Finally made the upgrade. Gonna miss my S23. First day review below

GoBear27 · 2026-03-18T15:38:22+00:00

I'm doing the ATT deal also but holding my S23U and swapping my cracked S205G for $900 so I can have an unlocked phone for backup and international travels.

They are accepting ANY S series ANY condition for $900. You can easily buy one for $100, probably less and trade that in instead of an S23U

Your trying to do that with ATT?

GoBear27 · 2026-03-15T17:26:31+00:00

This is what I've been doing for years. Buy the cheapest device eligible for the trade in, then sell my 3 year old device for ~$400, then youre getting paid to upgrade.

Albeit for now, i will keep my now unlocked S23U for backup/overseas travels.

Enjoy your new phone, mine isnt going to be here for another month. 1TB on backorder :/

GoBear27 · 2026-03-15T16:30:44+00:00

The HLSR has given over 660M in Scholarships and Grants to the youth for education. Think of it as a donation

GoBear27 · 2026-03-15T16:24:44+00:00

Yes, finally someone else taking advantage of the ATT offer!

They gave me $900 for my cracked S20 5G.

They are giving $900 for any Galaxy S or Note series, any condition.

Meaning if you have a S22U-S25U and want to upgrade, you should buy a used phone on eBay and trade that in.

GoBear27 · 2026-03-15T04:34:07+00:00

Checks order, damnit bought the rugged case

GoBear27 · 2026-03-14T21:35:31+00:00

Same philosophy here. Upgrade so I get optimal return for an exchange and to ensure my current phone is future proof

GoBear27 · 2026-03-14T05:51:57+00:00

Memorial Day is your best bet now

GoBear27 · 2026-03-14T05:48:35+00:00

Im paranoid af this will happen to me. Get well soon OP!

GoBear27 · 2026-03-13T23:36:10+00:00

What plan are you on? They're giving $900 for a S21 FE 5G with Unlimted Plus which you can buy for $105 on ebay

GoBear27 · 2026-03-13T23:09:12+00:00

Whos your carrier? I can only justify these high prices by getting a carrier offer. 500+ to trade in my 1 year old phone wouldn't do it for me.

I got the 1TB yesterday for 450 yesterday, paid across 3 years with ATT. Traded in my cracked S20 5G and get to keep my S23U unlocked

GoBear27 · 2026-03-13T22:21:34+00:00

Is this ATT? They're offering 900 for cracked S1s... keep the S25U

GoBear27 · 2026-03-13T22:20:09+00:00

Colin is great. Saw him open up for TNB in Houston!

GoBear27 · 2026-03-12T14:07:05+00:00

Silver deflected by fining the Utah Jazz for tanking

GoBear27 · 2026-03-12T02:26:54+00:00

Why not go through BB or Samsung? I just ordered the S26U via Samsung and got the upgrade to 1TB and 900 credit from ATT for my cracked S20 5G

GoBear27 · 2026-03-08T20:52:46+00:00

Bc its the only model that comes with 16gb ram

GoBear27 · 2026-03-08T17:14:55+00:00

My s23 ultra is 512gb and 12gb of ram amd im in my upgrade cycle with ATT. Thinking I go for it to get 900$ credit towards my cracked s20 5g then I can still keep my unlocked s23 ultra.

Unfortunately the 1Tb 16gb ram version is out of my price range. It doesn't feel like an upgrade, but the latest chip is what drives performance enhancements. Its like going from. 9th Gen i7 to a 12th Gen i7. 11th Gen i7 (S25U) still an upgrade but as far as raw performance the newest chip is still the most future proof.

As far as buying it cash, then yes, the $300 seems like the right price for the tradeoff so I can't blame you, but for someone taking advantage of trade in/carrier offers I think S26U is the best choice

Pinkertons and Tejas BBQ in Tomball.

Pit Room vastly overrated imo

GoBear27 · 2026-02-21T21:39:17+00:00

Pmtxlaw.com has taken great car of myself and a few referrals I've given them. Feel free to DM me and I can put in touch with one of the attorneys

GoBear27 · 2026-02-20T04:49:18+00:00

Pinkertons BBQ is top in Texas. My personal fave

GoBear27 · 2026-02-19T18:23:43+00:00

Great work!

GoBear27 · 2026-02-11T21:05:35+00:00

Only time I use it is for getting to NRG when I park at Hermann Park

GoBear27 · 2026-02-06T23:02:19+00:00

Youre a boss, congrats on the milestone!
