hey guys, would love to get your opinion here on few items for my S21 Ultra

1. Hydrogel SP

Clear vs Matte (i play games, MLBB to be exact, and currently still using the original SP since i'm unable to decide which SP to go to, but yes clear type kinda attract lots of fingerprints after gaming)

X-One Stealth 3 vs Goozilla Matte 3 vs Rockspace - which one is better? I know pricing wise Goozile is higher, would love some experience sharing here


2. Casing

- Currently using Ringke Fusion X, however looking forward to Spigen Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G Case Liquid Air (Pen Edition) --> i plan to get the S Pen in future and this is the only 3rd party case which i think looks legit and affordable compared to Samsung's

Do you guys have any recommendation on casing? With or without S-Pen, would love to hear your experiences too =)




3. Unrelated to phone, but anyone have experience with Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro?

- currently using Sony WF1000XM3, but a little annoyed with the size and bulkyness, and seems like Buds pro fits well in overall
- worth to sell my Xm3 for Buds Pro?

Samsung phones is known to be emitting the least radiation among all the smartphone brands, that's the reason why it's signal reception might be weaker than other brands. Check this out, although it is old: https://www.digitalinformationworld.com/201...-radiation.html

Can you check the signal strength dBm in the device status and compare with your Huawei?

Btw 4G and H+ too.

So far seems to be issue with S21. Does S21+ or Ultra have same reception issue?

Yes its pain. Might have to hope Huawei P50 has Google again.

Anyone here got their Fit2 redemption already?

This is especially true in Thailand. When I am in middle of nowhere still can get full bar of 4G+ for TrueMove. Here in Malaysia, indoors already will drop to H+.

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.

I pre order the liquid air with s pen slot from spigen website. But still not yet ship. Think it's pre order.

Yay new version already

I am using Ringke Fusion Matte and camera part not covered is my big concern also. Have you try to install camera tempered glass? I am getting one to give a try.

I used Rockspace Clear type on my n20u. It is clear but rubbery. The problem is, it is soft and the edge of SP easily lifted by my ringke/spigen case. Maybe the cutting not too good as well. I will still prefer original SP instead of install this type.

For casing, i am getting Samsung original silicone cover. Looks promising and also it covered the camera parts. This is the only one I found so far. Hope it works good once received.

May I know when I can place order? Malaysia got spigen website?

wow away few days alrd new thread

actually a lot thread over 2500 post but also didn't make new thread

hmm
just wonder black vs silver
black no stock
silver got stock
thinking if i order
can change to black or not .hahaha

Idk, most people start new thread at around 100-200 pages. So, decided to start anew. Besides, Pre-order bonuses in V1 is no longer relavent. Now, we wait for price drop.

anyone with s21ultra start using X one SP already?

had good experience previously using Xone , quite durable and reasonable pricing.

after put casing nobody will notice

ya, continue wait the price drop

Court still offers 8% discount on their website, so the the cheapest you can buy.

Me too, waiting for them to drop the bundle freebies and reduce the price.

x-one first batch SP is shitty product. not casing friendly SP. The designer never think before plotting the SP size.

Wow that Spigen case is pretty sweet, gotta consider. Right now I using the rather expensive Smart cover case with s-pen.. until I install a good TG screen protector and camera protector.
