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...
YOURGALAXY1RESERVEWA
50_CS_LATESTGALAXY_5G
50PERRESERVED

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.

Thanks. What a great deal! Bought the S21+ 256GB and tab 7+.

The phone came out to $375+ tax after S10 trade-in (with EPP discount of $40) so $925 before trade-in. How does the price match work with Amazon? They have it for $800 but Samsung is $925 after discounts so refund of $125?

For price matching, I used the chat function with customer service (chose "something else" 2 times). I provided them with the Amazon link and a screenshot of the device (you click and drag it into chat box). Was told to contact them once it ships to get a refund and was provided a ticket #.

Please note, that I purchased the same color version as the Amazon linked one although i wanted the another color but its going to be in a case. Want the model #'s to be the same.

Agree. I switched from iphone to samsung due the the micosd. I am thinking about getting iphone now. Many nice competitive advantages are now gone. I dont mind to sell my s8 to 3rd party or simply trade in, but I have not seen any great deal for iPhone. please share if any fellow sd have any insight. I am with Tmobile one plan.

Seriously considering trying to upgrade a S20+ for a S21+, but some things are worse on the new phone - screen, no SD slot, MST Samsung pay removed. However, history says the upgrade path for the next having the newest phone will probably get me a better trade in value and a 5-month newer battery.

With my EPP discount I'm able to do the upgrade for $109 and get a free Active2 pink watch (likely resell) and a set a Buds Pro heads phone for free too.

So many cry babies in this thread. If you don't like what Samsung is doing don't buy the phone. No need to cry on the internet about it. Does the removal of the SD card suck.... Yes but it is what it is. IPhones have never had that feature and they sale just fine. I pre-order every Samsung flagship, here's and example of why. Samsung always gives top credit for there previous flagship as long as it's not damaged. Here's what I got and how much I paid. For my s21 ultra.

Trade in - Note 20 ultra $700 credit

Bought- s21 ultra 256gb model
Received in addition with promo credit.
1. s21 ultra Silicon case
2. S21 ultra rugged case
3. Smart tag
4. Moga xp5 controller for Xcloud
5. S21 ultra leather case
6. Galaxy buds +
7. 4 month YouTube premium
8. 3 months xbox game pass

Paid $227

Every year I basically do the same, sometimes twice a year as I go between the note and the s line. I always have to latest and greatest phone and never have to worry about battery fade or other bs. Now that price does include a $300 promo code but even at $527,look at everything I get for that amount of money. Basically $500 for something I use everyday. I've been known to blow $500 at a bar in one night. Bottom line Samsung phones are cutting edge, every release. So if you pay $500 one time, every year for something you use everyday. Imo, that's a pretty good deal. Not to mention all the extras you get on a pre order this is just my $.02 long and winded 😁
Good story bro. Did your fingers hurt typing all those words?

I did buy Black 256GB S21+ from samsung. Now the cost different between amazon and samsung is $250.00, may I know how much samsung will refund on the actual price of $1050.00 ? Did they give you the refund dollar amount details ?

Will try to get Best Buy to price match the S21 Ultra 256GB Amazon price of $999. At Best Buy, I can get the phone much quicker (like tomorrow!). I'm not waiting up to 5 weeks for Amazon to ship me a phone. That's nuts

Pls note that samsung seems to be PM'ing the "activate later" price and not the "activate now" price.

In the case of S21+ at BestBuy, the 256 GB version is listed at 849.99 for "activate later", while the 128 GB version is listed at 799.99 for "activate later"

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.

Amen to that. I'm constantly amazed at these folks trusting their property to these corporations that have proven time and again to be less than honerable. Sd card slot is a non negotiable.
