Whenever Apple is removing something from its box, the rest of the phone manufacturers will follow soon or later. The best part is they shamelessly mock Apple before following suit.

If they have also registered their interest through Samsung Malaysia’s website before, they will also receive a code to redeem Galaxy Fit2 once they have confirmed their pre-order. The wireless charger offer comes with the Buds Live instead of the latest Buds Pro with ANC? QUOTE(TTY81 @ Jan 15 2021, 06:10 AM) any idea what is the free gift they mentioned when pre registering interest and how to get it? was reading is supposed to be a active 2 watch It’s a Galaxy Fit 2 and not a Watch This post has been edited by attw: Jan 15 2021, 07:58 AM

As a non-gamer, I’ve never picked an issue with Exynos over their speed, but my main issue was the poor signal strength and strange idle battery drain. That was the reason I gave up buying Samsung with Exynos chips after my experience with the Note 10+. QUOTE(mycolumn @ Jan 15 2021, 08:25 AM) So no charger, micro sd, using exynos, no s pen. Everything buy separate. Mock apple in the beginning, but follow them at the end too. 🤦‍♀️ Don’t forget no headphone jack QUOTE(msacras @ Jan 15 2021, 08:47 AM) Samsung’s policy had always been early birds get free gifts while people that can wait get true discounts minus those free gifts. I bet they will just throw in a charger for early birds. Right, so either buy during preorder, or wait 3-6 months QUOTE(off_shore @ Jan 15 2021, 08:54 AM) Why US price is cheaper but in MY the price is more $$. They said this time will be cheaper la.. bla... bla.. bla.. but now I see a total different sorry... guess gonna skip this pre order round cuz as usual, the price will drop after a few months lol. Typical samsung. The announced US price is usually without taxes as different states have different tax rates. The final buying price would end up being higher than $799 or $999. That said though, you have a point, usually we will get lower than these prices here in Malaysia even after conversion. I guess Samsung is moving the goalposts.

QUOTE(Max2006 @ Jan 15 2021, 11:32 AM)

Haha. I knew we will meet again in this thread, bro!

So I guess you will wait for price drop right? Which model you are aiming at? Ultra?

As for me, my heart asks me to change. But my brain tells me to stick with S20+/S10 lite. Lol. The battery life on my S20+ is killing me. The S21+ with 4800 mAh is really tempting! But all those downgrades....Oh the dilemma.

Hey bro! I’m tempted to try the S21+ but will wait for feedback on the new Exynos chipset and also for the price to drop. Won’t go near the Ultra due to the price

QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Jan 15 2021, 11:33 AM)

Haha! high possibility.

Unless they give free TV again, hahaha...

This could also be a reason for price increase It’s worth nothing the S20 series came with 128GB of base storage but the S21 series has double that. QUOTE(PeeEl @ Jan 15 2021, 12:18 PM) Perhaps you are aware I was looking to get a phone for the past few months. Towards end of last November, due to the lack of choice, got a Note20 Ultra. Against the Note10+ I had immediately before this, I would say the former is much better overall. Btw, both are the Exynos variant. Then first week of this year, switched to an iPhone 12Pro Max. And this is to address your point. I had been on iOS for many years until the 7 series. After that, have been using Android. After a day of playing around with it, for the life of me, I just could not get back to the swing of iOS. You know what? Sold the phone on the 2nd day. LOL. So yeah, right you are, Apple is a different animal. Thus, again, my antenna is out for another phone. Hence, lurking around to sponge up more information before deciding. Exactly, having used both Apple and Android phones extensively over the years I submit that changing around just because you “don’t like” any particular model or decision a company is making such as removing the charging brick or SD card slot isn’t that simple, and everyone should be well aware of this before going “I hate this S21, I’m gonna switch to Apple”... I guarantee they’ll be switching back within a couple of months with their tails firmly between their legs This post has been edited by attw: Jan 15 2021, 12:56 PM soitsuagain liked this post

Screen size + battery life important QUOTE(Max2006 @ Jan 15 2021, 04:19 PM) Confirmed bro. It's the same one on Note 20 vanilla. Oh OK, noted on that. At least the S21+ is glass. It’s not a matter of whether you put a case on it or not, but I think paying over RM3k for a phone with a plastic back is a bit much, no matter how nice the plastic “feels”. But that’s just me. Thanks for the confirmation guys!

Seems like Apple really want to force everyone to go iCloud. I dont mind paying, but if Apple come out with a software that allows me to easily transfer from iphone to PC/other devices via USB cable, i dont mind paying for it. it's really frustrating that simple actions that could be done over USB cable on android over few minutes process, have to go to the extend of uploading and downloading from cloud which could be very frustrating if dont have a very stable and high speed internet. iphone 12 does not have finger print sensor, with the mask on that prevent face ID, there's high tendency of typo on password on the go as well.... Yeah, my point exactly. That’s why I refrain from telling folks to either jump to Android or jump to iOS when they tell me their frustrations or ask me for recommendations. Both have their pros and cons and may or may not be suitable to one’s needs and requirements so I don’t go around making claims that iOS or Android is more stable or has more bugs, etc. Buy and use whatever suits your needs and you’ll be fine. I use both so I enjoy the best and tolerate the worst of both worlds QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Jan 16 2021, 12:08 AM) Being an early adopter for samsung phones promises kaw kaw losses when u resell no ,atter qhat. Ya man... hypocrisy at its best. I'd be ashamed if I am Samsung, even their fans should be. Agreed. The only way not be lose too much is if you really want the free gifts or you sell those free gifts as soon as you receive them, otherwise yeah, being an early adopter for Samsung phones is sure fire rugi business. Oh, of course, there is the bragging rights, if people are still into that, hahaha. So given your stance on phone makers that don’t supply charging bricks, I guess you can add Samsung to your list of boycott, huh? Heh heh.. Let’s see if your beloved OnePlus follows suit bro
