Well bubble wrap is not needed for Court's case since they are not using normal courier services (where they throw products into the cart and risking damage the packaging sometimes). You need to spent at least RM 500 just to be eligible for free delivery hence you should expect their quality of delivery service is much quicker, more careful and gentle in handling the customer's product.
Mine came with physical invoice, slightly different than online invoice. You can use either one, both are valid. I suggest just use the softcopy as you don't need to take extra hassle steps to scan the physical copy.

S7 Edge can only fast charge up to 15W while your S21 can super fast charge to 25W. The extra 10W will definitely make your phone hotter than usual if you multitask that uses more CPU/GPU usage.
If you wanna avoid overheating, disable super fast charge feature and stick with normal fast charge.

Not working on my S21 Ultra also but worked on my S20 Plus, I guess is a bug.

It is not really weird if you factor in the difference between different charging output speed. 15W vs 25W. Higher Wattage produces more heat

Why would you worry that much? Newer Android version have software layer protection implemented that will disable charging if it detects the device is overheating. Note 7 scandal happen due to a design flaw for fitting too large capacity and leaving no room for battery expansion when it heated up, hence causing short-circuit.

Ok, you just edited your message so now I will include my other thoughts. If the phone overheats due to normal usage without charging, then yes, this is a very big concern indeed. As far as I know only the Snapdragon 888 is having this issue right now. I have S21 Ultra with me and so far I have not encounter any overheating message even with heavy gaming.
Xiaomi Mi 11 is experience this overheating issue right now (it is a widespread issue) with this new chip, SD888. Let's see if MIUI 12.5 would fix it or not.

It was quite an improvement in terms of CPU and GPU power but at the expense of power efficiency and heat generation. The new X1 prime core architecture is still 1st gen so they will be a lot of software optimization update coming soon to optimize this power hungry core

Power saving mode applies on CPU only on the Exynos model. Smartphones have restricted TDP due to passive cooling. For this case, since CPU is using less power, it gives more power for the GPU to boost clock higher like nVidia Dynamic Boost 2.0 (this one uses AI to dynamically adjust power for both CPU and GPU), rather than AI, we are doing manual control here. This is just my assumption but the theory does make sense to a certain extent.
By right power saving mode, should reduce power usage for both CPU & GPU which is true for Snapdragon model, but only CPU for Exynos model. I guess there is some software bugs needs fixing here.

Since games uses less CPU power for mobile game anyway, the increase performance for GPU will lead to higher FPS in games that rely heavily on graphics.

LOL, you really wanna try your luck despite knowing it will most likely be a failed attempt

No, but it might be tied up to registered email during preorder interest. Whether they cross check with email or not I'm not sure.

Wanted to post about this earlier (as in few days before) but in the end did not do, so congratz for discovering this and share this news to other people. Be warned this new OLED tech only applicable for the Ultra model.

Based on the article, yes your understanding is right.

How the heck paying via installment net additional 8%? What is their hidden T&C? Normally from a business point of view, they offer cash discount if pay in full.

Pre-order with Courts was still the best deal.

1. 8% discount (HUAT8) - worth ~RM400
2. Pre-order free gifts - worth RM 1,317 (Buds Pro RM799 + Wireless Trio Charger RM399 + SmartTag RM119), provided you ordered the Ultra model, else reduce RM200
3. ROI gifts (Galaxy Fit2) - worth RM 179

Just tested it on my side. Indeed it stays at 120 Hz in darker room, damn VRR not working here. Auto brightness does not play a role here, it is based on the ambient brightness detected by the sensor.

No need FPS meter, Android 11 got built-in refresh rate checker. You need to turn on Developer options to enable this setting though.
Under Debugging, there is an option called as Show refresh rate

Btw FPS and refresh rate are two different things. Maybe you can get this fact right 1st.

I'm glad you know the difference. Those naming schemes needs to be renamed. Those terms used interchangeably (since they are correlated in some ways) and non tech savvy people will definitely get confused.
Well, if the built-in tool does its job, I don't see the need for any third party software unless you seeking for more detailed features and info.

As far as I know, no Samsung tools that can check this though. If you want to use third party, I have just stumbled one on the Play Store
Refresh Rate Checker

Edit: Just tested this is not real time checker. I see if I can find one

Found one that is real time, although not as comprehensive as the Xiaomi's one that came with FPS, resolution and Refresh rate overlay.
Display Checker with Real-Time Refresh Rate

You used the wrong link, I wonder who gave you this incomplete hyperlink . That will only bring you to your redemption account history.
This is the correct link: https://samsung-redemption.com/customer/#/sasso/MY-gwp-130

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


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...

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.

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.

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.

Why do you say Perf Z is dead?

GSMArena did covered this but even they failed to get the supposedly promised 10Hz. They still have no clue what thing to trigger that lowest refresh rate.
https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s21...view-2219p3.php

GSMArena have tested this with AOD on and still it is stuck at 60Hz.
