#GalaxyS21 #GalaxyS21Ultra #SamsungGalaxy
Disturbing to watch Samsung no longer including a charger or microSD. Nothing worse that companies trying to short change consumers for profit. Like grocery stores removing full service checkout and making the customer do the self-checkout; no thank you. Ditching the microSD forces consumers to buy the ultra if they want maximum storage; again no thanks. Also, how much internal room was saved ditching the microSD to be used for other new features? I'll keep my S8+ till it stops working and enjoy using my microSD. I still get great photos, and if I need telephoto, will use my Nikon D850 😛
S21/S21+
âÂÅ’No Headphone jack
âÂÅ’No Headphones
âÂÅ’No micro SD card slot
âÂÅ’No Quad HD+ 1440p display
âÂÅ’No Charger
_ I'll stick with my S10+ thank you _
Why do people care about the 1080p screens? You barely notice the difference, very few people actually change the display setting, and for those who do tinker with setting opted for 1080p 120Hz anyways, so I really don't understand the hate, the phones cost $200 less, and you end up saving battery with that 1080p display. I think Samsung went for an Apple approach, that is, compromise over innovation, which during this pandemic, we've seen work in Apple's favor since not everyone wants to or can afford a $1,000 phone, Samsung realized this, and I personally think their gonna sell pretty well this year because of that decision.
I hope we get to the point to where we don’t gotta explain ourselves if we go somewhere.…good review tho..
So wait this is android authority right yet he’s wearing an Apple Watch ðŸ¤â€
I will not be having the s21 because Samsung has followed iphone in to changing lots of money and taking away the little thing that make me but a Samsung and not a iphone. If I wanted to be to stupid with my money I would have just brought the iPhone
It's worth the price if you trade in. Somewhere between $200-$600
I think this year people are going to skip s21 because no micro sd card and no money due to stupid pandemic.
there is something really uncomfortable to watch this video with all your facial expressions..
Samsung won me over with the Ultra, I was very close to switching to the 12 pro max.
Definitely overpriced. Neither the S21 nor the S21plus should have been released as they are now especially the S21 plus.
So it could have only main big sensor and wide angle , instead of that fake telephoto lens
Wait, what's the deal with the 64mp camera? Is there no actual zoom, just crop? Not what I've heard elsewhere..
Bad for. I'm staying with my s20 ultra
I am loving what they did with the Ultra! Gonna order one ASAP!
To be fair there really is not a lot they are going to be able to do these days short of design changes. I love the way that these look even if I don't have any intention of changing phones again. I think they made a winner this year.
Done with samsung. They made fun of apple ðŸÂŽ when stopped shipping the power brick and turn around and do the same thing. Along with the headphone jack. Just to name a few. Now no micro SD card slot. I'm done.
I actually quite like the design, might be tempted to upgrade from my Pixel 3 to the S21.
Looks like samsung has made a decision to sell less S phones this year!
Lol who wants a 70k FHD plastic phone 😂
People will buy older S20
The focus is definitely on the ultra. But who shall buy a plus with a full HD screen?
It worked cause I just went from the s20 to s21 ultra. Hope I don't regret it. Getting the s21 or s21 seemed more like a downgrade
Song at the beginning?
This dude is cute.
what can I say, I didnt know Android authority has a Honest reviewer
Losing functionality.
No sd card is a bummer.
I'm upgrading from note 20 ultra. I prefer slightly smaller screen and round, not too mention high refresh rate with qhd. Don't care about expandable storage. The phone looks sleek. Compared to s20, the price came down because of power brick and expandable storage missing probably.
Can't believe samsung took away the charger and no more SD card capabilities…. i love my note 20 ultra, it may have a huge camera bump and the price is ridiculous but still love it….
After the s10+ all samsung phones suck.
Why do these reviews always focus on things that do not matter whatsoever? First of all glass on the back of a phone is an incredibly stupid decision. Yes, I am currently driving a glass back phone. Glass is heavy and delicate. Want to impress me? Make the back of the phone from real carbon fiber. Next silly point is mourning the loss of expandable memory. If you fill up your half a terabyte phone then it is time for a data backup plan. Actually if you have important data on your phone you better be backing up well before that.
Yea I’m switching from my s8 to a iPhone 12 pro
Sprint is offering a free swap of my S9 to s21 if i stay with them for 2yrs. Seems like an insane deal but I don't know if i can go back to 1080p. Also is it me or PPI (pixel density) seems to be reducing with newer phones. The ppi on S9 is 570, but the ppi on S21 is only 424. And no headphone jack too? ugh.
Damn they are on 21 lol Im still using a fuckin s7 or s8 edge (can't remember which one had the edge and I'm to lazy to take my case off to look)
Business Opportunity in Ruvol
I have invented a Board Game [still unpublished and not yet out in the market] that I believe is guaranteed to be as challenging and exciting as CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.â€Â
It is my hope that one day Ruvol may surpass chess as the “Number One Board Game in the World.â€Â
The weakness of chess is it always starts in fixed positions that the opening moves become “memorizable.†In fact, not a few have so mastered the moves that they can play against their opponents “blindfolded.†It is for this very reason that the great Bobby Fischer introduced his so-called “Fischer Random Chess,†where the starting position of the pieces is “randomized†to make the memorization of openings impracticable. Fortunately, it is also for this reason that I invented Ruvol where “every game†has been calculated to be a challenging one to play.
HOW IS RUVOL PLAYED and HOW YOU CAN MONETIZE IT?
I detailed everything in my YouTube video. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcqth0m3-R0
BIG MONEY POTENTIAL IN RUVOL!
It is worthwhile to note that the people who play chess will be the same people who will play Ruvol. In my Google search, I learned there are around 800 million chess players in the world. Even just a small percentage of these 800 million is good enough to earn big money from Ruvol either as an ONLINE GAME BUSINESS or as a PHYSICAL PRODUCT DISTRIBUTOR.
