After owning the a 5G capable phone for a year without 5G coverage, that is how I truly feel. Should have just held back on the purchase since upgrades are just minimal upgrades here and there, not much innovation and ultimately excitement.
And to make it even worse, this round they are shortchanging us on a bloody Rm5 charging brick for a phone costing Rm5k and above. How about no?
Ever since I got the phone, it keeps using data on my SIM 2 (prepaid)! Even though Mobile Data is only switched on for SIM 1 (my primary postpaid). Anyone had same issue? You guys better check too. Never had this issue on prev Huawei phone.

Me too. But after few days not liking the tactile feel. Esp if your hands a bit oily. Next case I'll get a case with some texture, or those softer silicone instead of super smooth like this one.
Oh yes it does. Especially those UV glue type tempered glass. Tested X-One UV type on S20+ and totally cannot use the fingerprint reader at all. After trying a few soft type (nano or hydrogel) and cannot tahan, then I settled for Blue O brand. This one my fingerprint reader works but the detection rate drops by easily 50%.
I hear good feedbacks so far on T-Max or Whitestone Dome (not sure available for S21 series yet) though. But these are not readily available from where I come from.
I hv 2 extra. There is a round cutout for the fingerprint area.
I was in my carpark just now. Signal switched to 3G with only 1 bar. Previous Huawei P20 Pro still 4G with 2 to 3 bars, accessing internet not an issue. Granted I know Huawei phone has better signal than my previous Sony, I wonder if Samsung signal really that off? I guess folks with good area coverage would not face this problem. One thing I like to seek Samsung guru's help, when there are missed message, there's no led indicator permanently on for S21. Internet says S20 uses edge lighting. I tried the only edge lighting setting I could find. The lighting only lasts for a while when message comes in.
How do I have a permanent light indicator to indicate there's pending message, reminder, tasks, etc? Notification indicator while the screen is off.
Thanks.
Wah now that you mention it. I had Huawei P20 as well. Yes signal reception seems better with the P20. Maybe can get 1 bar more, and stays on 4G more often.
Just got the S21U over the weekend and still getting back to the Samsung groove after all those Pixel years. Initially battery life was just average but after some tweaks and changes, and it seems to be getting better. Also found this youtube clip on making fingerprint scans faster, and it seems to make sense. Just tried it so will see how accurate it is.
Thanks for posting. This works great!
I know others have seen before, but I didn't know. Maybe should be a sticky!
