Hi there, Im planning to get S21U along with T-Max TG(cheaper option compared to Whitestone) and Ringke Fusion X Case(one of the cheapest and good quality casing Ive used so far).
But after reading feedbacks from fellow users, noticed that Ringke doesn't cover the camera properly and that makes me wanna get a TG for the camera.
Planning to keep the phone for at least 2 to 3 years before changing to a newer model in the future.

Some questions,

1. Does those camera TG affect the photo quality? Couldn't find any camera reviews with the TG installed. I found Whitestone TG for camera, not sure if it's better compared to other cheaper ones.

2. Anyone using T-Max + Ringke Cases? Does the TG peel off?
So far I've been using T-Max(almost a year) and Whitestone(lasted me for 2 years) with Ringke Case on my S9+, everything works well. Not sure if it's the same for S21U.

3. Does TG really affect the thumb scan badly? I was checking thru youtube vids and seems like there are few of them working quite well but couldn't find it locally on Shopee.
My friend was using T-Max TG on her S10 and that's the only TG that can do thumb scan after trying few TG from Ninjaz & Gadget Tech.

4. Any other alternative/recommended TG/SP for the phone?

Wanna get the accessories ready before getting the phone..

Thanks and Cheers!

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

Is it weird if I bought the casing and tempered glass before buying the phone? (I have my TMax and Charger on the way too)
Going to get the phone later online..
But not sure if the spigen camera protector can fit the Ringke case..

Haha... I think I did that to my S9+ too.. I bought the accessories first then only I get my phone..

I wonder how long will it takes for Samsung to deliver the phone. Just placed my order... money flew...

Cool. What's your verdict on Spigen camera protector? How's the photo quality?

Nice... can’t wait for my phone to arrive... 😊😊

I would rather spend a little bit more than spending on cheaper once that may cause photo quality later. 😅
By the time u change endless TG, u can actually get 1 expensive one that last u years maybe? Haha

Yeah, I always invest on good casings and TG. Wouldn't mind to spend more that can last me years instead of cheaper once that could cost me more to repair the phone. 😅
Been using Lifeproof casing on all my iPhones and my phone is still good as new till today even I'm not using it anymore. Haha

everything arrived just in time...
only waiting for my 25w Charger now.. haha

Did u insert those glasses into the holes 1 by 1?

I see... so far I know Dome is compatible with Ringke. Im also worried my Spigen cant fit with my Ringke.


Btw, anyone have a photo of Authentic 25w Charger? I got one from Shopee and the seller claimed it's ori but I find it suspicious.
My 15w charger from my S9+ also can charge higher mAh than this 25w.


this is how it looks like. Also I think the biggest give away is the box. It's written Made in China on the box but the charger is Made in Vietnam

Okay, thanks guys! I can now make a dispute for refund..

Ya weh... tot of saving abit... manatau...
gotta stick to my 15w for now..

Gotta try on my spigen and see how it goes first... otherwise maybe will buy Dome instead
or just put a aluminium thingy to protect it..

i see... not selling 129..
maybe i shall wait for another sale..

I have a question for Gmail app users here. How do you make your Gmail notify you when there's incoming mail?
I have my Samsung Email attached to my Hotmail, there's noti when mails in but my Gmail doesn't.
I checked the settings and noti was enabled. Anything Im missing here? Cross checked with my S9+ both settings same.. hmm


*solved by disable and enable the Gmail app

Just done applying my TMax, didn't go well. Some bubbles stuck underneath. 😑
Did what YouTube taught when curing the glue, press my thumb on the FP sensor while curing the side and I notice there's a little "dent" in that part. 😅😅
FP scanning, it's like 3/10 kena. But it works better when I register the same thumb 2x.

Im planning to get Ugreen. So far their type C cables I bought for my S9+ works well with Fast Charging.
But Im not too sure about S21 Ultra, does 3A cable work with Super Fast Charge or needed a 5A cable.

Im using one too for my S9+, a 2m long cable for my 15w adapter.
Planning to get a longer cable for my 25w adapter. The stock cable too short, I need to crawl over to get my phone

sigh... I just bought an Ori Samsung 25w plug head yesterday.
Does the adapter heat up or the phone heats up during the charge?
My S21U, my old 15w adapter and ugreen cable heats up while I was charging it. Not sure if the phone is draining too much power from the adapter that causes the heat.
Then when I charge my phone with the newly bought 25w adapter, my phone is warm but the adapter is ok, not hot.

Wondering if 3rd party adapter will heat up or not. How about your cable? Are you using Ugreen cable too? I wanted to get this, https://shopee.com.my/UGREEN-Fast-Charging-...3440.5004537420 but not sure if it supports Super Fast Charge and will heat up or not.

Haven't charge my phone since yesterday morning...😄
Light use, just waze abit, FB abit, WA abit and IG abit..
Oh, I have my Galaxy Watch connected for the past days as well...
