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

[LadFromWales]

Be very nice for you of they do but as they've already honoured a deal for the Ultra at Plus pricing. Is the 512GB price you're mentioning also for the 512GB Plus?
The guy on chat misquoted you for the 256 Ultra with Plus pricing so...good luck!

Yeah it's giving me a time slot now so I should have it in hand by the time I get in after work

Jell, looking to be tomorrow for me!
What you got coming?

 

[e36Adz]

Sure you said 256 was fine anyway

I never said such a thing!

 

[LadFromWales]

256GB is enough for everyone!
No idea what people are keeping on their phones that they need more.
I don't bother keeping all of my photos and videos on my phone, as they need to be backed up in the event the phone dies, gets lost etc. Though I don't tend to delete them over time either, they'll stay until I factory reset, or sell it!
Perhaps living in a cave with no 4G or 5G coverage, and no WiFi, just popping out to update playlists once in a while?!

Anyone using the buds they sent?

I'm getting major lip sync issues lag on YouTube.

Not tested on the ultra but another phone. No issues, I actually am impressed by the buds pro.

Clean balanced sound, respond well to EQ. Decent noise cancellation and a good mic for calls. Dinky too.

Mine have been fine, quite liking them actually. I did have a lipsync issue the other day with YouTube on my Sony headphones though. A restart fixed it

Any other costs? That's only £1242.80, less than the phone cost!
You get friends and family is it?

 

[e36Adz]

Yep, that includes a 30% friends and family discount which has been on my account for a few years. £81 is the actual monthly cost but adjusted to £71 a month - the price I was quoted when ordering the 256gb model, and then reduced by 30%.

 

[LadFromWales]

Nice! Got a good deal there then!

I used to get 40% discount with EE due to working for a third party...I don't get that any more

I'd probably bite their hand off at the price you've got it though! I guess I won't be that far off with £165 with £39 a month plus a cheap SIM though!

 

[e36Adz]

Received my order confirmation text and if I click on the link I can see they've put it through as a 'Back-Order'. Does this mean I've not been placed at the back of the queue, does it make any difference at all? Fingers crossed for next week then because the case and screen protectors are all here.

If you shake your S22 Ultra does it rattle? Mine sounds like its got something loose inside.

ignore, its the zoom lens that rattles. Normal apparently. Something to do with image stabilization.

 

[something daft already!!]

I think that's the camera zoom lens. The s20 ultra did the same.

 

[Biffa]

Yeah just watched a vid on it

Just an update, my delivery today was actually only the watch, but it is a Galaxy Watch 4 with its own phone number though you can pair it with your main one to take calls.

Phoned up EE and my 512GB Black Ultra is going to be another 7 days or so for delivery. Will keep watch in box till S22 ultra arrives as unpairing them from older phone can be a pain on EE's advice.

They 100% confirmed my plan will not get a price increase until April 2023 as I made sure to double check that. New contracts just before this increase are not subject to it - existing contracts are subject to it according the agent.

So still around a week for delivery even on less popular black, green would be 2 weeks, but had white or burgundy ready for next day delivery. In no rush so will stick to the black.

I can definitely see the point in switching up to 512GB during early order process like I did, but 256GB is still a great option as well. Samsung have bought out a new super fast USB C drive for extra storage if ever needed. Likely will pick up one of these as well at some stage.

So they remove the SD card slot & then sell a usb - c drive separately. Very apple like

Back order just means it's not in stock and will need to be ordered in, so you'll have been placed in the queue.

You'll have to wait longer, but if it makes you happy

Also if you could all stop banging on about your 512GB models I regret not going for it, who knows maybe speeds are faster on 512 Vs 256! I'm sure I'll forget all about it once I get my phone though!

True, but in mitigation it's a lot faster transfer speed than SD slots, I'd still much rather have an SD slot as well.

LadFromWales the 256GB is still great IMO, not like it's a faster phone at 512GB, just basic extra storage that removing the SD has made more tempting.

 

[LadFromWales]

Yeah I know, but when I had so much time to think about it after ordering 6 weeks ago it gives you lots of time to overthink it. If it come after days I'd not have even thought about it!

My last phone l, Xperia 5ii, had 128GB storage and mSD slot, never had a card installed!

SD is nice but it's hugely slow compared to UFS 3.1!

Trying to change my order and go for the 512GB as I’m off work until Monday and be nice to have a play around with it and it’s £5 more a month than I would be paying for 256gb so that’s £68 a month for 512GB unlimited calls, txts and 100Gb data although for £70 I could upgrade every year with the 256GB decisions decisions
