[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] s3axel:
I presently own both the S21U (Exynos) and the Mi11U.

For me it's a close call between both devices with each one having strengths and weaknesses.

Camera : more capabilities in the Tele department on the S21U, also more consistent results and IMO the better "point&shoot". The Mi11U has significantly lower noise and the 5x is pretty good, but the main sensor has a much shallower depth-of-field making getting the correct focus difficult at times. On the other hand Samsung processing tends to oversharpen and kill fine details at times, but this has become much less pronounced with latest updates. All in all both are capable of getting really excellent images where it's difficult for me to name a winner.

Haptics: both are very solid devices (and heavy ones, too). The Mi11U is slightly more unbalanced due to the heavy top module, making it a bit more awkward when held for long time. FP reader is better on S21U (never thought I'd say that about a Samsung), the Mi11U is good but I've seen better and more reliable ones on other phones (e.g. OP 8Pro).

Displays: excellent on both, no big difference to my eye.

Performance: the Exynos is (for my taste) pretty close to the SD888, only slightly behind specifically with Graphics intense games. Overall excellent fluidity of the UI on both, a first time for a Samsung phone for my taste.

UI: clearly more customizability on MIUI, also better privacy options - for my taste. But this whole department is really very subjective....

Battery: for my light to medium usage pretty comparable on both, Standby is excellent on both. The faster charging on the Mi11U is very convenient and the only point where for me the S21U is really lacking (I use wireless charging exclusively BTW). When used heavily the Mi11U tends to drain a bit faster and get significantly warmer.

Just my 2 cents and sorry the lengthy text :),

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] flashkobalt:
I'm trying to decide between these two. Samsung slightly ahead for local warranty + parts/servicing etc. Is the mi11u good enough to risk a grey import for, or would you pick the s21u? My priorities are camera and battery life.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
I would probably keep the s21 ultra since the investment is already made

There is not much measurable improvements in the mi 11 ultra you will notice and the regular mi 11 would be a step down in almost every aspect except maybe charging speed which is partially negated by having a smaller battery size and worse cooling
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] s3axel:
Sorry, I can't decide that for you ;) All I can say is that I'm pretty torn between both and have a difficult time to decide which one has to go. And BTW I got the CN version of the Mi11U with 512GB :)

For me it boils down to better balance/feel in hand on the S21U plus versatility in the Zoom-cameras and the more consistent image results vs faster charging, less noise and the (for me) nicer UI on the Mi11U.

Another point is that the MI11U fully supports GCam and I think has in general a bit more room for improvement as its newer, the S21U only supports GCam for the UW/Wide lenses presently and it has already made big leaps ahead in the recent updates - no idea how much room is left for further improvements but I'd think the majority of what could be achieved has been done.

And some additional points I didn't mention so far:

Internal speakers on the Mi11U are better, have more "oopmh", on the other hand the earpiece during calls is a bit better on the S21U (louder and better clarity)....

USB-Speed is much faster on the S21U (USB3 vs USB2) - like 300 MBps vs 40Mbps

In general WIFI speed seems to be faster on the Mi11U as is radio reception - but don't expect huge differences
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
They really dropped the ball using usb2 on this phone , especially the 512gb version

Whatever they saved was likely pennies
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedstream:
i haven't held a sammy since the s8, i do not like the UI and while miui took some getting used to after my mate 20 pro i have come around and it's pretty slick. i'm not sure if it's android 11 or miui, but the app permissions thing is kinda killing me. the pics and video on the m11 ultra are pretty awesome, i've gotten compliments from iphone 12maxpro users...wow how do you take so much better pictures...lol
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Psimel14:
But s21 have a lot of Updates about camera. Its 1y phone almost.

Mi11u with time will be better after few Updates.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] kaczyrezym:
i would not touch anything samsung with a stick after what they did to smartthings, they cant even make vaccum properly.

unfortunately after reading this thread i compared prices s21u.

why s21u is so much cheaper while having more ram?

is it exynos really that bad?

over $200 bad?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
The Chinese Price is the only one I would pay for a xiaomi and that's the 12/512
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] jim262:
I haven't used the Mi 11, but I have used the S21 Ultra and the Mi 11 Ultra is easily on par with the S21 Ultra.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
That's regional.....
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] jim262:
Giztop lists the current price for the Mi 11 Ultra 8/256 at $899 and the 12/256 at $999. The 12/512 version of the Mi 11 Ultra goes for $1099. Samsung lists the S21 Ultra at $1249.99 for 12/128. The S21 Ultra doesn't sound cheaper to me.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
Check the China mi11u with 12/512 vs the 512gb s21u

Huge price difference when you want half a terrabyte of storage

And we get a 67w charger free, they have the option to buy a 25w charger separately!

