General (CANADA) Galaxy S23 Ultra pre-order, offers etc. discussion thread. - Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

Here we go again!
I placed an order for a S23 Ultra 512gb in "Sunset Red", traded-in my S22 Ultra!
at Samsung.ca

Same here. Looking forward to the improved photo / video capabilities and the extra HP under the hood.

Same. Just traded in my s21 ultra they're giving me 800 discount for it I thought that was very decent for a 2 years old phone! And the free upgrade to the 512gb/12ram variant is a nice touch too (apparently the 256gb only has 8gb Ram?). Now hopefully they ship it a bit in advance

I got the red 1tb s23 ultra red variant with $50 off and apparently free galaxy buds 2 or some nonsense.. I have Anker noise canceling headset I bought in Tokyo at the Anker store on Black Friday.

Placed my order for the 512GB Graphite version . They gave me $487 for trading in my Note 10 (smaller regular version) and got the ear buds as well

That's not bad for a near 4 year old phone. Have a N10+ and Telus would only quote about $200 for mint condition, when even the s22U was first released.
Freedom "saves" around $647 on "trade up" and it looks like pretty much every mobile shop here rips people off for trade in value, even if you keep a 2 year upgrade cycle (Samsung appears to be much better in this regard, even for older devices).

You got hosed. Spending $1000 to more to upgrade to a minimal difference phone. Samsung probably offered you $600 lol

I also ordered the 512G version in Blue. They gave me $800 for my old Note S20 Ultra 5G.

I just cancelled my order. The $859 CDN trade-in for my S22 Ultra 1TB is way too low.
Update: Cancelled my cancellation. Irrational trumps rational once again.

Same. I was actually pretty impress with the trade in offer for a 2 plus year old phone. By the way did you try looking up your expected delivery date? Weirdly says starts shipping on 17th March. Do you reckon that's a glitch? I did order bunch of accessories for the phone. Does that have anything to do with that?

What seems to be the expected shipping date for the orders here gentlemen? I am somehow supposed to receive the phone and the accessories after 17th march. That's not what i pre-ordered for.

Mine still says shipping from Feb 8 but if you selected one of the online exclusive colors I had noticed some shipping dates were later. And I remember when I preordered my s21 ultra it shipped a few days later because they were waiting on one of the accessories.
Do a live chat with them they should be able to tell you which item is causing the delay and if it's an accessory you can most likely ask them to remove it from the order.

I saw if you ordered one of the specialty colors it said it would ship in 5-6 weeks. I didn't notice it when I ordered and I did order a specialty color.

Yeah turns out it was the exclusive color as well some accessories. I am trying to reconnect to live chat but the waiting times are hella long. Hopefully i can cancel the order and go for the cream color instead.
Thanks

The shipping dates are just approximate. Most just say February 17th because that's when you officially can buy one from a retail store. From my experience with the S20U and S22U the Unlocked models usually come 2-3 days earlier than when stores get them. Carrier Phones arrive even sooner as they get priority over Unlocked models. So take those delivery dates with a grain of salt as they are just estimates which are always later than when you actually will get them.
Here is something even weirder for this year. On the past two phones I ordered from Samsung they would bill me when I placed the order to make sure the funds were available. It would say pending and then after 2 to 3 days it would drop off my credit card and I would get the funds back and Samsung wouldn't bill me again till it shipped. Well that happened again this year and I got the funds back. But today it actually cleared pending and dates yesterday as a past and cleared purchase which I even got the 1.5% cashback on. They never give me the Cashback until the sale is actually completed So that most likely means I'll be getting a notification soon that it shipped. Could Sammy be shipping earlier this year?
So like I said take those delivery dates with a grain of salt. Some people have gotten theirs already in Europe. The custom colors are getting a limited run and not surprised to see those pushed back till March.

