WOW!! Rude Samsung E-Commerce phone representative!

I called to find out when an S20 Ultra 512GB might be available to purchase. After he checked inventory, he came back and said that there were none in stock; and there is no estimation of when it might be back in stock.

When I started to make a comment about Samsung's low sales numbers for the S20 and not having it in stock to sell for several weeks, he responded: "Thank you for calling Samsung" and HUNG up on me before I could even complete my sentence.

Not nice!! Maybe I need to rethink my purchase of this phone.

Samsung support sucks, get use to it.
The S Korean reps can't deal with criticism, constructive or otherwise.
Sort of amusing to know that...
Philippines slightly better than SK... but still worthless.
Stateside Samsung is better.

So... don't bank on what that rep told you.

This was a US rep responsible for taking orders by phone. I guess not this time, maybe never.
 
Personally I always felt they always advertise and say at release they have a 512gb... but they never intend to manufacture or stock that many. In other past Galaxy models I believe there were posts asking where the 512gb were. My guess is not many buy the. I know some people have some need to have it internally but most know to just get an SD card and ok with it.

I would imagine with sales they way they are now... especially with Corona making it worse, I doubt they will be making any more for the rest of the year. But just my opinion.

Checking my company's Corp Verizon account...

My guess is supply outstripped demand by accident not intent.
Yeah you can get an SD card but fast high capacity ones aren't cheap and not even close to the speed of the internal memory.
High capacity internal memory and a fat RAM are very desirable... and worth a few more hundred.
 
The more I read on this forum and elsewhere, the more I think that Sammy is doing me a favor by not having it available for me to buy.
 
I've been waiting on a pre-order S20 Ultra 512GB literally since Feb 14th. However, I should mention I pre-order the dual sim Snapdragon model. This wait has been insane and while I could have switched my order at any time to a 128/256GB model the price seemed to good to give up waiting for. Because now all the 512GB dual sim models I've seen around the web have been $1000- $3000 more to order lol.

I came across another online store that was able to get one in my hands but for another $400 more than what I paid. But I refuse to pay more at this point and haven't reached that level of desperation yet.

The store I ordered from (PDA Plaza) is using a supplier in HK. And what was advised to me today is that the 512GB models will not be shipping or available until May 15th. This also coincides with other information I came across weeks ago online. I was contemplating switching to a 256GB model but after waiting this long I may as well wait it out another week or 2.

Hell yeah wait! That not just more memory, it's fast memory.
Can't come close to it's R/W speeds with the best flash cards.

I am not aware of a 256 Ultra. One of the reasons for Ultra shortages is because they underestimated projected sales. On the other hand the other S20s did not sell as expected.
 
I do see the 512 GB unlocked available on Samsung.com. Was checking something and hard to see this was in stock. Just in case someone is looking to buy the 512 GB model just FYI. Says ships by May 13.

Wow. Unlocked Ultra 512GB is Out of Stock again after being on Sammy's For Sale website for only three days. They must not make very many of them at a time.

Yeah probably making in very limited quantities. No one can change my mind that 512 GB Ultras at $1599 are selling like hot cakes

They are probably making few hundreds every month and the crowd waiting for it are buying them. Not sure why they are doing that and what challenges they have in making the 512 GB models especially since the release has been now for few months.
 
Just received this email from B&H Photo. Very strange since the phone just showed back up as available on Sammy's website.

Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G SM-G988U 512GB Smartphone (Unlocked, Cosmic Black)
(B&H # SAG988U512BK)
