    AnonD-973296, 14 Jan 2021iphone buyers aren't suckers, haters are (like u) and ... moreYes they are.
    High refresh rate, as the initial guy said in his comment, is not a useless feature. Imo, is more useless 5G capabilities, because the coverage is not that great. It will take at least 2 years until it will be available for all people, not just the ones in the big cities centres.
    Also, have you wonder why Apple is giving just one new important feature per year on its iphones? They want to make people buy their iphones year after year. If they will put all the features on this year iphone, nobody will buy the next 2-3 years models. Because Apple doesn't innovate and they know they don't have something interesting for their iphones in the near future. So, they are just putting features one by one. That's how much Apple cares about its customers. This year was 5G, next year it will be high refresh rate. The year after probably USB type C. And so on.

      S20 already poorly sold(probably due to removed 3.5mm jack), I wonder if this will have the same fate as the S6 when they removed Expandable Storage but not only that, now it has no 3.5mm jack, no charger and akg headphones! For a 1.4k-1.5k FLAGSHIP!

        I was last year on such a store, just to see and play with the Note 20 Ultra. While I was trying the phone some store guy approach me and said to me I could try also the Note 20. I said that I don't like that one and is also much too expensive for what it offers.
        After this the guy just try to convince me by any means possible that the Note 20 is also a very good deal. In the end he even told me that the back is made by Gorilla Glass and so on. I told him, that he needs to make his homework better, because that back is "Glastic" (according to Samsung, but still plastic material). He concluded with something like "Sir, you don't know what you are talking about, that is glass back, look at it, feel it". That was the moment I said "Thank you for all the information" and immediately left the store.
        So, they are trained to lie in the face of the customers to make them buy the less appealing models. And it will work with people that do not know much tech or trust too much these companies.
        Sorry for the long story. I wanted to prove a point.

          I like plastick back from my S2 onwards. No breaking, lighter weight, should be also lower price for that.

            "The #S21Ultra and plus have glass backs but FEEL like plastic due to the matte coating. #Samsung should have just COPIED how APPLE did matte coating."

            wow. Sycophancy at its finest.

              And innovatively called microtranscations or something.

                The pricing of the Ultra seems very attractive.

                  Wow I Love The s21 Ultra i think I'm going to change phone

Then they're gonna train their sales team to make up excuses. lol.

                      **im not a fanboy, just be cool**

                        Lol. We're gonna watch Scamsung's S21 series flop this year (except maybe the Ultra). No excuse for a $800-1000 to have a plastic back and non-expandable storage.

                        But then again, there are suckers that buy more expensive phones *ehem*iPhone*ehem* that don't even have 120hz displays and expandable storage.

                            it would still be fine to remove the headphone jack, but removing microSD? sorry, we aren't buying it.

                              No micro sd on the ultra is a deal breaker as well

                                Probably this will be the most shame S-series that Samsung was made ever. No expandable storage, no audio jack, plastic back, no compact version (hello s10e)

                                  NO EXPANDABLE STORAGE....
                                  that is crazy move from this company.
                                  That will be a big No No for many samsung fans for sure!

                                    "Carrier employees are being trained to not mention the plastic backs at all 😅 or lack of expandable storage or lack of power adapter in the box lol"

                                    That means Apple sales representatives must be given an entire 10 page manual on "What not to mention" to customers.
