I owe about 300 bucks on my note 5. I wanted to have 2 phones, 1 for VR/backup and one as a primary phone. thought about selling my 64gb version for 500 bucks last week but now... due to everything that's happen, seems like the "Free Market" has now priced the Note 5 lesser than what it was, selling now for about 350. Great steal but this is sad for us Note 5 users who thought about selling it. I can either keep it or use the Jump program to get a different phone. . I do have a Note 7 v2 but haven't decided if to return it or wait or what. I can't root it. Can't do much with it like I can my N5. Only reason to keep is will be for the micro card slot.
Anyways... I'm stuck between keeping my Note 5 and what to do with the Note 7.
Anybody else thought about selling their phone?
Hope our note 5 resale wont go down too much. My wife has the s7 edge and we read that it has lots of problems with wifi, bluetooth and a few other things and now the note 7 was a total piece of crap. I think samsung is going down hill with their products, I have a 65 inches smart tv and had to replace the screen on it under warranty but now the screen is getting bad again but its not worth it to pay $3000 to change for a new one. I also had a few galaxy tablets and had charging problems with them.
I think samsung's quality is not like it use to be and its too bad because samsung has really nice products
Here they are sold below $300, 64gb or 32gb (only tmobile or SM-N920W8) at&t, sprint or other models are more cheapers. S7 flat, under $300, s7 edge under $400.
The only one that does not depreciate is the iphone. The 6s plus is above $400 (only gsm models) that's too bad

On a side note if you do end up getting rid of the note 7 hit me up [email protected]
I did google this. The only info I found was before the note 7 was released which I was originally gonna go with the note 7 sadly it had to blow up. Lol but I'm just curious if I buy a note 5 now would it be sufficient enough until the note 8 releases?
It'd really depend on the price you find. It's a good phone, but nothing I've been overly in love with. I'm actually looking to ditch this and Verizon to grab the OnePlus 3T. Not totally decided yet
On swappa I can buy one between 300 and 350 in mint cond.

What size? I have mine on a payment plan on Verizon at $792. It's the 64gb version. As long as it's a good bit under retail it might be worth it. Biggest thing is about to you find the drawbacks worth it?

The problem is the battery. It was always underpowered to begin with then add to that Marshmallow and now the batteries are over 1 year old. You may find yourself needing to replace the battery.
The S8 and S8+ will be released soon. I bet Verizon is going to have good deals at launch. I would not plunk down even $300 for this phone now since the battery is likely take a hit from use and it is not easily replaced. But then again, you may be able to trade in the Note 5 for at least $300 toward the S8/S8+ so maybe it would be fine.
Hi All,
Sorry for not posting this earlier and i feel this deserves a thread of its own.
Recently after my buying experience on various different portals, Bestbuy, B&H, Samsung website and T-Mobile US, where most places were out of stock or taking too long to deliver ( I wanted an Ultra 512 GB version), I discovered that Microsoft offered the best buying experience. I am speaking only for Note 20 / Note 20 Ultra buying experince for other things BestBuy etc may be good.
Here is the link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/s...cked/8x2r1c53kbms?activetab=pivot:overviewtab
Or to configure directly go here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sto...s&selectedColor=9A716E&preview=&previewModes=
I had ordered mine and and received it rather quickly (4 Days, due to labor day weekend) and when Samsung reduced the price they even refunded me.
Hope this helps anyone who is as impatient as me.
Enjoy.

Cool, thanks. I'm still not sure if I want a phone I can't root. I cancelled my back order with tmobile until I can make up my mind, lol.
You can do the same up here in Canada as well, fast delivery and availability!
yeah I ordered mine from BHphoto and no delivery time, I ordered the 512gb Note 20 ultra and it was on sale for 1249.00, plus taxes and shipping.

Yup i saw that option too. Cancel your order while you can and you can buy the same from Microsoft for the same price also Microsoft has a device trade in program too so you can see if you are getting anything back for your old device.

