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.

that I won't be upgrading to the newest Samsung smartphone. . The trade in value is $300 less this year for my S22Ultra ($500) than what I got trading in my S21U and got $800 trading it in for the S22U. In fact, when I bought my S21U I traded in my S10+ and got $550 for that plus a $200 Samsung credit for accessories.

There's little much improvement when reading reviews from top tech blogs and YouTubers. I'll wait until next year. I'm curious as to what the S22 will get in software upgrades for the camera system that is nearly identical to the S23U. I just cannot see spending more money for such small upgrades. 

Anyway, I hope those who get this latest release are happy with their purchases

I second this if the trade-in was higher I would have traded only because of the camera I love taking pictures of the sky

Awesome @AndyMarrmarr, which color did you get and which device are you upgrading from?

[AndyMarrmarr]

Ordered the Sky Blue, 1TB. From the S21Ultra. Also my 1st time purchasing the unlocked phone from Samsung. I always used to go through my carrier. Double stoked. 👏🏾

[MarkC609]

Cool! I also ordered the Sky Blue 512GB. I'm so glad Samsung decided to give us customers this Sky Blue with the polished aluminum frame. Mine will be arriving Monday as well! Congrats on going Unlocked.

I just found out that Samsung has quietly increased trade-in values for Apple devices even though it's still preorder. 

Will Samsung ever do the same for Samsung devices during the preorder? 

This is unbelievable and unacceptable for loyal Samsung customers.
