To be honest I haven't used it much other than transferring my data from old phone and using it's camera for a while. But tomorrow I'll be giving up my old phone in exchange and shifting to S22U full time. So far I've observed that the phone does get hot (thanks to SD8G1) and also battery drainage is faster than I would've liked

Read somwhere on twitter, people started receiving tracking details for smart tag!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
My IMEI number is by heart now...so many times I have input it

Samsung site is now showing :

Order by 11 AM and get Same day delivery.

*Priority Delivery is subject to Delivery PINCODE and Stock Availability. Priority Delivery is not available for instant exchange orders and COD & RTGS/NEFT Payment mode.The exact delivery date will be displayed per your delivery pincode before placing your order
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Whoa that's amazing 😱
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
First full day with Sim inserted. Not so impressed with battery. Down to 67% with just 3h 6m SOT. Dunno why but I expected better 😅
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ragavbpl:
Hey Folks,

Back again, was busy with setting up my phone and enjoying it since last 2 days!! Enjoying the phone so far, specially screen is gorgeous and overall smoothness is great (coming from note 9)

Apart from that today I received 2 messages from savex/samsung and bluedart with tracking numbers.

First is from savex/samsung shop is for the Watch 4 and it is again coming via Delhivery(🤦‍♂️ ) from Faridabad/Delhi and is showing estimated delivery as 14th March.

Another Tracking ID I got from bluedart and this is coming from Chennai and will be delivered tomorrow.

I am really curious about this second bluedart package, is it smart tag that got shipped for me or if not, what else could this 3rd package be? Can more people who pre-reserved confirm if they got smart tag or did any one else receive any update on a package from BlueDart coming from Chennai?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kannanX10:
@sagarb

Received your 512 or not?my dealer is having one burgundy 512 with him if needed do tell
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Maybe they shipped your tag.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sagarb:
nope mate not yet.but he told he got it just now ill take tmr.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ragavbpl:
Am I the only lucky person to get my tag so fast? Didn't hear from anyone else on tags.

When I contacted samsung on what they shipped via bluedart, they were again completely clueless and said we only shipped phone which is delivered and now we shipped watch. They said tags will start dispatching after 15 days of delivery of phone. But anyways whatever it is i'll come to know tomorrow!

Also regarding deferred exchange, my device will be picked up tomorrow.. will see what drama they do to not pay exact smart exchange value.. how about others, anyone already got deferred exchange amount or everyone is waiting?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
usko tag diya

humko taang diya

T: some get tag some get leg
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kannanX10:
then no problem,i will ask my person to sell that 512

your location?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
unrelated...sometimes happiness arises from bluedart sms and in the end it turns to be credit card pin mailer

Few banks still use BD only for documents also, rest send pin via cheap ones
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
@ragavbpl any cover etc. did you order and forgot?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
do share your experience, location, condition of pickup guy
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] minuteman00:
May be they sending you buds 2 one of their super sekrit contest winner
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ragavbpl:
No, it is not PIN or Bank Card for sure, because the SMS came from SAVEXZ with bluedart tracking ID and also in the SMS original order ID tagged to s22 ultra is mentioned
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ragavbpl:
No I didn't order any cover or protector from samsung, I ordered ESR Project 0 clear silicon case from amazon and I am still using 15 W note 9 charger

P.S. - even 15 watt charger is able to charge the phone in 1 hour 15 mins to 100%, I really doubt what added advantage 45W charger is really adding at 2.5K to 3K price when it just helps charge upto 50% fast and then it still takes 1 hour 5 to 10 mins for full 100% charge
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ragavbpl:
Sure will do.. location is Hyderabad.. rest of the experience i'll share after phone is picked up tomorrow
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ragavbpl:
Haha.. at first this very thought crossed my mind, but it is surely highly unlikely that I am receiving buds 2 (though I still wish that some magic happens and I do get them).

It seems more likely that it is smart tag only.. but will keep everyone updated once I receive the Bluedart package
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sunny1119:
Yo

You guys did not see my message probably. Hello hahah
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nextdoorneighbour:
I also got two messages today with different tracking numbers. One is clearly from Samsung and mentions galaxy watch while the other is from Savex and does not mention product details. So looks like it's the smart tag
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ragavbpl:
Oh ok... but how do they know it's for smart tag only? Like on website or sms it is not mentioned know
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ragavbpl:
What's your location and where is your bluedart package coming from?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nextdoorneighbour:
I'm from Kolkata. Watch coming from Delhi and the unmarked package coming from Kolkata itself
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Super_Commando:
How's the main camera compared to note 9? I compared in store but found my note 9 main cam to be better.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sunny1119:
I saw 3-4 people on twitter getting Delivery messages that item has been shipped, all of them have already received phone and the watch, so probably its the tag! Unless samsung gives some special surprise lol
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nitinmits:
Got screen protector. Waiting for mobile
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nextdoorneighbour:
I'm pretty sure it's the tag because the message is not from Samsung, it's from Savex. The only product that doesn't show in our order history on Samsung website/app is the tag.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nextdoorneighbour:
Damn! Lucky you
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ragavbpl:
Haha it may sound funny, but I haven't taken a lot of photos so far.. so can't comment on Camera. But will share some thoughts in a couple of days (planning a small outing on weekend, so that would be good time to test out cameras)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Abhinav Jain:
My amazon order page has updated and has started showing 'preparing for dispatch'. Maybe i will get my phone in next 1 - 2 days.

