S20 (163g), S21 (169g/171g)
I usually like to wait for formal reviews to come out but the trade in values and pre-order credits are insane this year.
In total $95 to upgrade ($50 if you sell your accessories)
Pros and cons upgrading from S20 to S21 base model:
+ Snapdragon 888, 5nm (865 is 7nm), claims ~50% performance increase
+ Adreno 660 S21 vs Adreno 660 S20, claims ~33% performance increase
+ flat screen (easy to find tempered glass protectors finally)
+ variable refresh (48-120hz) should improve battery life
+ Gorilla Glass Vicious on S21 vs Gorilla Glass 6 on S21, claim is 2x scratch resistance
+ adds 5G mmWave bands that aren't included on S20
+ S21 internal storage is UFS 3.1 vs S20 UFS 3.0, 3x seq write speed increase (read speed 1x same)
+ Product under warranty extra year
+ Fresh Battery
+ S21 camera performance improvements in the dark
+ 5G processor now embedded into snapdragon 888 die, slight increase performance and energy savings
- No MST
- No SDCARD, use auto cloud backup service instead
- S21 has 8GB memory vs S20 12GB memory, not likely to see any diff unless super heavy user.
- S21 is heavier at 171grams vs S20 at 163grams
- Don't like the camera placement in the back so close to the corner, makes cases less effective to protect on impact.
= S20 is only 120hz @ FHD and 60Hz @ QHD resolution, most keep it at FHD
= S20 has Glass back , vs S21 has plastic back, no matter since most have it in a case
= No Charger, after using trade-in later couple years I have many chargers laying around
= No earbuds with S21, again have many from previous phones
S21 base mode DOES NOT have variable refresh

urlhasbeenblocked only gives the 10% on the price after trade-in, so are you confused by that.

So basically a new account.
Last year I tried to do it and it wouldn't work and then created a new account and it worked.
What's the difference if I order Unlocked vs AT&T?
If I order AT&T, does that mean it ships with an AT&T sim card inside?
And if I order Unlocked, then I will need to go to an AT&T store to get the sim card and activate?
Thanks!
