I wonder why all talk about ultra, of course ultra is a beast but why so little buying s21+ this round?
It's because Samsung only sent S21 and S21 ultra to the tech reviewers. So none of them have the chance to review the S21+. I also dunno what's Samsung's strategy this time. It seems that they are purposely ignoring the existence of S21+.

I used to collect mine from the store too. Likewise, I have opt for home delivery as well, this time. Didn't you notice this, in your confirmation email?
Anyway, fingers crossed and hope not.
EDITED: Opppss ... RMCO, not MCO. Hope to receive on the same day then.
Er...I think MCO is more serious than rmco. No? If they have to delay during rmco, then mco surely can't escape from this as well. Not to mention that all those rumors recently. Really no idea what will happen after Jan, if the number is still increasing.
Please give review on battery life, especially the stand by power drain. I really want to know if Samsung already fixed this old problem on their new chip. Thanks.
Yes. It is based on the US version of the S21 Ultra.
I guess you guys didn't read the whole article. No. The author already mentioned that the tested phone is exynos 2100 variant.
Other than the improved chipset, the biggest factor that contributing to this great battery life is the LTPO screen. Variable refresh rate is fantastic for browsing endurance!

Browsing endurance is good. Gaming is not. Depends on your preferences
Yes. Past few years, exynos were always poor in term of battery and gaming performance. But this year, at least they get it right on the battery life. Casual users should be very satisfied with the performance. While the mobile gamers should look elsewhere if they care about the gaming performance.
Nice to see the battery life improvements, but now I'll wait for real life feedback on the signal strength... After my experience with the Note 10+ I won't take any chances, hahaha...
Yes bro. Eventhough some reviews claim that exynos 2100 is poor compared to snapdragion, it is still much better than the last year exynos. For me, this is a good sign. I am still waiting for the trade in list, which should be available once the preorder is ended. If the price is good, then I will trade in my S20+ immediately. Lol.
As for the real life experience and signal performance, hopefully our brothers and sisters in here who already got the phone (exynos of course) can provide their experience very soon.
Ohh that’s great Exynos is not bad chipset only in GPU they lacking way behind hope next year with AMD they will improve a lot
Correct. If you don't care about the gaming performance, S21 series is a good choice. If not, then wait for their next iteration. Their gpu department should be improved a lot after team up with AMD.
Battery quite impressive. At least no more drain issue during night time.
Ok bro! So far what I heard from you and other owners are good news. Very nice! So now the final question. How is the signal reception? Is it good and acceptable? Wifi and 4g all good and stable?
I live in a bad reception area, my neighbours even went on TV3 to speak and plead Maxis to upgrade our signal strength here, with s10 plus almost ded no receive calls. With S21 Ultra, I am constantly getting one or two bars which is marginally better than what I experienced before.
Now this is what I like to see! Thanks bro!
attw Signal reception checked. No problem bro. It should be a safe buy.
