Eagerly waiting for S22U/S22+. Will be looking to pre-order from corporate website with +ve news of SD version, 4 major android version is confirmed. Just waiting for prices & offers. Will be upgrading from OP7T, so it should be big upgrade. Looking at the specs s22+ can be dark horse this year.

With SD version being released in more areas, there's high probability of good custom ROM scene.

Has anyone tried Samsung exchange program ? Any experience to share ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Sukrith:
From what i know, SD versions of Samsung devices have been locked down since the beginning with all the custom rom things happening for the Exynos.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
That's only with US version, not CH & Hongkong so it will be interesting to know which version of SD will be launced in india.

Model number ending with '0' shoule be rootable but U won't. e.g. 'S9080' can be rooted "S908U" can't.

exynos model usually ended with "B" (in case 5G ) e.g "S908B"
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
"Note" worthy, with minimal improvements,

For S21U users,

This isn't gonna be an upgrade.

It'll be a "next version released, so buying it" thingy.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] fkofilee:
Do we think we will have issues with BL unlock disabling cameras?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
It shouldn't. Still need to know which version they are releasing in India.

Camera restriction they have applied on Fold3 but later with oneui 4.0 no more issue, so I don't think they will implement again
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Why pre-book offer is so useless this time around with a flagship? Is it like "Hey, we are giving you Snadragon this time around, not those hard to convince inhouse Exynos", so stay happy with a smart tag?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sagarb:
I think they will mention bank and other offers when they start taking pre-order this is just prereserve
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] enigmaamit:
I don't think the actual cashback and accessory discount offers will be displayed till the price has been announced and deals struck with banks (most probably HDFC again).
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Isn’t it odd that India still doesn’t have pricing or preorder date or retail launch announced even 24 hours past the global launch? Been buying every S flagship day 1 preorders and I can recall all the way back to 7 years when we started getting pricing and preorder info immediately. Anyone knows if pre-reserve can be clubbed with preorder when it opens up later? Last year I didn’t bother with pre reserve but did preorder directly from the Samsung India website for the ultra.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
They have done it before too, pre-reserve is just there way of keeping the hype active. Pre-reserve will club with Pre-order as usual. There partner is going to be HDFC or ICICI only as they are with most bankable users who have proven record of buying Samsung Devices.

Yet we don't get the price level of US. There they are giving 512gb for price of 256gb & 256gb for 128gb. We wont have 128gb & base will be 256gb. Pricing may start 1L+ uptil 1.2L
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Yeah not worried about price. And 256 is what I anyways have on the 21 ultra so will go for 256 again. But the nation wants to know when the pre orders begin? :D
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
anytime before 21st feb
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Dpk1:
This reviewer briefly mentions the S22 ultra (SD 8 Gen 1) battery backup to be worse than that of S21 ultra exynos.

P.S - Maybe Samsung need to tweak the firmware for new chipsets.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
There is cashback of INR 10000 on purchase of Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra using HDFC Bank cards.

What allergy Samsung had with S22 Ultra in declaring?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Probably shortage. Shortage not be causes of actually over demand but shortage of chips affecting production
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
I swear to god I’ll cancel the two ultra preorders if Samsung continues to call both me and the wife multiple times daily. Am fed up with the same scripted “we have organised a special event because you are a royal customer. We will have explosive offers during the event where our hosts break the rules”

🤬🤬🤬🤬

It’s like the drones don’t even listen to us telling them to stop because we know the drill. They keep on blabbering until the script runs out.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
Samsung support has been fed 4-5 sentences & they repeat these on each occasion

Thankfully they did not call me even once but I did the reverse by asking them to "break the rules" again & again :LOL::ROFLMAO:
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Dude I’m like on the brink of cancelling. Call after call every single day including the weekend. It’s not even funny how much they are tying to hype it up artificially.

Worst is one actually asked me “So sir if you don’t mind me asking, are you going to preorder?”

Nahi bc I pre-reserved out of depression that Katrina hooked up with Vicky.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Kidney touching story.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
Tab S8 Ultra live event was eyewash. S8 Ultra was sold out in seconds!

Looks it is mere hype. Same may be fate of S22 Live event.

