Just got my S21 Ultra yesterday. Wanted to get the 512GB version but don't have stock with ETA unknown. So went for the 256GB. Got the std free gifts plus free 1 yr extended warranty + 1 yr screen protection and free silicon case with S Pen

QUOTE(DeZeque @ Mar 9 2021, 01:47 PM) mind sharing which SES did you make the purchase? just went to sunway putra mall and they even finished the extended warranty quota... and no additional free gift of case and s pen... I went to the Samsung at Central I-City mall. You can look for Jamil as I always deal with him and his service is good

QUOTE(spaceman @ Mar 24 2021, 05:11 PM) Yeah probably first time thinking to extend my warranty too because first time spending so much on a phone  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. KTS should be trusted since they run the Central iCity branch

QUOTE(Max2006 @ Mar 29 2021, 03:57 PM) Nowadays no need to ask which variant got update. As long as one of the variant got update, the whole series will get the update at the same time. It's been like that since S20 series. I still remember the past where people keep condemning Samsung for their slow update. Now is different. Samsung is becoming no. 1 when it comes to update. So you ask, how about xiaomi and oneplus? Both of these 2 are getting worse. My mi10 will only get update once per 3 or 4 months. My oneplus 7 pro is still on Android 10. I can see some people still praise on those china brands on their respective threads, and some of them even believe that Samsung is still slow these days. Haha. Jokes on them. This is also the biggest reason why I always come back to Samsung, even though I knew they have some weak points. But at least they are keep improving. Heck. They even bring the new features of new phone down to the older generations (for example, S20 series will get S21 series new camera features very soon). Let me ask you, how many brand will do that on their old phones?Meanwhile, xiaomi and oneplus are stepping backward. They will ditch your device once new phone comes out. Ok. Enough for the ranting. Back to my S21+ and start downloading the update. I totally agree with you bro. Samsung is way better in providing updates efficiently these days, a far cry from OnePLus and Xiaomi. I also have OP8 Pro which only gets an update every 2 months for a flagship phone while my Xiaomi MI10 is every 3 - 4 months like you mentioned. While Samsung lagged behind in software updates a few years ago, that's not the case now

QUOTE(Created On 21/1/2021 @ Mar 30 2021, 12:04 PM) Hate it when they offer free gifts, why not just give us discount instead. S7 Edge was the last they offered a discount on a new model. 1st round pre-order had 20% off. Their server crashed due to heavy demand. Then they had 2nd round pre-order with 15% off. Got mine on the 2nd one

QUOTE(ryan@chua @ Apr 9 2021, 10:44 AM) Just bought a 12pro max for my gf. Comparing apple, huawei, Samsung, feel like my s21 ultra charging speed very slow, battery drain off also faster than my huawei....🤧 S21 Ultra charging speed should be faster than 12 Pro Max, but the time taken could be slower since S21 Ultra has a bigger battery than 12 Pro Max

QUOTE(lotiman2003 @ Apr 27 2021, 10:10 AM) If possible go to Samsung Retail Store to buy it. Got extra freebies and PWP offers. I already booked 1 and will get it within few days. Agree with this. I realize that going to their retail store usually gets you some extra freebies. Some may be useful for you, some may not but it's something that you wouldn't get from their official website

QUOTE(LostAndFound @ Jun 22 2021, 10:28 AM) My Note 20 Ultra got the update a week plus ago, why would 2021 phone be slower than 2020 phone? I think it's later than N20U this time cause there were many fixes this time around. Cause at Europe, the S21 series had 3 update patches for June alone

QUOTE(FlamingFox @ Jul 25 2021, 03:31 PM) You can register your interest now and get up to RM300 off for the next device at the unpacked. Just head to Samsung website. It may be too early to change phone but if it's a good trade in value for S21 series while getting many free gifts, who knows?  Samsung's trade in value for their own devices is shit, mainly cause they use 3rd party for it. In comparison, trading in your Samsung device for a newer model in countries like US requires you to only fork out a few hundred more

QUOTE(FlamingFox @ Jul 26 2021, 12:01 PM) Wow you're right, S21 Ultra (12/256) only has a value of RM2,635 per the instacash app which Samsung uses. Their prices are so damn low, and Samsung usually add at most RM500 on top of their value to 'sweeten' the deal, but still falling way short of market value
