As the title suggests, I know there are online and offline stores where the price comes around 1 - 1.1L ,

I have a note 9 with screen issue and some physical but working perfectly not sure if i can exchange this, but open to that as well,

also open to the idea of getting from abroad [usa, ca, dubai] as long we get warranty in india.

What is the cheapest S23 Ultra you've purchased? From where can I get a cheap S23 Ultra with Indian warranty?

@omega44-xt what price range do you think can be expected in this upcoming sale?

1.1L is common for S23U with coupon & card offers. So I except it to be lower than that, maybe 1L base price over which offers will apply. Time will tell.

Another question you need to ask yourself is if you need S23U. I will say its a waste of money for most, get S23+ instead IMO. Most won't use stylus or 10x zoom cam much anyways. S22+ fell to as low as 55-60k with offers last year briefly in the big sales. So you can potentially save a lot of money.

Do not consider S22 line up or Pixel because of inefficient SoC.

Makes sense.

I saw some listings in dubai for around 75k from Amazon dubai and other sites, would a purchase from there be worth it?

Am I missing something!!

India has higher taxes, that's all. Pretty common to potentially get stuff cheaper in Middle East or USA.

Your call, if you want to risk no warranty + different OS version. Like my Galaxy S8 is the US version, it never got the VoLTE update for India.

I'll rather buy S23+ in India than get S23U from US/Middle East. So, your call.

got it,
but s23U and s23+ the price difference is barley 10k at the moment, would you still choose s23+ if this is the case?

Where are you seeing 10k difference? It is 20k.

For 10k extra, more like at 10% extra cost, can consider S23U over S23+. As I said, I expect some good discounts on S23 & S23+ on BBD/GIS sales next month.

S23U is close to 110k, S23+ at under 90k but OOS now (w/o exchange offers).

I saw a similar listing on amazon, not their main sellers. Might be imported unit.

Yes I thought so too, but it says indian unit in flipkarts FAQ and show's that it has warranty in description.

If you are willing to live with no warranty & no Indian OS, then good for you. Example of latter - my S8 (US model) never got update to support VoLTE in India.

Everything is working out of the box. Volte, UPI, Banking apps. just change CSC to INS for call recording. That's it. You don't even need to unlock bootloader. OTA updates are coming. Both UAE and India are OXM firmwares. I am not sure about US.

Only warranty is missing. But the price I got it, even a screen replacement will have a low TCO in India. 75k in India, 48 K in Dubai.

I don't think that Samsung provides an international warranty. But they have come up with Samsung Care+, which covers international warranty. So, if you travel abroad and something happens to your phone, it can be repaired once you are back.

You have to make minimum 10 mins call with a local SIM to get the mobile working outside UAE. I changed the CSC to INS to get call recording enabled.
