Markobarko, 17 Jan 2021What is with Samsung slow speed chatging? Why not at least 45W?Slower charging: What we have is 25W fast charging on the S21 Ultra, down from Samsung's 45w charging in the S20 Ultra, only if you bought the extra 45W charger. As it was only around 10 minutes faster for a complete charge, is it a loss? Maybe for those that actually bought the 45W fast charger plug?

Much better to have an longer charge time but a large battery that can last 2 days comfortably.

chronometer, 17 Jan 2021Sounds like they're really trying to copy Apple here. ... moreRumour has it that Xiaomi is removing the chargers as well from the box but will still offer 1 free of charge if someone’s needs it, now that’s sensible.

TheAlienNextDoor, 17 Jan 20211. IR blaster is old? Tell that to billions of TVs, ACs and... moreI’m assuming the price of components has went up in general as well as Chinese companies using Chinese parts, the display for instance comes from BOE on many Chinese phones likely at a cheaper a cost, just an example but this will be happening.
The Exynos SoC that Samsung uses is likely significantly cheaper for Samsung to manufacture and implement than buying the snapdragon 888, however this year, Samsung will also be recouping a fair amount of money considering that LSi is fabricating the 5nm 888 for Qualcomm.
But much of the cost that can’t be recouped through profit Samsung will also be assisting its bottom line with removing the charger etc etc
Replacing the Galaxy S7, S8 etc with the modern stuff has also added more cameras into the mix...for that very reason this is why Apple still only offers 1 or 2 cameras on its least expensive phones.

IpsDisplay, 17 Jan 2021Plastic back is an upgrade folks Think for yourself guys... moreWhich is why paying 10ish for a clear bumper case should be a relatively easy thing to do, protects the phone and also lets you view that phones.

Sounds like they're really trying to copy Apple here. Is it a trend thing or are they cutting corners? Either way, it's a no buy from me. It's a shame too, because I really like the S10.

IpsDisplay, 17 Jan 2021Plastic back is an upgrade folks Think for yourself guys... morePlastic doesn't shatter like glass. That's an advantage but one drawback of plastic back is that it does not dissipate heat as well as plastic.

Think for yourself guys... moreNo it's not.
While plastic is indeed a much better material for smartphones, because of durability, it's still a downgrade. It costs less to make phones with plastic backs. If they were only after durability, why didn't they make steel backplates? As much as the phones cost, they ought to make them with titantium.

Muneeb Ansari, 17 Jan 2021Because they want us to depend on Google 1. That's the point. Google 1 is great but it's straight up a junk when you have a bad/slow internet connection and to access the file, you have to download it again from the cloud. They're also less secure compared to micro SD since someone can access the cloud.

Sorry, no SD card slot is a downgrade and a deal breaker. I'll wait for the Note21 Ultra.

Plastic back is an upgrade folks
Think for yourself guys not because reviewers tell you that glass is premium should you just accept it
Those reviewers won't be around when your "premium" smartphone glass back shatters into pieces and you have to pay up to $300 dollars

Nick Tagataka, 17 Jan 2021You know that Dual Pixel is a variation of PDAF, right?Phase Detection and Dual Pixel work in very different ways.
Software will never make Phase Detection do what dual pixel does.
It is hardware difference.
Person wants to tirn a dual pixel sensor into pdaf, this does not exist.
