No charge for cancelling, just dont call them to do it, they can’t. Either email their estore or log into your samsung account and do it.

Just a note that although more 'stock' has been added to the website, the new shipping date has changed to first week of March, so anyone wanting to cancel orders please take note of that. It shows the new shipping date when you checking out. Not 24/02 anymore.

Just an FYI, the Samsung in-store kiosk also do the "$200 off" similar to how you would use the code "GALAXYS22" online, just have to ask them. So if online is "out of stock" for the pre-order bonuses, check your local kiosk/store in the mall etc. they might have some left and you get them straight away if products thats has been released like the watches/buds. Only downside is you dont get the 5% rewards rebate instore vs online estore (60-100ish saving)

Take this with a grain of salt, but given the chip shortage its possible

That 100x zoom is pretty great. Took a photo of the as in the shop and I couldn't even see the text that was readable in the photo. Probably says more about my eye sight than the camera 😁

Really surprised all the shop have them so quickly after the announcement. There was a lot of people checking them out too. Thinking black for us but the white is much nicer than I thought it would be.

Green appears to be a popular option people are going for that goes out of stock on Samsung EPP store.

Real world battery drain test, all 3 x S22 versions and iPhone 13s

https://youtu.be/5WsmCkZ80i4

Introduction etc is in a foreign language so might want to start watching from 0:47 and then fast forward if you like.

brownie112: Real world battery drain test,

Looking at something to replace my aging OnePlus 7T that's developing a big issue, I was looking at 512GB Ultra, although the $300 jump from 256 to 512 is a little steep, will probably still do it anyway... but I tell you what, that little S22 is a bit of a trooper in a battery test, huh?

Interesting that the 22 outdoes the + that has 800mah more in the tank. The screens bigger but it's not driving anymore pixels, I'm not sure how that works lighting wise as each pixel is is own light source so it should get better screen time. Only thing I can think is the + was brighter as it does have a higher maximum brightness.

Annoying I literally decided to go for the plus for the battery tonight and got my order in and now I'm doubting that decision. Think I've got until Monday to cancel and rebuy. Theres actually a code for the buds when you put them in the basket to get $70 off which means you can sneak in a case and 25w charger and still not spend anything.

Also with knowing you can just make the out of stock bundles, they are out of stock as the black earbuds are gone, seems to be set up a bit silly with the stock indicators being based on the default colour choices.

Im sure that one is fake and clickbait, the size between the s22,+ and s22u seems way off, the s22 is nearly as big is the ultra, it also heavily disliked (i have the chrome dislike addon to get the dislike count back) lmao.

Only legit so far i would say is this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVJolTDruoY posted earlier, basically S22+>s22u>s22 but its only benchmark and not real-world scenarios, so might not be very representative, but it does give some sort of baseline, also model number checks out

Haha good catch!

I couldn't see the number of "dislikes" at all, thanks for the addon information, I have just added it to my Chrome as well. Any way to see this while on the mobile app?

anyone here has a note 20 ultra daily?

i don't see why i "need" the s22 ultra (yes i "want" it lol) - it's the same thing but with 3 & 10x optical zoom but heavier and no expandable storage

*sigh

maybe a youtube comparison might assist me ... i can't see any difference
