Just pre-ordered the s23+ in Green, (never liked the square design of the ultras) to replace my Pixel 6 pro. This is my first Samsung since the Galaxy S3.
I pre-ordered going from S20+ to S23+. Honestly, I am not that excited about this phone as I think S20+ is one of the greatest phones they've produced in recent memory. By doing this "upgrade", I am losing a lot of features and options. I am still debating with myself if I should cancel the order and keep the S20+ for another year...
Here is the list of downgrades: No SD card, RAM reduced from 12GB to 8GB, No MST, lower pixel density, fewer cameras, slower wireless charging, No FM radio, and probably a few other things...
My main reasons for buying it are: bigger battery, more storage space, faster processor, and I'm worried my S20+'s battery would degrade even more as it ages...
Yep, graphite expected in 3-4 weeks, 1+8 retiring as it will only get security updates this year and the 10/11 have no released bootloop tool
Hello to replace my p7pro that I sold I bought this Monday the s23plus that I received yesterday ( Boulanger marketplace in France)
Have had mine for a few days now. Upgraded from s10+ as my battery had degraded so the phone wouldn't hold a charge.
A bit different having no buttons on the left, no headphones socket, no sdcard but I guess no modern phone has kept all these features.
Scrolling is very smooth, but otherwise I've set the phone up identically to the s10+ so I've not really noticed any difference yet.
I hope I can find a way of making the torch load by holding one of the physical buttons like I did on the s10+. (I know I can use double click on thr power button but I want that to be the camera).
Just pre-ordered the s23+ in Green to replace my S22+!
Received today.
Where are you located? Mine was shipped today, but FedEx says they won't deliver till Wednesday of next week even if it gets here sooner.
Québec, Canada. Phone was in stock in Ontario.
Samsung said they will send my phone February 8. That's what they did and received it February 10 with Fedex!
Graphite so 3 weeks wait or so

I did the same. Although design and exteriour changes are minimal, the way the S23+ performs compared with S22+ is way way better. Oh, and I can easily get 5-6h SOT whereas with my S22+(snapdragon) I never passed 4h-4.5h.
still waiting for mine from EE in UK.
Was going to get it from samsung direct but the website wouldnt allow me to cash out so thought id just do it through EE. Got a text recently saying "good news we will deliver earlier than expected" and heard nothing since.
Just pre-ordered the S23+ in Graphite
They said they had it in stock at time of purchase but are now saying up 4 week wait
EDIT: The date changed to a 7 week wait!!!
Have just cancelled and re-ordered the S23+ in Phantom Black instead.... Should be in my hands Saturday morning
Finally got mine, set it up last night and just going through all the app installations. I prefer setting them up fresh rather than from backups

Does anyone know if it's gonna be in stock again before preorders end?
Nevermind. Saw it came back earlier & got myself a 128. Cancelled my 32 really blue.

wow that's QUICK
If you see a 128GB or other model out of stock, you should sign up for the waitlist. That's how I got my preorder for a Pixel 128GB Quite Black.
I just preordered a Pixel 128GB quite black as well. Too bad the wait time for delivery is over a month
I'm glad there is a wait. I already have the Samsung s7 a. D I like the small form factor of this phone. I'm sure the pixel will fit well in the hand. I need for the camera and battery life to be on par with the S7. Waiting allows all the reviews to be done. If there good I'll keep my order, if not I'll cancel the order.
I'm hoping for the price the phone it will at least be on par with the iPhone 7. Can't wait to see.

