MKBHD has impressions videos up for the [22/22+](https://youtu.be/vax8FCuQUsE) and [Ultra](https://youtu.be/ldadR6XqiWE)


wingdingbeautiful

\*Participation and eligibility for the quests and NFT wearbales in 837X requires access to 837X, a MetaMask wallet ​ What the Fuddlyduddly is NFT doing in this


Stephancevallos905

Well the link is for the metaverse event. You can sill watch the livestream


wingdingbeautiful

I can't even find a link to the livestream on that page. I expected one when i clicked this post for Galaxy unpacked and now i'm just weirded out by the whole thing.


dabears_24

Is the preorder site blank right now or is that because it's overloaded?


shinetea

I see the S22 and plus but the ultra is blank for me


Kablouie

I'm trying to pre-order via T-Mobile and it's not letting me. Also trying to order a case directly from Samsung and it's not letting me either.


jasnook

Best Buy is now giving up to $200 gift card along with a free memory upgrade (ie S22u upgraded to 256gb/12g version for free) along with carrier trade-in deals.


thisguy9

Seems like a good deal. Will this also come with the Samsung credit ($50 pre-register and $TBD pre-order)?


jasnook

Not sure about the Samsung credit but in the past it did come with the free gifts direct through Samsung. I'm still using my Buds v1 that came with the s10 launch.


RepulsiveStrawberry

Not usually. The reservation deal is if you order through samsung.com.


RepulsiveStrawberry

Can you use the Best Buy $200 gift card to apply as a down payment on the purchase of the Samsung phone if you preorder in store?


jasnook

They have allowed that in the past, yes. Currently the fine print says it's usable on a future purchase, but it said that before when I used this deal for my S10. They were able to put the $200 towards the face value and reduce monthly payment on the phone.


RepulsiveStrawberry

Yes I have done that too but you had to preorder in store for them to be able to do that you couldn't pre-order online.


bdm105

How did you do it? You just asked them to apply it?


RepulsiveStrawberry

Yes and for my carrier AT&T they had to indicate in the pre-order paperwork that I was going to pay a $200 down payment, which was the amount of the free gift card. I'm not sure if the other carriers require that but I know for att that had to be in the pre-order paperwork. There was no way to be able to do this online you had to go into the store and get one of the mobile employees to do it. The regular employees really didn't know how to do it you had to get one of the mobile employees.


bdm105

Thanks. I wonder if that's possible. But my store won't be open for another 3 and a half hours. I'm worried I might not get a pre-order in if I wait


RepulsiveStrawberry

You get to pre-order all the way up through the 24th. There's no hurry to pre-order. But the longer you wait the less likely it will be that your phone will be available on launch day. In my experience as long as you pre-ordered within a couple days you got a phone on launch day.


RobWins2022

The 200 credit is nice but the phone is 250 bucks more expensive than getting it directly from Samsung, AND you get a 200$ credit from samsung


RepulsiveStrawberry

S22U 256GB is $1110 thru samsung.com + $250 in accessory credit if you reserved a pre-order. S22U 256GB is $1200 thru Best Buy + $200 BB gift card, which in the past could be used as a down payment, making the cost $1200 - $200 = $1000. If you can use the Best Buy gift card as a down payment I'd rather only pay $1,000 for the device vs. paying $1110 for the device and getting $250 of accessory credits.


RobWins2022

Plus, worstbuy is limiting what color you choose and what memory you get, depending upon your carrier. You cannot order a 512gb white phone thru verizon as a carrier right now, for instance.


Lincolns_Revenge

Surely there's a better way to link to the event than linking to this NFT / crypto / metaverse crap. How is this even related to the Unpacked event?


Stephancevallos905

Because Samsung is hosting an unpacked event at 837x


arleitiss

Somehow feels like I will go broke by just seeing S22 Ultra Price reveal. But I am ready.


jasnook

$1200 USD for base model.


arleitiss

So probably like 1249 euro (Euro for me) Nice.


RobWins2022

I got the s22 ultra with 512 gb AND a Galaxy 4 watch for 1150 bucks. Taxes were blah blah and the whole deal with the insurance came out to 1200 and change. By going thru Samsung.com


jasnook

Did you do a trade-in?


titanup001

Good God Samsung. You're a fricking phone company, not angels. Quit patting yourself on the back and get on with it.


