Samsung S21 range launch january 14th.

Donegal Overlanding

Got an email from Three today stating that my S21 Ultra has left their warehouse. The tracking number still doesn't show up in An Post yet though, so probably has not actually left the warehouse, or been scanned yet.

It is a nice surprise to get it early, I thought I would have to wait until 29th for it to ship.

The s21 and s21 plus are a dissapointment for me personally, doing away with the SD card and no charger and a plastic type back is not good, the s21 ultra looks amazing but i cant justify the price so will wait for oneplus 9 in March

I ordered from Samsung direct at weekend (the trade in values went up for my phone and pushed me off the fence). Didn't get an emails after a few days so contacted them.

Replied with my order details and said be here on Friday.

Mine arrived, didn't get a chance to open it yet

Anyone have any luck finding gadget insurance ?

I was the same but managed to grab the ultra for €737 with my s8 plus, looks like they mispriced it on the student store, I wasn't counting my chickens until it arrived today, well happy with that. Hopefully see a big jump from my s8

jaysus id buy it for €737 in a flash if i could but even with a trade in on my S20 plus they are only offering €410 meaning id have to fork out over €900 , is there any way around this?

Well if you know any students you can get 15% discount on unidays website so would save you over another €100

Jasus I am getting annoyed now as mine is still processing

My order was processed and An Post shipping link sent, Wifey's never got the shipping notification.

I think the S21+ has a glass back

PTH2009

Delighted the buds, smart tag and cover arrived at the same time too

Am I best to charge the phone fully first and the set it up ?

I ordered a case as well but was told that only the charger was delayed.

I've ordered the Mous Case, but will take a while, so have also ordered one of the Samsung Silicone case, they're under the VAT threshold on Amazon.co.uk
Am already using the phone, as I'm impatient like that

No you don't need to do that with batteries anymore.

I ordered on the 19th, 256GB normal S21 and it still says processing. No dispatch or tracking yet. I feel like a kid at Christmas waiting for this to come haha

Used the Mous case on the S8 and a Snakehive Wallet case on the S10. I've massively reduced the number of cards I now carry, so will try the card wallet on the back of the limitless 3.0

I guess I'll have to go with the S21 Ultra 5G 256GB model

The 512GB is not list and don't seem to be online in any irish retailer

€162 for the year is not bad. €15 a month is another option

Hmm, Chill are €13/pm for the S21 256GB. They seem to be the only ones with a quote for the S21 series now.

I'm with Mobile Phone Insurance Direct who can't sell new policies due to Brexit but they said they can give me a quote for the S21 when i have the IMEI to hand. Hoping for cheaper than €13pm! Haha
