phone in the package.

Wow. That's cool. Definitely not how it works here in the USA.
I have a question? Would trading a fold 4 in for the s23 ultra a good trade.

Good point on then discounts. Thanks for adding that.
Can I trade in a broken fold 3 😢??
What would be the exclusive colors?for the s23 base
Don't know. My guess is a red and blue color though.
I have s22 base
What will be trade in cost if I move to s23 base

That really depends on your country and us state

Any idea if you can trade in 2 phones for extra credit?
Maybe. Won’t know until it launches.
Historically, no. At least I havent seen it. I had an S9 and S9+
im going to upgrade my exynos s22u to the s23u if the total is under 500€ after trading in my s22u

Your link to reserve the new 2023 is not working!!!
That’s weird. It’s working for me. shop-links.co/ciToRf9MWyA
I am forced to get S23 because it's the only android phone that is compact and compatible with Verizon. The Pixel 6a is what I currently use but it is too big even though the screen size is the same
So I've watched this video twice already? Are they asking me to send in my phone before I have the new one in hand?
not that easy sometimes people send them back with nothing wrong with it. and they tell you it was broken. make sure you video it when you wrap it up and put it in the box. also what if you order it and have it sent to a bestbuy or to a samsung store can i just trade my in at the store
really considering switching from iPhone 12 Pro to the S23 Ultra… what y’all think? Lol
Yes
Definitely
I’m in the same boat, but considering a smaller model, probably the base S23. Hoping the battery life is good…
@@ramonhury2 yeah I recommend anyone with an iphone to jump to Samsung for multiple reasons
Boom, just reserved for the 50 bucks!
Nice! #winning
@@TechOdyssey I wonder if they will allow multiple devices to be traded in?
Imagine the s23+ same fail as 22+. Lowest ppi possible on a 1080p display
I'm waiting for it. I can see the let down coming miles away
You still using s22 ultra as your daily driver?
Presently no. Right now I have my sim cards in my Fold 4, a OnePlus phone, and the Huawei Mate 50 Pro.
Pre-order is here and enjoy your 50 bucks off coz I'm getting a 25 Watt charger!😁
😊👍
