Placed order on 25th Feb through EPP for S23U 256GB Cream.

Today system updated with IMEI provided, expect to receive the device latest by next week.
Once I get the phone, I'll report whether this 21Feb batch of S23U having the same issue about the bottom right screen imperfections or not.

I was just contacted by Instacash via email and SMS on "Schedule your Samsung Trade-in Device Pick-Up" (finally. lol. after using the phone since late Feb). But when i clicked on the webpage via the email, it wont let me put in any date (seems blank) and choosing any slots (either 9am - 1pm or 1pm to 5pm) pun cant 'proceed'. Anyone tried it?

I also received it. I can select date and also time.
But problem is I haven't receive my phone, so how to trade in the old phone doh.gif

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.

Guys, may I know that system file took 177gb is it normal? Or wondering where can I find it?
*
You are transferring data from old to new phone?
The 177gb is the combination of system and apps as you can see that the Apps there showing exclamation mark which it not able identify it.
You might try to click on the exclamation of the Apps and see.

Today received my S23U with free 35W charger. Tested that the 35W charger can charge from 42% to 90% in 30mins. Before 60%, charging rate is 26W, 61%-70% is 15W, then 70%-90% is 20W, after 90% only 8-13W.

48 hours has passed, bubble and wrinkles not seem to disappear.. Gonna give it few more days before i tear it off

My Mi10 is using the SmartDevil hydrogel sp, overnight then bubbles gone.
Not sure how is your bubble looks like, but I would say at most 48hrs, if still not disappear then you have to reapply already.
Are you sure is just bubble? Possible a tiny dust inside the bubble?

Go back and ask for compensation for my repair bill, and fill my dissatisfaction. Haha.. Anyhow, I'm not asking them to compensate me for the glue-tempered glass (which cost me RM130). Scare already. better without any screen protectors. My Spigen case will do its job of protecting the glass. 

Yes salute The Mines Samsung Service Centre and dissatisfied with Pavalion ones. They (Pavilion) did not diagnose my phone at all.

Which Pavillion is this? KL or BJ?

question on the chargers, anyone has this can help answer?

i got the super fast wireless charger duo + combined with the 45W usb c pd charger, but then charging wirelessly, my phone only show Fast Wireless Charging mode.

When i unplug the usb c cable and plug in directly into the phone, the phone shows Super Fast Charging.

So I am thinking did i get cheated by this wireless charger that its not a Super Fast Wireless Charger Duo  but more like a Fast Wireless Charger Duo?
*
Hi, do you mind to help test what's the charging speed of the wireless charger duo? Install Ampere apps and monitor the power.
I tested with a XiaoMi 20W wireless charger stand, my S23U only managed to charge at around 5-6W.

Hmmm, just to follow up with the issue that I am facing previously. Prolink charger with SFC2.0 with Baseus 100w cables.

I recently bought another mcdodo 100w cable, it seems to be the same. That charging speeds seem to throttle down after few minutes, I've monitored, first few mins it's able to charge with 30w+ after that it'll drop off to below 13w making it charge pretty slow, slower than those shown in YouTube videos.

So last night i monitored using Accubattery for charging speeds and battery temps. First few minutes battery temps were at 34-35c, after that it will increase to 37, once it hits 37.4-37.8, charging speeds gets throttled down to 13w below.

Anyone able to give it a test?
It will increase back to 37W or 25W from 15W after few minutes.

just wondering, how are you guys and your charging habit?

Sometimes my phone 30-40%, I charge for awhile up to 70%, etc and go out. In my car, have a wireless car charger/holder which also charges the phone.

This habit will cause battery deterioration right? Then again, I saw video the battery is easily replaceable.. hmmm
*
Your charging habit same as mine.
Previously using Xiaomi Mi10 with 30W wired charger and 20W car wireless charger. After 3 years, battery life seem still same, didn't notice any serious battery deterioration.
So now using S23U, I still maintain the same behavior, but S23U charging speed really a lot slower than Mi10, and the charging heat is also a lot lower.
For S23U, I set routine for charging till 95%, then turn on the battery charging protect so it will stop charging when I using the wireless charging in car.
When battery level lower than 85%, then turn off the battery charging protection again.
Last time using Mi10, do not have this stop charging setting, so when stuck in traffic jam or travelling 3-4hrs, my phone will be always 100% on wireless charging. Till now battery still OK.

my s23+ just arrived today and guess what?

android auto isnt working using wired cable. I got 2 other samsung phones (s20fe and s20fe 5g) and both of them conected fine using the wire.

Im going to try a different cable tomorrow.... Anyone else faces the same issue?
Its not fun to know your brand new device already shipped with issues. Never fix or patch since its launch months ago.
*
Mine no issue using 3rd party cable.
You might need to check is there any update for the android auto.

But the LTE can be disable right? I'm also interested in the watch 6 LTE version.
Just worry about the battery life if the LTE cannot be turn off.

Same situation as you.
Initially plan to get S24+ for my wife birthday gift since her Huawei Mate 30 pro is aging.
Now is either get S23+ or wait for review about s24+ Exynos