Okay so i am talking to an agent right now and he recommended the same thing to not cancel the order. It might just arrive earlier than anticipated. What i am worried about is the two accessories that i ordered (screen guard and a silicon case), those two clearly has pre-order emblem on them and the agent did confirm i would get everything in a single package so little bit skeptical but lets hope for the best.

Just have patience you will get it eventually. If you cancel your just going to have to wait even longer especially if they ran out of the first batch of stock which would push new order dates back to late March. Seen that happen before and peeps always regret their impatience.

UK release date confirmed

So, I pre ordered a C6833 from Clove what seems like an eternity ago & they finally have a date of when the handsets will be shipping. According to their site update this morning: First stock confirmed arriving 12th September, for dispatch on the 13th. Its a shame they'll be shipping out on a Friday as you can almost guarantee that means they'll arrive on Monday rather than Saturday.
I'm sure Sony will confirm this launch date later today in Berlin.

I phoned Clove earlier & asked about the chances of a Saturday delivery. The guy told me if I'd chosen Royal Mail as the delivery method it would be quite likely. If I'd chosen another courier it would almost definitely be a Monday delivery. I changed it over to royal mail on the phone

Well even if yours arrives on Monday you'll be pleased anyway to have a SmartWatch 2 and a SBH20 FOR FREE!
I have to check here for some offers, because 612 GBP plus 26 GBP (s&h) will result in like 750 euros, which is A LOT.
BUT, official Italian Sony site says the base price for the Z Ultra s 729 euros, so I guess I'll have to think about it, given that here a SW2 would cost 199 euros...
I have a friend going to NY mid September, but even with the exchange at 1.35 it wold cost me more than that...
What to do... What to dooooooooo??
EDIT: now that I've seen samsung and Sony (ironically my S3 writes the two initial "s" as I wrote them ) conferences, I'm more than ever convinced on the ZU.
Other than that, buying the ZU from Clove seems a real deal, but I wanted to ask some of you if they have had previous experiences, as in if I incur in some problems, will they change my device, are they reliable? Do they answer promptly to email (as I'm in Italy, I won't be phoning but emailing instead)?

This is my first purchase from Clove although they have been on my radar for a couple of years now so I can't help you with return issues sorry. I did however email them a few times with nagging questions about when they would be expecting the ZU to arrive etc. TBH they took over a day to respond to my emails. They did respond every time & but it wasn't as quick as I'd of liked. Speaking to them by phone seems to be the best method as they have always been polite, helpful & quick to answer any questions.
It does seem like an excellent deal when comparing the freebies from Clove & the prices other retailers are selling just the handset for...

I bought one white ZU (plus SmartWatch 2 and SBH20, luckily it's written on the receipt so no one could tell me "you weren't in time" ), and a DK30 dock for a total of about 674 GBP, a little more than 800 EUR. According to the Sony official site in Italy, I would have spent a little less than 1K EUR, so that's a real deal for me.
What I don't understand is, as this is a preorder (well, part of it, since the DK30 is in stock right now), why they billed me for the full order right away.
I was under the impression that there were a complex following of security questions, and that the billing would be when the product is actually in stock, but I may have misunderstood that.
Could you confirm that when you go to your account, under your order it says "BACKORDER"?
I thought it meant that they had a product and they don't anymore, but maybe they use it as in "we don't have it", full stop.
Waiting for your confirmation...

Yeah, mine says the same... I ordered a sbh52 before I'd ordered the handset as I knew I was going to get it any way & that says preorder but the handset says backorder.
When I spoke to the guy on the phone the other day he assured me I would receive the smartwatch etc & that mine would be from the first batch as I was one of the first orders (August 9th)

Ok, thanks, you really relieved me.
I assume that either they have a lot of handsets on the way, or they didn't have many orders until now.
Anyway, I don't care as long as I have my handset for monday/thursday (I chose FedEx, they're usually quick...)...