I did find the trade in, but you have to already purchased and have your new Note 20 in your hands to even start a trade in, because it asks for the new IMEI# of your Note 20 ultra and u have to put that in to even start the trade in, to me is kind dumb lol

I agree. i guess there are plenty people who exploit loopholes like send in a device and then not by anything. Trade ins rely a lot on what device you are buying. Other way people can exploit is click trade in get discount and never send the old device. There is always a way around let them choose trade in during buying process and refund after they receive the trade in device but them being them what can i say.
FYI - for Note 8 they are giving $250 back, so Note 9 and 10 must be higher than that.

I was responding to the Canadian who suggested it was a good option for us - but the Microsoft Canada site has them at full price ($1819 CDN = $1381 US) for the 128 GB N20 Ultra - whereas we can get the HK SM-N9680 (dual-SIM, 256 GB) for $1350 CDN (= $1025 US). The Microsoft site seems like a good option for you if you want the North American single-SIM 128 GB model.
I just placed an order with amazon. They have them in stock and it'll be here in 2 days. Hopefully all goes well.

Congrats on deciding to take the leap. I am sending mine back. I was noticing yellow tints so i reduced the color temperature from the display settings but today i decided to compare my Note 8 and Note 20 Ultra boy o boy that 3 year old phone has a better display. On comparison i found green tint on my Note 20 Ultra. I suggest you do the same when you receive your phone to to compare it side by side with another display. i also noticed Note 20 Ultra to lack in Sharpness and Contrast (I am sure and its not a placebo). Both the phones were on WQHD resolution and i checked them on full, mid, lowest and auto brightness.
Check yours when you get it.

Hopefully that's not with all of them. I do remember back in the galaxy 8 days there was a pink tint issue that was addressed with an update. I gave my one plus 7 pro to a coworker who's phone broke and I miss it. It's been why I was holding out on the note 20 ultra. I wanted to see what the 8T Pro was going to be but it looks like there will be no 8T Pro. If this one doesn't pan out it will definitely be back to OnePlus for the 8 Pro or 8T.
EDIT: it arrived yesterday in new unopened condition from amazon. So far it works perfectly and I can't notice any off tones in the screen. The screen looks great. I installed an LK flexible film screen protector (same as I had on oneplus 7 pro) and you can even tell it's there. Now to wait for the correct case to come in as I accidentally ordered one for the note 20 and not the ultra after sifting through the possibilities.
So backstory, I found a really good deal on Facebook Marketplace for a OnePlus 8T (US Version unlocked from Amazon) for $370. It's in excellent condition, is paid off, and seems to be the unlocked KB2005 model.
Since the phone is basically half off at that price, I'm super tempted by it. However, the other part of me almost wants to wait for the inevitable OnePlus 9/9 Pro announcements in March and maybe get that one of those on launch. I also had the idea of selling my current phone or the 8T if I'm impressed by either model. That's where I thought I'd come to XDA to ask for advice on what I should do, or if anyone has other ideas!
I currently own a 6T that I got on launch in 2018 and I absolutely love it. It still works well, but being a big tech enthusiast is making me start to get an itch to upgrade soon (especially since my dad just got a Galaxy S21 and was really impressed just helping him set it up).
Thanks all!
I also was on the fence with ditching my 6T for this one, but it's quite an upgrade in almost every way. Once you experience how fluid the screen refresh is, there is no going back. I scored mine on a trade-in promo. Wouldn't pay full retail for it, tho. Seems like a really good deal at that price point. 9 series is going to be very expensive at first, so factor that in. If anything, grab 8T and see if t-mobile is going to be running trade-in promos on them (9 series). You can always sell it on swappa for more if you don't like it.

