**** The Official Samsung Galaxy S21 Family Thread ****

I've just upgraded my contract and did get a S21 5G, 128gb as my current S7 is breaking down and would probably not last the month. I was choosing between a S20 and a S21 but there wasnt much of an actual price difference in the end with my contract. What is your general opinions about the S21?
 
looks like the amazon offer extra £150 expires 14th April and there is no stock to buy the 256gb S21 ultra from Amazon directly for 1-2 months :( only 128gb and 512gb are avaliable directly
 
For the people that have had the S21u for a few week, how do you find it and how does it compare to your old phone ?
how much of a improvement do you see ?

I came from a Note 10+ 5G; and I've been very impressed; its overall a lot snappier and quicker; camera is excellent and the battery life is brilliant; can last a couple of days without charging which is something I've not been able to do for years with anything else!

I got my Buds Live and tracker yesterday after getting an email in the morning.

I like the buds but they are fiddly getting them in my ears. Although I cant complain as they were free :)

I've just sold my Buds; kept feeling like they would fall out no matter which tips I used; right ear was ok but left ear not; I must just be odd! Going to put the £110 toward some Sennheiser Earbuds instead!

Im finding the Buds Pro keeps on falling out my ears. There are not gym friendly unlike my original Galaxy Buds :(

Yeah I've struggled to keep them in my ear just walking; let along anything more vigorous!

Got my S21 ultra from carphonewarehouse for 1040 incl charger from Amazon yesterday, 256gb version. It's excellent.

I switched to the biggest buds to try and get a snug fit. They're ok but wouldn't last a minute running.

I'm a bit meh about the headphones. Sound is decent and the way noise cancelling goes on and off is cool but I wouldn't pay a quarter of the retail price!

I find putting them in a bit fiddly due to the shape.
 
my amazon silver s21u 256 turned up two days early :D need to send back my black ao.com one that turned up same day now.

Has anyone filled in the amazon trade-in with uplifted £150 yet? did sticking IMEI number in the code work? Mine is saying "There is no promotion on above voucher code/ new device IMEI"

I'd really love to get my hands on the S21 - but alas I now enter the 13th working day since my order was placed at Samsung (for a pretty basic, run of the mill 256GB S21 in Grey) without any sign of it.
My constant contacts with their shop tell me "No stock, stock expected soon".
Think it's time to cancel and move on. Just I lose the half price Watch 3 I also got as part of the deal at the time.
 
day 2 of S21 ultra...every time i pick up my s10+ I wonder if I've made the right choice. the extra height i can absolutely live with, but the extra thickness and weight just make me think I've regressed here.....

S21 Ultra 165.1 x 75.6 x 8.9 mm | 229 g
S21 Plus 161.5 x 75.6 x 7.8 mm | 202 g
S10 Plus 157.6 x 74.1 x 7.8 mm | 175 g

If it wasn't for the fact that I got such an amazing deal on the ultra that I can't replicate on a plus, i'd be very tempted to swap it for an s21+ right now...
 
I have a S9+ and was considering the S21+ , but looking at this not much difference in size

On paper and in videos it didn't seem to be much different to the S10+, but the weight and thickness is really rather noticeable IMO. However, the S10+ is thinner and lighter than the S9+ so maybe you won't notice it as much?
