Good, this confirms my experience with them

Haha same S21+
Seems S21 Ultra is kinda too big and expensive

Ya why don't just wait until next year, when ppl buy S22, can buy cheap S21... in fact every year is like this one 🤣.. by that logic, for now you should buy S20.. next year buy S21.. always 1 year behind

So those who get the free wireless trio essentially get a free charger head

You mean free charger head + usb-c to usb-c cable

Yes that's right

Well lucky also pre order for such gifts

Tempted to go apple but it will make usb c otg pendrive/usb c cables obsolete ..so stay with samsung

3rd galaxy s series
3 > 8 > 21+

It'd make my 10 years of android apps collection go obsolete. And since I'm comfortable with android, switching was never a question.

This year phone still using good(?) old lithium battery right? Coz before this there was news on this:

Samsung phone with graphene battery coming by 2021?

I think future phone will equip with this revolutionary battery tech...

Just my 2nd, since S7 Edge -> S10e

Just went to Samsung Midvalley to check out, S21 Ultra feels big and heavy, S21+ feels like the sweet spot. Sleek and feels premium.

Anyway, anyone can input where is the best pre-order deal? Feels like everywhere is giving the same thing, except Samsung Online store can claim another headphone.

Not really. SD doesn’t fate to win over Exynos yet.

If you take a deeper look at SD888 and Exynos2100, you will realise they’re almost identical on CPU tech this year. In fact Exynos is clocked higher than SD888 cores to cores.

Qualcomm didn’t tweak much off ARM reference design this year round, hence it’s almost identical to Exynos. And to double down on the similarities, Snapdragon this year is manufactured by Samsung too, thus the previous discrepancies caused by TSMC vs Samsung fabrication shouldnt happen again this year.

But again, other than the CPU, other parts of chipset may start to differentiate itself, especially the GPU and modems.

What’s interesting is even SD888 seems over ambitious and over claimed on the improvements this year. Samsung’s 5nm can’t sustain properly the improvements yet. The improvements (benchmarks and etc) are not sustainable unless the excessive heat issue is resolved thermal throttling to a lesser extent. This also translate to higher draws in power and lesser battery life.

Graphene battery is like Quantum computer.

Sounds perfect on papers and mentioned every now and then but nobody seems to be able to manufacture an actual working product just yet, KEK

SenQ / SenHeng - RM 100 Off and 1 year extended warranty if you are PlusOne member.

I know. But there are a few test scores showing that SD888 takes higher score than exynos 2100. Not sure if it's fake review. Even the famous Samsung leaker ice universe said that different units show different result, claiming that optimization is needed.

Anyway, I don't care about the scores. As long as the performance is on par with snapdragon, then I am happy. Lol.

My main concern would be signal issue and battery performance.. the rest is secondary for my case.

Well some would argue is already in use, just in car battery haha...

Oh well, battery technology will still be same old then...

My 2cents
- Exynos2100 likely on par with SD888 in CPU performance this time round
- they both likely sucks the same way in thermal throttling and power efficiency
- exynos might even do it a tard better in thermal as Qualcomm’s new GPU is just an overclocked old Adreno on steroid, which isn’t going to be friendly to power consumption

I am ok with point 1 and point 3. But point 2!. Argh! Just hope the battery life won't screw up. If not, then no point I switch over from S20+. May just stick to it if battery life is equally suck. Lol.

My friend did mentioned to me, all these clock power etc.. In real life usage got use or not?

I usually play games. So i memang expect to use most of it
