Refer the below discussion

Kindly note the current offer is only applicable till Sept 20 2023 ( though there is high probability of it being extended ) so you need to complete the process at the earliest to avoid any last minute surprises

This is the best price possible currently for Samsung S23 Ultra Offline / Online .

You can get Galaxy Z Flip 5 / Galaxy Z Fold 5 for good rates from the Facebook Marketplace / Swappa / Ebay but life of a foldable against proven S23 Series is still debatable.

Q1- No

Q2- Naturally software will be customised for country where it is sold. You will not get call recording, Samsung Wallet UPI and may be you won't be able to add indian Credit cards in Samsung wallet.

Q3- No

Q4- I will only suggest you to buy from USA IF you are getting it UNLOCKED and price is below 70k INR. provided that you are OK with losing warranty and india specific features mentioned above.

Q5- in India , base model you should get for 90-95k if you avail all offers. In USA you should get good deal from Google Fi which was low. There is already detailed discussion and process on dd.

Q-6 - Wherever you can get cheap with local USA warranty as your friend can test it and return if any issues.
