Oh, and appliances, too, but they're not worth mentioning since they're so unreliable.

Quote from dallas_salad :
The US unlocked (non-carrier unlock) variants work with international SIM/eSIM, right? Finding mixed info online. Some info online state it doesn't work but find it hard to believe they'd region lock an "unlocked" phone, more likely these people just don't have the correct band coverage at their destination.
Apparently there is an actual region look on the s23 generation and essentially it means you need to activate the phone in the region it is intended for and make a 5 min phone call, then it removes the regional restrictions. So for a US phone to be used in APAC or EMEA, you need to activate it here and make a 5 min call with one of the carriers here, then you are good. Unfortunately, there is no display of message popping up, but the intentions I guess are to block a container of us phones being sold elsewhere.

Not sure if they applied this Region lock to all phones but folks in Australia seemed to have issues with devices intended for Europe etc. the bands of the newer phones are pretty global so that should not be an issue unless for Chinese markets. Always good to check though.

Check for 5G as well.

Maybe this is for trading with S22...

I tried my S9+ or S10+, it is like $170 and $280....
Just for fun and look up Pixel 7 as a trade in ... $245

So, my S10+ worth more than the Pixel 7? Samsung is funny, your marketing people need to find a new job. Mad

What a waste of time....OMG

Wow. iPhone 11 fetches 200 now during this epic fail ahh sale event instead of 195. Apparently the event was over before it even started. 😀

$540 TIV for an S22+. No thank you. You shell out another 600+ for a new version. And that's with Samsung devices being like a car from a dealer. You lose 20% just driving it off the lot.

One of the issues right now is that the enhanced trade ins aren't showing. Just prior to the sale 3 hours ago, my s21fe was worth 400 trade in. It's back to around 120

Quote from hpham_53 :
Samsung's pricing is deceptive. It's not 88% OFF or promo price: $99. The base S23 still sells for $799 and you have to trade-in something for $700 to get a net cost of $99. It's like a dealership claiming to sell a $50K car for 90% OFF (promo price: $5K) but you have to trade in a car worth $45K.
Look's like this "event" is going to be a downer 👎🏼
Just checked the TIV & it's the same as yesterday only without the 1TB Lime Green offer.

So you paid $450 and gave up an S22U to upgrade to the S23U? You got robbed.

Yeah he could've essentially bought a Pixel 7a, got free Pixel Buds, and kept the S22U for that.

Same thing happened with the galaxy watch 5 preorder thread. For some reason it hovered between 80 to 82 deal score as time went on and every post being negative (charging 40 dollars for bands etc). Makes me wonder if theres a part of the deal score algorithm that prevents it from rapidly dropping once it's built up to a certain point (so a deal marked popular cant lose its popular status)
