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.
What prices do you think you'll get?

I have a measly s21 Fe to trade in and only getting $300 dropping the price to $900. I can buy a new sealed s23 Ultra on offer up for around $700 and sell my phone to get to for substantially lower.
Brand new , sealed s23 ultra for around 700. LoL. A sucker is born everyday.

Is the upgrade at close to $300 worth it? More like a yearly subscription which keeps going up and up and up.
No it's not worth it. Maybe a hundred bucks would be just to get new warrantied hardware. You would likely notice zero difference between them, then in 4-5 months youll want the s24 ultra anyway for another 300 dollars. Then theres all the new cases for the s23 ultra to look at since the designs are every so slightly off

Quote from The-Mentalist :
For me, the bigger perk would be better battery life. S22U out the box wasn't so good, and in less than a year, it has gotten worse

Also, at about $300 for this 23U, we might be adding some trade in value for S24U with possible breakthrough enhancements. S22U might start losing substantial value in trade in then
In California there is $100 tax so it's like $400 and next years trade in will be another $100 tax and the year prior phone's usually have just $200 less trade in. On just value wise here in Cali it's better to go every 2 years. That being said with the added trade in value and getting my s8+ upgraded to the s9 ultra for $88 I decided to pay the $200 in tax and do a trade in even though I did it last year too.

I got the google fi deal on launch 600$ for the s23 512GB ultra.
sold my s22(reg) for 350$

The battery lasts at least 2x as long.. (of course battery is bigger but so is screen etc)
I routinely have went 3 workdays between charging or about 60 hours.
and that with listening to music for 6 or 8 hours.

I was thinking about doing the 600$ google fi s23 ultra deal for the wife.. but its now the 256GB model.. so probably will wait on the s24 ultra.

Considered it, but the tax on the MSRP is ridiculous. Sounds like the S23U solves the battery issue with the S22U, but I'll keep keeping on until the price dips down another $100 at least

Tax in CA kills this deal:
Subtotal $284.99
Estimated tax $118.92
Total $403.91

Btw: there is barely any difference between s22u and s23u.
So won't spend $400 for an 'upgrade'.

Purely cost wise, no ...
Next year when trading for s24ultra, s23ultra will be worth only $200 more. So assuming you are trading in for s24ultra, then your net loss is $100.

However, for $100 you gain a year of better battery and battery, I would say go for it.

Like others have said, main reason to upgrade from s22u to S23U is battery life, but there are other benefits. Many of us got our s22u at launch by trading in older phones (I did a note 20 and another phone for my 2 s22U's) so we've put enough wear and tear on them.

Aside from declining battery life (from inferior base battery life of the s22u), I'll gain much better performance due to new processor as well as other differences.

Also, if you are ordering this phone, consider stacking these other deals:
1) Add buds 2 pro for $50. It's worth $150 and is one of the best wireless Earbuds on the market (I have one and it stands out among my 10+ earphones, rivaling wired audiophile IEMs).
2) Add tab s9u for $4 if you have tab s8u to trade. This allows you to add another buds 2 pro for $50.
3) Add galaxy watch 6 for $100 ($110 for 43mm). When doing this, do the customize option to add the leather hybrid band ($80 value) for free! I missed this one. Doh!

If you can get all these deals to stack, congratulations!
If ppl find more things to stack, please chime in.

I saw Tmobile version has a free S23U case but I couldn't get it to work with the $4 tablet deal. Tmobile version is gone now anyhow.

Best trade in is S21+ 5G.
Why were the TIV values so low for the S22 phones when this one released? It could be due to the poor battery life and if the TIV was better, they could have had too many used S22's on their hands. Just IMO.

This would have been slick, but why is the tax 32.22%? I could pick this up tomorrow in LA, but the $91.83 tax kills the $284.99 deal for me.
