FYI: Package arrived today, but the box was damaged, the Samsung seal as well. Definitely not a new device. There were several signs of wear on the box such as filthy fingerprints and scratches. I return it and don't order a new one. I am so disappointed, no words. In the moment I am therefore not in the mood to order the tablet a second time. So sorry to hear this donkeyfan, how very disappointing for you.

omg, I am so sorry Donkeyfan, this is upsetting and I understand why you don't want to order again at this moment. I got me the Google Pixel tablet and I am super happy with it. I forever had Samsung since they were the only ones offering a decent tablet NOT being an Apple. So I preordered the Pixel, super nice, comes with charging doc which doubles as a decent speaker, and no bloatware And the price is not bad at all. Oh, and btw, I am still having 2 Samsung tablet keyboard covers laying around (I had to have them, and they are not cheap) and I used them maybe 3 times while on travel.

I too, am very sorry this has happened Donkeyfan. I have to do a lot of ordering online because many things are not available where I live. I've had several bad experiences in the past and am very careful to only buy from reputable sources now (there are many sellers out there who try to pass off used electronics and other items as "new" when they are, in fact, used or defective). I'm not sure in your case what happened though.
I'm also in the market for a new tablet and after looking at hundreds of them, I thought I found the one until I spotted the word "refurbished" in small print (I don't buy used, remanufactured or refurbished electronics unless they're vintage, but realize this may be necessary on a tighter budget). Nevertheless, your experience is disheartening and I hope this will not deter you from getting the tablet you really want!

Dear member, I want to thank you again. It's so touching that you commiserate on my bad luck with the purchase. I have to say it's the first time that I experienced this. (Getting a used device declared as new and of course full prize) Due to this I fully sign what you wrote Tahoe 🐾 . It's the reason why I am willing to pay more for minimizing the risk of bad experiences. I bought the device at a very great Internet Shop, well known for his goodwill in case of a claim. Furthermore I bought the device directly about the shop and not over a third-party-seller. I think they weren't aware about this issue, I can't imagine that. Ok, I won't whine any longer, it's for no good as it is how it is. I send it back today and consider what to do in the future. Perhaps...if some time has gone I'm ready to give it a new try. I could hug you all. ❤️😘

donkeyfanOh no! That's awful. So sorry for your disappointing experience. Can agree with Tahoe. Online you have to be very careful. Unfurtunatelly there are many dubious sellers. Especially with electronics. Have you bought it from an official samsung distributor, donkeyfan? Many, many years ago I heard that there are dubious sellers, that even sells imitations. But they are so good, that you don't see it at the first glance if you are not a specialist. This very fact is already enough (for me) so that I only buy from official distributors, although you have to pay a little bit more for it. And of course there are more reasons, like tahao already mentioned. If an offer is really cheap, you should be sceptic. There is often a reason why it is so much cheaper than the other ones. Hope you will find a good seller for your next buy. EturtleReally nice. I heard that there will be released a pixel tablet but haven't detailed considered with it. I'm curious, would be nice to hear more about your experiences with it. Really? Ok, thats not often. You are right, it is really expensive. I think, I wouldn't have decided to buy it, if I had to pay it for the official price. I got mine with a promotion, so I got the cover keyboard for free. For me it was a big deal. I really love it. It is in daily use. All my posts here are written on my tablet with the keyboard.

I know you were looking forward to having it. I don’t blame you for sending it back. I would have done the same thing. Sending you a big hug.🤗 Maybe a better deal for the same tablet will come up. I am waiting for that too as I’m due for a new one…and also a new phone. I am using a very vintage iPhone 6 and looking to switch to Samsung Ultra but only for the right deal as I’m picky about my electronics.

