Any idea about

Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G Leather Cover

I purchased for S20 and it worked well
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sasha8200:
How does this cover looks and holding grip. On Samsung website only this is availble
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
It gives a very good protection all around. But its a dust magnet...hard to maintain.

Edit: Its silicone so has the best grip of all cases.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] drtushar:
I got my S21U yesterday from local dealer.

Bought it for 91k cash payment.

Its a beautiful looking device but quiet bulky and slippery.

Please suggest my a thin fitting case as all Spigen cases look wiered this time.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] VRaju:
Go for Spigen Thin Fit case. this will be the best minimal case for now. Nillkin Frosted is available in amazon but currently selling at 2000, quite expensive. or u may have to wait some more time to get from caseology/ringke...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sagarb:
I have pretty awsome experience with ringkee fusion x waiting to get one
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] TheChiragShaikh:
Anyone got 16gb/512gb Variant??
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sasha8200:
91K:oops:

Any calculation. Even If I add 10K HDFC cash back it becomes 1.01

What about freebies will you get the same or will dealer get same.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] drtushar:
10k discount gets it down to 95k and additional 4k discount from the local dealer.

The watch and the smart tag is for grab as and when samsung releases it.

Infact even amazon had similar offer of 6k discount with 10k hdfc credit card offer that gets the price down to 90890 rs
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nick191:
You got the coupon option in Amazon? That doesn't appear in every account!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
After a day of continuos use...

The display looks solid, no green tint or banding issues like the Note 20U mess.

Its so mesmerizing to use 120hz at QuadHD, gone are those days wer I used to increase the dpi to make the screen look sharper with 120Hz.:LOL:

Battery is good...as good as S20U (still learning my usage pattern)

Camera, clicked more pictures than videos...zero heating issues.

The 100x space zoom is what we expected the S20U to be....Great improvement....kudos Samsung

I can very easily capture textual/numerical content ~300 to 400 ft away, even at an angle which is practically impossible for naked eyes.

Overall a solid phone...

If i had to nitpick, they could have made the corners a tad narrow-er since they are discontinuing Note series this year.

The front look of the phone is just like another S20U.:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] krkdesigns:
Got the phone delivered on Monday.

From today, Wednesday, we can go the Samsung shop app and select 'for you' section to order the watch and other accessories.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sukrith:
Anyone found how to change the colour of the apps on edge lighting?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nick191:
Are you seeing any option in "For You" tab of Samsung Shop App ?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] krkdesigns:
I see the option. But there are no products listed. I think by today the option will have the products listed.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nick191:
Yes, I can see that "For you" tab but no option or coupon code to make the purchase!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nick191:
I have a huge confusion folks !!!

Please help me out!

I have ordered using Samsung Shop App and I have used only one number throughout the procedure but my mobile number wasn't registered with Samsung Shop Account! Which I did on the day of the delivery. This account wasn't new and was already existing since I had Samsung device prior to this one.

I still haven't inserted any sim to the phone to activate it and this clause are getting confusing for me.

They are mentioning 2 number, Shipping Mobile Number and Pre-book number! What if only my email was registered with Samsung Shop App and I ordered the phone. While placing the order I have mentioned the mobile number and on that number only I am receiving all the text updates. What is the pre-book number here and what if the pre-book isn't there!

I don't want to loose out on pre-book offers, please help me with this! My further steps are going to decide my Rs.20K worth of stuff!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] krkdesigns:
This is the process as per the document:

Process for redemption of Samsung Shop benefit - Once you receive and activate the Device

you will have to follow the process given hereunder to redeem the Samsung Shop benefit as

under:

Shop App.

Google Playstore) must be completed by 31st March 2021 failing which you will not

be eligible for the Pre-book Offers.

iii. Registration & sign in to Samsung Shop App to be done with same mobile number

used for pre-booking & activating the Device. In case any other mobile number is

used, you will not be eligible to avail the Pre-book Offers.

iv. In case you are already a Samsung Shop user, then you must pre-book & activate the

Device with the same mobile number with which you are registered in the Samsung

Shop application or else you will have to create a new Samsung Shop app account

x. The shipping of Samsung product purchased by you will happen within 30 (thirty) days from the day of placing order for the same at Samsung Shop (i.e. Samsung e- store)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] krkdesigns:
I think the number you are recieving the updates will be the one.

Verify the same once with the customer support team.

I would also send an email asap so that it's documented for future reference.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nick191:
Okay, Thanks.

Edit: Can I consider that the number on which I was receiving login OTP for Samsung Shop App is my Pre-booking number ?

I know I am sounding really really dumb and noob but I have used years old account to order this one and didn't check all these back then !