Even I didn't receive my 512 GB S22 ultra yet (pre-reserved on 11/02 and later pre-booked on 23/02). My smartcafe guy (Tirupati) says he too has 512 GB Burgundy in stock. But I want black. He says he'll get it by Sunday evening 🥵!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sagarb:
bro for hw much you got the deal for 512gb
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] agentsandy007:
How much are you guys earning on monthly basis to afford 1L phones?

Am I the only one who do not want to spend more than 40K for a flagship?

Could it be I'm earning less?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Dpk1:
I have to pay INR 97,400 (Includes 512GB S22 ultra + GW4 - 2000 prebook amount) after exchanging my worn out Note 8 (no accessories, broken s-pen, dents all over, yellow screen).

Price breakup (INR) -

Total amount: 119000 + 3000 = 122000

Note 8 exchange value: 10000 + 8000 (upgrade bonus)

Prebook amount paid = 2000

Dealer discount = 4600

P.S. Received my gadgetshieldz screen protector for the S22 ultra today. Waiting for the silicone case and hoping that gadgetshieldz is compatible with the case!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nextdoorneighbour:
Could be about priorities. I bought S22U and am now broke, but I saw this coming
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kannanX10:
Sorry bro….he’s having only burgundy and you are in Cbe right? if you want this I will ask him to deliver
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shirdesh:
I have my package coming tomorrow from chennai from bluedart, already got the phone. Waiting for tag and watch 4. Will let you know what i get from bluedart.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
I've seen unemployed buying 13 PRO MAX on day 1 and super rich using 20k phones. I'm sure others have seen this too. I know an entrepreneur having a retail chain of several stores across India who uses a midrange moto G series phone who himself said In a interview that despite of his stores selling several hundred iPhones daily he never had one or has any interest in top end ones from other brands either. This scenario is not uncommon.

It's an urge to get the device irrespective of poor or rich. This human nature as long as human race isn't wiped out, will continue. 😇
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Dpk1:
I recently got relocated to Tirupati from Coimbatore. Really enjoyed my 3 years there! Thanks buddy I do appreciate your effort but I want black. Somehow, I don't like Burgundy at all 😊!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] lycan_codex:
Welcome to Tirupati! Its my native place.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
It's not about money but the enthusiasm that differs between people.

Age also probably plays a role although nothing seems to be changing for me as I get there. Still doing iPhone and Galaxy Day 1 every year since the beginning of time. I get questioned at work too sometimes on this. I guess it's just the passion some of us have to want and be on the bleeding edge of tech and gadgets. Let people judge all they want. Apna kaam banta toh kya karegi junta 😝

Sharing quick comparison photo of moon from my Note 9 vs S22 ultra:

NOTE 9, Digital zoom (whatever max X)

Here's a 10x zoom photo of moon from s22 ultra

and here is a s22 ultra 100x photo of the moon

Obviously photo quality is very bad as it is in pitch dark night and plus couple of them with digital zoom. But checkout the 100x zoom pic.. It surprises me how far software processing has come in making a photo look usable.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ragavbpl:
So it's a smart tag that just got delivered via bluedart.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] drtushar:
Bhai log now that you have used s22U, how much big upgrade it is over the S21U? Been using S21U since launch and am very happy with it. iPhone 13 pro is my daily driver and S21U is for all other things than calling.

Have prebooked the s22U but that urge which was always there to get the best one is somehow missing.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
It's bigger and not as one hand easy as the 21U was. The note form factor can be jarring if one is coming strictly from S flagships like me.

I don't wear undies at home so putting this in shorts pocket while the maid is working can be extremely fatal.

Apart from that no major complaints though.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nitinmits:
I have ordered 2 no. Smarttag+ via ebay
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] 00_Simran_00:
Hey guys i ordered my device from samsung shop website on 22 feb. expected delivery 9th march. Still i haven't received any call from them let alone the delivery. Website jus shows confirmed! not packaged/shipped. I have called customer care multiple times, all they say is that its in our warehouse u'll get it soon. Is there someone else who is facing such issue after order s22 ultra from the website?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anil84:
what's the utility, I mean anything great?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] --xplora--:
Totally depends on use-case apart from passion / wanting latest gadget / budget etc.

In my case have been a Note user since note came out 10 years back. Nothing could replace Spen's utilities and even convenience for me. Just mindlessly browsing on the phone on web / social media is way better and comfortable using Spen vs finger / thumb.

Also one has to check inflation in past 2-3 years. Galaxy notes 4 years back were 60K not 1Lac.

Plus they are giving "more" in terms of tech / gadgets. S22U with its cameras especially the periscope ones is a full fledged camera and digital image processing system. The AI on it is really aggressive, sometimes too aggressive, but it does correct almost every mistake that you make while shooting, you dont have to bother using LR for post pro.