I am using a very vintage iPhone 6 and looking to switch to Samsung Ultra but only for the right deal as I’m picky about my electronics. I'm also searching for a new phone but haven't decided what to choose until now. I am very disappointed about the fact so many companies don't have a slot for a memory card in their devices. The s23 has this problem, too. I was also looking at the new s23 series. I read up on the normal one and the ultra. I like the S-Pen very much. But it is so expensive. But unfortunatelly there are two more issues. I read about big problems with the lenses of the camera. Often in the s23. But if i remember correctly there are also some ultra users, who reported this issue. They reported about a blurring effect like a ring on photos and suspect a defective lense for this. For me this is unacceptable for such an expensive phone. Some users wrote it looks like Samsung has a bad quality check. The other problem, I don't like are the very oversaturated photos. In some situations the photos doesn't look very natural anymore. And I don't like the AI on it. In my opinion it is a little bit to much what the image processing does. (Best example is the image processing on the moon.) I think my next phone won't be a Samsung anymore. At the moment I'm searching for good alternatives. If you are waiting for a good deal for the ultra have you already checked Samsung? In my country they have the ultra with a promotion that gives you double memory, a bonus for your old phone or instead a little less bonus and a code for a 5% discount.

I agree with your comment about purchasing from an official seller, I don’t know how android things work but with Apple we buy direct fit the iPad and phones and from a local agent for our computer. We trade our old phones and iPads in for new ones in this way. I hope it all works out for you donkeyfan.

squirrel I deliberately didn't mentioned the shop. I don't intend to do shop-blaming. The issue is settled. Yesterday I got the device, today early in the morning I sent it back.

donkeyfan, I'm glad the issue is settled. So the shop sent you a new device to replace the used device?

lynnk2021 No, it's not "settled" in terms of getting a new device from the shop. I think this is a misunderstanding because I didn't expressed myself more precisely. I meant "settled" regarding to send the device back to get rid of it as quick as possible. What I did additional....I formulated a complaint regarding the fact that the device was offered as new and therefore the full prize to pay. I think some control mechanism messed up in my case. The only thing I got was "excuse", "excuse" and again an "excuse". That doesn't help me in any way. I didn't felt taken seriously as well. So I ended this, I'm done. This was a "key-event" for me. I'll be even more careful than before. Well, I keep you apprised about a new device for me.

Update:
Finally it's there, my brandnew and Original Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. No dirty fingerprints, the seal was untouched and the device was well boxed. I am happy. The screen is gorgeous, I have never seen something like that. 😍
I had not much to do, only connecting my old tab with the Ultra, and the transfer happened by itself without any effort. Simply great.
Thanks to all who cheered me up when I was so disappointed with the first delivery.
❤️😘🙂🌺🌹

donkeyfanIt's great to hear that now every thing was right and you got your new ultra. Did you use smart switch for the transfer? I have never used this function before. When I get I new device I often take the chance to declutter my apps and only install, what I really need on my new device.

Speaking of Ultra: Some time ago we have spoken from the S23 Ultra (Phone).
For those who are interested in it, perhaps it could be interesting to have a look on Amazons Prime days. In my country they have special prime day offers for samsung devices and also for the S23 Ultra.

squirrel Sorry for the late answer, I was busy lately, and I will be the next time. Please don't wonder if you have to wait a little bit longer for an answer from me as usual. Yes, I used Smart Switch. Basically you are right to only transfer those things which you really need, but I am generally very cautious with Apps and Third-Party-Softwere in general so I could give it a go. I can't complain until now, it's simply great.
Thanks for your congrets!

I am on my new Samsung Tablet. Hay Day is under Super Cell My Samsung has a Pop-up to sign into Google every time I go into Hay Day...I tap on Not Now Looking at my settings I cannot find how to stop it.
If I delete it from Google Play, will it delete Hay Day from Super Cell? I don't know what to do... Please help! ....or do I sign into Google and disconnect? Going to Supercell? My other devices are fine

Signing into Google play through hayday won't effect your game if that's what you're worried about You'll just be signed into Google play and using supercell I.D together
