Birthday code is exactly as it says. If you didn't receive this then you're probably not registered with Samsung to receive promotions or you're not eligible.

If you don't use Samsung Pay you won't have points to redeem anyway so you can forget about this too.

If you didn't register your interest you won't receive the RM 200 roi code.

Basically what I'm saying is none of these things will be sent without action from your end.

Your best bet is to use the codes from news sites.

No lah boss. I added a new post after that. Multiple devices trade in not available on the website yet.

Also you don't get a RM 600 rebate for wearables during trade in. That's only for S series.

Probably not much. Note 1 to 4 is not on the list. Starts from Note 5 onwards.

RM 600 rebate only available if purchased through the online store and multple device trade in is not available online yet. Even if it were available, I don't think you will be getting RM 600 rebate for each device traded in.

Note 5 to 20 all combined probably 3k I guess? I feel this trade in offer is only good if you have a really banged up device with 0 value. Nowhere else will anyone give you RM 600 for something that doesn't work.

You sell a working device on Garage Sales can fetch you more.

Time to take out all your old junk devices and see which one can trade in for an additional RM 600 rebate.

It's just a piece of plastic. You're better off using the e-voucher to get something else than waste RM 69 on that.

If anyone is still interested in buying this, the RM 200 ROI code is suddenly working again on the website.

I think so. I didn't try those from publications. I think there is limit to how many times these codes can be used. You can give it a shot.

I got mine directly from Samsung when I registered my interest in the S23 series about 2 months ago.

Also Samsung Care+ does not mean you can repair the phone as many times as you like. Once you exhaust the max repair value, that's the end of the contract, regardless of how much time is remaining.

It is still possible to get it at 3899 by trading in a device and using the ROI code if you registered for one last time. This is for 256 GB though.

I'm still thinking whether to proceed or not.

Check on your Samsung members app for an additional Rm200 off voucher for S23 series Raya promo.

It is only on the Samsung members app. Swipe through the banners on the main page.

Yeah sorry guys I just checked it on my phone, its still there but on my wife's phone, there is no Raya promo listed. I guess it is account specific.

I can't give away the code since I've already used it.

Are you using Wi-Fi 6?

Don't buy telco set. It's not worth the hassle and there's no way you can protect yourself against this.

That won't cause battery deterioration. Old batteries from a couple of decades ago will have that issue but the modern rechargeable Li-ion batteries don't have this weakness. You'll be fine charging it at random intervals.

The only thing I read about battery deterioration is from heat due to fast charging but the S23 series has pathetic fast charging anyway, it doesn't generate enough heat to cause any concern.

Don't think so much about the battery, just use it, charge it and enjoy it. Worst case scenario you'll have to replace your battery 3 years later for RM 200+. That's nothing to worry about.

7 hours is a good result for your SOT.

A lot of reviews don't mention the variables that influence the SOT like:

How many times you turn your screen on and off
What background apps are running
Bluetooth/GPS/NFC usage
AOD
Signal strength
Apps they use
Etc...

There are too many to consider and most of these reviewers are only reviewing it for the sake of reviewing it. None of them really test it long term to give you a rough idea and those who do never ever mention what they use it for. Its always the same rehashed script that is probably shared with all reviewers out there.

Don't worry so much about the SOT. As long as the battery doesn't die on you at 1 PM while you're stuck in traffic in a weird place using GPS while trying dial emergency numbers calling for help and your favourite gacha game has a free 100 pull guaranteed 5 star limited for 5 minutes only, you're probably fine.

Samsug is having an additional RM 500 off for S23+/Ultra on their website.

It stacks with the 5% discount for new users and RM 600 trade in.

Samsung website is having 10% off for new accounts, stackable with the RM 500/1000 off for S23+/Ultra models for father's Day and the RM 600 trade in.

That's a truck ton of discount there.

The 10% discount thing is not a father's day promotion. It was just a 2 day promotion for new users.

Btw the way it works is strange, if you have added something to the cart and proceeded to check out, it is considered as one purchase even if you did not make the payment at the end. Probably a bug on the website.

No it ended at 12 AM but you can still get a 5% discount if you create a new account now.