Yeah, that is definitely a good mindset. My Nexus 6P is great, but I'm kinda disappointed that they dropped the Nexus line (I assume no future updates aside from flashing).
I just pre-ordered to be able to get it early and if the reviews don't match the hype, I figured it'd be easy to return. I was really debating to get the XL for the battery size, but I figured that software and hardware as a "Google" phone would be optimized since Google controls the process so I chose the smaller form factor. I like the smaller form factor as well, especially since the specs are primarily the same. Just worried about battery life but I guess that should be answered shortly when customers starting receiving their phone.
Ideally, I would have it early so I can sell my Nexus 6P before it's depreciation hits rock bottom.
Since the wait time is like a month on shipping, I have s question. If I out an order thru Google store, and let's say in two weeks I can find something to be shipped quicker, can I cancel that one with no hassle before it got shipped? Do you actually prepay, or they will charge only when it is shipped?
They only charge you when they process the order. When you purchase it says preorder (status of orders, are preorder, processing ,shipped, delivered).
Right before your order is ready to ship they process and charge your card. I'm not sure how to cancelling works when the order changes status but it's fairly easy to cancel when it still preorder status
Hi, it's my first day with U11.
I returned a Galaxy S8+ for a full refund because the device restart randomly and it's a common issue according to Samsung forum. The screen altough pretty had pinkish tint at both side so not perfect.
Today I received my new HTC U11 6 GB RAM edition from Hong Kong. The device is almost perfect except for a stuck pixel at the bottom of screen (see screenshot). Thankfully it's no so visible and return it from Chile to Hong Kong is a pain in the... Indeed I noted the stuck pixel because the bottom light of the screen is not uniform as some soft shadows appear (like a soft light bleed defect). It's pretty difficult to get a flagship without some type of screen flaw.
The second issue I noted is that if I'm downloading updates or any heavy usage through WiFi and I also make a call using UMTS I hear some statics in the speaker. It's the first time I heard something like this but it was also the first time these two thing happened concurrently on my smartphone.
This interference is always there if the phone is connected to a 5 ghz wifi and is more notorious if some app is using data or you're loosing the wifi signal. I think it's some type of isolation issue.
In general I'm satisfied but not 100%. At least this phone doesn't restart. Pretty impressive that in 2017 technology is not perfect or maybe I'm so strict.

If i would pay more than 600 Dollar for a mobile it must be perfect. When I pay I don't give them 500 Dollars in perfect condition and 100 Dollar cut in half. They receive all the money also in perfect condition. So it's just fair to expect the same. Congratulations for your new mobile. And i dont want to make you regret your phone but if i would see any dead pixel or any other flaw I will keep returning it till I get a perfect one.
But I understand it's like you mentioned a pain to arrange a swap from freaking Hong Kong to Chile. And was the mobile much cheaper than the prices in Chile? What made you order it from there mate?
I ordered from Hong Kong because I wanted the Asian version with 6 GB RAM and 128 GB of space. It was a little cheaper than here. The problem is that in Chile this phone will be sold only by one carrier I don't like (Claro). Anyway I received a 10% discount from the seller. The seller is very professional.
I received one device from the first batch so my next phone (maybe HTC U12) will not be from the first batch. I'll wait at least two months since release.

I actually get the same interference/static noise when making a phonecall and transferring data over wifi... anyone else get a similar issue?
Nope, although I have the 64gb version I don't have any dead pixels or issues with static while wifi is running.
The dead pixel, although annoying, does fall into the normal category for lcd. I believe it is something like 1 in 4million pixels fail and that is within the industry standard for a pass.
You can return the device as "not up to standard" but the seller has the right to refuse to do anything about it because it is within tolerance.
Beamed in by telepathy.
Just got mine from carphone warehouse UK.... booted up, and guess what... stuck (on) pixel on bottom of screen. Once seen, can't be unseen. Very noticeable in lower light.
Can't even remember the last time I bought a phone with a dud screen (might have been G5 with too much light bleed)
Returned for a refund today (all respect to CPW... no problem with the return).
Think I'll stick with my S8+ because the screen is so much better....looking off angle wasn't a joy on the U11. BUT, I must say, in the short time I had the U11 it is the smoothest phone I've ever had. Fingerprint reader runs rings around S8+. Camera is superb too (a wee bit laggy though).. so Samsung could take a leaf out of HTC's book for UI.
I always wanted a Pixel. I can get a new Pixel with 128gb internal-storage for a couple of hundred bucks. Is this phone still supported by Google for new updated?
Thank You,

They are supposed to be putting out security updates for another year, but -- right at the 2 year mark -- they did not release a monthly OS update for November.

