    hi folks my ipone 11 pro max is due a change up, thinking of the s21 ultra, i see them on adverts for circa 1k, anything to consider here, are there variants better than others (chipset?)

    The exynos snapdragon divide has narrowed considerably, so much so that its not an issue i believe this generation.
    Size wise i would go fo the 256 over the 128 storage, as it was only an extra 50 i believe? Most would have gone for that due in part to the removal of he microsd slot.
    If you go for the 512 it does have more ram, but i would think that would prove harder to find.

    [General question to all]

    After using this phone for a few weeks since its release, would you recommend it? What are its pros and cons in your view?

    I like the phone . Best pro from me is the Battery . It's lasts longer and charges much faster with a superfast charger. No major con but it's not hugely different from the 10 plus to me except the camera is obviously better.

    Can anyone recommend a screen protector or does the pre installed on suffice. Thanks in advance

    My pre-installed one already had a tiny tear in it so took it off, it is a very thin flimsy protector, I personally didn't replace with another screen protector but I do use a heavy duty case

    I bought this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08PYRXVBW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and installed it the other day, quite happy with it so far,
    The installation is easy, comes with a little mounting tool to help.
    I use it with this clear case https://www.zagg.com/en_eu/crystal-palace-galaxy-s21-ultra-5g

    ugly as sin alright, but i can think of one use, if it was a bit smaller.
    In car charging? Especially for shared vehicles with company phones?
    Saying that, easier to just wipe your phone regularly, but could be handy.
    Kinda looks like a fleshlight...just saying...

    The super high speed charging does the battery in, imho you are better off with an old skool normal fast charger, it still charges fast and fecks your battery much less.

    For anyone considering any of the S21 series the current offer is a €170 prepaid Mastercard. Same ts&cs as the other promotions the rest of us availed of and majority of retailers in Éire are eligible be it with PAYG/Billpay or outright.

    Pretty sweet deal

    Can anyone tell me does the S21 Ultra come with a pre-installed screen protector? I'm finding conflicting info online. My Note 10+ came with one and it's been great. I'm not into the whole spending 50+ euro on premium glass protectors

    It does if you buy it direct from Samsung but if you get it through other shops it is a bit more hit and miss. Thats what i have seen anecdotally from my own phone purchases through the years

    Mine did but it is very basic. I replaced it with a hybrid screen protector from Mous

    I bought a Spigen liquid air, I had one from day one with my S9 and it did a great job, despite a few falls onto tiles etc. the phone still is like new (or as much as a phone can after three years!)

    Cool ,id say Three should have that update by the end of the week

    Battery life on my S21 Ultra is mediocre at best, get about 10 hours usage before its gets to 10-15%

    Edit- Got the update just there, you have to go into your settings and search for it, it should appear
