**** The Official Samsung Galaxy S22 Family Thread ****

It's on every email you get from Klarna at the top it says order no: (8 character code)

Samsung have also sent 2 or 3 emails over the last few weeks about the upcoming upgrade which has the number in too.

The page is currently not working very well.
Cheers mate, that's the one I'm trying at the top of the "Thank you for your payment" emails

I suspect the website is just overloaded and that error is their way of coping with it haha
 
Ordered the green Ultra one in 256gb , decent trade in for my s21 ultra for £570.

If they've fixed the poor night/bad light photography that plagued the s21 ultra I'm happy with this. Will sell the buds as I already have a pair from last year.

Will probably sell my Pixel 6 pro as that's been a big disappointment especially with the latest update breaking Wifi on mine.

Overall a good solid phone and nice to have the Note form factor, just hope the Eyxnos and battery behave nicely like they have on the S21 ultra compared to the s20
 
I'm going for a Graphite - the longer leadtime should give some time for reviews to be released. If they're terrible then I'll just cancel the order!

These queues on the website are really annoying though - just sat in one for 18 mins now to be told I'm in another one after skipping on accessory choices...grrrr!
 
I was interested in the S22 5G as it's just a tad shorter than my S20 5G but when I compared the specs.... Well consider me out.

Disappointing to see that the battery has dropped capacity to 3700mAh, the storage options remain limited to 256GB max and no SD, the RAM is only 8GB vs the S20 5G's 12GB so expect lots of app reloading. I currently see 4GB RAM free so on an S22 there would be no spare RAM free in the same context which means Android would be forgetting app positions etc to free up enough RAM to operate effectively.

Things I do like, the improved camera and lens setup, the frosted glass back.

Shame about the actual phone specs being a downgrade over the S20 5G though.

I need at least 512GB internal storage to pull me away from the 512GB SD card setup I have now. S20 will remain with me for another year it would seem.

Absolutely pointless.

Edit* Words.

I got it on an email the other day

I cant get an order placed though, when going through the checks I end up with a message saying Sorry I cant pay with Klarna
Out of interest (to see why I didn't get an email), what date did you order (what I assume was) your S21?

Was surprised it's that little bit smaller but pathetic battery size. The Xiaomi 12 has a 4500mah battery. The S22+ is a little smaller than 7T so may give that a go.
 
Yup, all I want is the S22's camera in the S20 housing with the same battery size and SD card slot. I guess that's too much to ask for!

14/01/21 on release

I have just received another email saying upgrade window is open

Unfortunately I've hit an issue. My Klarna details were to an old bank account that I closed/transferred, the switching service has moved the direct debit but Klarna still has the old account by default, I clicked though expecting to be able to add another account or payment details but it looks like my credit check has failed.

I have now updated my bank details in Klarna now but the Klarna check still fails, I'm going to have to wait a few days and try again :mad:
 
Well Ive just tried to pre-order the S22 Ultra...got stuck in a queue and with 3 minutes left and 900 people in front of me I got kicked out for no reason. 2nd time now and it says 82 minutes and 4800 people in front me. :mad:

Ah makes sense, cheers

I vaguely remember messing about and cancelling / changing colour that year, so my order was 04/02/2021 - will have to wait a few more days I guess as maybe it isn't bang on 12 months yet

EDIT: Actually doesn't make sense, order date is 14 Jan, the email I was checking was 'order completed' on Feb 4 (probably when it was delivered or shortly after)
