[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] pratik_193:
Did you not use live translate feature of s24 ultra?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] anil84:
It said NOT AVAILABLE on his S23U :LOL:
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] twisted_mind:
no bro vomit green online exclusive special edition pro max doesn’t have this feature
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] drtushar:
Guys my local shop guy has received stock. I will be getting by 6.30 pm today
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] anil84:
Dr always get vaccine/medicine early then patients :cowboy::cool:(y)
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] PG101:
Yup.. it's available for pick up now. Since I had confirmed with the shop for tomorrow, I will go then only. Final deal 1.18K minus 44K (S22U) + Wireless Charger + 5k Voucher via mygalaxy + free case and screen protector.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] sasha8200:
I also got the call for pickup
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] twisted_mind:
How many here are going caseless? This will be a first for me. My beloved UAG hasn’t arrived in India yet (the one type I want) and 8k for a case is something I can’t convince my conscience.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] anil84:
I will go cashless...will pay by card only
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Buyback value in my galaxy is now live with respect to S24 Ultra. For 23U 512, it now shows 95650 in mine.

Cafés and stores are fooling us for 23U all this time or were unaware the buyback would be this much ? They can use the code generated and get the value.

Edit:

I called up two of them and while one was stammering the other one was quite nervous. Forget 3rd party vendors these cafés sell the phones to, the price quoted is the official one(some amount should be less based on obvious factors but not 65/70k they are quoting, nope ?). I wish I knew how it exactly works but the quoted price in my galaxy app cannot be unreal.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] anil84:
But with the trend of previous flagships it never remained like this

Even if it shows x amount, cafe guys never honor it

Also how they show 15k as bonus here?

Also what stores/cafe offer depends on current sales price too na, device is available for lesser price online then exchange value will dwindle?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] PG101:
I can never go caseless. I have ordered one simple one from Amazon (in possession) till I am in Singapore to get the leather case.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] twisted_mind:
With due respect, the cafe in my case neer came close to the buyback price on the app. This is from the time the site/app started this buyack price thing.... am confident they will not honour it because they have always called the used market network to ascertain the current buyback price and lowaballed royally.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] anil84:
special customers 😅
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] twisted_mind:
At least the twitter guy’s S22U Samsung knew. Here I’ve been buying every single flagship day 1 since the original S and yet they never know or appreciate me for it. Makes me wonder how I am a priority premium customer when they don’t know what I have.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] anil84:
priority customer, preference, loyalty all this means nothing for a seller

pre reserve is hard sold with commitment of first & fast delivery and people end up getting delayed deliveries vs the last minute, walkin customers

launch/pre order offers become normal offers as they have to sell as many units and no exclusivity remains to loyal users who shower their excitement by being part of pre reserve gang
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] amirage:
Wait it out for 1-2 months by then the device will get better os updates and be a much better device than it was at launch...
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] anil84:

Nice. Really nice.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Beefheart:
From the other thread....
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] anil84:
Different people have different reasons for buying or not buying

Few of the reasons for buying:

1. People have lot of money so looking for avenues to spend

2. Itching to hold new flagship each year @twisted_mind

3. Exchange value of current flagship dooming further by the time next flagship comes & no guarantee phone will withstand that much time from dropping or sustaining further damage <myself>

4. Content with whatever upgrade Samsung offers being diehard fanboy

5. Getting good deal
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] anil84:
another leak

box design ,& colors
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Beefheart:
None of what you have said negates the points I made.

1. Clearly if people want to throw money away it's their money and their choice. This is obvious.

2. Some people will always want to waste money simply to have the latest phone, despite negligible difference from the phone they bought less than 12 months ago. A bit stupid in my opinion but it's their money.

3. Possibly the stupidest logic I've read in years. The phone I currently have despite working fine at the moment might not make it through to the next flagship release, so I'll buy a new one now. Not sure if you're being serious here. All manufactures would absolutely love every customer to have this nonsensical attitude.

4 & 5. If you're offered a trade in plus a couple of hundred notes for a S24 Ultra it makes sense, but that won't happen. Once that goes beyond £600 I'd sooner stick with what I have.

As said, it's an incremental upgrade so unless your phone has a fault that can't be fixed, stick with the S23 Ultra. Two months down the line you will start to wonder why you bothered.