Also most countries can only get the exynos which doesn't give the same value or working gcam
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] jim262:
I personally don't care about sub par, glitcy gcam, but I do care about SAVINGS!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] speedtripler:
SD over Exynos

Regardless of price!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] jim262:
True, but that's regional. Doesn't apply to me. No Exynos here.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] flipp0:
Had Mi 11 a couple of months ago. Got a Mi 11 Ultra yesterday. The screen, performance and haptics feels exactly like Mi 11 but the Ultra is much heavier and less comfortable in the hand. The camera setup is of course better. If the camera is not important I would go for Mi 11 which feels great in the hand thanks to the low weight.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] xNAPx:
Well if you want to see the differences between the two devices there is the spec sheet for that. For sure in terms of speed they both have the same CPU and GPU so they don't differ much. The Ultra is ultra mostly for the camera compartment
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] flipp0:
I tried to be helpful. The OP asked for differences between Mi 11 and Mi 11 Ultra and I gave my thoughts after having used both devices. It is quite obvious that the SOC and screens are the same, however the vibration motor/haptics is not listed is the spec sheet., nor is the in-hand feel. I do not see the added value of your rant.

Regarding the main camera sensor of Ultra I was hoping that it would produce more detailed stills. What I really liked with Mi 11 was the level of detail the 108MP main sensor produced. Especially with gcam.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rollei:
Newbie question: The apps from Google Play store, do they work on both Android phone and Wear OS watch? Or are there two versions of the same app: one for Android and one for Wear OS? So if the app does not show up on Wear OS, it means that app does not have a Wear OS version?
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Microsoft:
I am newbie like you :)

I think often there are two versions for the watch and the phone
[Oculus Quest] XDARoni:
After getting my Oculus Quest 2, one of the most obvious drawbacks was the battery life. If I wanted to play longer in between charge times, I needed to find a good solution. One thing you can do is plug your headset into the wall with a long cord, while you play. This works, but it restricts your movement and can come unplugged very easily. So here is the solution I came up with.

I started using a portable USB C charger to power my headset when it gets low. The charger can sit in my pocket while I continue to play. The first charger that I used only slowed the discharge time. It wasn't charging my headset while I was playing. This is because most portable chargers use a 5W output. The Oculus Quest 2 can take a 15W charge. So I upgraded to the RavPower 18W Power Bank. This product has enough power output to charge my headset while I keep playing.

View attachment 5312219

I thought I'd share this info here, so other people can know what type of portable charger they need to get. Here is a link to the exact charger that I am using now. I can get two full charges out of this power bank, while gaming. This will extend the battery life of my Oculus Quest 2, to basically last all day. The charger has two ports [1x USB-A, 1x USB-C]. I use it with the same charging cable that the headset came with, which is the right length to fit into my pocket without being too long.

I'm sure other brands will work just as well. Just make sure that your power output is over 15W and it's small/light enough to fit into your pocket.
[Touch CDMA Accessories] TheChampJT:
I'm really not sure how many people watch this part of the forum, but for those who do, have you ever tried this headset?

Looks nice, but for $110+, I'd like some reassurance, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
Why dont we all gather , and file a complaint against samsung for intentionally clocking down and throttling the exynos 2100 against the sd888 even when exynos 2100 this year is capable , comparable to sd888 and moreover both are manufactured by samsung?

Samsung is again giving us an inferior experience in other markets vs US while charging similar / More

Lets complaint on twitter by tagging @samsungexynos and also on samsung members app ,

If you have any other alternative please comment down.

These 2 videos are the proof .
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
I disagree.

It'll be another 1-2 years before the Exynos can catch up to the SnapDragon.

The SD888 is more or less, IMO, comparable to the A14. It took a while for Qualcomm to catch-up.

In another 2 years, I expect the Exynos, SnapDragon, and A series to be more or less comparable.

Then, the game will heat-up in the laptop/mini-PC/server space.

You'll have to wait.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Khalid Madkour:
I can say that all those speed tests are meaningless.