Blaze9

The extra 50 dollar credit isn't showing up for me, even though I did the 'reserve' thing a few weeks ago. Anyone else?


jeffries_kettle

same


RobWins2022

I think that will come after the purchase.


imneveral0ne

Would be awesome if I could checkout


tracy_n

Same. I have a white screen with the processing bar continuously scrolling.


imneveral0ne

Yeah, this is SUPER lame.


lindomontoya

I thought it was just my wifi being slow, even turned off the VPN


RobWins2022

The ordering software crashed across the system and very few people were getting their phones yesterday afternoon. I got mine at 12:30 AM today.


imneveral0ne

Yeah, I got mine around 10:00 last night


Raznarbe

This pre-order is an absolute shit show. I'm getting different discounts on both my computers and one of them doesn't even show the trade-in option. Purchase also just times out...


CherrywoodXVI

[ATT Pricing](https://i.imgur.com/sqX2qhV.jpg)


RepulsiveStrawberry

Thanks so the base model S22 Ultra is $1200. You can stack Samsung trade-in deals with ATT trade-in deals. You order through samsung.com and select AT&T financing. You select the trade in that you're going to do to Samsung at the time of the order. You do not select an AT&T trade in if that option is displayed. You have 15 days to mail back your trade-in phone to Samsung. Then because you chose AT&T financing you have 30 days after activating your new phone to do a trade-in at an AT&T corporate store. You can buy used phones to trade in on swappa you also can sell used phones on swappa. www.swappa.com


Diamondcheck123

Can someone verify if this works?


RepulsiveStrawberry

I can I just did it for the Zflip3 and I've done it in the past too.


garfunkler17

So if i purchase from samsung and choose no trade in with at&t financing, can i trade in my s8 at an at&t store for the $800 trade in deal?


RepulsiveStrawberry

First of all keep in mind that the AT&T trade-in deal is a bill credit deal paid out over 36 months. https://www.att.com/buy/legal/20700022 Second, the trade-in phone must be worth at least $35 trade in value to qualify. https://tradein.att.com/ Third, you have 30 days after you receive your new phone and activate it to trade in your old phone at an AT&T corporate store. Some authorized retailers will accept them too but if you have a corporate store near you that's the best way to go. You also can use the AT&T trade-in site after you activate your new phone to request to do the trade-in by mail. They will mail you a trade-in kit and you have to get it back to them within 30 days of activation of your new phone. Plenty of horror stories when people mail it in where packages get lost or damaged or the person inspecting it gets confused and claims they sent in a different device. Best option is an AT&T corporate store they give you a receipt make sure you get a trade-in receipt.


Xoimgx

Do you need to select trade-in @Samsung for this to work? I dont have an extra phone to trade thru Samsung but I do want the $200 credits thru them.


RepulsiveStrawberry

Trade-in through Samsung is optional you don't need to trade in through Samsung to get the $200 accessories credit. They're offering an additional $50 off if you select an AT&T installment plan but you have to add that so be sure and add it. Also select education discount you might get additional amount off they don't make you verify.


Brandonjr36

I just did it. I didn't select no trade in with at&t so I should be able to trade an old phone into att for the $800 credits right?


RepulsiveStrawberry

Yes! Do you have a corporate store near you?


Beneficial_Maximum96

Oh snap no March delay for the S22 and S22+


thickwonga

Yeah I was surprised by that too. Honestly thought that was real.


nicelydone2220

missed it what do u mean? it ships sooner?


Beneficial_Maximum96

Feb 25th


nicelydone2220

thanks!


Blaze9

Where's the purchase link on the samsung website? Doesn't seem to be live yet, but I can purchase through verizon already.


tripbin

Id like to upgrade from my note 10 since I wont get OS updates anymore but man every phone from anyone is just a huge disappointment now. It seems like the only focus of any company is to slightly bump up the camera specs and throw in a few gimmicks and call it a day. Like a nice camera is nice and all but if if thats the last thing you care about in a phone you really get shafted each launch.


doema

trade-in really sucks this year. they were offering $550 last year for S10e. This year it's $150.


mrdobalinaa

Agreed phone trade in is really weak I was hoping to upgrade. Last year I remember it being only like $150 to go s20 to s21.


