Pretty shitty this year, no microsd card, only 1080p screen, no mst for samsung pay, nothing in the box like the akg earphones or the 25w fast charger. Doesn't matter what the big tech review sites say camera is definitely not a major upgrade over S20 Samsung must be paying a lot for the rave reviews to push the phone. Battery life is still pretty bad.

I got the phone and honestly didn't feel much of an upgrade over the s20 i traded in.

These were the some distinct advantages of chosing a Samsung over other phones but now they have taken away all that

At this rate a pixel 5 or even an iphone 12 is a better choice in my opinion. Both of those don't suffer from the terrible battery life that you get on samsung!
Just tried to price match with Samsung via live chat and was also told to contact them once my order has been delivered. I took a screenshot and wrote down the reference # just in case.

FYI, these promos worked/stacked for me...
Promo Code - 50LATESTGALAXY5G $50.00
Promo Code - GALAXYWOTIREVS21FPUB $250.00
Promo Code - DENIEDFINANCING $73.68
Bundle Discount $592.94
Education Discount $183.35
Referral Discount(s) $108.00
(and 10% CB)

These did not work for me but YMMV...

This is for an S21 Ultra 512GB bundled with a Tab S7+ 256GB, Buds Pro, and MOGA controller.
For those that don't know, Samsung removed the MicroSD card slot. Greed is literally the only reason for this move. Force people to buy the larger storage versions.

The last one doesn't appear to work for me.

Yes. I contacted them today, and they actually told me to reach out to them again AFTER it shipped. I saved a screenshot just in case.
Last code didnt work? What about the 1st code? I was told by few reps that it was expired so am curious if 1st code still works today

Looks like the S20 FE 5G price has dropped $145, that's non trade-in price.
I have one on the way and chatted about a price adjustment, I'll have to wait and see if they actually do it.

This is what I have so far, I am using Tickets at Work.
So it is $365 right now.
I would price match Best Buy or B&H right now to get it down to $165.
Then buy the Galaxy Buds Pro with $200 credit.

Total $165, then sell Galaxy Buds Pro for $150.
Does that seem correct? How can I get referral codes for additional discount?

I think you can treated S21 as upgrade S20FE, an economic version of the true premium (the ultra), sacrifice few item (much desired but not a necessity) to get the cost down. I don't regret losing the akg earphones or the 25w fast charger, the 100 dollar coupon more than compensated for that, you can get a pretty high quality earbud+ or live and charger for the same price. Lets face 25w fast charger is not impressive at, since the Note 7 debacle, Samsung has been extremely conservation on battery and fast charge. Sacrificing battery capacity and charging speed for safety

How many dudes is that?

🤣 Hope he has a good signal down there. He needs access to cloud storage if he wants to memorialize the encounter in 8K.

At least the Apple will get software updates longer than the 2 years on my Samsung.

It's a good time to do some price matching with Samsung. Smilie

Perhaps.
When I ordered from Samsung (still awaiting shipment, now the weather is an excuse) the S21+ 256GB is costing $764.99 with an S7 trade-in. This deal is for the 128GB without trade-in, but I still think I am coming out ahead based on all factors.

I love it when people use this as a selling point. You are essentially paying for the updates when you buy an Apple.
Just link in the PC world -- you buy or build a PC, purchase Windows 10 for a low as say $40, or buy an Apple, essentially pay $300 for the OS and then get 'free' updates.

How much storage do you really require ? I have both the plus and ultra and it's very hard to tell the difference in resolution. It's all in your head if you think there's a difference. Akg earphones were garbage. A charger would be nice but most people already have several blocks. Iphone Is not a better choice the battery life is horrible, charging is slow, screen is a huge downgrade. I'm sorry but you're so lost or haven't used the iPhone 12

I had a note 10 plus before s21+, i noticed a huge difference with resolution. Now i got the ultra and am happy.

I looked at several videos side by side there is very little difference. I would really love to know what exactly you saw was different. I'm genuinely curious. For me There is slightly more detail in foliage,waves but you really wouldn't be able to tell if you didn't know what phone was what. It's baffling I hear people say they see a huge difference when I don't think there is. 🤔 the s21 can downscale 4k video to 1080p. resolution is not anywhere near a priority here.
