I should have made it clear a few weeks ago that the above models are for Korea.  US variant still does not list n70 (1695-1710Mhz).

US Variants:

https://fccid.io/A3LSMS911U   

https://fccid.io/A3LSMS916U

https://fccid.io/A3LSMS918U  

Factory unlocked is included in above (U1)

credit u/WF71 for finding the US variant 18 days ago.

Surprised this thread hasnt been more lively.  Anyone else get this phone?  I preordered the ultra with the great tmobile deal for it.  I am hoping it is as amazing as my S20+ is.  The S20 was probably the best phone I have ever had.and its specs still seem to hold up against most other phones even in the last 3 years.

I preordered the S23 Ultra. T-Mobile didn't give me squat for deals. Apparently since I'm not on a Max plan, there were no discounts and they wouldn't even let me trade in my phone. Went through Best Buy with a $400 trade in for my S21 Ultra. Thought the trade in would be better, but whatever. Had $200 in BB credits I used too. Can't wait to pick it up next Friday. My S21 Ultra has been fantastic, have absolutely loved the camera on it, but starting to feel the battery life. Especially under 25%, it just crashes super fast.

weird.  I am on Advantage Premium (what became of SERO) they gave me $1000 for my S20+.  that brings the ultra down to $8 and change per month.  i could have gotten the + for free but i was in a tough spot.  the + is a bit smaller than the S20+ and the ultra is a bit bigger (and heavier). i hope i dont regret the decision as I really did not want to end up in phablet territory but here i am.

Actually, looks like it has shipped and it will be here monday.

I see the "up to $1,000 off" deal when I log into my account, but it says on "eligible Sprint Max plans." When I click it, all I get is the full price phone and no option to trade in my device. Really annoying. Oh well. Paid in full at BB so won't have a monthly payment to deal with. Just no early shipping for me as BB would only allow me to do store pickup for some reason.

I believe it's pretty much the same size as the S21 Ultra, which after a week stopped feeling so huge. I think you'll like the pone once you get it!

my preorder shipped. fedex says expected delivery on monday. im trading in my s21u for the s23u though samsung and i got the unlocked.
although the carrier deals are enticing, they are giving it through 2 year credits. I dont like to be tied down to the phone like that.

my other lines are waiting until after the phone release for better trade in value for their s22u s.
thats how we never pay full retail price of the phone but that means each person have to use money every year to get a new phone. lol

I biggest issue I have noticed with earlier phones is the permissions sometimes need to be manually set for Signalcheck Pro before it will work.  Is that your problem or something more serious? (What is the SCP issue you are having?)

I just pre-ordered the S23 today thru the MySprint app, trading in my paid off S21 (says I will get $400 off).

Anyone get theirs yet?  Impressions?

And just got shipped email.  Says will be here Wednesday

Impressions so far?

So, got my regular S23 yesterday.  So far, so good.  No issues activating in Sprint billing.  It's speedy.  But overall, I upgraded from S21 for the SA 5G carrier aggregation ( should be able to do 4x now). 

As always, I love the design of the phone.

Ordered day 1`from Best Buy but can't pick up til tomorrow. Setting my alarm haha

Only took over two hours at the store but finally got the phone. Their system wouldn't accept the trade in and kept trying to cancel the order. Ended up cancelling and processing the phone and trade in separately and then thankfully matched the pre-order deal. Activation was as simple as it's ever been, just popped in the sim and it transferred over. 

 

Still getting used to the sharp corners, and I have no idea what to do with the pen, but otherwise first impressions are pretty good! Nice to see SA n25, though it's still not available here.

My phone has been rebooting randomly all day. I'm on my 10th or 12th restart now. It's doing it all on its own, not seeing any crash messages or anything like that. Is it trying to install something or do I have a bad device? Very confused as to what is happening.

Does it still reboot when in safe mode?

Power on your device in Safe mode:
  1. Power off your device.
  2. Power on your device.
  3. When the Samsung logo appears by itself, press and hold the Volume down key.
  4. The device will switch on in Safe mode. "Safe mode" will be displayed on the bottom left of the screen.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