They removed wifi variant and want people to buy only LTE!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] lycan_codex:
i think during tomorrow's pre-booking event, they might share bank offers like they did today. Looks like the pre-reserve thing from samsung is different from what retail stores are providing. there seems to be a disconnect. One of the Samsung retail store from Bangalore has no information on tomorrow's event or additional pre-booking offers for S22.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Here local seller saying they are also hearing about 10K bank offers but not informed officially anything. Bank offer only have benefit who want to buy with finance otherwise exchange offer (8K) usually local seller passing to end users without even actually exchange (they just send one code from your S22 from for exchange offer, rest of thing they do manage).
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] adie95:
The bank cashback & keyboard cover for the S8 tablets is there throughout the pre-book period (till March 11) and not just today. The only extra offer today is instead of bank offer, get the Buds Pro. The live event only had 200 viewing on Youtube, so no idea how they sold out so soon! 😂

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
big bluff by samsung

as I said it's mere hype no substance

these offers were announced to last till 10th March then what was so great about live event

I guess only to create budge which overtly accent tuned lady spoiled already

disappointed 😞
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
Got my VIP pass code from some

user ID from savex domain which is samsung serving arm and not from Samsung generic id.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Still nothing for me or for the wife
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sasha8200:
I prebooked using byod got VIP pass on my corporate email.

Invite for tomorrow event is also mentioned

There is an exclusive benefit for our customers who pre-book during the event starting 6PM, 22nd Feb. (Offer ends at 11:59PM on 22nd Feb)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sasha8200:
Check Junk.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Done. Nothing 😪
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
you got calls! :p

on a serious note, call their cc and ask to expedite. It shall come by tomorrow morning maximum.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sasha8200:
You did online or from dealer.

I have got mail for my online prereserve. Nothing for offline.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
I too prebooked using byod but gave personal email for delivery hence received on that.

Now doubt here is like S8 Tab Ultra went oos so soon, S22U too might not be seen for long as looks like they keep limited units for sale.

Also byod portal isn't real-time as normal portal and even showing smart tag as pre-reserve gift.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Congrats. How's the official Samsung silicone case? Still a dust magnet like previous years?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
I just cleaned it and it collected dust immediately. No difference to previous silicone cases.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Dpk1:
Absolutely. But that feel in hand is awesome!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
Samsung is male chauvinist. They gave 44mm GW4 which anyhow looks big for women wrist. Straps of this watch are sham! For 27k worth watch such straps!! These can't fit women wrist.

@twisted_mind
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
You're doing it wrong. Milanese loop is the way to go. Silicone toh implants mein bhi hota hai.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] --xplora--:
Mixed use would say 50 - 50 time wise, overnight its usually on wifi. Though I dont see much of a difference on battery drain between mobile and wifi, unlike older phones. Battery will take a few days to learn and improve.

Just an update, my Watch 4 has been delivered today. Like everyone else termed it, i too got a Garam Jalebi:p (Mfg dt 04/03/2022). All shipments complete. S22 Ultra family complete.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
it's time for vasamsungtomy
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
The amount of money spent already to update the samsung family, that should be the way to go.:D
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
Also i was waiting for the samsung Membership no to register, seems like some coder really f***ed it up. They forgot to replace the standrd text with data in messaging system.

"Colours. Fun. And whole lotta rewards are coming your way! This Holi, join the Samsung Smart Club. Simply register at {#var#} with membership no. {#var#}. FYI, you can sign up only till {#var#} date, so don't miss out! TnC. - Samsung"

What kind of puzzle is this.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
Do they send an email as well with Smartclub membership no?

My invoice doesn't contain the membership no.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
Invoice doesn't have it now, It won't come by email as Smart Club is mobile number linked

Smart Cafe Smart Club registration is quicker

For Online purchases, it takes 72 hours post delivery

Mine was showing Mobile no registered till now, Now it is asking to enroll but don't have membership no.