Also, with buy-backs being at a reasonable rate for immediate previous models, people find it easier to upgrade more frequently than not.

Also what sweetens the deal for lot of people who dont have spare cash lying around is the EMI culture. Which IMO is going to create a mess for India, people take holidays on EMI its just unfathomable for someone like me.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nitinmits:
Its good device as i have 1 airtag if something is lost than your device not needed to be near tag as it can give location if other apple devices ate nearby
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] adie95:
I would recommend not to upgrade from your 40k phone. Because once you upgrade, you can't go back and would be found in threads like these.

I received my special edition box on March 8 and smart tag today. Can someone tell me how to enroll for Smartclub, it is asking for membership ID to enroll but I don't find it anywhere.

First log in with your Samsung ID and then do the linking process.

Thanks to @anil84 I was able to get past this.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] antoromeo:
After login and click enrollment it is asking membership id
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Super_Commando:
Can you please check daytime main camera pics (without zoom). I found note 9 to be better, when I compared it in a store.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] --xplora--:
All those who received the GW4, had a completely dead battery ?

Mine had 0% juice. Usually it has half battery life may be few months of manufacture and lying on the shelf might have depleted the battery. Mine is manufactured and imported in Nov 21 silver.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] --xplora--:
nope S22U is better. This photo I took 3 days back on the terrace of my mulberry shrub. These mulberries are less than half a centimeter in size. I have not done detailed testing of the cameras, but the best one I found was the 3X. Not sure about the 108MP one, did not find any difference ( again havent tested just a couple of clicks ) between 108 and 12MP.

PS: This photo is whatsapp forward compressed as I am using XDA on the desktop, but gives you an idea. The AI makes a huge difference. I just pointed and clicked, no settings / portrait mode etc. AI does over processing though, will have to tweak it to dial down.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Mine was about 50%. Manufactured Nov 2021

Just received smart tag, it shipped from chennai for me. Now i have to wait for the watch.:mad:
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nextdoorneighbour:
Maybe because of display settings? You can have a true comparison only when you view both images on the same device.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nextdoorneighbour:
Quite strange. Where do you live? Maybe you should visit a Samsung store to get this issue fixed
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nextdoorneighbour:
You're paying $20 shipping! Why didn't you buy from Samsung website?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] 00_Simran_00:

I am in the same boat, even the link you provided asks for membership ID. I brought from Samsung website, but the invoice doesn't contain any membership ID there.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sunny1119:
Same for me too, I read somewhere that membership ID would only be available on eligible device purchases. So maybe s22 ultra does not fall under eligible devices?

Edit: It is Qualified purchases and not eligible device purcahse.

Sorry, but I am not comparing macro & zoom capabilities of note9 & s22u. I am asking asking about normal main camera pics. I found photos from s22u to be brighter, but with overshapening artifacts in daylight (actually from inside store). Maybe you can compare if you have both these phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Super_Commando:
Display of note 9 is quite good, though s22u would be definitely better. What I observed were oversharpening artifacts in s22u ( visible on zooming in)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sunny1119:
Still does not work, once you click on login it will ask you for mobile number and once you enter it, it will say mobile not registered and then you have to sign up for new enrollment. New enrollment will ask for membership id...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Thats odd. I also had the exact same issue. And as soon as @anil84 gave the url it worked.

I was told a couple of years ago at the samsung store that smart-club only works for purchases made at their physical store. So always believed that and never bothered about self login. They had clearly lied to me 🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] --xplora--:
Will try and take pictures of both at 1X and post it, right now its too bright outside will do in the evening or tomorrow.

Decision of upgrading or not upgrading to S22U just for the difference in 1X camera is not logical.

S22U has hundreds of improvements over older notes. Also when you are talking about 1X both cameras are not the same in terms of their focal length one is 22mm one is 26mm same goes with F stops, pixel size, sensor size and forced processing.

Also at 1X you are probably looking at taking regular pictures of people / general subjects and that is where s22Us AI makes a huge difference. Check this video out for comparison with a pro grade SONY A7 IV cam

Don't be anxious take it easy. You should visit a store and see what's up. In the worst case scenario you can cancel the order, get refund and order again. You don't lose anything because the same pre-order offers are still there

Just received my UAG Monarch Carbon Fiber. It is lokkind wickedly cool. Much much better than Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro that I am currently using with my Note 10 Plus. I think i purchased the last peace from Amazon. Because now it not available. Wanted to buy Black Kevlar but it was not available. Nevertheless the Carbin Fibre one is also looking very cool. Hope it provides as much protection as my Supcase. Now eagery waiting for my S22 Ultra to be delivered by Amazon.

You should check with the customer care..

I have ordered the device on 3rd March from Samsung App and was showing the delivery date 4th April.. But it got shipped on 9th March itself and was out of delivery on 11th March. I have cancelled that since i wanted to use corporate offer.

Even for the corporate order I made yesterday evening(11th March 17:30), it was showing delivery date as 5th April. But I got the invoice in whatsapp today morning(12th March) itself and the status got changed to packaged in corporate portal. I am able to see the status in BlueDart site as Online Shipment Booked yesterday night (11th March 19:07)itself .. Thats too fast:eek::eek:
