S21 vs S21+
250sgd
+800 mAh battery
+glass back cover
+bigger screen
+uwb

Worth?

For those extra, for me really not worth, either go for S21 or the S21 ultra. But with the pandemic, really no point to change phone since i cant travel or go anyway. What is the point of a new phone when you just stay home most of the time, lol

S21+ seems better deal than S21 Ultra ... I used to own S20 Ultra is quite bulky and 100x zoom is quite gimmicky hardly ever use.

What doesn't make sense is that macro shot is only available on S21 Ultra even though all 3 uses the same 12MP Ultra Wide lens. S21 Ultra is AF while the other two is FF.

Nice what voucher did you use?
-$100 min spent 1.4k
Then there's a $10 shop voucher from Samsung Official store

Then I use UOB ONE CARD hav 10% cash back from shopee, overall not bad.

However I do believe even with all these factored in, the street price will be lower in a couple of weeks. But I got itchy hands cannot wait then must pay a price 😂😂😂

It's because S21 Ultra has laser focus which helps to detect the distance

i now using s20u..
think will downgrade to s21+ this time.
s20u is 6.9", 21u is 6.8"... might as well down another 0.1" to save money

Totally agree if you are changing to s21 series ... s21 ultra is just over the top gimmick especially some camera features .. extra 12gb ram don't really do much.

25w adapter can get cheaply on shopee ... no issue i have samsung 45w charger as well.

I have xiaomi 10 ultra 12gb i think i am under utilizing the hardware as well...

Wait, 5G need to pay additional?????

YES! I almost recontract with Singtel but saw that 5G data is chargeable at $15 per month on top of the expensive mobile plan.. i decided to just get from Samsung website in the end.

got the silver s21 ultra 512gb with the free buds pro~ excited for my 1st samsung phone!:s12:
