It's normal bro. You shall not worry for the ram management. Samsung phone is like that one. If the phone only got 8gb, the ram usage will be at near to 4gb. Another 4gb left. If the phone got 12gb like yours, then the ram usage will be at around 8gb. And 4gb left inside the phone. It's normal. I have been using many samsung phones before. All have the same "symptom". Lol.

This time no road show. Only in store promotion. Buy any S21 phone in samsung stores, free galaxy fit 2 + smart tag + wireless charger trio. Trade in available. That's all.

Regarding the Note 21, yes. Samsung already hinted that Note will be discontinued. So no Note 21 this year. However, leaker said that Note 20 Fe is on the way. So most likely cones with SD chip, with plastic back.

Edit: what's wrong with the forum these days. Keep getting those double post glitches

Bro. If you are a hardcore mobile gamer, why not you consider last year snapdragon 865 phones like rog phone? Last year phones are good for gaming. This year either 2100 or snapdragon 888 cannot maintain the heat. If you keep gaming in your phone I am afraid your battery will kong faster. 😅

Damn you bro. Keep showing off your sd865 in here ya. Luckily nowadays fanboys are lesser compared to few years back. If not they will bash you kau kau. Lol. Just kidding.

Anyway, your 2nd hand phone sure in very good condition. Battery tahan lasak. You are so lucky. I sure won't dare to take the risk. Especially now with the pendemic all around the world. Lol.

Here. Been trade with them since note 5 era. Depends on your device condition. If perfect, then they will offer you grade A price. If your phone condition is not perfect, then they will check how bad it is and will offer you accordingly. Last time they will check your phone with their naked eyes, testing the phone manually. Now they are using special app to diagnose your phone. Will take about 15-20 mins for the whole process.

Which samsung shop? Make sure you go to SES (samsung experience store). Their offer will be more legit. Also , when they offer you the price lower than you expected, then you should ask them why. After they explain you the reason, then you should justify whether it's acceptable or not. They will only offer the price, the rest is up to you.

Normally, you still can decide whether you should just walk away and sell it with higher price in somewhere else. But since now is pendemic & MCO situation, God knows how and when you can sell it. May be by that time, the price will drop even further. So I suggest you just take the offer. Save your time on searching high and low for potential buyers. Just my 2 cents.

Well, that's for the online sales record. But for 2nd hand market (cod), the situation is totally different. Thanks to the interstate ban. Haiya~~~~~

Straight updated to the latest patch right after I bought my S21+. So far, I can only say it's Superb! First impression, the battery life compared to last year S20+ is day and night!

Yes. It's less sharper than S20+. But once you get used to it, you won't notice it. For me, it's not a big deal. Probably because I already get used to S10lite screen, which is also fhd. So I have no problem with that.

Small tip for you, don't compare your phone to other qhd phone. If you keep compare it, your brain will keep telling you the difference. Stay away from your old phone. Just focus on your new phone.

Oh sorry bro. I don't play mobile game. Haha. After using it for 2 days, the battery learning pattern is still running. But so far I can tell the followings (compared to my ex S20+).

1. Battery life is great! Especially browsing internet (wifi)

Both in Fhd + 120hz

S20+ : 6-7 min drained 1%

S21+: 14-15 min drained 1%


2. Standby drain excellent! No more battery life leakage!

S20+ : 8 hours drained 3-4 % (wifi on)

S21+ : 8 hours drained 1-2 % (wifi on)


3. Stay at 100% for longer time (battery percentage calculation more accurate)

S20+: dropped to 99% in 15-20 min after full charged.

S21+: dropped to 99% in 8 hours after full charged.

4. Signal reception great. Especially wifi reception. (4G not tested yet due to MCO 2.0)

S20+ : 2-3 bars at the same spot

S21+ : 3-4 bars at the same spot

5. App installation. S21+ is faster than S20+. The difference is significant.


Summary: Exynos 2100 is far more superior compared to Exynos 990. No doubt about that! As for gaming, I can't tell you how it performs. But for battery life, I can assure you that this S21+ is a beast!

Hold on bro. He comes here to kacau us lah. He is using S20 ultra snapdragon version. Don't fall into his trap lah. Lol.

Oh and one more reason bro you may forgot. S21+ factory screen protector is just a plastic film. So it will affect the clarity in certain extent. For example, I used my S10 lite with factory screen protector for about 7-8 months. After I took it off, I found out the screen clarity is improved. So ya. May be you can take the screen protector off your S21+. To test the power of victus screen. Lol.

Anyway, just wanted to tell you the possible factor that make you feel not sharp in your S21+ screen.

I have no idea. Haha. But right now it's a good time to test it out since we are stucked at home. I am sure got some users will go naked. We just need to wait for the reports. Lol.

Yes my friend. After using some samsung flagships since few years ago, I am well acknowledged that Samsung battery 100 percentage is fake one. So when I was charging my S21+ for the first time, I said to myself, the same problem would happen again. After full charged, I put the phone aside and I went to sleep. Next morning, I woke up and checked the phone. And you know what. I shouted and said wtf!? Battery percentage at 99%?! This is not the samsung phone I am familiar with! I was shocked! Ya. Other people might think that I am overexaggerating, but you and me as the samsung fan boys (yes. I watched your videos. Nice collection of Samsung phones in there bro😁), know that this is phenomenal! I almost cried. 😭


I tell you guys. After been waiting for so many years, this year exynos is the one! Of course, next year AMD gpu will be the new king. But for now, I am really happy with my S21+. I am literally smelling when I am using it. 😆

2 possible reason why your tab doesn't have this problem

1. Snapdragon

2. One ui 1.1


May be they already fixed it in one ui 3.1 or exynos 2100

Like the old chinese people saying. Old stuff quality is tahan lasak and not easy to break. Lol.

For daily usage, I don't feel any warm. I don't play mobile games. So i can't tell you that.

I think it's normal if you feel warm while using the phone. As long as it doesn't interrupt your usage, then it should be fine. You try look at mi11, when the phone is too hot, it would stop any app you are using and keep disturbing you with warning messages. That's annoying.

Haha. Ya. Already trade in lo. I always act fast on new 3C release. PS5? First day walk-in ordered. New phone? First day launch walk-in paid ciao. Come to think of it, most of my samsung phones were bought on first day launch/ roadshows. Lol

Once upon a time a wiseman said. Buy early enjoy early. Buy later enjoy discount. 😆

??? If oneplus is close down in future, or they decide to get rid of that slider one day, then how you gonna survive by then? Just kidding. Lol.

Swipe down your notification shade. Press on the sound button 2 times.

Universal rule for using smart phone.

Don't use your phone when charging. Especially gaming and heavy multitasking.

Kind of surprised you don't know about this rule. What's your previous phone?
