Any spec differences in the unlocked vs Verizon model?

It looks like the unlocked model you don't have to get stuck in bill credits correct?

My note 20 battery is shot. Wouldn't mind the upgrade for $100-200 if only to have a new battery.

This feels like a repost as the existing thread on this entire set of bestbuy samsung trade in deals has been around for 2+ weeks. Plus there's lots of specific information in there to help the best buy employee ring it up correctly

Can anyone answer this, what does T-Mobile upgrade means? I have T-Mobile with iPhone 12 Pro(fully paid). Can I upgrade my phone for free? What fees will I have to pay extra?

It is, but honestly I think it's good that it was posted again because the first one really is not getting attention from people that would benefit from it. Even this thread is easy to overlook because people think it's specific to the S22 Ultra. The original thread says 'save up to $900 on Z series' so people may dismiss that.

So, listen people, trade in your recent model phone for some pretty elevated trade in credit towards a current flagship Samsung unlocked phone. Over the past few weeks this deal has been going on the prices of the new phones has gone up and down but has actually dropped a few times to the point that you could get money BACK for upgrading.

Examples are like this current thread, but also trading in some S21 series phones and getting an almost even trade for a current S22, or in some cases getting $50 to $100 back, or upgrading for $50 to $100. These are NOT bill credits and not being locked into contract.

People are buying eligible model phones for $200 to $300 and then getting new unlocked flagship phones when trading them in.

See the couple of people I just replied to in this thread that had no idea what their phones could get them: https://slickdeals.net/f/16018270-pixel-6-pro-128gb-t-mobile-only-399-with-activation-399-99?v=1&p=157377409&comment=success#post157377409

Or you can upgrade now for minimum cost and get a brand new, current model phone, reset your warranty, and upping the value of your phone for future trade ins. Your Note 10+ gets you $600 right now in this promo, but a more current phone would get you $800 or $900. That cycle would repeat.

My S10+ battery capacitor blew out a couple months ago (I think water got in the charging port and then when I plugged it in to charge, I literally got a shock to my finger!). I have to slow wireless charge it now which takes forever, and the battery drains quickly.

But I really have no desire to jump to the S22 line. The ultra is just too big for my needs and the Plus model has an inferior quality screen to my S10. It's absurd. Samsung is just making dumb decisions left and right lately. They literally sabotaged their flagship phone just to make the more expensive "Ultra" more appealing to people. Why put a lower res screen on the Plus model?!

If anyone has suggestions on what I should do feel free to let me know. The charging issue with my s10 is pretty unbearable.

Why is T-mobile upgrade only? I see on product page I can also choose new line to get the discounted S22 ultra.

sounds like what a retail advertiser would say present real deals first.

you need to pay activation fee and taxes amounting to 100 dollars

so price is blah because taxes due to higher prices when it's not worth that much.
really taxes should be 50% lower given no one really buys these things for retail price.
but they do not thus the tax is really about 20%.

you save nothing upgrading now essentially unless you really want the phone.
say no to planned obsolescence.

environmentalist they say right? why are you consuming this when we need to produce more oil/gas and houses to reduce prices?

people are stupid?
anyway waiting for the great recession no one wants over priced phones over priced out of touch and asking to keep on increasing prices while offering deals making us pay extra tax

perhaps remove taxes first or account for it when telling us to buy at a discount taxes are not discounted

Bro, your s10 plus has a 60hz 1250 nit peak brightness screen. 120hz and 1750 peak on the s22 plus slaps it. Almost no one runs full resolution and 120hz on the s22 ultra. It's a cool option to have, sure but is FAR less noticeable than the screen's other amazing qualities. Also, pill shaped camera cutout is fugly. Upgrade, you won't regret it

Hi Everyone,

Can anyone confirm it works for Sprint customers? It did not work for my phone note 20 5g when i came in store. Employee said it would not activate through sprint and only works with t-mobile.

So final price was $1200 - $800 instead of $900 - $800.

thanks,

Ex Sprint -> Tmobile convert
