The current best offer is from Samsung website offering RM4899 after trade in and ROI code right?

Also can we reject the trade in later on?

I Saw so many sifus here getting cheaper than this sad.gif

The combo of UGreen 100W charger and Prolink 100W 5A e-Marker digital display cable:

Don't buy UGreen charger as it overheats easily....

Damn, I just gotten one for rm133 during lazada sale. Heard great reviews about it and since it was 100w, automatically assume it supported most if not all the charging protocols.

BTW it seems like the ROI code doesn't work anymore for Samsung website, kinda tempted to put an order for it

Anyone got extra unused RM200 ROI (claimed from redemption portal) will not be used and can share with me? I plan to place order but found my ROI RM200 that I claimed earlier no longer working.
*
From what I know the redemption period for that ended on 23rd Feb .

They trying to sell for those walk in first. Your money spent get locked. They not really care.

Yes but walkin don't have the same promotion as their online store. I asked SES, they do not have the confirmed Rm600 trade in program but do come with galaxy watch 5.

no... they forecast everyone to purchase the ultra version. so ultra is the priority

What's the estimated wait time for the Ultra? So far the complains seem to be only from those who ordered the normal and plus version.

All Samsung accessories are by BBS authorized distributor. This one isn't so most probably fake.

Are there any alternatives for tempered glass? Last I know it's a pain in the butt to get any TG for Samsung flagships due to its ultrasonic FP.

yes. Frustrated. You order 512G? I believe they put the note there .... delivery takes 3-4 weeks time. Right?
I just placed order on 15th March.. I bought 256G. I thought no need to wait because 256G not famous ... but after 4-5 days. No status updated at all.

Even "Order placed" status also not updated.

Due to the wait I straight got from Shopee seller instead at RM5180 with Watch 5. If calculate I'm actually paying slightly more to get it faster , am glad to receive it probably tomorrow after ordering it Friday though.

I see. RM5180 with s23u 256GB. Right?

Even now if we walk in to Harvey Norman, Urban Republic, SenQ, they have ready stock to give.

The only thing I dont like Shopee or Lazada is ... some device is opened before delivered to you. Last time I bought one the phone got scratched. I found the seller opened it ... That's what I dont want. But if you buy from trust seller. Then should be fine.

Which seller you bought it from?
*
Your concern is valid which I truly understand as well. The seller open it is probably due to warranty activation or their own dealer incentive claim which is understandable , hope they do not scratch the phone though.

Bought it here Shopee

Thanks for sharing. Wish all going well for your phone.

You see, they even provide In-store pickup. I believe they are reliable seller. If I am in KL, sure I will go for it as well.

after 10% discount, Can get rm4.5k without watch. Really good deal!

Just I was too bad luck that time smile.gif. I believe only very small tiny percent will have such problem.
*
Unfortunately 10% is capped at RM120, I just checked the page one more time , at the time of sharing to you it was still RM5299 with watch , they increased it to RM5399 already.

S23u just met a really contender.oppo x6 pro.

That zoom and bokeh tho.it is much better.
luckily the front camera and video recording worse than samsung.
*
Picture for the zoom is impressive and sharper. However during video recording somehow it loses out a lot to S23u

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.

The unsealing and you should see a few IMEI stickers gone is probably due to their dealers incentive program , they have to take the stickers if not no incentive to get.

Just check everything , if phone is ok and original then it's fine already.

Which charger would you guys pick between Aukey Omnia 90w and prolink 100w?

Getting rid of the 100w ugreen as it doesn't support sfc 2.0

Just buy the Samsung 45W charger set which also comes with the 5A cable. It supports SFC 2.0 and it is available in most of Samsung (SES) shop
*
Samsung 45w charger seems overpriced for what it is though. I also have my own cables and I need at least 2 ports that supports fast charging.
