It wasn't defective. It was just rubbish :D

Agree with kona786 I'm afraid. The FPS was garbage for me. The auto brightness was as good as useless. The screen was average at best. The haptic were rubbish. The supposed superior software experience is not actually superior at all these days, in many respects Samsung software is actually...

Generally been really happy with this phone but I do have a first world problem. I have dark mode turn on in a schedule, and quite often the Google app doesn't change back to light mode automatically without either force closing the Google app or restarting the phone. It seems completely random...

Today I learned... Luckily I've not found a theme on there I like so am unaffected by this issue, but I can see how that would be annoying

Granted. I never said it was a bad deal, just for me, not worth spending £500 on. I was just underwhelmed by it, plus I had some issues with it that I never had on my Pixel 5. Ultimately, I am probably the issue, not the phone. I guess I just wanted something that really felt like a good upgrade...

Depends what you want it for really? If its to plug a pair of headphones into the jack then probably best off staying where you are. Similarly, if you want to plug an SD card in... If its for the camera, screen, battery life and performance, then it might be worth it... depends on how much...

I do indeed... in fact I spent a little more time arguing with strangers on the Internet about that fact... However, the screen does *look* smaller on the 5, and mainly because it's narrower. All the UI elements look smaller and they are. It is basically the non XL model that's been stretched...

Personally, and each to their own, but I thought the 5 was a very underwhelming upgrade over my 2XL. Certainly better on paper but in the real world the devices were so similar as to be barely noticeable as an upgrade. In fact the most welcome change for me was wireless charging. The screen...

Sounds about the same as my experience. Sliding across the bottom for different apps can seem very janky at times, and rather inconsistent. Going home or back sometimes it's reluctant. And even after using gestures for months, I still keep accidentally going back or killing apps while I'm merely...

My take on the camera, coming from a Pixel 5. Overall, I think the camera is very good for a phone, but I have to say low light photos of people etc seem to come out better on the Pixel which just seems to have a more consistent performance, its easier to get a bad shot on the galaxy. Otherwise...

I missed this, but there was one occasion maybe a week or two ago where I was playing music from the s21u to my amp via Bluetooth and I noticed that it was much quieter than normal. Once I restarted the phone it was back to normal.

Shooting with the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G: how you can take the best shots (telstra.com.au)

I don't think I've yet found a keyboard that I don't do that with. You can change the Samsung keyboard with Good Lock but I haven't got around to it.

This is by design. Why would you want dark mode on a Web page when the rest of your phone is in light mode? It makes no sense. The toggle is there to disable dark mode while the phone is already in dark mode in case the page rendering is screwed up or indeed just that you prefer reading the...

I always found the fps hit and miss on pixels, yet its tbf opposite experience here, works great. Way better than any pixel I've had, especially the 5 which was garbage frankly.

I think the S21 Ultra might just be my favourite phone of all time. I genuinely find very few flaws, everything just seems to work, which is unusual for me as I always seem to find something that is annoying. A little effort was needed to personalise the phone to my preferences, but otherwise...

The results it produces are worth the minor irritation!

It's a silly suggestion in todays climate, but ultimately, I dare say they aren't far from the mark either. Like many, I've gone from having an active social life and a fairly enjoyable 9-5 office job in the centre of town, to having absolutely no social life whatsoever and working from home. I...

Personally, I would agree there should be an age limit on this sort of thing. I mean technically you're not allowed a tattoo until you're 18, which I think is fine, so the whole concept of going through this sort of mutilation at a young age doesn't seem wise. Kids dont really know their own...

Yep I noticed this. Mildly annoying innit?
