Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra durability test uncovers two separate screen protectors

26 January 2021
This is weird, but the good news is the phone survives the testing intact.

    AnonD-731363, 28 Jan 2021Well Samsung not impressed at all. Not only they excluded... moreDude, its $200 less than the S20 Ultra. So you're losing some headphones, an SSD slot and a charging brick (which you should already have) and you're saving $200

      Jerry is now proving to be a nutcase. He should not keep the mobile screen on fire. If the lithium ion battery explodes, we'll see a handless Jerry.

      But coming to the S21 series, I believe Samsung are going all on with practical benefits:
      1080p res screen will bring better framerates on lower power,
      120Hz means reasonable gaming anyhow,
      plastic body means many will not avoid keeping a protective case/ body on it, which they do on glass,
      If I remember, GSMArena had a poll on these options and the public choice was clear: 1080p 120Hz.

      Still it sucks that after spending solid cash on it, there's an ultra which does many things better, like zooming and all.. although ultra is heavy.
      And of course, no headphone jack and no card slot means its never for me, even if it goes for $250.

        Well Samsung not impressed at all.
        Not only they excluded charger but also a SD card slot and earphones and asking same price.
        Samsung is a company which no longer deserves support.

            Not all s21s have 2 screen protectors. I got my 21 ultra today US Version version ordered through samsung.com and it did not have an inner one just the peel one over the screen. The one with the tab. You only have 2 if when you look at the selfie camera therei is a circular ring that you can clearly see in bright light.

              I received mine, also with 2 screen protectors, it's not a defect, ones the standard one you automatically peel off, and one is a real one, to keep on a protect your device, I'm in the UK and got mine on the 26th with exynos.

                In my country I got the 25 watt charger free along with galaxy active 2 watch for Indian rupees 990 ($13) as prebook offer also got additional $96 as upgrade bonus. Overall great prebook deal by samsung. Still expensive compared to US 256 gb price due to our taxes.
                The charger had two pieces of packing material which ofcourse beat the whole concept of protecting environment..

                      most people don't even have the fast fast charger required for this phone

                      most common are those 15w chargers
                      and some old apple users have 5 with chargers
                      which not gonna charge 4000 5000 mah very fast

                        They didn't include charger or earphones for sake of environment but still put a lot of plastic and release a lot smartphones in the year lol bunch of hypocrites

                          Wasn't only his, mine also came with two plastic covers for some reason.

                            That isn't a screen protector, that's an plasic cover for the screen, look at the top of the corner of the first plasic, it was a pulltab and it doesn't cover the screen curves while the real screen protector does.

                                [deleted post]if you bought it, you're just trying to justify your purchase
                                plastic is not bad at all
                                but not when the phone costs a lot of money and is considered a flagship
                                no company puts plastic backs on phones more than 700 usd

                                  Why is the screen protector thing being treated as confusing or an error? It's pretty obvious that the top layer of protector had a pull tab, meant to be removed, to reveal the standard screen protector underneath.

                                  This is a VERY welcome change, as they are showing care for the out-of-box screen film. I know some users don't use screen protectors or choose to apply their own (almost guaranteed to be less perfect than the factory install), but this at least provides care right from the box, and eliminates the agonizing screen protector application a lot of us go through before really handling or using the phone.

                                  Thanks, Samsung!

                                    A nice phone to hold, play with at the local store, then wind up buying a gaming-centric device.

                                        After watch the bend test, i see samsung give 2 screen protectors, make me want to buy S21 Ultra more.


                                        Eh no, samsung still dont have generosity, they dont give the charger. Finding fast - save - original charger is so difficult out there
