I haven't visited this AndroidCentral site in about a year. After checking out that everyone is buying the latest Ultra 22 phone, that reignited my G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) disease! So no more than a few hours later, I ordered the new Ultra 22 in green for the unlocked 512GB version. What put me over the top was the $250 value in free gifts which I ended up choosing the new Galaxy pro earbuds, plus wireless charger, and a nice carry case. Plus the free upgrade for the 512GB storage for the price of the 256GB price was a nice touch. The person I'm with is thrilled to receive the new Galaxy earbuds as a gift, since I already have this for myself and don't need another. This was on top of a $425 trade-in value for my Samsung Note 10+ phone (since I have 2 of the Note 10+ phones, I'll just keep one and trade in the other...long story). Plus I got instant approval for Samsung's 2 year no-interest financing plan so I will pay about $42 a month until the phone is paid off in full. I'm sure I will pay it off much sooner anyway. So yeah, the Note 10+ phone trade-in discount, plus the freebie gifts, plus the no-interest 2 year financing all contributed to my decision to get a new Ultra 22 phone, even though I'm still quite satisfied with my Note 10+ phone. The thought of having 5G fast internet was another large factor, so I'm curious if the hype is real or exaggerated for faster internet speed. I'm located in San Francisco, so hopefully the 5G service will be reliable and fast. Only thing I'm not happy about is not having micro-SD cards any longer, that really sucks. So hopefully the 512GB storage will last for awhile. I would have ordered the 1TB storage size model, but there was no promotional discount for that. The Samsung site says my new phone and freebie gifts should arrive February 25th. We shall see!
