I see. Then it's probably due to the new chipset. It produces more heat compared to old generations. Anyway, just try not to use your phone during charging. Heat or no heat, it will still damage your phone if you keep practising it.

Ya. That's why I advised him to stop that practise. But he said he didn't encounter this in his old S7edge. That's kind of weird though.

Always display on. 6% drained in 5 hours. That's about 1% per hour. ya. It's pretty normal. That's how the Always on display would cost you if you use it.

Haiya. Just stick to your s865 la. It's much stable compared to sd888. I also have one sd865 phone xiaomi mi10. After watching mi 11 "burning" videos, I decided I will just stick to my mi10. Not gonna upgrade this year. Lol.

Oh. Only free wireless charger pad and smart tag. Not galaxy fits due to out of stock. It's ok la. I never care about those gifts since I am lazy to sell them out. As long as I can get the phone, I am happy.

Oh btw one bad news for people who want to buy in store. The staff told me that due to MCO, the amount of stock is quite limited this time. When I bought, only phantom violet is available for S21 & S21+. May be in near future they will restock. But since MCO is not yet lifted, this makes the whole process more difficult.

So ya. Either smartphone or console, if you really want it, better grab it fast while you can. Due to this pendemic, you really won't know what will happen next. A lot of people said they can wait, take it slow. But they also need to consider about the reality. God knows when this pendemic will go away. So better enjoy it first before it's too late.

So last night I full blast the stereo speakers on my S21+. Watched a few movie trailers. Oh man. I confirm the sound quality is better than last generation. The surround sound is much more obvious. On S20+, the surround is there but not that significant. On S21+, I can feel it more lively. As usual, Samsung would never tell you this in their ppt showcase. You must find it out and feel it yourself. Nevertheless, good job Samsung due to their efforts on this.

Haha. Looking forward to your comparison video bro.

Klcc SES. Friday. Yes. According to them, the fit2 is not available. I am not gonna need it anyway. So I just accept it. The staff claimed that due to MCO, everything is chaos. Not enough stock, not enough gifts. Heck. They even don't have enough demo to show. When I went there, they only have S21 and S21+ phantom violet to show. The other colors are not available. I was gonna buy the violet anyway. So no big deal.

I don't know if they are using MCO as an excuse. But I won't be surprised if it's true. This MCO does affect most business normal operation. I used to buy new comics every week from kinokuniya. But since MCO 2.0 started, the arrival of new comics was halted due to lack of man power. Sigh. Damn sad.

I did ask them if they will contact me if fit2 is available. They said not sure. They couldn't make any promise since they have no idea when the stock is available. So I asked what if the customer complained? They said they would let the customer know first. If cannot accept, then may as well don't buy it first.

Anyway, as I said previously, I don't care about free gifts. If I do, I would have go for pre-order. Lol. But I must say. Blame this pendemic. If not, they sure got roadshow running and I am sure the gifts would be much better compared to this "MCO gifts". lol.

Bro, SOT alone cannot represent how good or bad is your battery life. You must take account of what apps you are using and also those apps that running in the background. May be you can show the details and we will together see if it justifies your SOT.





It's the camera ois module. All samsung flagships have the same rattling sound. Don't shake your phone too often because there's a small chance where you may spoil the module during shaking.

Breaking news!

Exynos 2100. Switch into power saving mode will improve the GPU performance up to 30%. But the power saving mode will drain the battery much faster. What kind of sorcery is this!? Sounds like a bug.

Looks like you still can't get used to the screen resolution on your phone. It seems that you can't get rid of the idea that this phone is less sharper than your previous phone. You must try to get this "lesser ppi" thinking out of your head. If you can't do this, then this feeling will keep bothering you whenever you use the phone. Then I am sorry to say that this phone is not for you bro.

Just checked. The list is still there what. Enter the promotion page, Click the highlight, click term and conditions, scroll down, there you go.

You attached to your S8 for too long. S8 is a small phone, and small phone will always get sharper resolution compared to large phone. You should buy the small S21 instead. But it's too late to regret now. I can only suggest you to get rid of your S8. Sell it or give it to your family members or keep it in your drawer. Don't look at it. It may sound extreme but it's the most effective way to help you adapt to your new phone.

Your theory sound legit. At the same time, it also mean that Samsung could actually tune up their exynos gpu performance until on par with snapdragon level. It's all about customisation. It will be excellent if they can provide us like cpu mode and gpu mode. Daily usage use cpu mode. Play game use gpu mode. Like rog phone with their gaming mode.

Thanks for your sharing bro. Now we know the 5G performance on exynos 2100 is good. So in future if malaysia finally implement 5G and if any S21 users complain about the performance, then we all know who should be blamed. It's the telco not the phone. Haha.

I read the article. So basically they are saying that S21 adaptive refresh rate will only work under bright ambient light. If you are using in the darker environment or room, the adaptive mode won't work and it will stay at 120hz all the time. Am I right?

The software part. No. Since S20 series, whenever there's a new update, ultra or not, all models would get it at the same time. I believe the same thing will apply to S21 series as well. And contrary, this time S21 ultra may get update later than the siblings due to the S pen function.

If you didn't tell what it is. I would thought that it's a big bird on the sky. Looks like a Phoenix. Lol.

Neck to neck battery life!
