Get your new phone up and running first. Look for any issues for a week.
Do a factory reset on your old phone. take a picture of the screen with your new phone to show no issues of front and back while on. In case Samsung employee tries to pull a fast one on you.
Turn your old phone off and wrap it up. You can dop off at any Fedex drop off location or find a Dollar General store. They will scan the package and send a receipt notice via text to your phone. Samsung will receive a couple business days later and let you know they receive. Few more days until they get a chance to review and ok the trade-in.

On another note interestingly noticed the Samsung India website is selling the 256gb version of this phone with 12gb ram while both Samsung USA and Samsung UK is only giving 8gb!
Also get a new warranty.
and future value when traded or sold. So it ultimately will cost less than $250, possibly nothing.
If you just paid $250 for the S23 Ultra then it would cost you $250 , but you are not, you are paying $250 plus giving them your old phone which has an opportunity cost
(assuming s22U has a street value of $500)
Option 1: Buy the s23U , trade in S22U : cost $250 + s22U ($500)
Option 2: Don't buy the s23U , save $250 and keep S22U ($500)
Option 3: Buy s23U without a trade - not a good deal

And the resale value is going to keep falling.
I feel the s22u has a major defect that makes it not as good as a long term keeper, it runs really hot under load.

I don't think 5% Paypal CB stacked with other sites so I used TCB. $30 pending soon after order.
For whatever reason my S22 ultra purchased unlocked last year from Samsung started to have battery degradation around month 7 or 8. Not much but progressivly noticable. To the point that I went from getting a day and (sometimes) a quarter worth of battery to about three quarters of a day before needing to charge. And I had tweaked every battery saver option available to get three quarters of a day, including screen resolution and dark display.
I wasn't sure it would be a warranty issue, so that's on me for not looking into it ( and I do wonder what Samsung's criteria there is - if any - to file a battery claim).
In addition, I had in month 13 ( out of warranty again) started experiencing antenna issues that after several diagnostic steps was clearly an internal phone issue.
That's why i traded in a month ago. Yes. The phones are very similar. I think the S23 Ultra has been noticabley smoother overall.
Regarding the battery....' a bit better' ? No. Its significantly better. I can only speak for myself. My phone habits have not changed and I am getting almost two days use before having to charge.
Very happy overall with the S23 Ultra. Hopefully no serious battery degradation this time ( otherwise i will hesitate buying another Samsung). But to be clear if the antenna and battery issues had not happened, I would have kept the S22 Ultra.
Not worth spending additional to upgrade to s23 ultra at this point. There will be more upgrade opportunities later on.
