I'm sure you could get the buds before the phone was delivered for the last few years. You need a serial number, IMEI and proof of purchase. I'm sure those details were in an email they sent after ordering.

Edit. Just looked at emails from last year and Samsung and the buds were added to the invoice and sent without having to do anything, I'm sure previous years you had to claim them at https://2021.samsungpromotions.claims/galaxylaunchoffers/en-GB/qualifying

Yup I didn't get any emails after ordering apart from Finance, I would have thought I would have got an order confirmation, might just be because I've done it on the weekend.

I'm not in a rush my phone won't come until mid March, it is more that I expected some follow up comms related to the order, like a reciept, info on how to claim etc, rather than nothing at all.

I ordered yesterday using klarna credit and got a confirmation from Samsung. Doesn't mention anything about the pre order extras though.

Ditto. Just confirms the order made. No additional details on the orders page either. Just says my delivery will be on 12th March and that it is "Processing"

Stupid question, but there's no RPI if you get it on 0% monthly finance directly from Samsung?

RPI? do you mean a possible price increase over the term of the finance, no there is no increase in loan rates over the term.

Thought so just wasn't sure they weren't pulling a sneaky.

Yeah I got a order confirmation email after placing the pre-order which made me laugh.....Email Headed: Get Ready For Your Galaxy Fold!

WTF.
Thankfully its the correct order for a 256GB Graphite S22 Ultra.

I traded in a Note 9, for £330. Cant grumble at that.

Some positive Exynos news, it might not perform better than SD but is more stable and thottles less.

I'm sure I saw a review on YouTube that mentioned a big update was planned to boost the new Exynos RDNA chipset.
No idea what will materialise though.

Another good camera demo. Overall its showing impressive performance so far. The iPhone for all its praise is pretty hit and miss.

Very happy with my pre-order after watching this. It's going to be a mammoth upgrade in the camera department for my S10+.

kefan77 · 14 Feb 2022 at 01:15

Still undecided. On S20 currently.
Had a play with with all 3 versions today. S22 is super compact, but have woes about battery, why did they make it smaller? S22Plus has ideal size, but then why settle with it, when not that much more buys you ultra. I don't really like the squared note-like design as it's less comfortable to hold imho, but case will take care of that. But at the same time I want the best camera. couldn't care less about the s-pen.

Can get them effectively for 150 (regular S22) 350 (Plus) 550 (Ultra), after all the trade ins and incentives. the question is, are the step ups worth it? i upgraded annually since S5, but S21 was first where i felt the existing is good enough, in fact S21 was a downgrade.

I'll also be over the pond shortly, so can pick up SD version if it proves much better? but the comparison reviews between SD/EX variants on battery life, throttling, camera performance are nowhere to be seen yet.
I really want to put my order in, just unsure for which version.
