Can’t brain why accessories and phone cannot be collected by same dispatch unit. My leather case was awaiting dispatch on 17th, 18th collected, today got it. I believe they’re coming from same warehouse.

You are lucky enough if they dispatch your item separately instead of waiting for both arrived together then only dispatch.

Now I am curious, if buy standard warranty KTS Protect-i (not samsung care+ with ADLD), since can buy within 6 months (instead of 30 days with samsung care+), will the warranty start on when we purchase the warranty too?

If this is so, This means effectively you can get extra 6 months warranty if you purchase just standard warranty KTS Protect-i
*
KTS Protect-i only provides extended warranty for 2nd year. If let say you purchase on 20 Feb 2023 and warranty expired on 19 Feb 2024, means they will extend the warranty from 20 Feb 2024 until 19 Feb 2025. This is my understanding.

Also remember to buy with Credit Card discount 10%. They have some offer now depends on credit card company.

Now my status turned to Awaiting Dispatch.. But no 'track item' button.
Where I can get the IMEI?
Where I can get the DHL Tracking? Will the tracking available immediately when turned to Awaiting dispatch status?

DHL tracking yes, u can see the status will be 'arrived at store' something like that. Samsung website showed nothing, it was still 'awaiting dispatch' while the phone was already at SES. I believe someone has mentioned that Samsung website status is unreliable, best to refer DHL tracking.
*
May I know how you obtained the DHL Tracking number? Is it shared in the samsung online order tracking or you get it from somewhere else?

I see a lot of ppl buy online and wait. I was thinking of walking in this weekend to a samsung shop and get a s23 ultra. Got difference ka?

Online purchase they easily accept trade-in rm600, with 2% rewards point (approximately rm80-90 for next purchase). Most important exclusive color.

But you need to wait wait wait ... no proper ETA delivery they can give to you. Prepare to wait for 4-6 weeks.

After updated 'Awaiting dispatch' usually you'll get your IMEI within the next 48 hours. Then your unit should be out for delivery after a day or two (Klang Valley area).
*
Thanks for your advice. What you said is exactly right. Now IMEI appeared in tracking after 48 hours.

Samsung online really freak me out... next time will avoid them.

Installed the Ringke Wing Film on 19th Feb 2023...

As of today, the sides has warped/buckled... may be due to heat (the glue is melting over time...) and abrasions from the casing(s)....

user posted image

Still got another fresh 1-piece in the box... will remove this 1-month old film after the buckled cannot be repaired anymore...as of now, can still repair by rubbing with thumb...

The "cursed" of "curved" screen.... LOL...if the screen is flat, for sure no warping or buckling of the film screen protector....
*
My god ... I just installed yesterday and it looks perfect. The film is so good and thin. like the phone is naked. And it is smooth as well just only fingerprint magnet.

I hope I will not run into problem like you.

For those who using Samsung brand screen protector, got this problem?

Using Samsung protector too for S23U, 1 tiny thread of dust under display during installation.

Only comment (I guess complaint idk? I only got Otterbox film SP to compare) is the Samsung film is thin, absolutely no knock protection, only scratches protection.

Previously using Otterbox film and can feel it is stiffer film (thicker cushion feel?) that probably gives slightly better protection.

Probably should go for glass protection but feels like liquid glue is not my stuff, like what if it accidentally goes inside crevices and stuff like that...
*
Samsung film got lift up like Ringke Film problem? Is it smooth? I am fine at least it protects from scratch. The victus 2 not easy to crack but easy to scratch.


I totally agree with you about UV tempered glass. It is so risky. I used it before, the liquid get into speaker..if donno to install. I saw some people let the phone shop people to do, the shop keeper also caused the same problem but said it is no problem and will dry off. I know he bluff ... because Samsung service center got cases void the warranty as they found UV liquid there. Also the UV tempered glass is too thick and make phone looks bulky and heavy.

The stock film won't have issue on any cases becoz the perimeters are way off from the frame.... the case won't touch the film... Ringke Wing has to wrap around the frame and thus any cases will touch the film...
user posted image

Summore, the stock film has stronger glue than Ringke Wing...

The installation is exactly same as Ringke Film. Good SP to try out.. is Samsung film feel smooth as good as Ringke film? I tried water drop on Ringke Film and it really good the drop not stayed.

This one I watched the video. Seems like quite messy when installed ... Is the surface smooth like oleophobic coating?

SmartDevil "Liquid Glass" UV-film replacing Ringe Dual Wing Film Screen Protector :

Pix : Corners

Pix : UVs
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


5-star Ratings :

1) Ease of Installation = 5* (Way easier than Ringke Wing. The film is not as stretchy as Ringke Wing. Additional step is UV curing).

2) Protection : 2* (Not for drop impact as it is merely EPU film).

3) Oleophobic coating = 4* (As silky smooth as branded tempered glass. Way better than Ringke Wing coating. Oily fingers/face is not an issue).

4) SPen glide-ness = 5* (SPen glides easier than Ringke Wing and may not feel like writing on actual paper. Hard press the SPen nib/tib may alter the EPU film surface slightly but it will heal after gentle rubbing with cloth or thumbs).

5) Casing friendly = 5* (As all four corners has about 2mm off-set from the aluminium armor frame, putting in and out any casings will not affect the film, unless, improper installation of the EPU film. Overall, the risk of film lifting is zero).

6) Fingerprint scanner sensitivity = 5* (Since this is an UV-glued curing, we must delete all previous fingerprint database and re-register a new database. "Light-quick" tapping the fingerprint scanner will unlock instantly. No need to press very hard to fingerprint unlock).

7) Image clarity = 5* (This is full clear non-matte, non-privacy, non-bluelight film. Colours are vibrant and text are sharp as usual).

Conclusion :
For the price of less than RM15/piece, it is awkwardly better than the Ringke Dual Wing EPU film screen protector. Any novice installer may find the installation process to be very str8 forward. The very good oleophobic coating is a pleasant experience for the SPen and oily fingers or face.

I used the email from Samsung where there is order number. For me so far I have managed to get the 3 months extended warranty in the system (where you can view the status of the extended warranty).

Hope this helps.

It depends, I rmb few years back I did purchase from them.

Despite many complaints on unsealed box, but I still got my device in sealed box.

Maybe confirm with them thru Chat first?
*
Correct. Check with them first. Now the samsung box sealed like apple iphone already. Means the retailer not supposed to unsealed for warranty check anymore. If they unseal it.. means something very wrong.
