Anyone notice the edges of the screen of the ultra are a little sharp, my s8 were super smooth, is anyone else the same

Panic over I didn't realise there was a Preinstalled screen protector on the ultra that would explain the rough edges

Planning to purchase a new Android phone this year. Do you guys think the S21 will be the best pick of the bunch this year or is there any other new releases planned for later in the year?

The new Note will be out much later in the year, around August / September time.

Just FYI you will still need to buy a screen protector. The one that's on it isn't meant to be left on. It's just a cover for shipping.

It looks like a very solid screen protector, don't usually every use screen protectors i just use a good case. Have my s8 plus since launch no screen protector and not a scratch on it

The phone comes with a pre-applied screen protector and a protective film for packaging. You can remove both if you wish but the second is for protection.

Most of tempered glass protectors don't work well with the ultrasonic fingerprint reader.

very impressed so far, few very small issues with the smart switch app

Screen is amazing and the 16GB ram is too

Impressed with the Buds Pro, have to try and get used to them and try not walk under a car when im walking

:D

The Note is larger in size is it? Presume other than the Note then, no new releases are rumoured?

Anyone's accessories Case/Charger etc get shipped yet, put these orders in after ordering the phone itself

DessieJames · 27-01-2021 12:48PM

thanks to bexiturley for the discunt code, with the trade in i paid €809 for the phantom silver 256GB Galaxy S21 ultra so it's less than what i was expecting,looking forward to receiving it.

I was told yesterday on a call to customer services my charger would not arrive with phone as it was out of stock Although it was in stock when I ordered so not too sure how they are allocating stock to orders.
I was also told mine was shipping yesterday but I received no tracking info so not hopeful it is even sent yet.
I ordered mine on the 15th and still see it is processing... if this is delayed and I do not receive the phone by launch day it will be canceled and I will wait until it is reduced in a few months to save some money.

New update it is in the warehouse shipping for delivery tomorrow with all items so phone, charger, case, buds and tag

Inquitus · 27-01-2021 01:09PM

15:30 - 17:30 slot, working US hours this week, so that sucks, would have been nice if it came this morning and I could have spent that time exploring the device

I'm going to give them a call to see can I speed things along.

PTH2009 · 27-01-2021 02:22PM

The case I got is a lot chunkier than I expected

More than likely I'm so used to my slimer s10

phill106 · 27-01-2021 02:28PM

This one

Same case, but my current case is one of the heavy duty spiegen cases, so hopefully not much more bulkier then that

DessieJames · 27-01-2021 04:14PM

i only ordered today, have many or anyone received the phone yet?

Lord Spence · 27-01-2021 04:20PM

Well my case was just posted, finally can start using the phone tomorrow

Inquitus · 27-01-2021 04:50PM

The Earbuds Pro are better sounding than the old ones got with my S10, very impressed with the phone so far!
