Hi everyone, I've few questions before I made final decision.

1) S21+ vs S21 Ultra (price different RM700) is it necessary to take the S21 Ultra?

2) S21+ (sd888) online selling 12gb ram + 256gb storage. But I online research and never found any official websites / resources showing S21+ of 12gb ram, I thought this model only has 8gb ram?

3) Any recommendations to buy cheap charger that can get 25w of charging speed for S21 series phones?

Still need

Samsung pay is just a more secure proxy for you to do a pay wave

As the additional security other than your card pin is your fingerprint or samsung pay pin to authorize the transaction

Which means Samsung pay can support any card machine that can support "wave"?

1. for me its worth it for the upgrade to S21U (either 128gb or 256gb, your choice nod.gif ), Samsung is no longer how it was perceived back then
- thought 128 you may best subscribe to google cloud for additional 100-200gb storage.

2. customization = now they're the top (at least they dont do forced options like most phone manufacturers, every single little detail that you can think of can be turned off/on.. at least based on my usage and what i want with my phone)

3. updates = they're at the top too

4. camera = on par with Apple iphones, but with a Samsung, im always confident with my point and shoot that occurs from time to time.

5. customer services = top notch service at least as long as you are nice to them as well nod.gif

6. overall, i also dont feel the overheating issues, probably need to let the phone calibrate for a week after fully setting it up before checking if its really overheating or not.

7. also, best to get local set if you want to use Samsung Pay, as other regions, your card or the promo might not be compatible (i dont remember)
*
Thanks for the detailed explanation! I was Samsung user, then jump to iPhone then jump to one plus then now considering to jump back...

I want to get overseas set because of sd888 but I knew this processor is easy to get heat like sd 810..

I'm on tight budget, any recommendations for:
1) charger
2) case, tempered glass
3) earphone

Thanks in advance.

1) charger - use your old phone charger
2) case, tempered glass - don't try to save money on this, get a quality case such as Spigen and Ringke. S21 series has pre-applied screen protector, it's good enough.
3) earphone - if you care about sound quality, Galaxy Buds+ is pretty awesome.

1) tend to get the 25w "fast" charging, haha 25w fast..
2) S21 Ultra unbox got screen protector?
3) out of budget

I feel like the phone so expensive.  Not worth to take the risk.  For 3rd party charger,  I only trust Aukey.

Aukey can fast charge 25w? How much ya? Kepala type A to type A?

Can check out following article.  If you got any old phone charger,  can use following.

Tqboss I just read this, feel really not worth to spend RM79 for a "25w fast charging" adapter which supposed to be free like S20 series...

I'm using U Green charger. So far so good on my S21. I forgot which version, you can chat with them on Shopee/Lazada and they'll recommend the best one.

Around RM50 only, what's not to love?

Nice, can support up to 25w super fast charging?

Seems to be 20W only but fast enough for me and dirt cheap.