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] twisted_mind:
As with every year. It’s UAG or nothing for this UAG fan-girl 😋
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Aptly said 🥳
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Got a call again from Samsung India just now. Thursday 12pm is the pre booking start and will go on till 20th. However the rep informed the sooner you complete the purchase the better chances of goodies. Last year wife got all the goodies including the special box and I didn’t. 🥲

Also guys please remember to use the pre-reserve VIP pass in the cart and also in order to use the 5k discount you have to add an extra product. I forgot to do this last year hence sharing.

@anil84
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] PG101:
And that's your opinion. Next time you want to disagree, do so without condescendence.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] PG101:
I called my regular offline store, where I prereserved. He said that I would likely get the device on the 20th (though the Samsung guy who prereserved at that time said first week Feb). And It seems like deals are the same online or offline.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Yes am well aware of it. I maybe wrong but the value used to show lower than the vendor value in that app mostly throughout the years. And now it looks more this time. But, I'm well aware of the fact that vendors are selling approx 11 months old 512 23U for 80k plus currently when condition is great.

Not to forget 15k is the Samsung exchange bonus and 80650 is the price given. It exactly matches.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] anil84:
And when you click buy online it throws error

Do you think any cafe will offer this?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] anil84:
Just called some random cafe to check

They are like not possible sir

And he told for S24 it's 15k

For Ultra it's 12k
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Yea they resale with a hefty 15-20k margin. The guy I sell my iPhones to every year, is easily able to eke out a good 20k to the actual illuminati secret underground used market. And then the same device I sell for around 80k to him is unleashed on buyers for 1.10L 😹

Nice business if you ask me. Bina kuch kiya free mein note chaapo.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Call CCD. The one in Oshiwara.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] anil84:
@Virgo_Guy this exchange is specially for S24 base model only as cafe guy is telling

He told last was flip 5 or fold 5

According to him such quote won't generate for S24U
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Congrats first this year among us. And a gentlemanly colour compared to the abomination that’s coming my way 😭
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] drtushar:
you have made the term vomit green legendary already ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Yes, very much possible, I missed that.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
110k, 108k with wireless charger..I'm taking for 110k with the charger.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Is that some kind of flat under the MRP discount or some rewards redemption that brings it to 1.08? Just curious because all my life I’ve never got even a rupee discounted at any Samsung cafe.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] anil84:
Is LSV offer only for pre book customers and 512 gb prices have been restored to 140k?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Wife’s buds came. Woman card is strong like ever. She ordered 4 hours after me 🙃
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
First thoroughly understand the scemes for days and understand where they can reduce it. Catch their lies and bargain. It works for me lol..

Kuber doesn't need discount, he only donates..... online.

😣 I’m extremely bad at bargaining. And the 2nd paragraph was my plain stupidity I know 😢
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] akhilgg:
Guys, ordered myself an s24Ultra from Samsung shop with Instant Exchange of my Google Pixel last week. I have been reading so many tweets and feedback that Bluedart will simply reject the exchange phone and eventually cancel the order. Anyone has any experience with instant Exchange from Samsungshop?

One more doubt, the anti reflective screen guard from Samsung is a screenguard film or a tempered glass ? Just wanted to clarify.

Thanks,

Akhil :)
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Dpk1:
Received the screen protector earlier today. Will get AI phone and Silicone case delivered tomorrow as per bluedart sms and tracking!
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Dpk1:
I'll be giving my S23 ultra 512 GB (mint condition) for instant exchange tomorrow most likely. Will let you know how it goes.

The official samsung SG is not tempered glass.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] twisted_mind:
No. Instant exchange is extremely safe. No khich khich by blue dart. The only time they will reject is if the Cashify Diagnose app fails to work on your old phone or shows issues. I experienced this royally during the S22 launch where the app would fail to launch. And then finally when it started launching it would say Invalid IMEI for no reason.

The BD guys are extremely professional. The guy in my case came thrice to my doorstep and each time the app failed on me. He realised we will will screwed out of our preorder benefits / freebies and recommended to call him once Cashify fixes the issue on their back end and he will come for delivery. This was with both me and wife’s phones.

Cashify never bothered to fix the issue and are absolutely the most horrendous customer service you can wish even on your worst enemies.

But right when both of us had given up hope, one day randomly the app started working and I called the guy. He happened to be in my complex doing other deliveries and had our phones in his bag. Came within 5 mins and completed the hand to hand exchange.

From that moment I make it a point to install and run the app on the phone once at least a month every single month. This time they have upgraded the app and it actually is nice. And works perfectly.

