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.

Quote from Krawk :
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.

Don't have any Apple products. I don't like Apple. Even with my disdain for Apple, I can acknowledge some of its positive points. Have been a Samsung user for years. The advantages that Samsung HAD over Apple are gone with this current line of phones. I'm one of those SD card freaks that doesn't want to hand over all of my pictures and videos over to someone's cloud server.

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.
Can you provide some details.

No sd slot, might as well get a apple

Sure if you want a phone that is great at benchmarking get the iphone. If you care about the battery draining faster and taking much longer to charge get an iPhone. Having a big notch while watching videos and having half the nits looking washed out in comparison. I really wanted to stick with the iPhone 12 but after trying both the iPhone is years behind. Face ID in a pandemic is also broken. Fingerprint sensor wins here.

When I log into the samsung site it shows the S20 FE for 554.99 but when I ordered one a couple weeks ago, that will arrive this week, the cost was 699.99. The chat agent I chatted with said that he would forward it up and they, whoever they are, will look at it and adjust my price accordingly. I had this done a few years ago as well, so I'm not to concerned about them not doing it's just a matter how much will they decide to adjust.

I did. I had to clear my cache, I believe. But it did eventually work.

It's a good time to do some price matching with Samsung. Smilie
You get your product shipped like in a month. Is a benefit if you don't want your product right away and get an opportunity like this to price match.

Anybody have any luck getting them to price match the carrier version? I'm not sure if they will, since while Best Buy has them, they require a new line activation. If you want to buy the phone without activation, Best Buy tells you to buy the unlocked version.

I'm with AT&T, and so far as I know, a lot of the advanced calling features (Wifi Calling and VOLTE) only work on the carrier branded model. Though if anybody has definitive evidence that this is not the case, please let me know. [I'd read, at least with the S20s, that you could get it to work on unlocked versions by flashing the AT&T ROM, but that this eventually stopped working.] I'd much rather get the unlocked version than the bloatware-filled AT&T version.

Pardon the dumb question.
Wife and I have a Galaxy S7 Edge (Verizon). I have two questions.
1. Is it worth upgrading to S20 or is it better to upgrade to S21?
2. If I bought an unlocked phone, can I just take my SIM card from S7 and put it in S20/S21 and start using it right away?

Many thanks!

As far as I know, WiFi calling and VoLTE should work with any compatible unlocked phone as well(if carrier supports). Currently using unlocked version of Galaxy S10+ with T-Mobile; both WiFi calling and VoLTE working fine. Also worked with Red Pocket GSMA (AT&T). YMMV

You have to search google for "samsung refferal codes", they are not allowed to be posted here. Found one in a reddit thread.
