Latest scam nowadays even with sealed phones on FB, craigslist or Offerup is where folks sell real phones that are not blacklisted and with clean IMEIs. Problem is a few months down the road the phone gets remotely locked by Samsung because these sellers never sent in their trade in phones as originally promised and the original form of payment they used is conveniently no longer working. At this point, there's no recourse for the buyers that are stuck with just paper weights.

This is becoming so prevalent and widespread that I believe it won't be long before Samsung revamps their trade in policy subsequently addressing this issue and effing it up for the rest of us..

S22 ultra 256GB has 12GB ram.
S23 ultra 256GB has 8GB ram.
S23 ultra 512GbB has 12GB ram.

His earlier trade in (without the ram upgrade) downsized ram. This deal matches ram with bigger storage. Honestly, I think this deal is great for someone who has s22 ultra 128gb. Mine is s22 ultra 256gb so I am still on the fence, considering mine still runs like new, look like new and there is no much difference between 22/23.

Interesting. I was pissed when I had to pay taxes on original price minus trade-in value when the phone was discounted to $500 from $1,100. But would they have in California is a rip off.

Auto sales with tradin the same way? Just curious
Sadly, yes.

My last couple of Samsung devices have been a complete letdown. The last one I had died on me just weeks after the warranty expired and Samsung refused to help. I am done with the brand. They remind me of what Mitsubishi turned into, once the pinnacle of electronic excellence, then just fell into obscurity.

Is this worth the upgrade? Or should I wait until the S24 Ultra? I'm not impressed with my S22 Ultra's battery life.

Any other ways to reduce the out of pocket.

I have a previous order that I'll return, and buy this again. If I already opened and am using the Bud2 Pro from the previous order, can I just return the unopened one from the new order, using the previous order number? Or, does Samsung insist on returning the item with the serial number that matches the one on each order?

Trade in last year's $1000 phone to get an almost-identical experience for just $285 more! Oh and ofc, be a trust fund kid to be able to afford these things every year year after year too, what an awesome deal
I upgraded with a similar deal a year ago. The 23 is fantastic, and I notice better battery life, faster performance, better photos.

Thanks for detailed response.

I have brand new 22 128 with a bunch of cases I will never use... Smilie
Debating if I should do upgrade now or wait for better deal

I'm curious why $285 when the price is $1139.99 - $900? Shouldn't it be $239.99?

Also how do I get student thing if I am asked for a proof?

Thanks!

I added the Galaxy Watch 6 for $110 and Buds Pro 2 for $50, should be able to flip both and get the net cost lower.

last year for the s22u best buy did a trade in where you only paid like $30 for samsung unlocked version, but you had to be on a post paid plan - it was around this time frame. I expect lots of deals since android ppl will definitely switch to iphone with usb-c.
Yeah last year s21u to S22U in Samsung Shop was around $170 but that was from 128 to 256. I thought we'd get a similar deal.

Don't they reduce the purchase price by 900 bucks? I know that's what they do in Best buy when you do trade in
Unfortunately no. It sucks but what can you do...

I bit the bullet as my wife's s22u had a small scratch on the screen (some keys in her purse probably scratched it by accident). It's not visible most times but annoying when you see it.

Here's the list of items I got:
S23U 512gb unlocked $299 | trading in our s22u 512gb
Tab S9u 512gb $4 | trading in our Tab s8 ultra (works fine but can't pass up the deal)
Buds 2 pro black $50
Buds 2 pro white $50
Galaxy watch 6 44mm $110

Total (w/ some discounts): $488.96
Samsung pts redemption: - $1.50
Tax: $191.40 (ouch)
CA recycling fee (for tablet): $4
Grand total: $682.86

I got an extra $25 off by using app for the first time (in recent years bc I hadn't made a purchase on it since my s22u purchase).

Hope the breakdown helps someone. I don't really need the watch but figured I'd try the latest gen (still have my gear A3).

Don't forget to play around in incognito mode, you might get a popup for another $25 off coupon.

I was looking at this deal yesterday, and the trade in value for an s22+ was $800. Today it's $600. Goodbye Samsung