Instant is 100000000 times better than smart exchange. Under instant you have already got the discount for the promised buy back value from Samsung. So you have Samsung by the balls. Under smart exchange you are at the mercy of a chapri pro max rando who comes to your doorstep from Cashify chewing gutka and will lowball the hell out of whatever buyback value you were promised by Samsung. He will make a scene at your doorstep and you will literally have no recourse but to swallow whatever BS price he gives because your neighbours will all collect to see what a Loan Recovery Agent looks like in person. It’s a great way to embarrass oneself in a civilised respectable society and be forever shunned and looked down upon by all residents.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Can you guys pls stop posting free accessories except the wireless charger pls? I feel terrible at stupidly missing selecting anything while paying 🤬
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Looks just like every year the pre-reserve pre order benefits are open beyond the “earlier stipulated” window. Storage upgrade and everything else seems to be still on offer.

Aur zaleel karo hum early loyal customers ko @anil84
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] akhilgg:
Thank you so much bro. Appreciate it.

Thank you so much bro. I was so worried after reading all those posts. The Cashify app is 'Cashify Diagnose' app right ?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Yes bro. Just run it and check if all the tests are running successfully. Then when the BD guy comes run it again.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] sasha8200:
Has anyone got ADLD in corporate from Store?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Got S24 Ultra Off line
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Paid 41100 for the above + ADLD in exchange for 23U 512. Café installed a TG & gave a Case for free without me asking for any, nice small gesture.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Have a question for those who got ADLD from cafe before;

Neither I received any message or code from Samsung for adld, nor any such document from the cafe. It's just mentioned as "corporate offer 3rd party adld insurance" in the phone invoice. When asked the salesman he said adld will come in 2 weeks or so. Wonder how it works like that..
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] twisted_mind:

Out for delivery
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dutch_in_seattle:
Folks in the U.S. definitely get *way* better pre-order deals than in Europe. I (in the U.S.) pre-ordered an S24 Ultra (512 GB, free upgrade from 256 GB) with S23 Ultra traded in for $549 ($750 trade-in value for my S23 Ultra, plus additional $100 pre-order Samsung credit and $50 pre-registration incentive). In addition, with various package pre-order discounts, I was able to add a 47mm Galaxy Watch6 Classic to my order for $129 ($300 discount from MSRP). Since I already have a Galaxy Watch5 Pro, I could easily sell the Watch6 Classic if I wanted to, which would bring the effective cost of the S24 Ultra down even further (say, in the lower 300s).

Since I'm originally from the Netherlands, just for the heck of it, I looked at the Dutch Samsung site to see what things would cost there. You do get a free storage upgrade, as in the U.S., but the MSRP for the S24 Ultra is higher there (€1,449 for 512GB) and you only get a trade-in value of €417 (plus pre-order bonus €100) for a 256GB S23 Ultra! That means that you'll still pay €932 for the S24 Ultra, even with a trade-in (vs. $549 in the U.S.)! Plus, if you wanted to add a 47mm Galaxy Watch6 Classic, you do get 20% discount, but even with that you still end up paying €329 for the watch (vs. $129 in the U.S.).

Paying almost €1,000 (or $1,000 for that matter), even with a trade-in of last year's flagship phone, would definitely not have been worth it to me. (I love trying out new tech, but come on...!)

First-world problem, I know, but the differences between the U.S. and Europe in this regard are pretty stark.

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] sagarb:
Got it
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Call Assist (live transcript during call) AI feature is as expected a joke lol!

Best thing so far like in S24 ultra is titanium frame and mat back cover gives relief that it won't slip from hand. May be Samsung lose good amount for replacing screen business :D
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Is this the green one? Pic please. Mine’s out for delivery but am curious already
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Yeh kaisa green hai bhai 😣😢😭

Looks like wife ka violet dhaapna padega 🥳
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] sagarb:
It doesn't look green at all lol
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] pratik_193:

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] sasha8200:
THis time Samsung naming scheme is confusing

I purchased Grey it seems to me light golden.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Wife’s 24U came and went.

Instant exchange.

The BD guy’s device wouldn’t accept the OTP generated post completing all the diagnosis on her phone. So he refused to do exchange and has gone back to investigate.

Cashify is hands down worse than cancer. 2 years ago same thing but it was their own app that would say invalid IMEI. This year new jhamela 🤬

Am glad I sold the 23U offline.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Must be a campus recruit who meant Tatti but got auto-corrected to Titanium.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
All these colors look different in real, v/s how they look in photos!

