See my chat transcript above with Samsung. Not sure if you want to trust it or not haha.
But they suggested S21+ does have microSD slot

Yeah, very much so. What do you do if you drop the phone down a lake?

Tech youtubers who have used the phones confirmed no MicroSD.
I've preordered the S21 Ultra 512GB model with 16GB ram, probably overkill but it's a massive upgrade for me. Was between this or an iPhone 12 Pro max and the freebies probably won me over (Galaxy Buds Pro) that and the added ram for the largest model.

was looking to upgrade my S10+ but after hearing about the lack of Micro SD i think i'll be changing to the Note 20 Ultra instead

oh, I didn't know. Where can I get a friends referral code from buddy?
None have an sd slot.
When you make a purchase, Samsung email a refer a friend link for the discount code which can only be redeemed 10 times. If you made a purchase you should have the email.
Here's a link to some codes

Shows the sim tray has 2 slots (front and back) for the S21

A number of YouTube videos that happen to show the person inserting the SIM card holder on the S21 Ultra show it as a dual-sided holder, i.e it takes two physical nano-SIM cards. It is possible that differs per region, but I would be surprised if the UK one doesn't support that.
Still seems a bit of a shame that they dropped the MicroSD card support - last year on the S20+ it was a dual "hybrid" slot, i.e either two nano SIM cards or one SIM card plus one MicroSD card.
I can't remember the last time I did that!
But I get your point, I still would have backups, but not "live" ones as would be the case if I had cloud storage constantly getting the files uploaded.Yeah - what is strange though is that Samsung also make and sell UFS memory cards that have higher performance than MicroSD and would still have most of the benefits (e.g being able to pop it out out and read it separately from the phone)

Just preordered from John Lewis, sold my iPhone 12 Pro Max that I’ve had for 4 weeks lol

Where can I get the pen and case from that holds the pen?
There are two official Samsung options if you want a case + S Pen combo:
- Official Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra Clear View Case With S Pen
- Official Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra Silicone Case With S Pen
I think they also sell the S-Pen on its own
Pricing seems a bit steep (£59 for the silicone case with S Pen) - I managed to snag it for £24 as part of the checkout of my S21 Ultra pre-order yesterday but they have now updated the pricing so not sure if they will honour it for those who ordered yesterday or end up cancelling.
Any thoughts on this charger supplying the full 25Watts to the S21?

Whole thing is a bit of a mess really, there is no clarity on their own website as to which country gets which version and which features regarding SIMs and microSDs and hybrid slots... Even their own sales reps don't seem to know.
Bit useless