I ordered the phone on 19th Jan and I have received the OTP to login to Samsung Shop App of 17th Jan! [I checked it in msg app]

The root of the confusion is when I logged into my Samsung Shop Account in my S21 Ultra it didn't recognise my mobile number and I had to sign-in using e-mail address, then I was directed to enter the mobile number! It is very strange and that's why I am having this confusion!!!

Edit 2: When I am logging in using my phone number I am not seeing anything in the order tab but when I login using the email address I am able to see my order of S21U in order tab! Even if I login to my Samsung Account I am able to see my order of S21U ! Now it's really messed up!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sagarb:
go to notification->brefi popup settings->edge lightning style.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sukrith:
I got that... But how to change the style? I could pick the colour for each apps before instead of the pre selected ones...🤔
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
I'm also in a kinda messed up situation,

There was an offline booking taken with my new number, but with Samsung account email id linked to a different number(primary mobile number).

But I have kept it simple, I feel its all about the mobile number and the device(IMEI), not the email.

I just inserted the new number into SIM1 slot, activated the device and logged into Samsung Shop using the OTP option on the same number.

I also inserted my primary number into SIM2 slot.

Fingers crossed.

This is what my for you tab shows...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Close to 48 hours now on the ultra. Getting pretty awesome battery uptime and SOT even after restoring via smartswitch. Absolutely perfect.

Clocked 5hrs 49mins at 49% yesterday. WQHD+ and Adaptive refresh rate. Eye Comfort Shield active all day.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
Whatz the brighness level you are at and the eye comfort shield always on or adaptive?

With power saving mode on it should fetch you even more.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] twisted_mind:
My bad eye Comfort is adaptive as I want it to function like true tone on ios where it's always working. Instead of just the blue light filter I used to use from sunset to sunrise until the S20.

Brightness is auto.

No power saving whatsoever. I want to enjoy the phone rather than be chained to insecurity. I've been through all that ocd lol 😂
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
Samsung has refused my cancellation of the 512GB order....They say they will ship it and you refuse the delivery.

What nonsense I'm now tempted to keep the 512GB and sell 256 :cry:
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] VRaju:
Good Morning.

Any one got the coupon code on samsung shop app. Eagerly waiting
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
Expected anytime today....I'm looking for watch active 2 rose gold for my wife.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] kannanX10:
if u have used the same no for offline prebooking and activation,then definitely you will receive prebook offers,nothing to worry------only the number matters
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nick191:
I am not sure whether I should upgrade from my Galaxy Watch to Activate 2 or Watch 3 !
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sagarb:
don't expect color. Sure Samsung will disappoint us by giving black
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] kannanX10:
yes you can refuse it while delivery ---- if pricing for 256 is good then keep 512
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] kannanX10:
Absolutely ,they will most probably will give black or the colour that hasn't sold well
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Darbar1701:
The watch 3 is what I got and I love it
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nick191:
There is one clause which also states that your pre-book number should be registered three days prior inserting in the sim1 slot of the phone! I have registered my number with Samsung Account yesterday so I will wait till 30th Jan before activating the device!

Will also call CC to confirm the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
You will compromise on the battery for a more crisp and slightly bigger display and for the polished looks.

Thatz true, then I will sell it off on olx.

Yeah, thatz my plan actually :p
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
Not necessary, but if you prefer to wait then good, you can also use my case as guinea pig before activation :p
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nick191:
Please post once you receive the coupons! Then I might take the chance! 😂

You have already read my situation I hope in earlier posts!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
Sure will update you immediately...I'm well aware of it.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sukrith:
I got a push notifications saying the offer has started! But when I clicked it... It wasn't working...🥺🥺🥺
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
What is currently displayed in the for you tab/screen?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sukrith:
Nothing... But I did have a talk with their "redemption desk" and they said it'll be active at 5pm today! I asked them on whether I can redeem my points to buy the watch active 2 as in that ₹990 and they have no clue! 😑

@nick191 for clarification, you can call 1800107267864 and they will help you with your doubt.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
Just wanted to know if it looks something like this for you
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sukrith:
Ya! Same here... It'll be available starting from 5pm it seems
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] VRaju:
I guess, there will be an update for Samsung Shop App. By then the code should pop up.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] zaydenQ:
I read the offer will only show up if the sim has been there in the phone for 72 hours. Is it true or will it be up for redemption even before that?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] twisted_mind:
Last year I got the S20 on Friday night and Saturday morning was able to redeem the Buds+ the 72 hours is just a estimate. It should hopefully come up sooner this time too.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] kannanX10:
they usually say 72hrs but once the offers are made available and it can be redeemed immediately if used the prebooked sim for the past 24 hrs-----else if you are activating your device after 5pm today/if redemption had already started,then you will get the banner but you are eligible for redemption only after midnight(now it will show that you are eligible and can be redeemed)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lycan_codex:
they said they will let me know after Jan 29th. Realistically we are looking at Feb 5th
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lycan_codex:
did anyone get their 512 GB S21 Ultra?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] drtushar:
This is the offer I got on Amazon
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] drtushar:
this price is inclusive of the watch and the tag.

have got the watch today and the phone with tag will be shipping on 29th Jan
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
It does matter to a lot of people for sure. And since I stopped using it for a few years now in a phone, it doesn't bother me at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
Yeah, looking around outside Samsung looks like it is long gone.

