There's no 4G S21 series in Malaysia. S21 series in Malaysia is all 5G. This is because the 5G modem is now integrated in the SoC unlike last year. Also this year in Malaysia base storage is 256GB last year was 128GB.

I personally think no point in getting S21+ as its size is similar to S21 Ultra this year, at least in terms of width which is important for 1 hand use. Either S21 or S21 Ultra, or get the S20+ which is more compact due to its side curve.

To those that complain about Samsung still using 25 W, should watch the video. Those high wattage charging speed from Chinese manufacturer are only peak values and not sustained. Also, in a hot country like Malaysia, there's no point having high wattage charging due to heat which slows down the speed anyway. And Samsung is one of the few companies to use PPS charging instead of the more proliferated PDO charging protocol.

Maybe he is referring to S6.

You can just look at GSMarena’s phone review, they started stating the (actual) charging speed in their reviews since last year.

I do agree Samsung’s 25W charging is competitive for what 25W charging can go. But it’s capability is kind of inconsistent, where S20Ultra can match those of Chinese manufacturers of 30+ wattage fast charging, but not so much for 20FE and Note20.

And because of that (adoption of PPS instead of normal PD), it’s picky on 3rd party charger. Most of the 3rd party charger out there don’t have PPS support.

Again, as state in my previous post. The compromise of faster charging is likely faster battery degrading too (heat factor). So except for a clear cut advantage like that of Xiaomi 120W or Oppo 65W VOOC which can further shorten the full charge time and have incredibly short half charge time, the general market standard of >50% in 30minutes and fully charge slightly over 1 hour will be the sweet spot and acceptable “compromise” for most people.

Bro, I'm referring to S20 series for 4G offered as base model, not S21. I was trying to highlight that we cannot compare the prices in apples to apples comparison due to the difference in specs offered between US market vs Malaysian market

Yahh thats why, when I shifted to S10E due to my S8+ died, really tak biasa with the size, okay la, most likely gonna get S21+, now to choose the colour and package from my telco side xD

I see, thanks for the advice, I don't really play games with the phone, mainly use for read comics, watch video and stuffs, will get the s21+ for the bigger screen

When start to ship if preorder? 28th?

Jz ordered my Ultra 512gb first time ever migrating out of my comfort zone as a hardcore iphone fan. kinda nervous


Has been Iphone fan since iphone 4

was waiting Samsung to change Exynos but i guess now 2100 should be the answer to Snapdragon.

For the part of price down and so on and so forth .... it will be trend - rember we buy phone not for resale value but we really love it and enjoy using it.. new model will be out less than a year...

charger? i had unused iphone chargers and 6 other 3rd party chargers sitting at home coz i used wireless charging 99% of the time.. y i need to care if thy no longer provide - ultimately nobody will care...in a year or 2


Micro SD- we iphone users already used to it from the beginning...

Conclusion : migrating from iphone to samsung android - samsung features is overkill compared to iphone especially camera dept. reliability : will hav to see.

I know is typo, 512MB
Hehe

thanks bro

Could I just jump on your boat and offer my take on this?

If one who has been out and about freely and all of a sudden finds himself in prison, it will take a while for him to adjust and if at all he eventually can, he may grudgingly do it cause he’s stuck in there and has no choice. However, conversely, if he had been in jail and finally released, he will find it refreshing as he can do almost everything at his whims and fancies, without too much restrictions.

Thus, I am almost certain you will enjoy what Android can offer. A caveat though. Fanboys of Apple/iOS are not included in my analogy.

Welcome to Galaxy

Any examples of 3rd party chargers that support PPS?

Eh shit my memory was messed up

It was brought back in S7

Removed during S6

Was the same..but when MY somehow force to take 256GB
So 256 should be enough
Can still use OTG type C for expansion
But got bundle with wireless charger and buds live (worth near 1k)
Then i take it using telco plan
Cant really tell FHD+ vs QHD side by side

just pre ordered with maxis S21, good deal i would say

for the free bundles of buds live + trio wireless charger + smarttag, wonder would anyone wants if let go at RM500 or RM600?

Just sharing my experience..migrated to Android (Z Fold2) from iOS (since iPhone 5 era). I love the Samsung hardware design (immersive screen, one small dot of front camera), but i don't like Android system as overall its not as polish and stable comparing with iOS. So end up switched back to iOS

this round no need to struggle choose SD888 or Exy2100, because both chip are make by Samsung Fab

last time SD show different compare to Exy because , SD make by TSMC Fab & Exy make by Samsung.
TSMC are world 1st chip maker even with same 7nm manufacturing tech, TSMC still best of the best!
this year for flagship chip, TSMC only manufacture Apple A14 & Huawei Kririn9000 order!

as such SD888 or Exy2100 will perform equally due to same Samsung Fab 5nm manufacturing process
Good luck to thermal handling for both SD888 & Exy2100

Most probably because of Note 7 tragedy, Samsung is scared to go above 50W.
