Again? Did you sell like I did and regret it :oops:

I can get a discount through my perks at work and the £200 cash back, plus the buds pro 2 (altho they are a couple of weeks out for delivery).

Massive dilemma now, do I once again buy and admit I was a fool for selling in the first place, or do I hold out and see if better offers come along, OR just wait it out until the S24 Ultra next years. Ahhhhhh the agony of choice!!!
Yep. There’s a long time until the s24 releases. Even then could part ex the s23 in if needs be

I'm actually going to hold off at the moment, I see that the Nothing 2 will be announced on July 11th. I will see what that is all about.

Yeah, really the only issue I have with duplicate apps is the Photos app. IMO, that's the only duplication that actually affects the user experience in a negative way because I feel like I need to use both for different things and sometimes it becomes cumbersome to keep up with both.

Otherwise I either disable or ignore the other duplicates.

is the 2X zoom great quality when taking pictures in normal mode (not portrait in other words). Samsung typically improve their cameras with software updates over time.
I haven't had a chance to test it yet. Is assume it's on par but probably just a step down from the 1x and 3x.

Setting up my sparkling new lavender S23 Ultra is taking longer than I had anticipated however I have to admit Samsung do a swell job of data transfer from iPhone.
Ohh you got the lavender, is it actually purple or is it pink looking? I really can’t tell from YouTube videos. In one video it looks purple, in others it looks pink. Does look nice from what I’ve seen tho, im just not sure as a guy I’d like it in person 🤣

Its a weird one.. the colour. I wouldn't have considered lavender if the deal I got wasn't colour specific.

The colour changes from lilac to light pink to almost off white depending on the ambient lighting. I think I like it though. It will be in an all covering black case anyway. Hehe.

£808 for the 512GB was worth the colour compromise.

Ah ok, I think I remember you telling me about that deal on Amazon? the one with the Chrome book that you can return.

What is wrong with pink for guy? Nothing wrong with pink.

Although I do like purple better. Too bad Samsung didn't make a true purple color as it probably would have been more popular.

The phone is worth getting any color for a decent discount though!

Enjoy it!

Nothing against pink. I just prefer everything matte black in my tech collection. Price was too enticing though for lavender.

After reading this thread I just checked and saw that the June update was available now on my Unlocked S23U on AT&T.

I just installed it. Going to do a full factory reset tonight and set it up fresh. I always like to get a fresh wipe after a major update.

Samsung can not be faulted on their discounts. I have just brought the S23 Ultra in Cream, blue Light card discount, a further £200 off, the free Buds Pro 2, the Smart view wallet case and 15W Super Fast Wireless Charger Pad with 15% off the total.

Samsungs offerings are insane
