Thanks Biffa
Looks like these flew out of stock, gutted I missed them at that price.

I got my buds pro with my pre-order and these are my first wireless earphones. I have to say im quite impressed with them especially the noise cancellation

Another 1140.64MB update just landed, says camera and overall device performance improvements. On Vodafone with S21 Ultra.

Anyone ordered a custom colour recently and received it faster than stated?

Thanks, just checked mine and AUC8 is downloading
Can anyone recommend a screen protector that will work with the fingerprint scanner?
I keep dropping my phone and I'm starting to get some minor scratches, I don't want to damage the screen, I don't know how thick the Samsung one is
I had a glass one (plastic really) before but did not work

Made in conjunction with whitestone
Some say they are good some say bad, some say installation is awkward ect.
It is basically a cheaper whitestone alternative.

This looks to be the most popular for the money.
Edit: Erm the reviews for the last one are erm hillarious. has to be a bug tbh.
Do they work, has anyone on here used them ?
Would I be better off getting a flim protector
Anyone upgraded to an S21 Ultra from an S10?
Contract is due for upgrade and vodafone are offering £42/month for S21 Ultra and 100GB data with a trade in offer and loyalty discount.
Initially was just gonna go SIM only as nothing really felt like much of an upgrade of my over my S10, especially not the regular S21 or S21+, but now I can get the Ultra for a more reasonable price I'm starting to consider it. Not sure about having a huge phone but matt black looks amazing!
Wish I had some more options for upgrades atm, but seems like this is the only upgrade that's considerable over a 2 year old phone! Seems like there's been very little forward movement in hardware other than towards high refresh rate screens. Cameras have gone a bit mad, but the actual end results seem hardly much better, and software seems the limiting factor with photo quality right now.
Anyway, ramble over, any thoughts?

I agree, it would not really be a worthy upgrade unless you wanted a change, I had a S8 and I could just about see the differences, if my phone was not damaged I would have held out for another year considering the monthly cost to upgraade.
Well I went ahead and ordered an S21 Ultra. £42 a month means total cost over 2 years of just over a £1000. Not bad. Was considering buying the phone outright as I can get it for just under 800 with trade in, but even with a cheap SIM only deal, total cost won't get any lower than that with enough data.
Any tips for first things to do when I get it? Things to set up, settings to change etc?

Do not use the Samsung smart switch app, it's more hassle than it's worth.
The first thing I do is turn on developer options. then check if there is a Software update. then install accounts, ie google ect ect mail ect then install nova prime lol
S21 Ultra is a great phone but finding to large for everyday use, causing a pain in my hand.
Anyone used Samsung Uk for a return, I rang today to setup a return and been sent an email with a Dpd collection time but no return labels?
I really found the lady difficult to understand on the phone.

I have 2 in mind at the moment, the smaller S21 or maybe a pixel 5