My only problem is I have a 200gig of personal photos/videos since 2015 and I do not want to go cloud. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
In India S21U is launching with 256 and 512 GB storage.

The 512GB storage comes with 16GB RAM, colors phantom black and silver.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] zaydenQ:
So SD Card support is gone. What will I do with my 400GB SD card?

And we get such crappy preorder offers when almost all countries are getting Galaxy Buds Pro and Smart tag with their pre-order. And even if I get the 10k voucher I don't need it since I already have the Active 2 and Buds live. The 10k cashback isn't useful either because we would have to pay extra for the charging adapter and the SPen. What a ****show.

Definitely going to cancel my pre-reservation.

Should I get the Fold 2 instead? Someone I know will sell it to me for 40k extra + my Note 20U. Or should I stick with my Note 20U which heats up quite a lot?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
My brother uses the Z Fold 2 and he hardly opens it, the square form factor is a little uncomfortable as well.

Camera is ok ok. Placing it in your jeans pocket is a joke.

EDIT: Missed the final part, 1,06000 /- for a 256GB variant. 10k cashback makes it 96k
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
Whatz in favour of S21U is 120hz QHD+ display, 5000mah + VRR Display, upgraded, bigger sized fingerprint sensor.

Exynos 2100 (hoping), Camera versatility.

In comparison to Note 20 U its definitely an upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bala_gamer:
Finally something good on all aspects from samsung, looking forward
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Still stuck at 25W max charging..This is a heinous crime in 2021, in the Android world atleast..
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] zaydenQ:
Yeah 2 of my friends sold their Fold 2 and went back to traditional phones.

If I were to buy the S21 Ultra 512GB. It costs 117K. Instant discount/cashback is 10k. So effective price is 107K.

So for 107K I'd be getting the phone + adapter + smart tag and buds+ OR Active 2 for ₹990.

Edit: I just checked the Samsung page and filled the cart. So I am getting S21U + Smart Clear Cover + Smarttag (?) + Watch Active 2 all for a total of 106K = 117K-10K-2K+1K (2K discount for Samsung shop app).

What do you all think about this? This feels like it is worth it to an extent because the Active 2 for 1K is a pretty good deal (better than Buds pro too).
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
I'm also going for the 512gb variant, Phantom Black.

I would be getting the adaptor and buds pro.

Confused btw prebooking on Samsung shop or directly go to the stores. 2k discount only on Samsung Shop.

I have already recieved the customary, you have prebooked Galaxy S21 message.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] zaydenQ:
You should go the stores and check what sort of deals they're offering. I'd be doing the same before taking any decision.

I received this email. Have others received this sort of an email/message or is yours different?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
Its the same email I was referring to.

I'm not committing until early next week, Exynos 2100 is still unknown commodity, ll wait for reviews on heat management, throttling and Battery/SOT.

Gonna get the watch active 2, you can easily get 15k for a sealed package on olx which further reduces the price. Good deal.

117k - 2k - 10k - 15k = 90k for 16GB/512GB
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lycan_codex:
I am getting 103000 for my iPhone 12 pro max. Have pre-booked S21 ultra 512 GB. Will buy it off the HDFC Bank card for the 10k cashback. Feel bad about the lack of SD card as I have a 512 GB card. Strange move from Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
You did prebooking on the Samsung Shop app/website?

512GB is now out of stock :(

Amazon has it listed still, but on the Samsung shop app I get 2k extra discount.

Edit: Prebooked 16/512GB Phantom black on Samsung Shop app, delivery by 5th Feb :(
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lycan_codex:
I did the pre-booking at Samsung priority store in Bangalore. The SMS I got says the same thing. Feb 5th...hopefully we all can get it from Jan 25th itself.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
I have also prebooked at the Opera house, they say 512GB variant will be available by 25th Jan.

Few other Samsung cafes have also taken a booking but they say 512GB wont be available and its only 256, strange.

But none of them agreed for the 2k extra discount which is exclusive to orders placed in Samsung Shop app.

