S23 Preorder Feedback ; Trade In deals / Promotion feedback

[SC1988]

These are the worst preorder trade-in deals ever. How dare Samsung try forcing us to sign contracts for 36 months with carriers to get the best deals. Gen Mill and Gen Z hate contracts. People need to boycott till they drop the prices for unlocked trade. For the previous s22 and fold and flip 4 models. CLEARLY SOME PEOPLE ARE BRAINWASHED STILL GETTING THEM. Sadly looking for clout as well. How pathetic.

Carrier actually got it late November but it does look like Samsung is in bed with carriers and trying to push customers towards them.

It's really sad,just sad.

Well when the stock sitting up in warehouses. Its called flash sale. From s21u to s22u at release. It was like $400 with trade in. I actually liked the s21u. It was nearlly perftect except the external spen. Around april dungsung sent me email trade in upgrade for like $165. Couldnt pass up that offer. So I can sit on this device for a couple years unless otherwise.

I'll be keeping my S21 Ultra and my fold 4 since the trade-in deals are bad and they're pushing carrier contract promotions which I will not do. I got T-Mobile service without contract and it's going to stay that way. Until dual trade-in deals return with higher value, no purchase will happen on my end.

I'm paying off my phones and just keeping them as backups for work.

The trade in value for my s22 plus was less than my s20fe last year? It is crazy. I don't understand why they are giving such poor trade in values for the customers that buy every year or so?

Samsung complained about poor sales last year? I guess they are hoping for repeat. I will wait for the summer sales or skip this year altogether.

Besides the processor there is not a lot of changes, I get the storage is faster and the ram is a bit faster but unless you get the Ultra cameras are basically the same.

They want $825 plus tax for an Ultra and $625 plus tax for a plus with trade in on my s22 plus. That is crazy.

[Abhaya71]

The best deal I have seen is from Google Fi. Of course you have to get there highest monthly payment of $65 a month but you get an instant half off the Ultra making cost $599 plus you can trade in your old phone making it even cheaper.

Samsung on the other hand is killing me with the terrible trade in value. I will be skipping until summer sales or next year.