It's better not to pay attention to the naming scheme.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Update : BD have marked wife’s order as customer refused despite their own system being the culprit. Now the game begins of running behind Samsung for refund. Wow. Just WOW 👏👏
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] PG101:
Got mine... the violet is stellar.. got the wireless charger and screen protector and case.. Now, I am isolating myself in the study, not to be disturbed.. LOL
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] anil84:
@Virgo_Guy Are all getting Case + SP/TG? Samsung so liberal? Had heard few cafe giving 45W adaptor free
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] sasha8200:
I got case but its some local not of samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] anil84:
Ringke is having extra 24% off on it's own portal

Don't buy from Amazon

I have used Ringke cover for S23U & it was good
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
All true. Do not believe the media bluff of record breaking sales. Sales are average at best and so is the goodies hospitality. I am seeing the sales/prebook figure of 24U series of a big ratail chain and that's nothing to write home about compared to last year.

Yes, felt good that atleast they offered despite of being the cheapest of quality.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Noticed this for years, the only problem is the return/replace/refund experience is nowhere close to amazon.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] anil84:
Just saw whatsapp status updates of one of the cafe showing "S24 Ultra Midnigh Launch with our Premium Customers"
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Probably you should not ask for refund immediately( I don't even want to imagine the never ending process..).Contact cashify and try to resolve this? BD probably will hold it for a day or two!
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Definitely not wanting a refund but BD should also hold it like you said. The guy told the wife this year it’s happening a lot for S23 exchanges. Dunno how true that is because no one got delivery yesterday for online orders and this incident is from 1130am today. Can’t be a nationwide issue so quickly.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Vomit Green alright 🥹

Still sad wife’s violet is on hold. Want that one 🤯
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] twisted_mind:
@anil84 first impression. In Hand feel is much more reassuring than expected and might be placebo but better than 23U. Am absolutely set for going naked 🥳
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
He's told you the truth even if falsely or for lip service. Samsung Cafes are facing the same with 23U exchanges that I witnessed yesterday late night including mine. The Samsung executives there had to swap 3 units of 24U before finally were able to complete the process with the 3rd one. Ofcourse all brand new and sealed.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Hmm ok but the issue wasn’t with her 23U. It’s something on the BD side where they punch in the OTP that’s generated at the end of the Cashify diagnose process. That OTP seems to be not getting accepted for them to take the 23U. But yeah could be a larger problem like you say. Let’s just hope this doesn’t end in a rejection and refund. Next year onwards I’ll just sell her phone offline a few days before or after the new one. Have totally given up on this Cashify cancer now.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Spoke to the guy for the 4th time now. He’s saying it’s an issue with BD and tomm morning magically the issue will be fixed and he’ll deliver the violet. Don’t know how true that is seeing as you mention this happened in cafés as well. Looks more like Cashify at fault somehow in not syncing up something. Because cafés also use Cashify if im not mistaken.

So disappointed that I’m not even peeling off the screen plastic on my Vomit Green. Totally buzz killed all the mood this year
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Guys anyone noticed minute imperfections on the back glass? Mine has a tiny silver spot within the green back. Also the front plastic sheet is haphazardly misaligned which is poor QC by Samsung for something that’s as expensive as this.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] twisted_mind:
23U UAG case works perfectly with 24U. Money saved 😂
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
This 👇

is most likely the reason. Is the part of the upgrade process in which they use the IMEI of the new phone and the code generated in the old one using My Galaxy app.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] nitinmits:
Mine S22U exhanged without any problems by Bluedart.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] nitinmits:
My friend bought S24U 512GB at Smart cafe for 108000 with No cost EMI and ADLD by giving corporate email id.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Guy said the issue is with S23U exchanges.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Yes. As raw deal this is great without exchange if didn't have to deal with some fishy SIMs at first.

I was offered for 108k as well with charger and for 2100 additional for ADLD using corp id, but got to know first SIM that will go into the phone and will be there for 5 mins will not be mine, so chose the route of paying 110k instead, in a different café for the same offers without having to deal with someone else's SIM.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] devaponnadsm:
I am thinking of rooting S24 Ultra and testing. Idc about Knox, there's a KnoxPatcher btw.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Knox will be tripped permanently and can't be put to normal position by any means. Same with Warranty.

You will lose SPay SPass forever. Still interested, I have started topic here
