Samsung upgrade programme - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion

Is anyone going to move from s8 plus to s9 plus on the upgrade programme ? Will the note be included in this if you wait ?

I will stick with my s8+ for now

I'm not sure if the Note line is included if you have an S line device; it shouldn't matter since when you give back your S8+, your contract is terminated and a new one initiated. However they might be applying a Galaxy S to Galaxy S policy, and a Note to Note policy. Your best bet is to call in and ask.

I was going to preorder the s9 plus but the order page only shows the 128gb storage option which makes the phone cost over £860
I'm on the upgrade programme already, got a email today saying get the phone a week early but it doesn't make it clear if this is for people already on the upgrade programme or for new signups.

ONE DAY ONLY: $49.99 Galaxy S3 available from Best Buy on December 16: All Carriers!

"In case you still haven’t purchased a Galaxy S3, the best-sold Android handset to date and one of Samsung’s 2012 flagship products, you may want to do so tomorrow, as Best Buy is ready to offer you the device for just $49.99.
This isn’t the first time Best Buy is discounting the Galaxy S3, and just like before, the deal will be available for a limited time – in this case just this Sunday.
Naturally, in order to take advantage of the deal, you’ll still have to sign a new two-year agreement with the carrier of your choice – in this case either Verizon, AT&T, Sprint or T-Mobile. What’s worth noticing is that this time around, Best Buy’s Galaxy S3 deal is available with any of the four main U.S. mobile operators.
While Android fans are already talking about the Galaxy S4, the Galaxy S3 is still a great handset and definitely a great Christmas present, despite being just six months old, which is a lot in Android time
Are you buying the Galaxy S3 from Best Buy tomorrow, or are you looking for a different Android Christmas deal?"

Wish they carried tmo, I'm at bestbuy right now waiting for them to open.
Update: T-Mobile White S3 for $49.99 purchase successful

Galaxy S6 Pre Order Date(s)!

Another T Mobile hint. Recently T Mobile posted their new promotion of a one year subscription of Netflix with the purchase of a Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 Edge on their registration page, and in the fine print it said that it must be purchased starting March 27th, giving us the pre order date for at least T Mobile!
This serves as further evidence that we might actually get in store models at BestBuy on the 27th!
SideNote: It also is on the Samsung promotion page for Netflix.
I hope the GS6 edge will be available to pre order from T-Mobile in GOLD because if it is, it's mine

Offers included with samsung galaxy s8

Hello guys! I just bought samsung galaxy s8!
In my galaxy app, I got Tumi back cover worth 60$ for free!
Also I got 100gb space on OneDrive!
Are there any other offers with any apps or accessories I can use with s8?
The Verizon S8+ comes with two or three offers that I know of and have redeemed. One is a $250 prepaid Visa card you get through Samsung Pay for setting up your account. You get points added which you can use for the Visa card or anything else you prefer, I believe. The other is a free Mophie JuicePak, which, IIRC, you get when signing into Samsung+ and registering your device. Oh, and 2GB bonus data, though I don't remember where I got that. And there's one more, though I wouldn't call it "free;" you can get a "free" tablet, but you have to pay sales tax and stuff. Whomp whomp whomp.

iPhone 7 + $50 for the S8 seems fair to me given that the retailers are offering $300 off towards the S8 when trading in an iPhone 7.
my advice though is to buy the S8 from best buy (if you are in the US) to get their $350/off promo, then sell your iPhone 7 on swappa for $350. That should cover the cost for getting your new phone.

Galaxy Note 20 Ultra - UK Pre Orders

OK Good people what did you order?
I went with the Ultra 256Gb Mystic White.
Bit disappointed at the lack of decent colours but it is what what it is.
So what did you order?
Just gotta wait til 21 August - Here we go again.
In Ireland I pre ordered the 256GB mystic bronze. Trading in my S20 Ultra towards it.
256GB in black here.
512gb bronze for me
I pre-ordered mine during the unpacked event. I am using the Samsung Upgrade Programme to upgrade from the Note10+ 5G. The process with Klarna and Samsung was very smooth. Getting the Black 512GB and chose the buds for the 'free' gift. They did not let me select a colour so I would assume they will send out the bronze ones as shown in the photo? Maybe they will send matching ones with the note colour that I chose.
There are some missing details here, but Samsung's UK website suggest that we are getting the Hybrid Dual SIM model. Which means 2 physical SIMs or 1 physical SIM and a microSD card, plus unlimited(?) eSIMs. It sounds great.
We are also missing the full band list for modem connectivity. It'll definitely work in the UK, but good to know as we are expecting more 5G bands to be used in the UK and perhaps travelling to other countries (yes, I know quite difficult in the current circumstances, but it might just happen).
ultra 256gb in white also ordered Watch 3 45mm in silver and 41mm in Bronze for the wife so nearly £2k spent
Where are people trading in their S20 Ultra? I tried Samsung direct, but its not in the listed devices for me?
It's on the trade in list on the Irish Samsung website. Just double check again.
Annual UK Note crowd I see I'm in! Note 20 Ultra ordered. Looking for a good carbon case.

Glad Someone got their email fine. I want to move to the note 20 but somehow Samsung has ****ed up my date for upgrading which is annoying some how.
I been upgrading to the new note since the Note 8 and been upgrading every august once it was announced at the unpacked event and this year some how my date had moved like under 2 months from when I got the note 10 (pre ordered on the 7th August through the upgrade program and gotten the phone on the 21st and according to their site for me bizarrely that equated to upgrade on the 30th September 2020).
The shop was useless and said it might arrive towards the end of August but can see I am up date with payments. I did post on the forum and one of the mods asked for my agreement number so they can look into it and hopefully they can resolve it as with the note 9 and 10 we originally had sweet fa on pre order bonuses and the one time they finally give something they had to **** up my date and stop me from doing my pre order I had always done in august.
The Camera I was more interested in getting the upgrade for but disappointed they kept their processor and the same one in the S20 and wish for the UK they went the SD 865+.

It seems like anyone selecting the ear buds as a gift will get the bronze colour by default. Oh well...

I got an email a few days before the event telling me that my window opens on the 5th of August. Then I ordered during the event. Got several emails to confirm the loan with Klarna and order with Samsung. Later in the evening I got an email reminding me about the window, which was probably automated as the confirmation email about the order from Samsung includes an item called 'Samsung Upgrade Welcome Back' and I had to answer questions about the condition of my current Note 10+ 5G (which was recognised automatically) while placing the order.

Usually I would of gotten an email saying your upgrade window is open but this year I put my agreement in and it said I have until 30th September which also one of the mods found odd. Just hope they get it sorted in time for me to upgrade.

Yup and we also get the exynos and we buy it knowing full well it will throttle and then we mourn. Us Brits are a special lot though aren't we and Sammy knows it ?.
Woo hoo. Just pre ordered my Note20 Ultra which is my first ever Note. I have been a big Android user since the HTC Magic, but my last Samsungs were S3 and Galaxy Nexus back in the day. Since then I have had every generation of the Nexuses and Pixels with a few Onepluses thrown in for good measure. This year however I just fancied something different but stacked with features so I'm returning to Samsung after 8 years away. Hope I made the right choice!

I jumped from the S3 to Note10+ 5G last year and I am really enjoying it, so also upgrading to Note20 Ultra 5G this year. In the meantime I was away from Android for years.
I'm sure it'll be a good experience for you.
