Cancelled with Courts due to them not having stocks at all (have to wait till God knows when) and went to the Samsung Store and managed to get the additional one-year warranty inclusive of 1st year screen protection plus all the 3 gifts and one month waiver (worth 8% and must do EPP, lump sum pay won't get discount lol).

May I know which model you get? Do you know whether they have S21+ stock?
There's a built-in tool for One UI 3.1. I used it here.
Perhaps I'll make a vid on how to enable it.
But the one shown on your video is the realtime FPS checker with CPU and GPU usage graph. It does not check for Refresh rate though. Anyway, we still welcome you to make a video on how to enable that graph tool.
This is still under Developers option. The app name is called as GPUWatch
QUOTE(Pyjamas999 @ Feb 3 2021, 07:07 PM)
I read the article too.. another interesting finding from their graph is that 1440p consumes less display power compared to when set at 1080p? Weird haha.
When I turn on my refresh rate checker from developer settings, my display only alternates between 120 -> 60hz -> back to 120hz again when I touch the display. Is yours the same?
I can't seem to activate the claimed 10hz VRR
I have no idea how to activate 10Hz too. The panel is capable but I think the software has locked that feature. The lowest it can get is 48Hz, occurs when you watch 24 FPS video. I would have appreciate Samsung if they downclock to 30Hz for 30 FPS content/games or 24Hz for 24 FPS movies. Saves even more battery, just wonder why they not doing that for the Ultra model since the panel is capable...

safe to say thay this year exynos is really on par with snapdragon. both have pros and cons which balance themself. unlike last years which Snapdragon is better and superior in every aspects.
i think Malaysian users can happily buy s21. if ones are super duper mobile gamers they sure opt to gaming variants like rog, blackshark etc. but s21 surely perfect all rounder as smartphone.
jus found my unique code at junk/spam e-mail,can i redeem?
Of course you can. You should have check your junk mail long time ago, other LYN members already told you to do so, not sure why you did not do it, until now that is. What you can do now is to live chat with Samsung customer support to correct your redemption info so that you are eligible again or resubmit the form. I advice using the former steps to avoid conflicts.

S21 Ultra 512GB Black last unit. For S21+ i believe they did have a few stocks left. Location JB. I suggest you call a few stores first before going in your area. Thats what I did. Just Google Samsung Store and it will show nearby stores in your area and just call them one by one. I did call like a few stores just now, some Stores told me no more free Extended Warranty (branch quota finished) and i wanted the extra warranty (it would make it a better deal than the Courts one). So ended up calling like every store till i get what i wanted.
For S21+ you can change the 1st year screen crack warranty and extended warranty for the 2nd year with Galaxy Buds Pro according to a Store i called just now. For S21 Ultra you cant opt for the Buds Pro, weird. Anyway I rather have the warranty rather than the Buds Pro.

thanks for advice,but date of purchase is the date i online pre-order or the date i go senQ collect the hp?
Thank you so much.. now i am at the correct site... I can't proceed as i must have my phone IMEI to continue.
What about the unique code? I buy from samsung online direct and already have all the free gift (smarttag, wireless trio, ear bud pros) so i still can redeem this ah??

Did you ask why must do installment to get 8% off? To offset credit card interest rate? But a lot of credit cards already support 0% interest during installment plans. I wonder is it because they wanna force you to use credit card as installment so that bank can benefit from this with other charges, hmmm.
QUOTE(kumhoo @ Feb 2 2021, 10:25 PM)
I found that store freebies is better. Got additional 1 year warranty (mean 2 years SME warranty) + 1 time free screen replacement (1st year only).
Then if you opt for installment, you will get off one discount around 8%.
You still get the Fit2, smart tag & trio charger.
So store promo is still the best.
KCY3701 Could you pin this on 1st page or create a post about this? This is currently the best offer available for walk-in customer. Also add a disclaimer saying there is a branch store quota limit for extended warranty freebies. But be warned to keep yourself safe during the pandemic though as the risk is there if you prefer to walk-in. And remember to archive my Court post since 3 Feb 2021 is the last day the promo code works.

Yes, you can still redeem Galaxy Fit2 provided you get the code via email when you register interest to preorder at Samsung website. If you did not do this steps, unfortunately you need someone else here to give you the code (if they are generous enough that is).

The date you preorder of course (the most important part is they wanna know whether you purchase during preorder date or not), when you collect the phone is not important to them.

I called Courts CS and i was kinda being firm with them as i ordered on their site hoping that the stock was ready otherwise why would i buy something that is not ready stock as this aint a PO no more and the CS , if he was to be believed told me straight away that they might expect shipments from Samsung MY from 20th onwards (estimated) coz they already enquired from Samsung MY and they couldnt give any ETA (of coz according to this Court guy la). Hell no i wanted to wait for that long unless they gave me RM2000 off the price. I straight told them to cancel my order and proceed with refund. If no stocks dont put on website as available la. You go see Samsung MY now you cant even buy S21 Ultras as they are already out of stocks. Courts is as bad as ever.

Must do EPP otherwise wont get the 8% discount (they call it as a one-month off waiver). I did enquire about this.
EPP with supporting banks is 0% bro. No interest charge. I guess the banks want you to pay installments so theres a chance that you might be defaulted during this Covid time and they can make money out of you lor. What else do these banks want? Lel

Ic, i did not even register interest, instead, just bought/ordered within the preorder time period. Hmm, very likely thats it for me.

Yep, that is correct. There is another refresh rate widget in the Developer Options menu. Also, Perf Z is dead.

About the additional one year warranty, is they will directly give it to you or you need to ask them to provide that? Also, they got mentioned what is the quota limit? Thanks

Yeah I tried playing 24 FPS video with Samsung stock Video app, the screen will manage to go down to 48hz but no lower. Hmm maybe their so called '10 hz' is only triggered by some very specific applications? Like those e-readers lol
Oh well.. I'm surprised no reviewer, not even anandtech covered this. All just superficially say 'can go down to 10hz etc' but no one investigated it properly haha. You're right though, if the panel is capable they should have implemented like a full real time VRR
