**** The Official Samsung Galaxy S23 Family Thread ****

[relax24]

I've ordered the memumi case. It's 0.33mm.

It's a tad expensive (£12ish) but it'll do until the cheaper Chinese versions appear on the market for a few £ each

Is it only white or black? Anything that's actually clear?

I'm not sure how somebody with 11 posts is going to receive their handset before me.

If you could see my current phone (s20 fe) with cracked telephoto lens, a hairline crack on the front right in the middle, screen burn and a wonky charging port... You'd probably let me go first out of pity.

Don't get drunk at the cricket, kids.

Any advice on how to remove it?

Maybe the debloaters that have been around. Never personally used them.

Just white and black at the minute. You do sometimes get more colours etc once the device has been out a while and shipments from China are over and people are flogging them on the bay

I always debloat my Samsung phones which can have a great impact on battery.

Trick is not to be too aggressive and look at what you are removing, there will be one for S23 soon but most of these will be valid.

Debloat LISTS - S22 Ultra Series

Hey everyone, figure i start a thread on apps/etc that can be safely disabled, so that we can dial on on removing needless junk from our phones. I am currently running a Snapdragon S22 Ultra, SM-S908U 512GB (AT&T variant) so my list may vary...

I didn't get one of those emails but just got an email and notification from DPD that they are expecting it

A tad expensive? considering the price of the phone, £12 is just a drop in the ocean .. I like the idea relax24 mentioned about a transparent one though, will look out for one once my phone arrives.

True. But the non branded ones can be picked up for like £3-£5 and they'll appear over the next few weeks/months.

Just glad there's one out there from the off to use!

I wasn't sure how to react to this, but saw your embarrassing post count and realise it was a joke now

Joke too, but I hope you can tear yourself away from computers and wi/fi chat to actually use this new phones high quality camera's

Sincerely dude, enjoy your new phone, looking fwd to mine

Im also considering a case but I'm not sure if I should geta slim fit or something with slight bumpers

Ringke Fusion vs Ringke Fusion-X vs Ringke Fusion Bumper Case or some other brand

Will the extra bumpers help with the protection ?

I've finally had the email from dpd saying they are expecting my parcel.

I've ordered the phone, watch and tag. So not sure its all one package or not.

 

[HadiBang]

Just got an email from DPD expecting my parcel soon, I ordered on the 2nd for the 14th as that was the earliest day, so a lot of u will still get emails up until midnight probably

 

[relax24]

You also get a delayed email from Samsung after the DPD email and it states what's in that particular delivery. For me it went Samsung screen protector, USB and then finally the phone

So are the usb sticks the cheapest accessories you can buy?

 

[wsh]

I got an email from Samsung to say my graphite S23+ is being delivered from tomorrow.

Then an email 2 hours later to say they're customising my Z-Fold (which I didn't order) and because of that the graphite S23+ is going to take 3 weeks to be delivered.

Then an email an hour later from DPD to say they're expecting my Samsung parcel.

I log into my account is it says 'processing'.

The £11 one is AFAIK

What is the best back up tool to use, to back up your phone to the pc ?

I used FreeFileSYnc

 

[One 48]

Downloaded FreeFileSYnc just now, thanks, but what about wiping my old phone that is a Samsung Galaxy S20 as it will be a trade in once my new S23 Ultra arrives?

Perhaps FreeFileSYnc can wipe my old phone too?

 

[kefan77]

so, what's the agreement on screen protector and case? i'm thinking
screen protector - samsung's own in 2 pack (is tauri releasing something for s23u?)
case - something from spigen maybe? i was looking at dbrand, as i used that with s22u, but $50? no thanks
