AnonD-966113, 07 Feb 2021Ikr! Wtf do people use 8gb ram for!? 4gb is sufficient for... moreMany Android phones get bottlenecked when using apps or games with just 4GB of RAM. Samsung’s OneUI consumes roughly 2GB of RAM, so you don’t have much left. I think 6GB is the bare minimum, 8 is just right, 10 above are excessive.

        Marvin, 06 Feb 2021Just a basic question, if you are using a plastic back, why... moreSorry but the back’s glass to start with. Unless you’re talking about the regular S21. Removable plastic back will cancel splash and water resistance.

            Seul8tr, 06 Feb 2021Because a shttttyyyy 8gb Ram. Plastic cheap back instead of... moreLol the S21+ does not even use a plastic back. I thought it was plastic at first, but after testing in a store I found out it was frosted glass back like the iPhone 12 Pro. The build quality is premium enough.

            8GB RAM on a phone like that is more than enough, it’s not like you’ll have to multitask a lot and if you do so the CPU will be stressed anyway. There are phones out there with high RAM but poor CPU, especially lower end models from Oppo and Vivo (ex. Oppo A9).

              Seul8tr, 06 Feb 2021Because a shttttyyyy 8gb Ram. Plastic cheap back instead of... moreHuge difference between cheap feeling plastic and this premium looking matte plastic.

                Hi Samsung please don't make fool people with your exynos . At least you Snapdragon in flagship models.

                    My S21+ 2100 has less on screen time than my f2 pro 865, from 1.5h to 2h. Both have aam apps, settings, ...

                        Epic fail with 8gb Ram.
                        This phone will not sell like the 12gb ram S205g

                          Only 8gb RAM
                          the S20+ had 12gb Ram
                          You're better off S20+ than this custard .
                          You will get better multitasking with 12gb Ram.

                            Mr. Anonymous, 06 Feb 2021Flat screen is a pro, not a con.Not everybody's opinion, flat screens have better usability, curved ones look better, in the end it is a matter of taste

                              Inside the Box there is no charger & Head Phone in this reason we could not buy.

                                So worried about environment.
                                I saw on reddit a photo of the box they send the charger if you buy online.

                                There is a small box with charger inside.
                                Then, another box where little box goes in.
                                This bigger box is big enough to have an ipad in there.
                                Charger's box do not use 1/4 of the total space.

                                  No sd card, less screen resolution, less RAM, less internal memory (no 512GB)... I am not changing my S20+ 512GB Snapdragon for this,and will probably won't come back to Samsung if the trend continues

                                    Too bad, Samsung has already stopped supplying S20 series units to its stores.

                                        Just a basic question, if you are using a plastic back, why not make it removable? You gain customization options and the posibility to have removable battery as well....just think of that...0 to 100% battery in under 1 minute...talk aboit quick charge