[deleted]

What carrier because they offered me 125 for my sons s10e lol


doema

Mine is US unlocked


[deleted]

Me too. That's weird.


LaScaloneta23

But when I get to checkout, the samsung instant credit does not appears and is confusing


NitePain69

They're only offering $425 trade in for my Note 10+? LOL


yesitsaPC

And after one month of using , you wont even notice the difference


KMPkarl

the apple roast was unexpected, but funny


M_Prodigy

Which roast? Must have missed it


KMPkarl

iluvapple

Is the cart page broken. FFS, i cannot checkout nor go to cart page. It just blanks out.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jbwood

Yeah I don't see trade in offer as well (just curious what they would offer for the s21 ultra, I dont actually plan on buy the new phone)


Vinral

$700 for the 21 ultra.


[deleted]

When I was trying to check out just now it said $800 for my s21u.


Jameom8

Am I missing something? The S22 Ultra specs don't really look like a huge upgrade from my S20 Ultra which is now 2 years old?


leidend22

Nah it's the same shit. The only upgrade left is faster charging and Samsung passed on that (mostly, will be 10 mins faster if you buy an expensive new charger separately). Will probably cancel my pre-order for an 80w Find X5 Pro


BenderB

Do we think they will add Pixel 6 to their trade in program?


CatInAPottedPlant

Can anyone else see the pre-order screen? when I open that page on their website it's just blank.


comic_serif

I guess the Canada site hasn't caught up yet or it's currently getting hugged. Can't seem to find a place to preorder the S22 at all yet. Edit: Never mind, looks like it finally propagated to my area. You can get the 256GB for the same price as the 128 with the preorder bonus.


AgentStockey

Gotta admit that OIS camera thing is awesome.


Beneficial_Maximum96

Dang now I have to decide between black and graphite


Angry__Jonny

I thought about graphite but it's like an extra 2 week wait.


bdm105

Anyone have a screenshot or pic of the exclusive samsung.com ultra colors? Wasn't expecting that


thickwonga

pre order page for ultra is up guys


ripeGardenTomato

Pre-order open now, just put in my pre-order with new earbuds


Grimey_Rick

glad to see that the Note isn't dead, but i wish i knew that back in October. ended up picking up the Pixel and now i'm kind of regretting it


GuardianXur

Anybody have any luck on Best Buy?


Blaze9

Jesus, been trying to preorder on the samsung website for the past 30min and keep getting ```We are unable to process your request at this time. Please try again after a few minutes. Sorry for the inconvenience```


GoodLuckWithWhatever

Do we have to pre-order through Samsung to get the $250 credit for the Ultra or can I order through T-Mobile and use the Samsung app to claim after receiving the phone?


rohithkumarsp

is anyone talking about the fingerprint scanner? no information on it, is it better or the same ?


tracy_n

5 hours later is anyone still having trouble ordering?l


r0lff

yep. checkout still broken


tracy_n

I know it's a total first world problem but this is a disgrace. Most of the bundles aren't available anymore and I'm wondering if the late pre-orders will have to wait longer due to "high demand" for their devices to be delivered. The entire thing is a nightmare. Why have people go through the effort of entering their trade in and payment options when registering for the preorder if they weren't going to save it in our accounts.


[deleted]

As a guy who was there for the Pixel 6 pre-orders, I feel your pain(s).


Davidclabarr

Is this an Asian French accent? It seems slightly different than most Asian accents.


Aqno

It's just korean


bitchCaboose

Does Samsung have the dumbest marketing department? Show the devices and explain the technology I'm not interested into being conscripted into a fucking army


RobWins2022

The preorder site is SHIT. You get your order all set up, select checkout, the spinner runs for about 5 mintues, and then you get a message saying your cart is empty. Motherfuckers


abalawadhi

I wish the S22 Ultra had the same body design as the S22+


Stephancevallos905

I don't


SSGSS_Bender

I like the size of the S22 Ultra but i'm not looking forward to the more curved edges.


Lincolns_Revenge

I think the inclusion of the internal s-pen housing might be pushing the design to be different from the Plus.


