Design wise is 99% identical to s22.

From the image, can see the button position.

Upgrading from s22 to s23 definitely not worthy, unless you are hardcore fans.
*
It is not about hardcore fans.
Mostly it is about what come with S23 that better than S22. Firstly it SD 8 Gen 2 from TSMC is much much better than S22 SD 8 Gen 1 in that come from samsung. If SD 8+ Gen 1 like both Flip4 and Fold4 then ok lar just a bit upgrade. My Flip4 which have way smaller battery can tahan nearly the same with S22 Ultra.

Not counting it come with bigger and hopefully better camera performance. Then i heard it will come with less curve screen which if true mean much easier and cheaper to put tempered glass.

Planning to preorder S23 . Just need a case and nothing else.

What is the best accessory that I can resell for a good price ?
*
Good price for reselling accessories? None..!
Samsung accessories price is bloated high. Even its smart watch or earbuds can only get 50% less if you try to resell it in brand new in box condition.. lol laugh.gif

Did we really need pasang screen protector and case if has 2yrs samsung care+ coverage?
Anyone can give advise.
*
Care+ covered liquid damage or screen break. Wear and tear not covered. Screen and the phone exterior bound to have micro scratches sooner or later. Most ppl like to use casing and screen protector to avoid this issue.

what if we reject the revised trade in price once they have check thru the phone condition, the RM600 trade in rebate still entitled?
*
You can reject the revised trade in price when they come to pickup and check your old phone.

The RM600 already given thru rebate. Samsung wont ask you to top up or return the rebate.

Where to get it? In case I needed one
*
At the moment only from its official website.
For S23U cost USD39.99 for 2pcs tempered glass per one set. But the shipping going to cost around USD30. So all together it cost around USD70 to ship it to Msia. laugh.gif

https://www.whitestonedome.com/collections/...dispersion-tech

Better still if can pool together buy a few set to minimize the shipping cost.

Serious can do like this? Is like samsung give you rebate rm600 for nothing ..?
*
I have done it twice before. Not purposely lar. Once because the old phone died before the pickup. Another time my relative want the old phone after i doing trade in. Both times okay ajer no complaint from either samsung or instacash

Mind you that samsung got huge profit when you buy their high price flagship. That's why they can reduce the price after only a few months of released.
I hate when they doing this as it will reduce your phone value if you want to resell that said high price flagship phone. Your RM5k phone will only valued around RM2.6k after a year.. LOL laugh.gif

Bulk buy can reduce shipping cost.

Any way to bypass this instaapp and just deal directly with samsung? I don't like item 1 and 3. I thought it will be a fast process just hand over the phone to them but no, you are not even supposed to reset your phone till they come??? Mean only can reset the phone when they are at your house? That going to be an awkward 5 to 10 minutes..
*
Huhh.. why need 5 minutes to reset phone? hmm.gif
I can factory reset samsung phone less than 20 sec.

For flat screen S23r and S23+, any film/tempered glass will do... The fingerprint scanner will work no matter how bad the workmanship is...

Only the Note23 curved screen that needs proper workmanship during installation, especially, the UV glue curing... after cured, either the fingerprint scanner not sensitive or the UV glue will seep into the earpiece, SPen hole, bottom speakers and microphone holes.... if worried about those risk, just get EPU film or totally naked to be the tikus putih of Corning Gorilla Victus 2 .....

*
Most cheapo tempered glass not suitable with curve screen. If still want to use tempered glass on S23U buy a quality one. It will come with a proper rig complete with all the necessary UV, glue, sponges and tapes to avoid any glue spillage.

If you have any of the above problem means either you use a low quality tempered glass or not follow the installation steps properly. ..LOL laugh.gif
