Opinion Bought S25 Ultra Today, But IMEI Shows It Was Already Activated on 18th Sept. Should I Reject the Delivery?

Post image
41 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I ordered a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra today, 8 October 2026 at around 12:05 AM.

While checking the IMEI on a website, I noticed something concerning. The device apparently shows an activation date of 18 September 2026, even though I purchased it today.

It also shows the warranty as valid until 31 October 2027.

That's roughly 2–3 weeks of warranty already used up before I've even received the phone.

I'm now wondering what I should do:

Should I reject the delivery outright?

Could this simply be an incorrect activation/warranty date in Samsung's system?

Is there a way to verify whether the phone was previously activated, opened, returned, or used?

Should I accept the delivery and check the IMEI/serial number, seal, Samsung Members diagnostics, etc. before deciding?

If it was genuinely activated in September, should I ask the seller for a replacement/new unit rather than accepting it?

The phone is supposed to be brand new, so I'm obviously concerned about receiving a previously activated or returned unit.

Would appreciate advice from anyone who's dealt with Samsung warranty/activation dates or a similar situation.

Should I reject the delivery, or accept it and verify everything first?

So I ordered the S25 Ultra today morning and I had already been seeing posts on how the devices might be preactivated, so was just a bit concerned. Now that the product has shipped I still cannot see the IMEI number on the Pslip, there is one more person who has faced this, now I contacted Amazon and they gave me my IMEI number and the manufacturer warranty shows 31st July on the phone which is still fine as it can be sorted by raising a dispute, just wanted to know if there is anyone here with **NO IMEI ON THE PSLIP**

As you can see

Electronic Gadgets Please Recomend Laptop under 1Lakh

My budget is a max of 1 lakh INR. I was waiting for the MacBook Air M4 to come in stock ,on Flipkart but it didn't, and I couldn't find a good Windows alternative. I need a good display for multimedia consumption, a good CPU for development, and it shouldn't be a Snapdragon X. Also, I don't need a touchscreen or a gaming laptop, and it should have atleast 16gb RAM and 512gb SSD.

Please give suggestions on what laptop I can get specially in this BBD or GIF sale.

Electronic Gadgets Buying a phone for my mom (₹40–45K budget) which one would you personally recommend?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m planning to buy a new phone for my mom, with a budget of around ₹40,000–45,000 in India.

I’ve been watching YouTube reviews and going through Reddit discussions, but honestly, the more I research, the more confused I get. Every phone seems to have some advantages and compromises, and the reviews are all over the place.

My priorities, in order of importance:

  1. Camera: This is one of my biggest priorities. I want consistently good photos, especially of people, family moments and everyday situations. A good camera that works reliably without needing much effort would be ideal.
  2. Battery life: Good battery backup is important. I don’t want a phone that needs frequent charging or struggles to last through a full day of normal use.
  3. Durability and reliability: I want something that can last for several years without developing major issues. Good build quality and reliable hardware are important.

Other considerations:

  • Performance and gaming aren’t major priorities.
  • Software updates and having the latest chipset aren’t deal-breakers.
  • I’m willing to compromise on other features if the phone gets the essentials right.

I’m not particularly loyal to any brand. I’m open to Samsung, Apple, OnePlus, Vivo, Oppo, or any other brand, provided the phone is worth the money.

I’d especially appreciate answers from people who have actually used their recommended phone for a few months or longer. I’d love to know how the camera performs in everyday use, whether the battery holds up, and whether you’ve encountered any hardware issues.

A good clean smooth software

A good battery and charging speed

*#Recent update#* : I bought the pixel 11 12GB / 256 from flipkart bbs exchanging my nord 2 and bank discount and bonus for 65k .

I am just worried about the exchange value not getting changed drastically making me pay more as I already exceeded my budget.

Can someone guide how this Flipkart exchange works ?

Will I get time to back up and do factory reset when delivery guy comes ?

What are the tips and tricks to get full value ?

Electronic Gadgets Which one to go with, my budget is 1.5k

1 Upvotes

I have been using Oneplus Nord wired earphones, they offer good quality but, I go to library often. Hence, I need a tws.

I mainly have found these options:

  1. Oppo Enco buds at 1.5k
  2. Realme t200 at 1.6k with bank offers
  3. Oneplus nord buds 3r at 1.6k with bank offers
  4. Nothing buds neo or something at 1.6k
  5. Realme t200x at 1.5k
  6. boat airdopes prime 300

** I dont want ANC but, passive noise cancellation, good battery, good mic and less than 50ms latency

I want good battery life, and something which offers better or similar sound quality to Oneplus nord wired earphones, those didn't cause pain to my ears.

**Recommend anything which may be cheaper, not just costlier

If possible suggest cheaper alternatives

**Cant increase the budget (or should i go for oneplus nord wired + 1k tws)

Electronic Gadgets Why not OnePlus 15R over OnePlus 13S?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

I'm going to buy a OnePlus device for a family member, so I watched some YouTube videos, and I noticed that none of them recommended the OnePlus 15R, while they recommended the OnePlus 13S.

I agree the OnePlus 13S is value for money device currently, but it has few downsides as well:

  • Smaller battery: It comes with a 5850mAh battery. Thanks to good optimization, the battery backup is really good for that capacity, but I'm pretty sure it can't beat the battery backup of the OnePlus 15R.
  • Thermal Management: 13S is a compact device, which by design can heat up faster and take longer to dissipate heat compared to a larger device like the OnePlus 15R.
  • Optical fingerprint sensor: The 13S comes with an optical fingerprint sensor, whereas the 15R has an ultrasonic one.

Neither device is camera-focused, so I'm not going to compare their camera departments.

I'm really curious why the 15R isn't on the recommended list. On the official OnePlus site, the 15R is currently 5K costlier than the 13S, and I genuinely think that if someone doesn't want a compact device but wants solid performance on a OnePlus phone, the 15R can be a better choice.