You bring up a good point there regarding trade in deals. I'd also imagine that T-Mobile is bound to have a deal for the 9 Series. I got my 6T on their original trade in deal in 2018 where you could trade the OG OnePlus One and get $300 off the 6T. It was a no brainer, since I essentially got full value for a 4 year old phone.
Do you recommend oneplus 8t or is better wait?
Hi there, unfortunately my actual phone stoped working and I came back for my backup phone.
So I'm looking for a new phone and in this moment we can find Oneplus 8t for around $500.
Do you think that is a good deal? Or is better wait for a possible oneplus 9 lite with SD 870?
After watch and read many reviews, I did a list with the principal points. Can you tell me if the list match with your real usage?
here are the good things that I observed:
+Screen
+Battery
+Fast Charger 65w
+Dual speaker
+Oxygen Os
In other side:
- Others chargers doesn't look work well
- No SD 865 Plus
- Regular camera
last month traded my Tmo OP7T (with $90 balance, so i paid it off) with Tmo OP8T, paid $0 out of pocket, and it actually lowered my monthly by $20/mo. Tmo still valued the OP7T for $750. So, new phone, lower monthly
Last year, when I traded in my Galaxy S21 Ultra to get an unlocked Galaxy S22 Ultra on Samsung.com, I got a $1,000 trade-in pre-order deal, which meant I only paid about $250 for my Galaxy Ultra S22. The S23 series was just announced, so I looked at the Samsung site to see what trade-in deals they had for an unlocked S23 Ultra. Pretty underwhelming. Only $500 for an S22 Ultra, which would bring the cost to about $700. Sure, you get 512 GB for the price of 256 GB, but I don't really care about that (256 GB is plenty for me). If I could upgrade to S23 Ultra for about $250 to $300, I'd pre-order it in a heartbeat, but not at $700.
Bummer! (I know, first-world "problem"... ).

If you're ordering from the US, there's an additional $500 instant discount, not sure if this is available in other countries or, how long the offer is in effect.
I guess it's Samsung's way of pushing people to pull the trigger, FOMO on the $500 instant discount. Yeah, I agree, those trade in offers on their own are pathetic, you're better off checking out a carrier model vs unlocked direct from Samsung.
If you want 12GB RAM, moving up to the 512GB (or 1TB) storage option is necessary, as the 256GB storage option only has 8GB RAM.
No kidding. This really pissed me off. I thought I had missed something. Now not so sure I will switch up.

It'll be applied once you select color/storage/trade-in. (on unlocked models only, you'll see the message right above where you select Yes/No for trade-in). The carrier models have a different trade-in allowance, you'll see different messaging in the same spot.
You'll see the pre-tax price at the bottom of the screen before you check out.

It's the same $500 trade in price that they're referring as "total instant credit". There's no additional $500 discount other than the trade in discount reflected in the pre tax price.
it is really amusing for me to read about people complaining about things as op does, I have always paid the full price for all my devices, looking for those trade in, or signing never ending contracts looks to me like a pain the ass, better, you pay for your phone, walk out of the store, and that's it
It's not a $500 instant discount. I'd get a $500 trade-in discount for my Galaxy S22 Ultra to get an unlocked Galaxy S23 Ultra straight from Samsung. That's way worse than last year, when I got $1,000 to trade in my Galaxy S21 Ultra to get the Galaxy S22 Ultra. I'd have to pay about $700 now to trade in my Galaxy S22 Ultra for the S23 Ultra. That's simply not worth it to me. Had it been $300 or so, like last year, I would have done it, but not $700. Ah well, would have been nice, but my S22 Ultra is still a great phone.

Yeah, we're talking about the same thing,$500 + whatever device you're trading in for an unlocked model.
I'm guessing the $500 instant credit isn't going to be around much longer, if at all, past the pre-order period that ends on 2/17/2023.
My apologies if my choice of words led anyone to believe there was any other additional $500 discount.

I'm curious what you do with your older phones if you're not trading them in. Samsung for the most part (not including this year) offered great values for trade ins in good working condition which means less headaches and hassle which is normally the case when you try to sell it yourself. Unless you're the exception and rock multiple phones as your daily driver.