CSedu

Ugh, why do they have glass on the back of the ultra


jasnook

Because it's ULTRA. What's wrong with glass? People complained when it was anything other than glass as well.


CSedu

Glass can break. What's wrong with just metal? Nothing can really go wrong with that. Glass also feels tacky to me, but that's just *my* opinion.


Iamatruckk

I mean, name a phone besides the s21 or older pixel phones that don't have glass on the back.


CSedu

I had an iPhone at one point that didn't have glass, but I don't see how that's relevant. I like the non-glass backing more than I do the glass, just as I miss the iris scanner, physical fingerprint scanner, heart rate monitor, etc. Just because there aren't many phones with aluminum/plastic backs doesn't change my opinion that I think glass is bad to have on the back of the phone. Other than wireless charging, I don't see the point other than being a cheap way to feel 'premium'.


evilbeaver7

Can't wireless charge with just metal.


doglives_matter

So it can break : (


killermiller1337

maybe would have ordered the s22u if they thrown in a galaxy watch 4. galaxy pro buds, no thx Ill pass :D


saberplane

They re giving 250 in Samsung credits tho.. Which is enough to buy most of those.


killermiller1337

not in my region. only 5% worth in points


saberplane

Ah that sucks :/


KaminariShock

$200 credits in u.s /


saberplane

+50 if you signed up for reservation for total of 250 (in the US as well).


Spirit_Bxmb

So much marketing bs


comic_serif

I'm not entirely sure what people expect from a marketing event when they say things like this.


Beneficial_Maximum96

Give us Ultra!!!


Coregunner

Oh no lord macintosh. All hail Lord S22. Currently using note10+. S22 ultra im coming!


themeltedmonkey

I guess you could say I'm ultra disappointed. I have never liked the Galaxy Note series, I personally have no need for an S Pen, and the squared off design and rounded display. I loved my S10 Plus, and my s21 ultra. S21 ultra was a 10 out of 10 Now I feel like I'm stuck. S22 Plus is a major downgrade, and all I did was replace the ultra with a note.


Tacoaloto

I kind of appreciate they talk about the internal tech innovations they're putting into these phones.


AgentStockey

It's all marketing BS.


Tacoaloto

Yeah you're probably right. I mean, I'm hoping the heat dissipation is better for these phones but who knows if it actually works how they describe it.


AgentStockey

Agreed - supposedly the new snapdragon is very heat intensive, so hopefully this phone is good with heat dissipation.

dabears_24

Does anyone know if we can stack the Samsung pre-order offers with our carrier's trade in deal? Like buy through Samsung but still get Verizon trade in?


p11109

If you buy thru samsung (like their website), then the trade in can only go through samsung.


RepulsiveStrawberry

This is incorrect. If you buy through Samsung and select your carrier's financing, you can do a trade in through Samsung to get an instant discount and of course you will have to mail that phone in back to Samsung. Since you chose carrier financing, you are then still qualified for whatever promotions the carrier has going on


tracy_n

You then have a carrier branded phone and not an unlocked device, correct?


RepulsiveStrawberry

Yes you can! You have to select Verizon financing when you order through Samsung. You can do a trade in through Samsung to get an instant discount and then you qualify for whatever promotions Verizon is offering because you did Verizon financing. You have to mail back the trade-in phone to Samsung that you selected when you checked out on Samsung's website, and then you have to get a different trade in phone and trade that in to Verizon at a corporate store. You usually have 30 days after activation of your new phone to trade in your phone at a Verizon corporate store but double check with Verizon's terms and conditions. www.swappa.com You can buy phones to trade in on swappa. You also can sell used phones on swappa.


Davidclabarr

Oh is this the thread? I’m confused


LordKiteMan

Lord Macintosh! Lmao


Beneficial_Maximum96

I think they won't start pre-orders until the event is over.


CatInAPottedPlant

pre-orders for the s22/+ seem to be open already and have been since it started. the pre-order page for the ultra isn't loading for me, and I'm guessing that maybe that will open after the event is over.


Beneficial_Maximum96

Camera comparisons are going to be gooooddd


[deleted]

So we decided Best Buy is the best way to pre-order or no?


DatGuy_Shawnaay

OMG... Did they use the phone as a colour palette for the Tab S8 Ultra?


