Currently using s21 US set with snagdragon. Battery life seems not so good compared to my Huawei P40 Pro. But I like the size and everything Google works well (was having problems with P40 Pro).
Question I have is should I get a s21 plus instead since the battery is bigger. My s21 only left 30% by end of the day so I charge it like twice/thrice a day because I play games with the phone at night.

i would advise ya why not but if u dont mind to wait juat wait for s22 aeries

if not s21+ will be more budget

i hoot s21+ in end i hoot s21u and i love it extra battery life over s21+

Bigger phone = bigger battery, but also means larger screen size so the improvement might not be that much.

Actually why I chose s21 is because of the flat screen. Easier to put screen protector. Had a lot of issues with curved screen on my P40 Pro. Stupid thing easier to crack or pop out of the screen.

Maybe wait for s22. Hope it will be flat screen as well.

Anybody facing this issue? The first time i went to Service Centre they tell me software issue. I told them even after a factory reset problem still persist. And they still tell me software issue. Collected within 2 hours.

Now same issue again. Gosh. This camera problems that they have since S10 era till now not solved? The last time i have s10e/ultra, the camera was totally faulty till it shows "camera error".

Any person see can tell there is something wrong with the camera and most likely hardware issue.

Just do a hard reset and try the camera and if same problem occurs again, you have a case to fight.

Yeah. Just send in today after booking an appt this morning. After which they are "satisfied" to change the cameras for me.

Not only i showed them the screen recording. I even show them the camera failure message.

Sometimes i wished that they were a little more efficient rather than wasting their customers time.

I mean why would we be going down to the service center for a "software error" despite telling them that i had done a factory reset.

Any way they changed the main camera with the ultrawide camera. As it is a 1 whole piece camera module after googling the part number. They also replaced the entire back panel and all the adhesive tape and waterproofing glue to fix it back.

I hope this is the last time i wanna go down to the service center again and go through the whole restoring of the phone twice.

My esr screen protector is still as good as the first day I pasted it to my S21u, got 2 extra pieces lying around.

My wife bought a new screen protector for her Huawei P30 Pro and asked me to help her paste it after she saw my pasting skill.

Guys ask you all, going to get a s21 ultra soon. Where is the best place to go?

Courts and challenger are selling at $1598.

Those small handphone stall aka the ah beng shop is it safe to get from them? Like will switch out the new phone and replace it with used phone then seal it and resell?

Maybe can check Carousell for brand new sealed sets from recontact if any. Usually that's what I do. Anyway phone shops also advertise there so you can compare price. I'd still prefer to buy from someone who just done recontact with receipt cos when I went to Samsung service centre, they asked for proof of purchase.