I really love the pixel. I have had the note 8 and also have a Moto Z3 ATM and still use the pixel as my DD
Got mine on Craigslist a few weeks ago btw(128gb in great shape for 150)
Apparently, they are still planning on releasing updates for the Pixel: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78154864&postcount=18
Yeahs its worth it for sures
Yep it's a great phone if you care about software and camera in a compact package. The bezels haven't aged well but everything else is fire.
Just bought one used at $125 in good shape
I just got me and my wife one, but have to watch out for that battery. I have to replace both batteries. I like the power and speed in a compact size.
Curiosity got the best of me, wanna try that flip4 to see what is it about so, I traded my S22 vanilla for $650. Fair trade I think, I paid $799 for the S22 256GB and now adding $350 I'll have the flip, blue, also 256GB plus a free blue silicon cover. Novelty, but I'm hoping that the flip form has its pluses, small in the pocket and then: voila! got 6.7" screen. I'm also curious about that Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, supposedly no heating issues and a positive reviews about battery endurance.
Lesser camera setup comparing to S22 and that's ok, I enjoyed the S22 mostly as being a 'pocket' phone, I also have the 22U to carry around if I'm expecting to spot something interesting for photos/videos.
I also found out today, after placing my order with Samsung, that am gonna be able to pick-up the package personally, right from the BestBuy store - no more worries about unreliable/tricky Fedex deliveries.
You said it, the "small in the pocket" is what this phone has to offer. I have a Z Flip3 that I'm upgrading. I'll never go back to a brick in the pocket.
I lucked out on the announcement day by getting $900 for my current Flip3, for a blue Flip4 with 256GB and a blue case, for $99. I thought it was a great deal, and on Tuesday, August 23 I'll know for sure. ;-)
I pre-ordered the Flip 4 with a Flip 3 trade in for make value. Also picked up the watch 5 pro and buds pro 2. It was too much of a deal to pass up. My daily driver is the s22 plus. FedEx has my delivery possibly for tomorrow. The package is already at my local FedEx hub.
I really wanted the watch and new buds. I may just sell the Flip 4. Hopefully everything is delivered tomorrow.
Ordered mine 5 minutes into presales available. Said delivery would be today. Nope. Got a tracking number stating next Thursday and tracking number not even active after almost 2 days. Go figure...

Here in the US? That sucks. I ordered flip4 blue on 8/19 and picked it up at BestBuy today. The retail sales at Bb starting tue 8/30. And I was just complaining in the other thread here that the bestbuy doesn't handle trade-ins returns.
Yep, waiting in USA
I just ordered the new Pixel Tablet with 256GB. It will work nicely with my Pixel 7 Pro and replace my aging Lenovo Tab 4 8 plus.
$599 with the dock, less the $200 credit from my P7P purchase last October.
Delivery is June 20.
Is anyone getting one?
Hi,
Defintely want to get one to match with my P7P but I am wondering about the stylus functionalities though.
I saw in the caracteristics of the Pixel Tablet that it supports USI2.0 but I don't know that much this standard.
Anybody knows anything about how that'll work? Anything comparable to what Samsung does?
Thanks
I ordered one arriving on the 20th too. Haven't had an Android tablet in a long time and looking forward to blocking ads which makes my iPad so annoying.
Hope it's just like my P7 Pro with a bigger screen
Just got a notice that my Pixel tablet will be delivered tomorrow. Too bad that I am out of town until Friday.
That sucks, however, you've got another thing to look forward to upon your return. Mine came today and I'm setting it up now. New factory image posted, as well.

Are you going to root? Glad the factory image is up in case I bork it.
Did anyone have delays in their order? I have a vacation coming up and they claim to be delivering at the day before.
mine was shipped "overnight delivery"