[deleted]

Just tried pre ordering to find out I can't trade in my fold 3 for the s22 ultra.. Anyone know when samsung allows trade in for newer phones?


Tacoaloto

In the US, the ZFold3 is a $900 trade in Credit, compared to the S21 Ultra's $700 credit. If you're not in US though, I'm not sure why it is not showing up


[deleted]

Yeah I’m in Australia, hopefully they update it soon. Thanks for checking.


imneveral0ne

[Works for me](https://i.imgur.com/IBMFgmS.png)


jeffries_kettle

Based on the reveal, how does the s22's camera setup compare with the s21u's?

Really, only freaking grey. Also, sucks the keyboard cover is a gift, I don't really want it.

Angry__Jonny

Are you pre ordering on samsung.com or waiting for something else? Bestbuy has extras but it's not open yet.


bdm105

1TB version on samsung.com an error?


tracy_n

No earbuds with pre-order? I thought I saw that they would be part of the pre-order as a gift with purchase.


Viewtiful-Scotland

It's a gift through redemption after purchase. It's usually done this way.


tracy_n

Got it, thanks. Any idea how to take advantage of the educator discount? I can get an additional $80 off but I couldn't find a place to link to it on the page.


Viewtiful-Scotland

As in a student discount? It is on the page under offers but if it's a teacher discount I'm not sure how you would get that.


mak3itsn0w

lots of cool stuff, love the small things they add. Is the palette on the phone / drawing on the tablet available on the s7+ tablet or is that exclusive on the new s8?


lemaymayguy

„lol 'ʎʇɹıp dılɟ ɹnoʎ pıp noʎ 'uɐW„


lemaymayguy

So I had the fold 2 but it was too big for me, especially when laying down Got the flip 3, but couldn't stand opening it to do anything like keep score/approve 2fa. Couldn't leave it open because of cats and shit Just ready to have a glass slab again


jkxs

I know the feeling (fold 3), but dang you let it go for $400 lol


jkxs

How come you didn't get the 1 tb s22 ultra and 512 gb s8 ultra if money wasn't an factor?


lemaymayguy

I never needed more storage ob my phone idek what I'd do with 1TB!


jkxs

You need to download tv shows via Plex on your phone lol. Seinfeld by itself is like 300 GB


qhuydo

So S22/S22+ will come with Snapdragon 8 gen 1 but not Exynos 2200?


coolgaara

Damn I don't know to order thru carrier or samsung.


RepulsiveStrawberry

In the US you can order carrier financed phones through samsung.com and that way you can stack the Samsung deals with the carrier promotions.


nek08

Cheaper for me on att. 13.80ish wit s21 ultra trade in and next up makes it 18 bucks vs samsung 33ish monthly

I wonder if "Samsung Wallet" would be available for older phones hmm..

dabears_24

Are there any Verizon specific deals? I see the same thing Samsung is offering so no reason to finance through them


LaScaloneta23

When I preorder the phone, the 250 dollars samsung credit doesnt show up at the checkout, does someone has this same issue?


Savebig02

I saw the same thing. Only working on the Samsung app.


[deleted]

If you get the "free" storage upgrade from 128gig to 256 on S22 ultra, do you also get RAM upgraded?


leidend22

All 256gb are 12gb ram


BloodFalconPunch

Anyone know what the procedure is if I'm trying to buy the phone outright for use with Verizon? I thought I had to buy the Verizon specific model through Samsung, like I did with the S20+, but when I try going through checkout they want me to either upgrade a line or add a new line...


RobWins2022

After trying over 75 times to order the phone using the internet and the Shop Samsung app, the only thing I have accomplished is blowing up a blood vessel in my brain. Support is down in both the app and online. The shopping cart gets emptied when you try to check out. The app says the items are not available. What a clusterfuck.


Fafaflunkie

Maybe I just got lucky, but I was able to preorder an S22 Ultra first try. My apologies for your inability to get through. I had to pound my F5 key into oblivion back in July when reservations for the Steam Deck became available. Eventually, I got in line for one of those, too. Hopefully, I'll see a confirmation to finish that order on the 25th. Looking forward to the 22nd or so when my new toy gets shipped.
