I have received my order of Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra - AMA

Well what can I say as much as I love my device it is time to upgrade and move on. I preordered my S9+ and had it since March 2018 just like I did the S21 Ultra today. Samsung is giving me $350 for it and I paid 750ish back then so I think this is a good value from a 3 year old device. I was debating for a few weeks but in the ended I decided that the things I like and dislike in S9+ and what makes S21 superior are worth it

Unacceptable to you on a phone to you

I can't be alone in finding that there some minor things on a phone that drive me nuts but to most people are completely irrelevant.

Mine is ugly unchangeable fonts. I downloaded the OnePlus 7T Android 11 beta just to get the new 'Helvetica' style font it comes with as I hated the Slate and Roboto standard font choices.

Let's here yours....

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra | System ROM takes up 24GB of space (128GB Model)

This stock system ROM is about 4-5 times larger than your average debloated ROM. I was quite surprised to see I've already used a quarter of space by merely downloading two larger games and saving my music library to my device.

Screenshot of system storage

This is the first device in some time that does NOT include a slot for an microSD card/expanded internal storage....

S21 Ultra Arrived a day early (UK)

Coming from a Pixel 5 (and before that a P2XL), I am not loving what Samsung do in terms of UI. Already installed lawnchair.

The zoom lenses seem great, but the pictures are coming out with a more bluish hue than I am used to with the pixel. Hoping to get out and compare camera's a bit this weekend.

Let me know if you have any questions....

What new features would you like to see for 'Chat Bubbles'?

Bubbles, or chat heads, that rolled out in Android 11. What new features would you like to see? Or changes? Design wise or functionally.

* Background blur? So easier to read?

* Drag and drop? (Drag URL to the bubble or drag a photo from Google Photos, etc)

* Typing indicator would be cool (Either have, "...." by the bubble or an outer ring around the bubble head to show typing)


(NOT, 'I wish they would make bubbles work' or 'fix bugs'). This is about potential features and updates....
