That's a shame, a branded high quality case should have perfect cutout and should not block the earpiece speaker and cause distortion. Maybe request for a replacement instead.

Yeah I will keep it in my drawer for time being, I'm now using liquid armor from the same brand lol, much better but lose the kickstand. And I kind of wrestled to take the Hybrid S off my phone coz it's so tight, until I thought I bent the phone haha whistling.gif

I wonder why AOD battery consumption still high on S21 with Exynos2100, compared to Huawei phones. I noticed it's at least around 5-7% overnight.

Sad but true, how much is your AOD consumption on SD overnight (8H)?

How long did you have the phone? Bluetooth & Location on?

I thought my N20 with Exynos 990 overnight 5% is already bad (no Bluetooth). Exynos2100 also?
*
2 weeks with the phone, bluetooth off/location on. idle drain is improved on Exynos2100 but not with AOD active I would say.

Just found an app that can set 'minimum refresh rate=48hz' for AOD during screen off , claims to improve battery life, i will try that and report back

today visited sakurazz for installation of T-Max Tempered Glass for S21U

I would say great experience, as he's punctual and really gave me the tips and tricks on to install UV glue TG. and how we can tackle the fingerprint issue.

In this case, so far my experience with the T-Max TG is great, no issue, and at a cheaper price compared to Whitestone Dome (alot cheaper at least 2x haha)

I would recommend his service to install the T-Max TG for us, and i vouch for this brand too =DD
*
Yeah if i ever needed a TG for my S21U will definitely visit him haha....So far fingerprint no issue? why need to "tackle" if it's okay...

Is yours the S21Ultra with 108MP lens? If yes, then I am not at all surprised because that is one the main reason why I got the N20 with 12MP lens instead of the N20U with 108MP lens. I don't take zoom photos so I don't need the 108MP anyway.

Some Youtube reviewers did mention about the 108MP lens being slower to focus and time between shots. But some reviewers probably sucking up to Samsung and everything good.

BTW, having the N20 and I compared it to a Note10. And guess what? The N10 can record a shot FASTER than the N20. Go figure.... And personally find the N10 takes better photos than the N20. So those with N10, don't bother upgrading.
*
I can concur that, my N10 is everything nice except for the battery (because using old Exynos), the form factor is the sweetest of all smartphones, just nice to hold in hands and surfing net when lying on bed. Too bad they increase the size for N20 and don't think they will return to N10 size.

unlike other devices sensor, samsung one is considered high security type, meaning you gotta be precise to unlock it (to prevent duplication or theft easily, but in the expense of user friendly i guess)

so, instead of us registering our fingerprint in many different ways of unlocking the phone (which make the registration less accurate due to too many conditions of fingerprint), we can register our fingerprint as how we normally hold our phone and just adjust slightly on the angle, somehow it reduces the error in detecting our fingerprint
2ndly, its related to UV glue, regardless of any brand, the UV glue will be a factor that affect the sensitivity fingerprint sensing, hence if you wan less issue, we try to minimize the thickness of the UV glue at the fingerprint sensor portion during Uv curing
*
That's what I called PRO. Thanks for the tip, I will try to register my fingerprint again following your advice and see if accuracy can be improved. Somehow I feel the S21U fingerprint not much better than my N10.

If you think N20 is big, wait till you hold the N20U. From the spec sheet, S21Ultra even more so.
*
I have S21U and N10, that's why I'm still using my main sim on the N10 because it's to me more like a everyday phone where I can easily carry around in my pocket. Until samsung releases another N10 alike phone I will stick to N10 for now 😅

anyone can confirm, which country of origin sd888 version is compatible with local telco (Digi)? or which dont.
*
Both US and HK versions (most likely these 2 variants are sold on shopee/lazada) are compatible with our local telco. But I think HK version is better coz it has dual sim and can support samsung pay. Not sure about samsung pay with US set but if you are okay with single sim and doesn't care about samsung pay, go for cheaper US variant.

Maybe one thing, just the speakers that I'm complaining, not sure is it "too crisp" that I can hear "too much details", or it's just not better than the speakers on my N10 lol

Can buy within 30 days only after you buy the phone

As for extended warranty. I think within 6 months

Interested to know this too, for eg. which seller to go to? and what are the processes (send our receipt to seller)?

to get the warranty

safest is to go to samsung service center nod.gif

im thinking if i want to get mine as well

tho since note 8/note9/note10+ days i've never cracked the screen before

so... not sure if i want to invest RM168 (i think) for the s21U screen protection.
*
Yeah probably first time thinking to extend my warranty too because first time spending so much on a phone sweat.gif and plan to use it beyond 1 year for the first time (lol)

Maybe I will go for KTS on shopee/lazada as they claim can help to extend and the warranty will be reflected on your samsung account.

I wish to keep the original one but after 1 month use the screen protector got so many scratches and got few serious scratches, I think due to the key inside my pocket...so no choice have to change new one....

I usually don't put keys and phone in the same pocket...guys pants got 3 pockets 😂😅