Looks like have to wait for SMS

Phone is definitely settling down. My existence depends on a reminders app and for the first few days every reminder used to wake up the phone sometimes 30-40 mins late. All of a sudden since yesterday reminders are firing correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
My message says Smartclub membership has been upgraded to Elite. but the follow up message doesn't have membership no (because of tech issues). Also today I received my final piece from order so I assumed since the order is moved to closed status in their system it triggered their internal system which sends the membership no.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
An Update on Samsung Smartclub membership no

Just had a call with Samsung customer care (1800407267864), Provided them with the Order ID and she was able to give me my membership no. I used that to first do new enrolment, once it was successful, I linked it to my account. Voila, and all of it was completed with in 5 min.

I went from a pissed customer to a satisfied customer in 5 min. That's a record!

Attached screenshot of points history, seems like the purchase points will credited after return period (14 days).

Also they had a quick survey after enrollment, which will give extra 250 points (worth 250 Rs). did that too. got the points credited for that.

@anil84 and @twisted_mind
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
I'm set bro ever since @anil84 shared the login process via Samsung ID. I'm still pissed the smart cafe had lied to me for so many years that one can only get points by buying from a smart cafe 😂
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
You are damn lucky. 1800407267864 is Samsung product helpline & ALWAYS they ask to call on 180030013232 for ANY smart club queries! They don't entertain at all.

Nevertheless I got my membership number via later. Still couldn't enroll as it takes time to update in their systems.

My membership no. got generated yesterday for device delivered on 14th March still I am getting below error to which executive told to wait.

To Enroll Min. Purchase should be 15K
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
Not sure if i remember correctly. But you brought 2 phones correct? If so, Did you use same mobile no for both purchases. As you said earlier the membership no is tied to phone no.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
Once bitten Twice shy...2 mobiles 2 numbers 2 people 2 states hum 2 hamare 2 happy holi 2 u 2

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ragavbpl:
Folks, my phone was delivered on 9th March, still no message from Samsung on smart club enrolment number. Called smart club customer care they said send an email as we are not able to find membership no with mobile or order ID.

Any other advice on how can I get my enrolment number successfully from samsung?

P.S. - I bought my phone online using samsung eshop, prereserved, prebooked on 22 feb itself.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Bro have you tried logging in with your Samsung ID on the smart-club site? I was able to and then link smart-club to my ID. Then it shows the membership ID
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
Did all the shipments arrive. Because once phone, smartwatch and tag(if offer user), are delivered and that is updated in Samsungs website, then the Membership no gets auto generated.

Happened the same with me. I got the watch delivered today and Membership no was generated.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ragavbpl:
No bro, doesn't work for me. Keeps saying no record found!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ragavbpl:
I got all deliveries on 9th(Phone), 12th(Smartag) and 14th(Watch) March.. still haven't got any sms/email/call from samsung on membership no.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] lycan_codex:

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Been out of the game in terms of transferring videos from the pc to the phone thanks to plex and OTT streaming.

What do yall use these days to wirelessly transfer stuff from pc to phone? I was a long time airdroid user until they went full ad-retard and then Airmore for some years until OTT took off. Aaj Kal kya garam hai?

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
Been checking it daily thrice, thanks for heads up. Got the update.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] naieem_ilu:
Yup 😃
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
Seems like the email is way to go here if Samsung call center guys are not able to find it. For me i just gave order ID and they were able to pull the membership no. I know you already answered it, but the order status in website, does that show delivered to both phone and watch?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
Just quick question, my watch had Bands installed by default and in the packaging content where charger is provided, it seems like there is empty small box for 1 set of Bands.

Is that supposed to be just an empty place holder or am i missing extra set of watch bands from the package.

Or is that just a Samsung way of packaging things.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] cool.darshak:
now phone will feel as fast as tesla ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Empty. Unlike Apple Samsung doesn't give a smaller extra band sadly.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
Seeing that empty package, made me think i got shortchanged.