So I placed the order in the app, total amount paid at checkout is 104,999.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nick191:
Hi Everyone,

So I am coming from S8+ to OP 6T and for now I have switched to OP Nord since last one month just to wait for S21 and OP 9 PRO. I am planning for S21 Ultra and I am getting pretty sweet deal but I am confused whether I should wait for OP 9 PRO or not! The confusion is due to that Exynos 2100 chip, finger print scanner and 108 MP camera. Below is the deal I am getting:

10K off with HDFC + 8K off with Old Device + Watch Active (Which I will sell as I have Galaxy Watch) so 15K for that. So in total I can get whole package at effective price of Rs.74,000/-

If I wait till OP 9 PRO launch which will be in month of March I won't get this sort of deal !!!

Please share your valuable inputs on this.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sukrith:
I was waiting for the S21 like hell and wanted to get it on launch day itself but after seeing the live stream I was actually confused myself! But then... I did some soul searching and found out that Samsung phones are actually the ones without any sort of compromise! OnePlus is like you are beta testing their phone... Mi also has some sort of compromise like lack of water resistance etc. That's why my last 2 phones have been Galaxies! So I also pulled the trigger and ended up getting the S21 Ultra and decided no way am I going for any other phone for the next 3 years now because anyway Samsung gives 3 years OS support and I know for a fact the phone will last as well!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sukrith:
Has anyone decided which case to get for your phones? I'm thinking of getting Spigen Ultra Hybrid clear to show off the phone's silver color because I've been using Spigen cases for atleast 8 years and it has protected my phones a lot! But now I would like to know your opinion as to which cases and screen guards you are considering to buy for the devices...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
I have pre-ordered the Samsung black leather and silicone cases, liked the way it goes over the camera bump. Waiting for Ringke and other brands for similar cases.

The phone already being think and heavier than S20 Ultra, I prefer thin cases that adds minimal heft to the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
There was one up for order on Samsung Shop an hour ago, it said delivery starts from 30th Jan and free delivery by 2nd Feb.

My 512GB, though cancelled, has already reached the fulfillment section, so they are unable to cancel the order and asked me not to accept the delivery if I want a refund.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nick191:
What is that promotional offer ?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
Technically the cost of the phone is ~75k if you sell the watch. Amazing deal (y)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] drtushar:
Dont know , but i purchased it on 16th of Jan. The offer was for a couple of days. Not showing now as many of my friends wanted it.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nick191:
Excellent VFM offer!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nick191:
Ohk, you got a very good deal
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] VRaju:
My deal from the dealer was,

10K hdfc card+4K dealer discount+15K for watch+ travel adapter+ 2210 club point( ull also get 500+500 service coupon if ur club blue star member).

Overall the effective price will come to 73,879 (travel adapter not included). This was a good pre book price for s21 ultra.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nick191:
I called them and they are totally clueless!!! He just told me you have to activate with your primary sim and you will get the offer within 72 hours!!! Now I need to decide when shall I activate it!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] VRaju:
Apart from above. there is still useless 20K advantage hahahahah. For which we have to pour in more money.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
4k store discount is the difference. 2k + 1k club and service points cannot be redeemed on the phone price.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
20k discount is only on Samsung Shop orders, I applied one time 2k discount on my order.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sagarb:
happened me once. They will take their sweet time :( until u have to remind daily .ill suggest you to keep your first conversation ticket number and every time refer to that otherwise you ill lose patience when they ask story from the start always lol.

mine canceled on 28-oct refunded 15-nov
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] VRaju:
Yes correct. 2K iam using to purchase wireless power bank. service point ofcource can be used for any service for friends or galaxy device if i need(its valid for 1 year)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dhanabalan19:
Guys, Grabbed the phone on 25th itself;). Screen,battery,camera, FP sensor, ergonomics, SW optimisation are really great.

Addicted to Macro shots.

Planning to redeem the coupon for galaxy buds pro. Share your opinion, pls.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
I prebooked it on 9 month no cost emi, I have already paid the first month emi (inclusive of non refundable interest)...so at this rate I might even have to pay the second month EMI if I decide to refuse the delivery.

I have called them multiple times since morning, warning them that I'm already at loss paying interest, despite all these, If they really ship my order, I will keep the 512 and sell the 256 which I have now to make up for the loss :p
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sagarb:
I have wireless power bank of Samsung its crap. wireless is 9watt only rest of the features you can get on any 1k power bank if you not buying for wireless feature than normal power bank is way better. Some times wireless not at all work.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kiran-Kumar:
Yeah its a well polished phone.

IMO you can get the watch sell it for a good amount and get a Sony or a Sennheiser earbud which has superior audio quality.