What never-ending contracts? This isn't about contracts, simply the phone itself. I'm specifically talking about buying an unlocked phone straight from Samsung, not tied to any carrier. That's basically the online version of "pay for your phone, walk out the store, and that's it" like you do. Use it with any carrier. I, for one, prefer to pay as little as possible for a phone, so if I can get a great trade-in discount like last year, I'm all in.
I was simply comparing this year's S23U trade-in offer to last year's S22U, and it's way worse than last year. Last year, I got way more for my phone as a trade-in than I would ever be able to get selling it on Craig's List or OfferUp. That's definitely not the case this year. I'll hang on to my S22 Ultra longer, which is totally fine with me.
you got it wrong, I spoke in general, about you, I was referring about the cumbersome procedure of sending the phone, waiting for them to judge for what ammount they assess it, etc. I just pay for the phone at the store and presto! , I never sell the phones I have used, I use them 2 or 3 years
yeah I`m with GoogleFI and I preordered through there, 600.00 instant discount and free upgrade to 512gb storage for the same price as the 256gb just like what samsung doing on there webiste, all I have too do is keep it activate on GooglefF for 120 days, so it was $635.99 total for the 512gb green color.
Edit: also the samsung phones on google fi are the unlocked versions.

Exactly my feelings and situation right now. Pathetic game by Samsung. I was waiting all these days for the launch and willingness to upgrade. With just $500 for my s22u this doesn't make a sense at all to switch. S22u is so fast that any faster won't matter. It clicks good images too. With 700 plus taxes its not a worthy upgrade. Had it been around 350 usd i would have jumped into the wagon

What particularly irks me is that you get a higher trade-in discount for a previous-generation iPhone 13 Pro Max than their own Galaxy S22 Ultra. Awesome way to reward brand loyalty.
The S23 will be just like all other phones.. People will buy them. Then not long after haveing it, they will complain about how bad the camera is. Or O Samsung dropped the ball, this phone is no differnet than bla bla bla before it.. I prchase my S22 Ultra back in April of last year.. I paid in full $1400. It does what I need it to do, Call, Text, Surf, email.. That is all I need it for.. Unless the phone can do the following 1. Brush my teeth, 2. flush the toilet, or 3. cook me dinner.. I will not be purchasing a new phone until at least this one dies.
BTW Iphones are like Toyota's they hold their value.. Samsung is like American cars. Pay high price, then watch the value drop, one you leave the store.

It does what I need it to do, Call, Text, Surf, email.. That is all I need it for.. Unless the phone can do the following 1. Brush my teeth, 2. flush the toilet, or 3. cook me dinner.. I will not be purchasing a new phone until at least this one dies.
BTW Iphones are like Toyota's they hold their value.. Samsung is like American cars. Pay high price, then watch the value drop, one you leave the store.

totally agree with you, even my beloved galaxy note 7 performed very well after 4 years of use, when somebody stole it from my son, the things is, some people have unrealistic expectations about the latest premium devices, I try to get all the pertinent info before buying , I have had Sammsung devices since the S3, after, I moved to the note series, now I returned to the S, just because the ultra model is the new note
Watching this thread, looking for best deal??? Yeah, Samsung is not giving any good deals when I looked. Better yet, I have tmobile, when I went to see what trade in was for my s22 ultra was. unbelievable $150!!!!! Are they nuts??????

Yep not a very good deal on Samsung website. Even with my perkspot discount I will end up paying around $700 for 512 GB. But then I saw email from my carrier, Google Fi. They are giving me 512 GB version for $600 plus $300 trade-in value for Galaxy S22 Ultra. So, I guess it's pretty good deal for me through Fi. In the end I'll only end up paying $300.

That's why, if it still works, and if the S23 does not have anything breath taking comepared to the S22. Then why in the world would people want to get a new phone.
