YUKI93, 26 Jan 2021I actually don't mind plastic back at all. I use a pho... moreAt least the cost was only $50 to go from 128GB of storage to 256GB. In the past it was $100. So I went with the 256GB version since there was no SD card option.

And with the plastic back, I notice no difference with the plastic back on the S21 than with the glass back that was on my S10. Since my phone is always in a Spigen case. So I never see the actual back of the phone.

The S21 has been the least amount I've paid for a Galaxy S phone. It only cost me $300 after my S10 trade in($550 trade in value). Between the lower retail price, the very generous trade in deals, and the $160 to $200 incredits for accessories the S21 was a sweet deal.

    PrYmCHGOan, 27 Jan 2021You are aware, the vast majority of phone buyers could care... moreyes many people care 1440p.... if you say acceptable even 720 looks good and is acceptable because phone screen size is small.

    1440 when you screen youtube in 1440 resolution you notice the difference compare to 1080 way sharper... for playing game too...

    For me sd card is not much usefull.. i do the download mostly on laptop hahaha... also not take much 4k video.... even with sd and 2nd sim hybrid i use it for 2nd sim

    for price increase wake up all manufacturer like samsung and apple keep increasing flagship every year whether you like it or not... even cheap china brand like xiaooomiiii also increase it mi10 n mi 11 so much until you scare.

    please search more s21 ultra keep 1440.... clearly it want customer to buy higher price one. suddenly i realise it copy huawawei.... cos huawawei also keep cheaper spec for vanilla than pro version.

      Thats not possible.
      Far more expensive than S20 by excluding charger and earphones.
      This will not sell as S20 not even half of the sales.
      Samsung is nothing just a thief.
      Robbery on a customers is all they do.

        Processor, 26 Jan 2021When Samsung finishes discriminating against Europe, and ot... moreThis stupid complaint about Exynos vs SnapDragon is so tiring an dumb.
        Most people who buy phones have zero knowledge about specs. You few little fanboys who want to argue frivolous things like the differences in the SoC, are not a large enough crowd to have much effect on sales.

        The S models sales drop is totally due to increase in prices and removal of features.

        Samsung will never win with people like you. because first you all complain about the phones are boring and need new features. Then when they bring new features, which means older features will start to disappear, you frikkin complain about that too.

        sdcards and many of those other features have been in Samsung phones for a decade or more. It si time for old crap to go to make room for better newer things. if those old features mean so much to you, all those old phones will work exactly the same as they did when they were released. You can easily go buy one.

        The only true complaint I have is the removal of the headphones and charger. A charger is required.

          uknowme, 27 Jan 2021Samsung is stupid think will match with s20 in your dream..... moreYou are aware, the vast majority of phone buyers could care less or even know what the phone is made of or the screen resolution. Right?

          Similar things were said about too. They managed just fine.

          The reason the S and Note sales dropped, is because of the steady increase in prices, and removal of features people want.

          Glass my "feel" better than plastic, but it is not better than plastic.
          Losing sdcard support is more important than 1080p vs 1440p.

          I don't know why they dropped the res down to 1080P+ vs 1440P+, but more people will just keep the phone at the native resolution it is set at out the box.

          Even though it is 1080p vs 1440p, they did drop the price $200 on all model. Unlike Apple who phones have never really been that much above 1080p.

            Take the prices back down to $650 $750 & $850 and they will go back to selling to the 50M+ mark.

              Samsung is stupid think will match with s20 in your dream.... 1080p low class screen plastic back and no charger... n what they say no as card... the ad now only show s21 ultra? Force people buy exp and earn more? Sorry Samsung you will see later your sale. Goodbye

                  Until this year i had only Samsung S-series phones (Exynos). This year i said i must try other brands just to see the diferences and bought a Huawei P30 (i wanted P40, but no Google, so...). My best decision ever, the battery is a monster (vs crappy Exynos), the cameras WOW and it runs so smooth, no lag, noting. So, untill Samsung does not do something about Exynos, i won't come back, although the software is more user friendly at Samsung.

                      First they removed 3.5mm jack, followed by Expandable Storage, Charger, AKG Earphones. Worse is most countries don't have an option of getting Snapdragon but forced only with Crappynos! Hope their sales constantly drop this following years.

                        When Samsung finishes discriminating against Europe, and other countries, by not selling Qualcom handsets but Exynos yes, which are inferior even in terms of battery life, Samsung's sales will increase. What is this about using Qualcom chips in China and the USA? What a lack of respect.

                                      Xiaomi's service center in Canada. It doesn't exist. That's how good Xiaomi is.
