Me and my family are overseas in Germany right now. I am wondering if we ordered a case from the states (Amazon or wherever), if it will fit onto the Galaxy S6 my wife got here in Germany? I know this probably seems like a silly question but my wife wants a specific case for her phone and they don't have it over here or on the Amazon DE site.
Nah, although there are some internal differences between various models the physical dimensions are all the same.
Hey there,
I am looking at the xperia Z5 aswel as the s6, I am able to get both for roughly the same price. I am torn between the two and I feel I need you guys to persuade me to sway towards the s6 asmote and more reading on the z5 has made me want to get it instead of the s6. I also need help on which model I should get, these are the only ones available to me for the same price. An S6 32 GB in topaz blue, sapphire gold, an edge version in 32gb black sapphire or a 64gb normal s6 in black sapphire. Thank you.
Forgot to mention that I've twice tried to purchase the s6 edge and both times experienced serious problems/issues, I am currently in the process of receiving a refund from my latest s6 edge purchase. It seems like god doesn't want me to get an s6 lol.
at this point i would recommend you waiting for the upcoming s7...it should be release within 1 or 2 months and will be superior to everything avaiable right now

I would but money is an issue for me. I have a good used phone supplier so that's why I have those choices, an s7 would be more than double of what I can afford to pay.

Rumors are claiming no Plus version this year, unless they're released at a later date.
Judging by the s7 edges size and specs can't imagine why they'd bother making a plus. A new note will probably be the next release

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there wont be a s7 edge plus. Unless they make it with a 6" which is highly unlikely.
Seems by making a 5.5" screen, they are attracting users from both s6 edge plus and the s6 edge.

I disagree.
Samsung official said in an interview just one day ago that they want to shorten the cycle of their flag-ship releases to twice a year.
Either this means that they will bring the + versions in 6 months, or they will start offering Note series as another flagship to a larger audience (of Galaxy S series buyers).
It's so easy to just interim update existing models. It's the cheapest option for manufacturers and requires very little expensive re-tooling changes.
Also, it's a way for them to keep the prices and margins high throughout the whole sales year.
So yes, I think there'll probably be + versions towards late summer, early fall.
As to what the changes/differences will be, I don't know, but I doubt it'll be anything that big.
Why are older international phones still so expensive? You would think, or at least thats what people tell u is phones loose value faster then anything! Look at the s10e 970f its still $350+?
Learn'd in a class call'd Economics: Prices are determined by supply and demand in a free market.
No thats not it. Hardly anyone in america even things of owning a cell phone. Truly owning.

Because it is the last Samsung proper flagship pre-pandemic phone in a small form factor .
Also, a 970f (which has bootloader freely unlockable) demands a higher price than a 970u (which has bootloader nearly impossible to unlock; requires pre Ui 3.1, costs money to unlock, and then custom ROMs will break VoLTE). There are also differences in band coverage, as can be seen here...

and overall the latest compact android with headphone jack AND sd-card. i lately got this because of missing alternatives to replace my galaxy A3 2017 (was temted by zenfone 8, but ramdump-issue was too scary for the price)
I replaced my A70 with a S10e because Android 12 and yes, it's the last reasonable sized Samsung flagship
Looks like India might be getting the Snapdragon this year. How many of you are going to upgrade? I've already sold my S21 Ultra in anticipation for the S22 Ultra.
For me, it's too early to decide based on rumours and conjecture alone. Will wait for a month after the device is out in people's hands before making the decision. I stayed back on A11 on my S21U so phone performance is still very good. Thankfully, i downgraded from A12 before the bootloader update so I was able to roll back. If A12 performance on S22U is similar to the S21U, I would stay clear of it.
As far as chipset is concerned, I don't really have an issue with the E2100. Unlike previous Exynos SoCs, I quite liked the E2100. It's very comparable to the SD888 performance, really closing the gap this year. In some aspects I actually prefer the E2100, especially is thermal performance and stand-by battery drain, when compared to the SD counterpart.
The S22U isn't offering anything more than an inbuilt stylus and a generational chipset upgrade. Not sure if the increase in performance will justify the extra cost of upgrading.
The phone has got to be something really special and miles ahead of the S21U for me to spend another 60-70k (assuming S21U exchange discount, bank offers etc). If I was upgrading from S20U to S22U, I could justify it, but from the S21U, only time will tell if it's worth the money.
Yes this is pain as no one yet know what version release in India
According to some reports southeast countries will get SD so according to this we may get Exynos
I am planning to buy but want to go with international version, as its useless if you develop and no audience there. Let's see.

Looks like it is almost confirmed to be Snapdragon in India.

IMO, i feel the S21U will get atleast 65 to 75K easily in exchange because,
1. S21 Ultra is out of stock at most places
2. S21 Ultra prices, new at places with stock may not go down
3. S22 Ultra won't be much of an upgrade so people may opt to buy S21 Ultra at a lower price
CONFIRMED!
Galaxy S21, S22 Galaxy S21 FE Galaxy Z Fold3, Z Flip3, Galaxy Tab S8 Will ALL get 4 major android updates AND 5 years of security updates!

I agree, I sold my S21 Ultra for 65k but it took sometime for me to find a buyer. The prices should be in the 55k range for S21 Ultra after the release of S22U. But regardless of that with all the goodies they will give (hopefully), the nett cost shouldn't be more than 30-35k. The nett cost for my Note 20U to S21U transfer was 10k.
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 ?

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.

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"
"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.

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
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?

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).
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.

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

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?