I ordered the ZU from Clove ages ago and took payment then so nothing to worry about.
Eagerly awaiting its arrival. What colour did you guys go for? I went for white (my first white Xperia), as it looks more premium than the black version. Which ones did you go for?
I went for black. My Note 2 was white (first white handset I've owned) & I always regretted it when I saw the grey version...
I'll put up with the finger print magnet black this time

I have to say I'm still in two minds - I love the white aluminium finish on the sides and the back will show fingerprint marks less.
However, I'm not keen on the front of the device with the white border, which takes away some of the immersion when viewing content.
I'm in half-a-mind to change, but can't decide. I've been umming and ahhing for days now!
Almost had the same thought - use one of the light backcovers if blacks back is freaking you out.
Giving you the generally harmonious design of the black version, and leaves you alone with cleaning session if you're bugged of it.
Very close to switching my order now, the more I think about it, I think black will be better overall. The XZU will go into a case anyway, so the fingerprint problem isn't too much of an issue.
I just opened an account and ordered the C6833 LTE from here.

10% off with first order using the discount code 3N6ME at the checkout.
Delivery direct from manufacturer by the 23rd Sept.
Its the same deal as clove with the free SW2 SmartWatch & SBH20 Bluetooth Headset. Altogether it cost me £543.05 You can get it one 3 months interest free credit but I'll just pay it off when the bill arrives.
You guys are paying stupid money, Clove and Very are a pure rip off, You people are just wasting £100+ to get it 24 hours early....

Personally I'll be selling the free accessories, so all in ill be paying £400ish for the device.
But seriously dude even if people were paying double that, just let them spend their money as they see fit, its no concern of yours.

Not in my country I'm not. In my country it costs ~£640, I bought it from Clove at 675, but while in my country I would have had only the handset, with that money I paid the handset, a SmartWatch 2, a bluetooth headset SBH20, a DK30 dock, and I also paid for priority shipping.
I won't sell the accessories simply because I would have bought them anyway, so, for me, this is saving money, not "paying stupid money".
You wanna get it in February when it costs 450? Suit yourself, nobody is telling you what to do.
And by the way, I've seen people spending three times what was worth a PlayStation 1 when it first came out just to buy it on D1, and the same thing happens over and over again with hundreds of items, so go and wait for a price cut while we stand in line to get our first batch.

I also ordered my XZU way back in early August(Seems like forever) and saw the confirmed date...I had messaged Clove just after that date was posted and they replied that they still did not have a confirmed date from Sony, so I don't know what to make of this and will hope that this is indeed true....

Samsung says all preorders will get their phone by September 14th

I hate to start another waiting room thread, but I stumbled across a few articles wherein Samsung commits to every preorder being delivered by 9/14. Here's one:
http://bgr.com/2017/09/08/galaxy-note-8-preorders-sales-numbers-vs-galaxy-s8/
"Some customers who pre-ordered from Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Samsung.com have already received their devices, and Samsung has said that any customers who order a Note 8 from Samsung.com today will receive it on or before September 14th — still a day before it’s scheduled to show up in stores."
A different article stated that Samsung is doing this to deflate the upcoming I-Phone release. Anyone have any thoughts on this? With all the late september/early october shipping estimates that we got when we ordered (I ordered unlocked under the note 7 promo last week, got an October 1st shipping estimate), is it possible that they will all be delivered this week?
Dud I also got the Oct 1 date for the unlocked version, I would call Samsung if you can't wait.
I never said I can't wait... did I?
Just a recent news story to provoke thoughtful discussion on a somewhat hot forum topic.
I don't know, doesn't seem to be any logic or reason behind Samsung shipping phones. Some people ordered last Friday and got the phones yesterday or today. Some like myself ordered on the 24th and still have nothing. Would like to believe it, but I will be surprised at this point If I get my phone this week. Samsung already failed to live up to its promises made to me, so I don't have much faith in them.

Cancel your order then go to a BB and get your phone there on 9/15? Or is the $150 off for orders before 9/15 only?

