    Sham93, 22 Apr 2021Hi All..need some help with all awesome techies here. Im... moreI have just done a search on google. Your model number SM-G998B/DS is an international version which means it's the exynos chipset.

      My S21 Ultra is taking 1 hour and 30 minutes to charge from 5-100% with the Samsung 25W Super Fast charger. I'm using the cable supplied with the phone.

      Both the Fast charging and Super Fast charging options are enabled on the phone.

      Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

          Hi All..need some help with all awesome techies here.

          Im about to buy Samsung S21 Ultra, 16gb ram, 512 gb memory, made in Taiwan, UK version and the model number is SM-G998B/DS.

          The retailer told me its snapdragon chipset but as far as i know samsung only has snapdragon chipset on US and china version.

          Can someone help me.. if this model is really snapdragon or Exynos chipset.

          Thanks in advance

                I got the S21 Ultra in January. Definitely faster than my previous phone, definitely heavier too. Battery life is ok. Other than camera I found the bundled apps boring or too data collecting, so bye bye to those and it does not let you access your old favourite apps without alot of hurdles to jump. The phone does get hot. I turned on full 120hz because I can. Occasionally I get black lines across the screen now.
                The phone came with wireless earphones which were awful and I paid extra for a wireless charging cradle which is good.

                All in all an ok phone for a premium price tag

                  ME, 01 Apr 2021Samsung has all the right hardware, what stopped me was and... moreWhat do you mean the contacts are gone after a system update? If the contacts are backed up with your Google account, you shouldn't lose them, but it's a bummer hearing that this happens.

                          ME, 01 Apr 2021Samsung has all the right hardware, what stopped me was and... moreS21 Ultra is one of the best devices this year. I have been using Samsung phones for 10 years and I never lost any contacts. I don't know what you are talking about. I am now using a Xiaomi phone and it has the worst version of android that I ever used and never going to buy again.I am not saying that One UI doesn't have problems but what you wrote here is total nonsense. Buy a S21 Ultra and you will see that the positive sides outruns the negative by a mile. You can't recommend someone to avoid such a good device just because you don't like that it has some apps from Sammy, it's again total nonsense. Go buy a Xiaomi with tons of bloatware and adds and then you will see what it means to use and experience a bad software.

                            Sud, 26 Mar 2021Would I be better off getting s20 ultra over the S21? if only for the additional features the ultra has but bear in mind there are some camera issue which have sort of been fixed such as autofocus in some instances...look up the review here on gsmarena as they mention its pros and cons

Also Samsung have yet not figured out how to save the contacts after a system update. They are always gone after you've updated your phone. Still have a samsung though because no other company have the right hardware. Software wise, your better off with almost anything else in the same price range.

Absolutely flawless in every single way. I'm a fan of the underdogs but there simply isn't one out there that can do the polished job Samsung can. These days that underdogs can't even claim to have that much of a lower cost either.
