Don't get the flip, fancy phone, horrible battery life. Fanciness wears off, but day to day battery usage is what matters at the end. Need to charge at least 3 times a day with regular usage

I wish I hadn't bought into the iPhone hype. Lesson learnt. Now I have to wait a year and switch back. Apart from the battery if anyone is considering switching I would recommend you use one for a week.

Quote from november23 :
It's just another clickbait article. The carriers force customers to keep a minimum $80 plan for more than 6 months to get that discounted phone price. SK mobile carriers' ARPU is about $30. So basically, the carriers get all the subsidies back from selling the expensive plan.
I would respectfully disagree, as the article talks about issues with the subsidies, and the phone itself:
Quote :
"When subsidies go up simultaneously at all three telcos, it's typically the manufacturer making up the contributions," said an official at carrier LG Uplus Corp (032640.KS), declining to be identified due to the sensitivity of the matter.
...
GOS automatically limits handset performance during gaming but also during use of other processor-intensive applications, said Geekbench, a widely used performance scorer, which found the software slowed the S22's processor by as much as 46%.
Which in effect is similar to "Volkswagen emissions scandal", unless I am missing something. So, if this has an effect to the future price of the phone, then this deal is just trying to be "proactive" and clean inventory, before this happens, but maybe I am reading too much into it.

Just FYI or PSA if you will, if it wasn't said already: Mobile carriers halve the price of the Galaxy S22 in South Korea after throttling issues surface: https://www.techspot.com/news/941...korea.html [techspot.com]
Is heat dissipation an issue with just the base model or all flavors (base, plus & ultra)?

Agreed.

And if the EU gets involved the story could enter MSM channels and the negative publicity could be brutal.

GOS was a real issue with the S22 series. And it's still a PR nightmare for Samsung with the class action suits and all. The problem with this article is that it didn't include all the information from the original Korean article when translated, written as if the customers could get the discounts outright. The subsidies are pretty common in Korea, and the amount changes every day. However, customers can never get the advertised price without an expensive plan when there's a higher than usual subsidy. So far, the sales are not much affected, and the S22 series are selling much faster than the S21 series. I do not doubt that we'll see many Samsung deals every month, but I wouldn't expect some kind of fire sale for the S22 series.

Ordered white one for my group, have some credits that will help pay off the monthly fees. Will most likely resell this phone and keep the S21 I got for 300 from previous deal judging by looking at that throttle fiasco. I also think us new S22 owners may get the recall or class action from this to make the discount even better lol!

Article says:

"However, the S22 Ultra has a new vapor chamber, indicating that Samsung was aware that the S22's cooling wasn't ideal"

The "throttle fiasco" goes back several years including the S21, S20, etc. It just never gained traction until this year. You will also be included in the class action lawsuit if one is filed in the US. Your S21 throttles too unless it detects you're trying to run a benchmark, in which case it un-throttles.

I ordered 2 last night. One white and one black and got shipping notification on both today.
Was this 2 completely separate orders or initial 1st order followed immediately with family addon inside same order?

Dang! I have the S20, S21, and S22. I wouldn't have bought the S22 if I knew about the throttling. Not cool, Samsung!