Yup. My Note 4 is still holding up. I can wait.
Just a bit jealous of all of the people who already have them. I know that this is how BB does things, though. Is what it is, I guess.
Looks like this was fud as well. 14th is here, and I doubt mine will show up. I now hopefully will get it before October. The 150 dollars in now going on week 3 of watching other people get thier phones. Doesn't help that Samsung customer lack of service has mislead me time and time again.

Deliveries delayed by 1 week

PhoneArena has reported that pre-ordered Note 10+ deliveries are being pushed back by one week. I went to check Samsung web page and it's true. Only the black Note is still on schedule for 23rd. I'm hoping that this is simply a demand-supply situation and those of us who have made the early bird reservations will get the phones as promised on 23rd. My pre-order email confirmation says 23rd no updates from Samsung whatsoever.

This is for people that just pre-ordering at the moment. If you pre-ordered early as you mentioned, then you should be fine. I remember when I pre-ordered S10, the story was the same, but since I ordered early, it arrived 2 days prior to the promised date. If I remember the date correctly, it was March 8 when the phone would be delivered, but Samsung shipped it on Monday, March 4th and I got it on the 6th. I am hoping for the same story with Note 10, where Samsung would ship the phones on the 19th and I would get it by 21st
That's right, I remember the hype related to S10, I was ordering, canceling and reordering again. Went from S10+ to S10(returned, couldn't stand the fp sensor) and settled down w/ S10e, great phone - just little bit to small for reading ebooks. Ended up getting it very late because of that. They(marketing people) know how to make people go crazy
Mine still says Aug 23rd. Hoping for an earlier arrival! I've been tempted to call Samsung to see if they could switch my phone order for another color, but have been nervous about screwing anything up and it gets here late.

Even if you call, Samsung may not do it and will tell you to "cancel and reorder". I wanted to make a simple change to my S10 pre-order back in March, but the rep told me the above
I pre-ordered mine from T-Mobile, Aura Glow 256gb Note10+ right when pre-orders opened. Still says estimated shipping is Aug 23. BTW why isn't there a mega thread for US models like there are for UK, Canada, etc?
Such an "Apple" thing to do. Hold back stock, then report there is such demand that devices are delayed in shipping. UGH
As of right now (Aug 14th,2019) Sprint shows only one delay and that's the 512gb Aura Black version of the note 10 + so, here's to hoping

Pre-Ordering Microsoft Duo

Lets go!
Pre-ordered from the Microsoft store. Have been utilizing Microsoft rewards so I will get reward points for my purchase also. Now the wait ?
Pre-ordered, but went through AT&T sadly. Wanted the unlocked version, but it is too pricey outright.
I pre ordered mine via bestbuy. I am hoping this lightens my load while increasing my functionality. Here's hoping Verizon will activate on the esim and I can use AT&T on the sim slot

I also pre-ordered with AT&T, we have a business account with them. I'm going to make it my DD for a week or so to see if it would be a good fit for where I work. If there were just a few key differences I would feel a little more excited about it. My wish list in no particular order would be 1) Bigger batteries, at least over 5,000mA 2) Minimum 90 Hz refresh rate 3) Thinner bezels all the way around. I'm okay with some bezel just trim them maybe in half?? 4) Wireless charging (I realize I need to give up some thickness for the battery and charging coil, I'm good with it) 5) Stereo speakers, this will a media device to a certain degree.
Preordered through AT&T as well. Anxiously waiting, but I do have some reservations. My main one is the size. I'm coming from the Huawei Mate 20 X. Using a Pixel 4a at the moment to get used to a smaller screen again. None of the specs bother me. I get tired of hearing about the 855 processor. I mean just over 9 months or so ago every reviewer was gushing over how fast it was. Now, it's like a Model T in their eyes. Ridiculous. I'm just worried about the smaller screen size.
People get very hung up on specs, I have been hearing good things about performance but again that's just numbers. The real test will be individual usage and how it performs for each of us. If you have AT&T or Best Buy close by, you may want to see if they got demo units in. They were supposed to go live 08/28. there are YT videos popping up.
August 30 in best but near me
I wonder if they will ship out before the 10th to avoid possible delays
My understanding is that the device would be delivered by 09/10.

