Not many people using smart switch now. Just use your google account. It will automatically transfer your contact if you save it on your google account. For files and pictures you can transfer it manually through cable via your pc laptop. Same also to Mac but a little bit slower & complicated smile.gif

I just watched the video for Goozilla installation.

And I realize he uses water in between the SP and screen. Well that's something new for phone SP installation for me

coming from OnePlus, i do agree its not as fast/sensitive as OP.
however i learned the trick to use the fingerprint scanner.

i just have to place my entire thumb on it, and press it for 1-2s (sometime with abit force) - note: im still using the factory SP from samsung not tempered glass
learned from my experience from using A51 (my working phone) with a thick matte tempered glass (of course A51 response is even worse)

however, if fingerprint is a hassle, the face recognition is kinda fast though (i think fastest i ever experience too to unlock)

initially had some problem with the fingerprint scanner especially when finger is abit dry..but try to do an all-round scan of fingerprint, the result is much better..no issue for me now

This is quite true. The signal strenght on my S21 Ultra not as strong with my IP12 Pro Max when I swap the sim card in the same area. The IP12 Pro Max is using SD X55 modem which has better reception signal compared to the Exynos modem

At least now I feel I am not the odd one out to point out S21's flaw. Sometimes people compare only to previous version of Samsung but forgot a lot of us came from other phones as well. There are also lots of good points with Samsung which bros here point out or via reviews. So I will not contribute much on the pros. Just a few not mentioned, again small thing but I appreciate. Eg the always on screen feature when someone is reading the screen.... very useful for me when reading stuff. I am a slow reader so it is nice to not always have to move the screen to prevent time out. I believe only Sony has this feature apart from Samsung. Correct me if I am wrong.

Another 2 things I have to comment on S21 Ultra. Firstly the pic quality seems not as sharp and as good. Granted it could be lightning and person issue. I am hoping the new Feb update would improve it. My friend is saying maybe too many faces in that pic. Maybe other phones behave this way too given the situation.

I am on PC/laptop wechat what'sapp a lot. Sometimes the program will show disconnected status. This is I think due to Samsung not having internet on while your phone is not active and screen locked. Intermittent meaning not always. So sometimes wechat on PC the message arrive but phone will take a while. What's app will show disconnected. Huawei confirm no such issue. Maybe there's some optimization setting somewhere I can do on the app or the phone itself. But doing it will deplete battery further.

The Whatsapp disconnect thing is caused by the optimization settings for the battery.

Long press and hold your app icon > select Battery > Remove whatsapp from Optimise battery usage

This affects a lot of apps, not only Whatsapp. If you use Telegram/Wechat/Teams etc you can change this setting for them too.

I'm officially a S21 Ultra owner. Was having reservations on the overheating issue, but purchased it anyway, hoping for the best.
True enough, it was quite hot during setup. Day 2 seems much better with constant web browsing and app use. Hopefully it gets better overtime.

not really for the spen

QUOTE(tomastan4134 @ Feb 18 2021, 02:17 PM)
go for the ultra. 

superior camera and functionality.   

think of it this way.  you invest in a better phone for long term usage. say 3~4 years.    is not like you are going to upgrade phone every year right. 

so go for the ultra. 

really worth it.

i never use an android for more than a year, average 3-6 months.

QUOTE(ChaChaZero @ Feb 18 2021, 02:30 PM)
Yes, it really is worth the extra RM 800. You're getting a better screen, much better cameras, S-Pen functionality, slightly better battery life and the sizes are so similar you won't feel a difference holding/using it compared to the S21+.

Your options should really be either the S21 or S21 Ultra only. The Plus feels like a redundant device that offers nothing much when compared with the S21 and S21 ultra.

slightly better battery if i set at fhd+ for the ultra
similar size but heavier for the ultra
why i'm considering the plus and the ultra and not the vanila s21 is because the battery

what i see is rm800 for the zoom camera and qhd display. what else did i miss?

You pretty much summed it up.

The Ultra's screen is actually more power efficient than the S21+ as it has a VRR of 10 to 120 hz. If you're going to use it on FHD+, you'll see a much bigger battery improvement when compared to the S21+.

Then again, if cameras and stylus isn't something you need and you intend on using FHD+, there is no reason to consider the Ultra to begin with.

When the battery is the most important point, S21+ makes more sense.

Thanks, will try. Just as I expected some settings issue. I guess Samsung did it to save battery.

S21 still has this feature. I wrote it as a pro. If not people just say why I concentrate on the cons.

Overheating issue is definitely there or rather because of the settings you use. Highest resolution with adaptive refresh rate heats up faster. Cannot do more than few mins of recording too, heats up.

True bro, but my intention is for Samsung to improve on it. Or maybe my needs not main users need. Just that I have high expectation for this phone due to online review plus price. Don't get me wrong, I am using this phone almost a week. Stable phone just some tweaks here and there to make it better.

Looks way better. You can get the aurora colour effect at different light conditions.

You have the option to show the aurora effect. Or full black stealth using black casing like nilkin slide case. Which. Has a camera sliding cover
