Feel like S21+ for those who want big phone + longer battery life and doesn't want to spend so much on Ultra, feel awkward laugh.gif
As both S21 and S21+ share same spec except plastic or glass and without and with UWB whistling.gif
Out of surprise seems like S21 sales better than S20 series laugh.gif

S21 and S21+ are like the s8 and s8+. Until Samsung decided to give them a downgrade so it's now a half breed FE & S.

Sometimes it is not because of Samsung being good. Rather US helped it by killing off Huawei. And with Xiaomi blacklisted almost all China smartphones in danger, not much alternatives. And LG is pulling out too. Either switch to Samsung or iPhone. 

On a separate note, I just spent the last few hours transferring data and setting up apps for my Ultra. Seems battery deleted very quickly, and quite hot. Also reception of signal for 4G not as good as Huawei. With Huawei always full bar but with Ultra sometimes 4 bars.

Also to share for those with VoLTE issues, please note if you run dual sim and you enable VoLTE for SIM2, your VoLTE for SIM 1 (by default on if your telco supports it) will not work. I tried it a few times on DIGI network.

After CNY I will explore eSim and see what's the behaviour then.

So I'm not the only one experiencing poor receptions. Im a umobile user so I'm experiencing more such cases lol. Signal is either on 1 or 2 bar. In a week of my usage I have experience more than 5 dropped calls due to signal issues.

And you are right. Samsung S21 success is not because of their product, but a lack of product alternatives. Both the mate 40 Pro and the S21 plus are priced similarly in Msia, the former kills the S21 plus in every possible features except GMS.
