      That and they're probably trying to move stock before Google and Apple announce their latest devices.

      Why did you go for the S23+ over the S23? Is the S23+ too heavy to put in your pants front pockets?

        Both of you are crazy. I got 1.3k for the s22u. More cheaper if im actually post out my trade in phone. I would not spending more than 1k for either the base s23 or s23 plus. 1.3k for the ultra is my limit and that include the iphones. More than that it just blowing money for a phone that no one else will care about.

        128gb is waste of money I suppose, Samsung has a bunch of bloatware preinstalled.

        • asa79 on 07/09/2023 - 06:53

          Depends on your use case, better then most 32g phones

                @mg_k: Some people flash stock Android ROMs on their brand new phones to try get some privacy back with it, but this topic is going off the rails lol.

                Ultimately, I like having the Micro SD card slot and it was also amazing being able to replace the battery easily myself. The stuff happening over in the EU with user serviceable phone batteries is awesome!

                Next up, I just wish some Android phone gets released with a LIDAR camera similar to the last few iPhones and iPads!

            • Typical16-bitEnjoyer on 07/09/2023 - 10:15

              @Spacexyz: You think installing stuff on a SD card gives more privacy than the cloud?? Oh my sweet summer child.

            • Ibz on 07/09/2023 - 13:07

              @Spacexyz: You're right, there is an inherent risk to cloud. So maybe consider settings up freenas or synology and then you'll have your own cloud with actual data redundancy unlike an sd card. It will also double up as a place to save sec camera footage, photo backups, be a movie server, etc.

        owned iphone 4s, xiaomi 6, huawei p30 pro, oppo x5, samsung s7, s21+, s23+. couldnt afford any iphone as the price is way too overprice (of course this will make the second hand value up no doubt). occasionally you can get 10% off rrp for iphone. xiaomi and huawei have no second hand value, very minimum updates and no official store for support or warranty. so far samsung os is the best for my personal experience compare to xiaomi, huawei and oppo. other reasons to own samsung are higher second hand value than xiaomi, huawei and oppo and with this type of deal probably 40% off rrp.

    • kehuehue on 07/09/2023 - 08:17

      Depends if you are close to metro or not. I usually get stuff 2-3 days of ordering from Samsung. But their notification does say 7-10 days

    Thanks. So what phone you need to trade to get maximum value? Or you trade any phone and you get $1 only?

    • itsmoe on 07/09/2023 - 10:18

      Any phone of any value as long as it's an eligible phone. But you do have to send it in. So make sure it's a really old phone that you don't really need.

      • redfox1200 on 07/09/2023 - 16:39

        No you don't have to send it

        • itsmoe on 08/09/2023 - 09:30

          Oh really? Regardless of the value?

          • redfox1200 on 08/09/2023 - 17:57

            @itsmoe: They will charge you the value back to your credit card, that's why it said in the post to say you had a cracked screen etc.

            The point of the trade in was just to get the 250/300 credit.

    • Droz on 07/09/2023 - 11:32

      I've been looking for reports of people being burned by this in the past, where the headphones aren't the ones that Samsung intended for the tradein… I mean, I have heaps of crappy headphones lying around…

      Do they ever reverse the $300 trade-in bonus?

      • Quarter Pounder on 07/09/2023 - 12:05
        +2

        I personally traded them in store, and they accepted them. Got the trade in bonus too. They just have to be bluetooth as the store didnt accept the wired headphones to trade in, hence getting cheap $10 BlueTooth headphones from the reject shop.

        • Maychance on 07/09/2023 - 12:37

          Wild. Did you take them out of the packaging so it wasn't so obvious you had bought them to play their system?

          And did you go through the whole trade-in process in store? Or go through the in-app process described in the original post and then opt to drop the headphones in in person?

          • Quarter Pounder on 07/09/2023 - 12:52

            @Maychance: Nope, didn't take it out of the package and they still accepted. They directed us to use the app to get the trade in id and select the in store option.

            • vawiyoci on 08/09/2023 - 10:14

                  @Quarter Pounder: Hmm wonder if that means they'll also accept some random chifi bluetooth ones lol and save me from having to buy a pair from Reject Shop. Gonna give it a try and see how it goes.

                  • Quarter Pounder on 08/09/2023 - 14:27

                    @vawiyoci: They should, if you want to minimise risk of them denying the trade in, go in store.