Thanks for the info.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ragavbpl:
Yes it does show as delivered for both phone and watch on samsung website. I have sent an email and got a response - "We have escalated it" in the morning, since then no further update. Will see how it goes with this email support thing and will keep everyone updated.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ragavbpl:
Did you try wireless dex? It does allow moving files to and from computer

Transfer your files with Samsung DeX for PC

If you need to move a bunch of files from your phone to your PC, just use Samsung DeX. It lets you transfer files between your devices whenever you need to.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Just realised Plex actually has a download option built in to save directly on the phone. That's perfect for me in a pinch 😅
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Haha yeah even I fell for it. Looked through the box a couple of times hoping for a 2nd strap set. 😁
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
First Impressions : Night camera isn't great

Nothing exceptional

Even doesn't bring basic lighting

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sasha8200:
Has anyone tried samsung s22U leather case?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sagarb:
true also heats if you use few min camera.it throttles lot if you do intensive task like gaming ,doing multi apps opening using dex so paid 1l for use phone like 10k phone for just open youtube, instagram,few clicks that all it can do.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sasha8200:
I used for scanning 8 pages camera got heat up. Never had such experience with S21U
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Accha toh hai night mode. Have you applied some kind of film on the camera lenses? Someone here had done 🤔
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Royal King:
Hey guys, anyone found a good tempered glass that actually works?

If not a tempered, then a decent scratch guard? I can't find any good ones on Amazon.

Corporate buyers, did you receive your ADLD insurance details? Does it need to be activated seperately?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] --xplora--:
Contrary to few experiences here, the AI on cameras of S22U is excellent.

Few initial pictures I had taken, even I was disappointed on the first day as in it was "nothing special" good but nothing great. But then..

I took a few pictures a while back of kids playing in a small pool for Holi. Just point and shoot, no pro settings etc. Clean isolation of multiple bubbles and water droplets in the air apart from usual bokeh etc. unless you are on really high shutter speed a very Fast lens and pumped up ISO this is not possible, only way this makes sense apart from the camera module itself is that the AI is doing its job well.

I even took a few indoor night pictures again just point and shoot, they are pretty good actually. Dont want to post pictures here as they are of people and not objects, but the result is quite impressive.

I think the pictures improve a great deal when it comes to humans rather than just objects or plain scenes.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kkapoorr:
Not yet. But I may reach out next week to Samsung. Let's see till then.

Also, is call recording not allowed on this phone? The option is usually greyed out for me. I am not able to record calls with a normal 10 digit mobile number but was able to record one with a 1800 call centre number once the IVR finished. Strange.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] amit_sen:
@zaydenQ not yet. Have received timesprime membership, even though it was not listed at the time.

Happy Holi to all..
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] zaydenQ:
Oh okay. Did you receive the watch?

Happy Holi everyone. This has been a very fun thread. Long may it continue!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Hi Samsung

WTF. Why spam me with ads for the same phone which I'm using? Have already bought 2. You want me to buy one for the maid too kya? 🤦
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] lycan_codex:
I think you may have accedentally opted for marketing push from one of the Samsung native apps. They are sneaky in the way they tick the select checkbox for marketing materials from galaxy apps Store or samsung themes section. Thankfully I haven't seen this on this phone till now. Will confirm if it pops up for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
As you can notice the strap that comes with the watch does not go directly down from near the lugs forcefully making it unnecessarily wide. So even for an average male wrist it's a stupid design.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Yeah I noticed the push setting for marketing was on. Set it to Off now. Crazy 😅
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] cool.darshak:
Looks like after new update adaptive refresh rate is broken, stays on 120 hz only
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Thanks. Hope this is fixed soon or else will cause needless battery drain.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Wow that's weird. Mine stayed stuck on 120 no matter what. Even on idle. Even on the lockscreen it refuses to budge.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sagarb:
same it's dropping to 24 on home screen
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] praveen6585:
Could it be some app running in the background which is making the system think that it needs to be at 120?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Lemme try restarting

Update : No go. Still as stuck to 120 as sunny Leone is to her husband 😔
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Uninstall Nova launcher and check.

Check if RR drops if you search anything in the playstore search bar.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] amit_sen:
Which settings ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] amit_sen:
Not yet. Samsung CC contacted me & told that my imei is activated by wifi device and not sim !! They will provide me with coupon code and link to buy it. They asked for 3 working days.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Whoa how did you catch that?

I switched back to one UI launcher. Still no luck 😧
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
I long pressed on the notification > settings > marketing
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
that screenshot..

When you search anything in searchbar in playstore , the rr still shows 120 simultaneously ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