I read an article stating they'd start shipping on 9/10. I quickly checked my pre-order which clearly stated delivery by 9/10.

As does my AT&T order. if they say Delivery by 09/10 then they will make every effort to meet that commitment. (will any of them arrive early, who can say..) I have never had one show up late.
Cheers,
BR
at 9/10 it should be at your door.
just got charged today for my pre order
Just saw the charge for my preorder.

Very odd cause most charges fall off in a few days . I work for Apple and we try not to do this so early cause we would get people who get there devices and then cancel the card later.
I’m hoping is means they will ship soon. I can probably look for my order number on UPS.

General UK Pre Orders - Galaxy S23 Ultra

So who has Pre-Ordered one?
I have ordered the 512Gb Ultra in Red.
Hopefully I have it in my hands on Monday 13th February. Pre 10:30am DPD.
Really looking forward to having a Snapdragon in a 'Note' finally.
So what you getting?
Yes, green from 3 arriving by the 13th also
Yep - 13th and ordered the Grey 512GB
Also ordered their screen protector since they're about similar price to 3rd party
Ordered a Ptaka Aramid case too so the colour is kinda irrelevent -- i like the aramid cases
Green and due on 13th. Cancel order button now gone but still processing. Hope its not the same as last year when my date past and kept moving. Ended up cancelling from samsung and got one from elswhere next dsy
Got the s23+ 512gb
Used a referral code to get 10% off to bring it down to £944 and then some weird hack of adding a £34 USB flash drive brought the price down instead of up. Ended up coming to £850. Also went via topcashback and an extra £43 quid has tracked. All in all £807. Not bad!
Phantom Black Ultra, 512gb, £410 trade in for my S21 Ultra and £150 discount for another reason i'm not sure of also £42 via topcashback, so total cost of device £797, Not too shabby for the Ultra delivery on 13th hopefully. Edit: £15 topcashback bonus as first purchase over 15 quid, so device total is now £782
The guy on the phone at EE said I should have it Monday or Tuesday. Is this true or was he just giving the usual spiel?

Could be true, i would think if they have already taken delivery of stock, no point them holding them taking up space.

The £150 was to give us the 512GB for the same price as the 256GB variant.
I went for the Watch 5 Pro as the 10% additional discount, refferal code and £100 trade in for any smart watch in any condition made for massive savings
No idea what is going on with delivery dates.... Just looked on Samsung website and added a pre order phantom black ultra and it states delivery 7th feb?
Anyone can DM me a referral code? Wanna buy my other half a watch but i missed the pop-up when i ordered

Can't help you i'm afraid, i wasn't logged in to my samsung account when i placed my order
Ordered 2/02/2023, Green 512GB. Status doesn't change...
Any one noticed that prices droped ? I bought mine s23u on 1st feb at 8pm and price for s23u 1tb was 1599f and today i see price for the same phone is 1399f They sent to me an email that if i find same phone cheaper, they will refound me difference. Sami have such special website samsung.com.uk price-promise but when i try to claim my purchase there is form to fill and no such phone in drop menu so i can't go next step. Strange.
Annoying how I ordered yday and the earliest delivery was 13th Feb. Now it says 7th Feb if you were to place an order now.

Those shipping dates are almost always BS. They are estimates and you will usually get your phone before those estimates. But if you cancel thinking your gonna get it earlier your just going to the back of the line and then all bets are off.
Out of interest, I added the flash drive to get a further discount. What happens if you try to return just the flash drive? Do you have to pay them money lol?

Yes, they've dropped price for 1tb model to £200 from £100. Not sure if also added %10 off total order price if additional, whatever, item purchased
Ordered a 1TB Graphite. Mine said delivery from 10th but some are saying 7th now. Order still says processing and cancel button still there