    Is it just me or are phones not really getting any better? Toyed with trading in my S21+ but there's just no point. Maybe it's because I'm not playing graphics intensive games?

        On what use case if they've said "I'm not playing graphics intensive games"? My wife has an S21+ as well and also doesn't game on phones so it's working for her 100% with no performance issues. I've been thinking about upgrading her phone but thought the cost just isn't worth it given how basic use case is (YouTube, WhatsApp, emails, messages and some web browsing).

    • qvinto on 07/09/2023 - 07:50

      True ive had the S22 ultra and s23 ultra and they are basically identical. Can't really tell any difference in performance, battery life or image quality

      • Cinnamon Crunch on 07/09/2023 - 09:52

          +2

          Yeah I read about this but I honestly see no difference. I paid special attention to this and it was quite disappointing. Maybe if you play games or do something intensive it is noticeable but from casual use I found no difference

          • Cinnamon Crunch on 07/09/2023 - 11:22

            @qvinto: I youtube 8 hours most days and music a few hours outside of that as well as some occasional gaming. 20-60mins a day. I can go to sleep without worrying about charging and my alarms for the next day
            My s22 would be cutting it very close/die

      • ironworthy on 07/09/2023 - 09:56

        i thought one of the big selling points was the improved battery life on s23u. people were claiming double that of s22u

        • qvinto on 07/09/2023 - 14:00

          Yeah double is definitely not true if you are a casual user. Maybe 10-20%?. Perhaphs if you use CPU/GPU intensively it makes more difference but for regular browsing, email, surfing, youtube and photos i see essentially no difference.

      I've been thinking about replacing my P30 pro countless times which is around 3 years old. Huawei updates stopped a while ago. Everything else is still Great Inc battery life. I've looked at pixel 7, Samsung's, Zenphone 9, moto fusion all seem to be a sideways upgrade and are missing something the P30 pro is better at whether it be wireless and quick charging, telephoto lens, great battery life. I'd be Interested to hear what P30 pro users have upgraded to and are they happy with their choices.

      • dtingy on 07/09/2023 - 08:37
        +5

        i owned a p30 pro then s21+ then s23+. definitely p30 pro camera wins all the way with + model, not sure about ultra. overall, i prefer samsung os than huawei os. as i dont use camera a lot, so s21+ or s23+ is a winner for me. in term of battery life, both p30 pro and s21+/s23+ almost the same. after 1 year of usage, the battery life will deplete as usual. i use xiaomi wireless charger with 20w, there is no difference in term of charging speed for p30 pro or s21+/s23+. pretty sure up to 15w charging. as p30 pro has stopped the updates long time ago (i think soon after usa banned the huawei), there is no change in term of security and os interface. no regret for me going to samsung. also i dont see any difference in term of snapdragon (s23+) vs enosy (s21+) processor. hope this helps from my personal experience.

        I went from the P30 Pro to an S21 Ultra after getting on one of the old trade-in deals.

        To be honest, I don't feel like much changed. The P30 Pro was a great phone aside from a couple of quirks (e.g. being overly aggressive in killing background apps) and despite being a 4 1/2 year old phone probably still holds up well to the phones of today. The S21 Ultra cameras are nice but I'm not necessarily any more impressed with it than I am with the P30 Pro generally except for the zoom features - that's where the S21 Ultra cameras take a step up.

    • Ronnnie on 07/09/2023 - 10:24

      If you play mobile games, but those are most pay to win. Probably once every 4 years is more than adequate. I noticed even YouTube tech reviewers that deal with latest devices all the time often are keeping their devices for four years. I went from a note 9 to iPhone 14 max pro. You get a noticeable improvement from the camera and screen over that time but nothing massive really. You would see more improvements jumping one generation a decade ago. I buy now with the perspective of keeping the device as long as possible. I figured the pixel series and the A series are probably offering some of the best bang for your buck. Samsung flagships after a year become more palatable from a cost perspective. And since Samsung actually support these models for 5 years, I guess that could offer great value too like with this deal. The exynos snapdragon thing, personally since after the snapdragon 835 era, chips have been good enough for my use no matter what. Most applications would run fast on a potato it seems, most phones seem to get at least 4 hours screen time with a day use. If you care for your battery by avoiding heat for example disabling fast charging features, the battery could still be 90%+ after 4 years ime.

    • johndoh89 on 07/09/2023 - 17:49

      I went from a Note 20 Ultra to the s23U.
