Pardon me asking but what are you carrying around in your phone that takes up so much storage?

Wouldn’t it be better to have big stuff like movies in another dedicated storage device?

I’ve managed to put tempered glass on both my previous s22u and s23u, albeit they are more pricey because of the UV process.

A rhapsody MagEz Case 3 for my s23 ultra!

It’s not very often you come across a case that is so paper thin, has magsafe, and also feel sturdy.

At 82% yeah, I would consider changing too. But with all 3rd party replacements, it’s a gamble on how good the part actually is.

Samsung tends to release the new S series around February past few years, so I’d reckon it’ll be the same again.

It has to be a charger with 45w PPS and a cable rated for 5A. Only then will you get Super Fast Charging 2.0.

Best to get Samsung’s official charger to be safe.

But honestly 25W PPS chargers take almost the same time to charge and is easier to find.

As long as your Canadian carrier uses bands that are supported by your phone, it’ll work.

As for battery, that’s up to you. I personally wouldn’t trust a cheap battery replacement in my personal phone.

There could be some debris stuck inside the usbc port. Try to use something (not sharp) to clean the inside or blow into it to hopefully get whatever inside to come out.

There is also a chance that your port could legitimately be damaged/faulty. A small chance but a chance nonetheless.

Why would Google ever want to do this? There’s no benefit for them.

Most glass screen protectors will have this effect. It’s just physics. Film protectors fair much better.

One way to minimise the effect is to re-do your fingerprints. It helps to a certain degree.

No, it’s not normal for battery life to drop after a few months. It’s never normal on any modern smartphone. Idk where you would have heard something like that and why you would believe it.

There is undoubtedly another issue that’s causing your battery life to fall dramatically, but it’s very difficult to diagnose the issue over the Internet. It could be a strange app you downloaded that’s doing shady things in the background, a virus, an update gone wrong somewhere, faulty battery, the list is endless.

Resetting could help as it gives the phone a chance to start from scratch. But depending on the root cause, it may also do nothing.

Promotional prices aren’t valid for trade-ins.

I don’t understand the confusion. 1349 is the promotional pricing before any trade-in. 1599 is the price with a trade-in.

With a trade-in, the promotional price ceases because it’s no longer “before any trade-in”. I’m sure it’s in the t&c somewhere. The phrasing “pricing before trade-in” makes me believe that the price would not be the same with a trade-in.

Is it potentially misleading? Yes.

Is it spelt out to you once you input the necessary information? Also yes.

It’s just another marketing thing.

I don’t get it, in your pictures it doesn’t say that those phones are valued at $1000? It just states that the maximum trade in value they are offering is $1000 but never specifically mentioned the s23u or zfold 4.

Have you tried contacting Samsung support, they may know something.

And then after you fill those up?

What shows up on screen when you try to update it?

You can’t. Just update it or live with it, that’s the only way.
