Has anyone tried to bargain with harvey norman before?

Like let's say RRP is 5299 but someone on shopee is selling for 4599

Would they honor the 4599? laugh.gif

Only if its physical stores, they will match the price.  Online - no

I see

I think I'll get it around 3rd quarter of the year

Not gonna chase s22 already. Unless there's a leak that indicates it's a major upgrade tongue.gif

See how's the online price then laugh.gif

Would it work for 1 day promo events like 11:11 where the price might be lower than usual? laugh.gif

i think samsung FP scanner sensitivity is worst than other brand phone.

I think because they are not using optical

But I thought s21 have a much bigger sensor?

Also if you applied full glue glass. Have to reset your fingerprints.

25w charger. 

However if you are getting the s21u. With free gift.  The Samsung wireless trio free gift. Does come with 25w charger already.  So no need to buy another charger.
Note. The s21u only can take in max 25w charging.  So buying 45w charger does not make sense. 

Just keep in mind. Samsung 25w charger uses the PD3.0 PPS standard. In order to perform super fast charging

25W is enough because 45W charger is bigger and heavier too. Unless you want to buy it for future proof then no problem

Welcome to the Club S21U.
Good Device I would say.

25W is sufficient ready and also S21U do not cater 45W charger, even u use 45W it will charged at 25W.
*
thanks! yeap just did my research

seems like Samsung has decided not to provide 45W capability. hurts the battery probably hmm.gif

will get a 25W charger

Can buy from shopee or lazada, am also considering buying extra 1 year, can be done within 6 months so no hurry lol

Yea but screen protection must be within 30 days

So figured just get both done at the same time

Haha

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
*
the t-max fully covers a straight line at the top? where the camera is at

not like whitestone dome with a weird U shape at the camera right? hmm.gif

if you can upload a photo, would be nice biggrin.gif

Hmm i just googled the heating up issue

So far i did a search here. Only a few mentioned overheating

Some on reddit/xda also mentioned after a few days its fine

Was it fixed with a recent software update? hmm.gif

Is overheating subjective?

I remember on my note10+ it does get hot if too heavy of usage but cools down pretty quickly too

Actually how does overheat happen?
Keep on saw only on high end Samsung phone
Rarely see on midrange like A series lite series
*
seems like threads on reddit or xda are quite subjective

as there was no detailed info on how the overheat started

all i see was "yes mine is overheating!! mine too! my phone is hot to the grill can cook an egg!! etc etc"

it could be they just fully set the phone up and expect the phones to be cooled? where it would overheat.. which is normal

or it could be they max out everything? turn on high brightness - bluetooth, nfc, wifi, data, all on? hmm.gif

or they never optimize the phone yet.

or the phone is still learning the user's usage?

i dont know laugh.gif

or because samsung overhyped the 2100, so people are expecting it to be near 10/10 perfect? laugh.gif

hope i wont regret with s21u. laugh.gif laugh.gif

Beware with leather case your phone retains more heat.
I have a had a few Nomad leather Cases awesome quality, but I realise that it's not suitable for our weather. Cause your phone becomes so damn hot, and sometimes you don't even realise it cause of the leather. And if you actually feel the heat from the leather, it is because your phone is overheating like crazy inside.

i see

i dont game or heavy usage of videos anyway

most to most also lunch time 20-30 mins of video and thats it

most of the time will be in AC environment nod.gif

You mean the Samsung one? I did, got the brown leather one when bought together with the S21Ultra at ioi city mall,

first casing I've used, kinda nice but don't like the camera protuding metal thing, so I went with a Nillkin black woven casing

[attachmentid=10813073]
*
I also bought a nillkin case as a backup

But the camera hump seems easily scratched.

That's why decided to get the leather case since its the best one from Samsung

Was thinking to get leather case as well, but when I purchase my phone, the case is out of stock. Now able to PWP ><

Haha hopefully it'll be a good case

Gonna get it in the afternoon later

An early indirect sign that there will be no more Note Series?

Or releasing such news to see if the demand for the Note Series is worth manufacturing this year onwards? hmm.gif
