Anyone upgrading to S24, the news is not good but it is coming from a trusted source(Ice Universe) so probably is true.

- Samsung is downgrading 10x zoom to 5x
- Curved screen is going away
- Exynos for most countries in Asia/EU

Hopefully the bezels are slim with non-curved screen, but the 10x zoom removal pure stupidity

Bought a cracked screen s22 ultra on ebay for $250. Trade in for the s22 ultra cracked screen was $750. Plus the cash back site and education discount... overall not bad. Was in desperate need of a new phone.

+$1139 23 ultra
+$250 broken s22 ultra
-$750 trade in
-$60 cash back site

Total $579 (before taxes). I'll probably sell my current phone to recoup some more money. Thanks! Time to get another 3-4 years out of this phone.

- Galaxy Watch6 40mm for $99 or other variety for more & you can upgrade the band free.

Wish they boosted the trade-in values towards the regular S23. I feel like the best deal is when you can pre-order it and then Samsung pretends it doesn't exist for the rest of the year.

Yeah.. they only offer $120 for my S21 toward an S23. No thanks.

I wish I could have done one of these deals. I usually have a tendancy of waiting until my phone no longer functions and then needing to buy something immediately 🤣. This is a better deal than I usually get on a phone.

And what was the deal?

Quote from bieberwhole69

:

was the best buy trade-in straight up trade in or you had to pay for a plan? bc if you required a plan.. it's not a deal, imo. if it was a straight up trade like samsung's current offering.. then that deal is appealing.

I traded in a S21 and got the S22U 256GB and left with a $3 Bestbuy GC. I had to open a new T-Mobile line to max out the discount but was able to cancel right after I got home without any charge

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'.

Is it just California that charges you full tax?
That seems like highway robbery!

Not bad since you're already using Fi, because those are 24 months bill credit.

In this case, its technically 120 day bill credit. Once 120 days are counted(basically paid 4 months), the phone is fully paid at the 600 price point. Sadly they dont have free storage upgrade this time

Yea last years deal was sweet.
- free mem upgrade (got s22 Ultra 512gb)
- free buds pro
- almost $1200 in trade in credits for 2 cracked screen but working samsung phones.

I been holding off for a s23 Ultra deal like that, probably won't happen Frown

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..

Damn that blows. You're right, these trade in deals will probably get worse unfortunately.

I was able to get the S23 Ultra and S9 ultra trading S8 ultra and s22 ultra for $300

I think it was worth the memory upgrade and the chipset
