It looks like the US "Reservation Gift" cannot be used towards the phone either: "The Gift cannot be applied to the pre-ordered device(s) and must be used at the time of pre-order purchase towards purchasing additional eligible products on Samsung.com, or in the Shop Samsung App."

Exactly. Having a choice is better. Still have not had anyone explain what the customer GAINED by removing the expansion slot. Prices have done nothing but go up since it's removal.

getting rid of the SD card was a money grab on the high end phones....storage is cheap.....they figure if you can afford their high end phone you will pay up for more storage.....they include and brag about the A54 having SD card storage

Quote from WatsYourDeal :
Not always true and I'd like to respectfully disagree. I'll try to make my argument below.

Headphone jack: Apple removed the headphone jack during the time I'm sure more than 10% of users did use them. They could've easily launched Airpods alongside the headphone jack, but they timed it that way because it benefits them and created a Billion dollar industry out of thin air. (We all know how Samsung ridiculed it, but then noticed the money it made and followed course)
Apple claims: Innovation, Ease-of-use, Slimmer phones, water-resistance
Myth bust: Providing users the choice doesn't take away from ease or innovation. Galaxy S8, S9 were slimmer, had larger batteries and provided water resistance.
Reality: More money for the company
Do users miss this in 2022? ~50% do. https://www.androidpolice.com/wee...martphone/ [androidpolice.com]

Expandable storage / microSD: Support for microSD card is something most would appreciate and use. 128G is not enough for many, esp. if they shoot videos. (Ask any pet parent). I had never bought the higher storage tier phones when they had expandable storage - because the base storage was enough for my apps and OS, and I had the freedom of expanding storage when I needed. And external storage also approached very good speeds around the time they were deprecated on phones. By removing this, they have forced millions of casual users to consider upgrading storage tiers for that one occassion where they might otherwise run out of space - and that is an easy $100 or more upchage. And in most cases these storage tiers don't move the needle enough in terms of increased trade-in / resale values.
Company claims: Not fast enough, not needed, not used by most people.
Myth bust: High-Speed microSD were sufficiently fast for recording 4K video to card. If not needed or not used, why do we see so many people choose higher storage tiers?
Do people miss this in 2023? Apparently ~84% still do. https://www.androidauthority.com/...s-3366161/ [androidauthority.com]

User-replaceable batteries are also another topic of contention - proving to be one of Top 3 reasons contributing to planned obsolescence in Smartphones, though IMO not brazen as the above 2 anti-consumer moves.
https://fastercapital.com/content...Cycle.html [fastercapital.com]

Companies collect huge data on user habits and preferences, but they don't always use them to give more of what users want - they also use this data to hold arbitrage of features they care, and market a different form of them that users will be forced to pay for - eventually driving profits. I've ranted enough - all I'm saying is let us not drink the kool aid fed by these companies' PR.
From a business standpoint, removing the MicroSD slot also reduces the errors that come with it. Strangely, you always see consumers complain about external storage on Samsung posts but never on Apple posts.

Lol when a company pees on their customers and they believe them when they say it's rain. Fits very in line when you see people defending a company and their excuses lol

Good deal but think I'll stick with my note 10+.. Its still got a fancy smancy SD slot hahaha.

There's no innovative upgrades either and there hasn't been any for the last few years. All it is, is bigger battery, battery saving cpu, better camera. Oh well, I guess that's when you know you're old. When you realize tech hasn't been innovative for a while.
Still rocking note10+ also but definitely notice it slowing down and freezing up pretty often these days

Our 3 years of feature updates is over on the Note 20 so they're starting to try to force updates if that matters for you.

Also, I encourage everyone to consider turning on the battery saving option [samsung.com] where it limits the charge to 85% even when plugged in, it will prolong the battery life long enough to last the (now) 4 years of updates that is promised with the S24.

I will never buy a Samsubg phone again, ever. I was burned 3 different years by bait and switch when ordering directly with Samsung. One year a missing item, one year the wrong color. Dealing with their after sales Customer Service is a NIGHTMARE of EPIC proportions. I'd rather go without a phone than to ever have to deal with Samsung directly again.

Yea every once in a bluemoon there's a random freeze when I wake my screen.

I bet it's not even hardware related, Samsung be fking up software updates making our phones feel slower than it's suppose to be.

Are you using verizion? When I tried I had about 500 in bill credits on my account. They said if I traded the phone, all those credits would no longer apply so basically 0 😢. And i am still responsible for the remaining phone balance which was around 600. I did read up to verify to make sure they we not trying to pull a fast one.
There should be a difference in terms for device bill credits vs monthly payments for it but that might be different if credits are not for full price of the device (technically if you get credits that cover devices payments in full you already own the phone just still required to stay with provider till all credits end and if you leave early then responsible for non discounted remaining balance vs if you make monthly payments on it you don't own device because it's not paid off) as usually it depends on terms signed during agreement though and wireless carrier rules.

Phones are just so boring now. The only thing I know about the iPhone 15 Pro is that it is made of titanium, and I do not know a single person who cares. Isn't it in a case for its entire life anyway? When was the last time something broke that wasn't the screen? Is the frame honestly breaking for . . . anyone? And now it looks like the S24 Ultra is pointlessly following in Apple's footsteps.

Foldables look like the next "big thing" in mobile. I would love the Flip just to reduce this giant brick in my pockets. But the camera compromises, questionable longevity, etc. just make the entire thing seem like beta tech. Hoping we can see some advancements in this area and less in pointless "titanium" and whatever else.
