Hi all, why no one mention the smart tag? This smart tag, if works, would be a game changer. Smart key for smart home and can put on dog to track it etc...

Look forward to more freebies and discounts for this phone. It is either this or oppo x3 Pro. BTW is the extra 4gb ram matters? Thinking of going for ultra but don't know which one. I don't really need 512gb, but ram size matters?

Lastly on iPhone, I would have gotten iPhone 12 Pro last year if not I confirmed iPhone apps are country specific. I have to have access to some China apps like bank apps which are not available in Malaysia stote. That's the big flaw for me for iPhone.

Not same stuff... You sure as good as the new Samsung smart tag? Some of the shoppee tags don't even work or distance is very short plus no last location memory plus integrated with phone apps that work well.

Have you gotten that unique code? I am checking with live chat and no one has a clue, ie confirm I will get the Fit 2 if I order. Thanks.

I gotten answer from Samsung CS.

"Regarding for the Fit 2 code, you should already be receiving the email on 14th January 2021 parallel with the Galaxy Unpacked 2021 event. Kindly check your spam or junk folder. If you still did not receive the code and proceed with the new pre-order, unfortunately, you will not be getting the GFit 2 since you will need to put the code for redemption on our redemption website on the Galaxy S21 launch day which will be on 29th January 2021.



For the wireless charger trio, you will be receiving it if the pre-order is from Samsung online store. Currently, it is not showing online due to it will be given under mystery gift. Sorry for the confusion caused."

Good news is that you will get wireless charger trio even though not stated during Checkout. Bad news would be you would either get ANC earphone or Fit2. Also if you never input the code for Fit2 during Checkout for the pre-order, you probably wouldn't get it too. (Not confirmed and maybe I interpreted the email wrongly). This part is still murky.

This smart tag and the fact US started even to blacklist Xiaomi makes me want to go Samsung. But the non SD chips plus high costs make me think otherwise. Used to have two samsung phone including Note 2. Both broke down within 2 years with no warranty left and repair costs almost same as buying a new phone. Note 2 issue is that infamous memory fault which in China they replace for free even after warranty finished. In Malaysia and Singapore, no such luck. Power of the market base I guess.

ps: No free case too even if cheap rubber case.

Yeah I just got the FIT2 code too...

Can I check with the Samsung folks here, after 2 years or more where do you change your battery? Samsung repair shop? If so what's the estimated costs?

I am still thinking if I should pull the trigger, seems like battery performance not as good as SD version. Also current I have oppo W31 wireless ear bud that I am not using, if buy from Samsung shop gives another wireless ear bud and usb c ear bud. Seems too many I don't use any and I don't know if got people want to buy even at half price?

Fit 2 can be wireless charged too?

Do you know if can redeem the fitbit2 if order from Court?

Thanks. BTW where do you get this link? And I assume redemption starts on 29th Jan 00:00?

Yes thanks to you for the offer, I finally decided to give Samsung a chance after that infamous Note 2 hardware memory failure issue which turned my phone into a brick. Originally I wanted to wait for oppo x3 Pro, but I really like the smart tag feature... Hope it doesn't disappoint.

Just got woken up by courts people confirming my order with the free gifts and also they use their own lorry instead of courier. So hopefully delivery will be smooth. Now to buy casing, s pen Pro when it is out. Anyway wants the Samsung live bud pro? COD in jb and I will let go cheap. Name me a price.

Actually any USB C cable and adapter will work fine right? I am planning to use my Huawei charger and those I bought in China.

Is the IMEI found on the box? Or must physically get into the phone to get? I haven't got mine.... Hopefully tomorrow.

Check your junk mail or do a search for Samsung email. Send email to Samsung support to get them to send you the code. Last alternative is to ask some bros who registered but did not buy to give you the code. Originally I wanted to give the code here but the court offer too good and I finally pull the plug...

Yes they should have done what oppo did. Spilt into 2 batteries. Could be a patent issue.

Btw for charging, is wireless charging bad? Read somewhere wireless charging heats up the phone real bad. Direct charging or wireless charging better for phone?

Try shoppee courts. Discount still there but free gifts you need to check with customer service.

It was there since morning 12 midnight. You need to change the left one to online. But I don't think it matters.

Yes fitbit 2 can still be redeemed. You get the anc when they deliver the phone. Fitbit2 for preorder you need to redeem via separate link. Someone posted it here and I don't have it on the phone. For the first 10k redemption. Not sure if Malaysia can sell 10k of s21? My phone only will arrive Sunday. Invoice and imei only retrievable then...

Thanks for explanation. I guess I will just use wireless, protect wear and tear of USB c hole lol 😂

I don't intend to use case too this time round until casing with s pen Pro is out. Did you remove both the pre installed tempered glass? I think gorilla victus should be strong enough to withstand scratches.

This ugreen one you recommend, costs rm 99 right? Also the pd here means iphone can use too?

This charger supports qc tech, but s21 not using SD, not sure if exynos support or not.

Yes Court is fast. Ordered 28th Jan delivered today 30th Jan. But inside the box just the separate boxes with no air plastic cushion. Hope no damage during transport. BTW did your Court order came with receipt and invoice? Mine came only with a delivery note. Now I don't know which invoice or receipt to submit for the FITBIT2.


I am thinking of selling mine too. Mine if I ask how much you sold off the bud pro?


Courts based on 2 folks who ordered took only 2 days.

Thank you for explanation. Wah still need to have e-Marker.... something new. I guess I will just order whatever UGreen recommend.

FIT2 has 10k allocation. I doubt got 10k S21 sales pre order. So don't worry.

Quick update on my S21 Ultra. Brings back old memories of Note 2. Hope Samsung doesn't disappoint after 6 years of not using!

So far so good. Coming from Sony, Huawei user, Samsung UI seems to be able to customize more and so far quite stable.

Colour I use Vivid, the Natural looks a bit dull compared to Sony's Natural. Still a lot more settings to explore. Phone is quite hot which surprises me since 5nm chip should generate less heat. Also seems like Galaxy UI takes up a lot of space, almost 35GB of System software that I cannot even go in to take a look what it is. I bought the 256GB version. Looks like if I take a lot of pictures and videos, memory might be a stretch.

Phone restarting strangely takes a while compared to my Huawei P20 Pro. I thought S21 should be super fast?

A lot of features to explore for this new phone, especially in future when S pen pro is out.

Oh, for those who do not already know, you can subscribe to youtube Premium for free (4 months for Ultra). Just subscribe using the Youtube app inside the phone. Savings of around RM54 (considering 1 month is free by default).
