[marcg868]

No I don't miss anything at all, Samsung really has thought of evrything these days I absolutely love having all the options, plus the 120hz for me is amazing and the cameras are amazing too

What about battery life?

14 days from purchase the website will accept your new phones IMEI as a voucher code and add £150.

Worked perfectly for me yesterday.

The S21 Ultra official leather cases are reduced on Amazon today to £35 from the usual £49. Just ordered the black version.

Does it matter where you purchase the device from?

It has to be from Amazon for this deal.

Great , have ordered just in time as just saw the price from Amazon directly go back up from 829 to 899 for the S21+

Yup I think it was probably an accidental misprice as it had 15% off twice. The extra £150 cashback makes it pretty unbeatable.

Works out for me at £540 for the S21+ with-trade-in for the S9+, not sure if I could have got more discounts

I think that’s the max discount you could get.

Well played.

Back to 2013 price levels for flagships!

What is the method for transfer from S9+ to S21+ using the Samsung Smart switch or just the standard google restore

 

[nam]

I had to look back in my history and found in 2018 i paid £599 for my S9 plus (128gb Hybrid) with a £200 trade-in for a Galaxy S7 from samsung , So i have a better deal now than 2018

Well played.

Doesn't help that they'll massively devalue them and the lives by giving them away with the phones, I imagine many people like me just stuck them straight on eBay/MM/other selling sites are available.

That and tbh TWS are so cheap now on Amazon for a good sounding pair that these branded ones make little sense.

Yeah, I'm not expecting a quick turn around. Luckily I've got other phones I can use.

Also they said they couldn't repair it if a pin was active, which It is and obviously with a power issue I can't remove it now either. They asked for it and told them where to go - hardware issue, establish a charge/boot up to lock screen and send back.

Although thinking about it I guess it could be software related .

Well, my Ultra was goosed so they sent me a replacement. refurbished by the looks of it as I was just over the 30 day period. Funnily enough I've not missed the Ultra, quite happy to use my Fold2, and while the camera on the fold isn't perfect as an overall device the fold will be hard to beat. So I'm left comtemplating if I should just sell the Ultra on, not to detract anything away from the Ultra as I stil find it's cracking device to use.

Is iTunes purchased music still playable on android devices? If I remember right it wouldn’t play because of some drm protection? Has this been removed now or no? Thought I’d ask the people who moved from iPhone to Samsung devices.
