I also have to admit that first couple of days battery life was meh (maybe because I was playing with it all the time) but after almost a week, the battery life has improved a lot and very happy with it overall. 

 

 

I've read that Samsung phones "learn" from your usage patterns over the first week or so, and then adjust accordingly, which then improves battery life after that first week. Sounds a little iffy, but maybe there's something in it.

They just put apps that you don't use all the time to sleep lol or that's what I understand from the "learning" stage so it doesn't drain the battery by running in the background all the time.

Looks like my PBTech order has shipped via Sub60 and will be here in 90 minutes! Pretty freaking happy about that.

Placed a third order for a device last night around 7pm, on the EPP store. 

 

S22 Ultra Black, 512GB. Free Covers were out of stock so I put the order through without anything additional.

 

Status already changed to "Preparing Dispatch". 

 

 

 

On the other hand, my order from 11th Feb hasn't changed status yet. This includes the free cover.

I've actually emailed them to request they remove the cover from my order. I'm short of cancelling my order and just placing a new one because of this. It'll probably be quicker than waiting for estore to reply to my email.

 

As per website, the specific cover will ship 17/03 only. 

 

The covers not that great either. Received a leather one for my S22Ultra, can do without it as I've also purchased more protective ones anyway.

I've just been on Live Chat with Samsung, ordered 12th February and snagged a couple of cases and a charger with the free e-voucher they let you use.

 

They said my order is delayed because of a lack of supply of a leather case and a wall charger.

 

They weren't sure when the items would be received and were unsure if they could split the order. I said I'd rather have two separate orders if it means I get my "pre-ordered" phone soon, haha!

 

I have to say, I might not have thrown in a bunch of freebies if I knew that meant the phone would be 2-4 weeks delayed.

Thanks, good to know there is stock available for 512GB burgundy, except my order was placed on 17 Feb via EPP, status still sitting at 'processing'.

Tomorrow the open sales begins, so makes me wonder if there is any difference between my 'pre-order' and open sales if mine still isn't shipped out?

There is no point emailing the online store because I know I am not going to get any response. The online chat keeps closing the chat session when I tried starting a new chat about orders.

My order was also via EPP.

You may as well head into a shop to pick one up rather than wait. The only thing you miss out on is the free leather case.
