during these tough times, lots of people are out of jobs, recession and phone makers still dare to price it so high. Removing all those free things from the package. Forcing people to go out and buy.
Samsung is selling the adapter for $20.

Maybe Samsung thinks that if you can afford RM3k, 4k, 5k for a phone, cannot $20 charger meh?

But $20 (RM80+) is still significant for Malaysian consumers, since it can fill a full tank of petrol already.

Yes for $20 USD or SGD its nothing much to them but for us third world countries its alot. But they might do it for their cheaper lines too. The M, A series.
Anyway i feel even from my S10e to S21 its a downgrade cause no headphone jack, SD card, glass back and original charger.

I do feel that there are few reasons why the Pre-Order via Samsung Online Store is getting delayed
1) DHL took longer time to process the order.
2) Not enough ready stock to fulfill the Pre-Order due to MCO

I suspected that most of the stocks was delivered to Partners or Telco like Courts, SenHeng, SenQ which they delivered earlier that actual date.
Perhaps the demand for the direct order via  Samsung Online Store is more than their partners thus the stocks not enought to furfill.
I noticed something on the arrangement of delivery from Samsung Online Store.
For those who pre-order earlier was delivered by DHL eCommerce, and those who Pre-Order later was delivered by Pickupp.

Those who click on the url in the order page provided by Samsung probably have seen this screen .

Probably those delivery were screwed up by DHL, thus Samsung SDS swapped to another Courier (Pickupp) instead.

Just my assumption and from what i read and see here and from the experience of my friend who did pre-order with Samsung Online Store.

I have a feeling Samsung official store ships directly from another country thats why its slow...whereas SenQ, Maxis etc they ship from that country early beforehand.

As ex S8 user, this is true
Even S8 screen better than S21+
And that is a phone 3.5 yrs ago

simple really, the S8 has a 5.8" 1440p screen and the S21+ has a 6.7" 1080p screen. So the pixel density should be obvious here. Colour and energy efficiency the S21 should of course be better.
