I think I'm going to leave the preinstalled screen protector on for a little while before removing it and then just doing without.
I haven't had a screen protector on my last 2 phones and although by the end of their life I could see some tiny marks on the screen if I look for them, they were only visible when the screen is off.
It annoys me more when the olephobic coating wears off and the screen just always looks full of fingerprints and greasy.

I took mine off, it was already attracting dirt and you could feel the edges of it scratching slightly when doing gesture nav. It is pretty thin so I can't really see much benefit. I generally never bother with screen protectors on phones anyway.
Is this a S21 Ultra?

Yes. I expected it to be much bigger than it actually was. It made up the lack of width with depth and weight. Granted I didn't bother to look at the size before ordering.

Same here - got excited when DPD app said I had a parcel coming from Samsung......turns out to just be the Buds Pro and Smart Tag, no sign of the phone and S-Pen case yetHa no worries honestly!
The tracker said free gifts ship by 28th Jan, but they didn't so figured they were waiting for phone to be ready too - so when I saw DPD email and text, got excited thinking it must be the whole lot coming but nope lol
Samsung email just came through after saying its just the gifts
Ah well... the wait continues
Ah well.........

My ultra should be arriving at some point today to replace my Oneplus 7 Pro.
I've seen some people say Samsung have finally removed the massive amount of softening they seem to add in the post processing to pictures which I'm hoping is true because it was ridiculous in some cases when I was looking at pictures friends had taken.

Interesting! Does seem quite close but would have been nice to see some 100% crop photos as thats where I found samsung get caught short detail wise in the past.
I find that the Pixel can retain detail and textures that S21U just loses or smears. S21U wins on ultimate dynamic range in the Night shots, Pixel wins on clarity, colours, textures, contrast etc.
S21U has the focal length variety on lock that's for sure.

One thing I dislike about the samsung photos is the lack of detail and the fringing around edges when you enlarge them
Hi all, I can get the following package from EE as part of Friends and Family discount.
512GB S21 Ultra - 100 GB Data and Unlimited Mins/Txts £60.90 per month (24 months) + £30 upfront = £1491.60
This seems like pretty good value as they have raised the discount from 20% to 30%. I haven't had a contract phone for years, but this seems like a pretty good deal as my current 100GB contract is £15 per month, but will increase shortly. What do people think? Better deals elsewhere?

Think you'd struggle to best that, snap at that tbh.

It's got to the point where most cameras now are good enough for most people. The pixel had a couple of problems for me that made me want to move away, the first being the versatility of the camera, its like google don't want to give its users options. It's unforgivable not having a telephoto lens these days, if you have any ambition of being the best, and secondly, apart from the camera, the phones themselves are a bit rubbish really. It took 3 attempts to get a 2XL that worked properly and then the Pixel 5 has some annoying flaws too. I certainly don't regret swapping.

That's really good. I get 20% off through myperks. What's the 30% through?
Associate
Nothing yet.
It's through the friends and family scheme. I costed it up at 20% discount and their plans are just too expensive. The above at 30% also includes the gaming unleashed bundle from EE which is a 12 month game pass and a Razer Kishi controller plus the Samsung Buds live, which I could probably cash in to some degree. I'm very tempted, with all the reviews so far being positive and the Note 21 seems to be an FE or something so probably the best handset from them this year.
