Hi, i v been a photographer for almost 20 years. I tried hundres of shots ranging from high end dslr cameras to mobile.
I used to take photos with Note10 plus, and the latest one is S21 Ultra 16gb ram. What i noticed was when taking BOKEH photos with live focus/ protrait mode, the old Note 10 plus rendered much much better than s21 ultra Bokeh elements, which i guaranteed close to natural dslr lens bokeh in Note10 plus.

While the latest high end S21 ultra is struggling to assimilate the natural dslr bokeh with uneven and false , fake edge as if i am using the 300dollar phones!!!!
I am very disappointed, i bought an expensive phone, expectiing more than jus a 2 year old phone like note 10 plus!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Note 10 plus had dedicated ToF sensor to help with potrait shots
Where S21U Samsung removed ToF sensor and replaced with Laser AF so they might be has some difference my mom has Note10+ and My using S21U I would say both are performed equally S21U will blow Note10 in zoom shots even in 10x zoom gets clear images than Note10 even my iPhone XS
Maybe it’s also software bugs

Let me jump on the bandwagon and give my 2 sen.

But before that, can I implore you people to address the subject matter which only then would be meaningful debates, if you will, instead of addressing the person. When attended in such a manner, the forum would achieve its intention and that is to gather intel and learn about what we are interested in.

Back to subject proper. Samsung phones in our neck of the woods, for whatever reason, have weaker phone signal. I am talking through experience. Having a Note 10+, Note 20Ultra, iPhone 12Pro Max, Huawei P30 Pro and Mate30 Pro simultaneously, the Samsungs’ signal is somehow not on par with the rest. With that said, it is not often that the phones heat up while searching for signal. Only in rare cases. Nonetheless, the other phones don’t struggle as much during those occasions, looking for signal. So, yeah, Samsung phones here in Malaysia with the Exynos SoC is weaker, phone signal wise, comparatively.

However, there will be instances when a certain telco has its tower nearby and you happen to be using a Samsung phone with that telco’s SIM card, obviously signal strength will be stronger compared to another brand’s phone with a different telco card in it. Which means, all such situations must be taken cognisance of.
*
In my case, I found Samsung's signal strength has gotten weaker over the years.

Right now I have a Note20 and a Note7FE on same telco network and side by side. Both Exynos.

Note7FE will show signal strength of 4 bars. With 86dBM.
Note20 will show 2 bars. With 118dBm.

Ya, I was disappointed.

I was told to check for dBm indicating signal strength.
Go to: Setting/About Phone/Status Information/Sim Card Status/Signal Strength.

See above ESR TPU casing didnt touch the camera module edge, so you are safe to install camera TG or any protector.

Not like Ringke, it got cover the edge of camera module, sounds better protection but will have problem to install camera TG or any camera protector. This is the problem I am having now.
Protect the edge of camera module is not good enough for me.

the whitestone camera TG seems working fine and well with Ringke case, based on this youtuber here.

I was deciding between the Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra. 2 reasons why I didn't get the ultra was, I hardly ever take zoom photos and secondly, I find the focusing slow. Not good taking hyperactive children photos.

1 thing I now do regret is, the phone has poor signal strength compared to previous Samsung.

Poor signal is the 'TRADEMARK' of Samsung Phone since Note10....

They never improved and cannot be solved using software update....

Even in house, using UNIFI, also will drop signal...... bangwall.gif bangwall.gif bangwall.gif bangwall.gif bangwall.gif bangwall.gif

Which forum in particular?

There was an issue with heavy ads in the Lowyat forums not long ago until it was blocked by the admins. You can try using Brave browser to see if you still have this issue as Brave does not load ads. If it still lags with Brave then it might be something else.

I had that issue a few weeks ago but not anymore. If you try to scroll down, see what ads are appearing on the website. Some ads cause problems for Chrome on mobile.

Refer to this thread for the issue: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5096129

I decided to try out a Note10 also. Same telco. Same location. Note 10 was -110 dBm. N20 is slightly worst at -114dBm.

Everybody keep improving but Samsung keep moving backward.
