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.  tongue.gif

EDITED: Opppss ... RMCO, not MCO. Hope to receive on the same day then.  rclxm9.gif

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.

THis is for Snapdragon 888 variant I guess

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.

So are you compelled to upgrade this round bro? smile.gif

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.

I guess this is the 1st time Samsung Malaysia doing a liveshow on TV? Anyway, I suppose these TV events are replacing the roadshow.

Phone hardware design.

Or

Software optimization.

Received case this time Samsung really up the case quality. It feels solid, grippy and especially the side texture. Really love it.

Nice photo. How is the weight bro? Does it make the phone much heavier after applying?

Currently I only got case. Phone will arrive today.

Later will try out to check is it heavy or not.

But case alone got some weight.

Ok. I also would like to get the same casing as well. Let me know your experience after you get your phone. Thanks.

I think it's reasonable. Since you are using hotspot whole day. Try one day don't open the hotspot, I am sure the SOT will be much better.

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. biggrin.gif