I have Exynos and I am satisfied with everything so far.

Yes this year Exynos is not the same as SD888 but it is not behind by much compared to last year competition between exynos and sd and next year will be a gamechanger for Exynos since it is getting AMD gpu and improvements.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
We all knew even before we bought the phone which processor it came with, in which country. Samsung did not say they were selling the SD888 in my country and then hand me an Exynos.

Also, nobody put a gun to my head and asked me to buy the phone. It's an open market and there are a hundred options available.

Exynos performance is not some breaking news that we just found out. We have seen Exynos processors for years on other phones, including last year's S20 series and know perfectly well what they are capable of and what the limitations are.

Despite all the above, if you still went ahead and bought the phone, it's on you. You knew perfectly well what you were buying. OnePlus 9 Pro was also available with the SD888 globally. You don't buy a phone only for it's processor. There is a lot more that goes into making a phone.

Personally I think the S21U (I have the Exynos) is the best phone I've ever used. Spent a week researching it before i bought it, used it in the showroom multiple times before dropping this kind of money and despite all the YouTube comparisons, decided I liked it more than the other available options and bought it. And I don't regret it.

Monopoly is bad in any industry and I'm glad there is another manufacturer challenging the dangerous dominance of Qualcomm in the Android arena. Exynos 2100 may not yet overcome the SD888 in terms of raw power, but it has narrowed the gap more than it has ever been. And it runs much cooler than the SD version, plus has significantly lower standby battery drain.

I'm not a Samsung fanboy, I dropped them and shifted to the iPhone and OnePlus after the Note 3 when their software was getting crappier with every update. Returned back only after I was convinced that OnePlus was on a downfall and Samsung software had improved over the years, and also that the E2100 was worth my money.

If you think Samsung is selling a "bad" processor in your country, speak with your wallet and don't buy it. Simple.

There's no point getting angry and ranting after buying the phone, knowing very well what you were getting.

Why do you think Samsung or any other company will change anything if you keep giving it money despite disagreeing with its policies?

Rants don't change a company's practices, the balance sheet does. For the next few years, don't buy Exynos. If enough people agree with you and do the same, and make a big enough dent on Samsung's profits, maybe they'll listen.

Otherwise all this petitioning business has been done countless times before and is a meaningless waste of time.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Limeybastard:
The exynos story is over exaggerated. I owned albeit previous gen tech a note 20 ultra in both exynos and snapdragon. They were both fine battery life and temp wise. Alas I didn’t game though.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Notefan161:
Never judged much on speed tests on the internet. Real world usage is far more important
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
Well you might be correct at what u are saying .

My point is , this time exynos and sd888 are both manufactured by samsung using the same process and same cores.

Its just the calibration of cpu thats not unlocking the real power of exynos 2100.

All the tests show that exynos is continuesly throttling its cpu.

The large performance core which is supposed to be clocked at 3 ghz is always throttled to below 2.2 ghz even when the phone is cold.

Where as on sd888 the large performance core remains fully clocked at 2.9 ghz even after heating
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lywyn:
I read a lot about the Exynos issues with the previous Samsung devices and was well aware of the possible difference between two versions of the S21 Ultra based on SD vs Exynos but in the end I got the phone anyway knowing I would get the Exynos version. So why is that Samsungs fault?

Also, I notice more heating issues are related to the SD version so maybe that is because SD is less careful and more aggressive about being the fastest. I have no heating issues and I can do everything the SD version can and as fast as I could possibly want. I do not see any performance issues using the device.

You had a choice to get the phone or get something else. It gets tiresome seeing posts "I bought this phone and I don't like X,Y and Z about it", nobody forced you to buy it.

And Youtube is not the source of scientific studies into processor performance you think it is, there are videos that show the Exynos is faster which invalidates the basis of your claim.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] n-j-f:
What I would prefer to rant about is that you cannot get a dual SIM S21 series in the US unless you import one from Europe etc (Exynos) or from Taiwan/Hong Kong (Snapdragon). I had to buy my Ultra from Amazon Germany and I love it so far. It also has a working eSIM which I have already used when travelling to avoid having to get a local SIM. That also meant I lost out on all the Samsung discounts on part exchange in the US.

And, of course, there is no international warranty with my phone.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] Claghorn:
I've had my new S21 for a few hours now, and I keep finding more and more strips of the protective plastic that needs to be peeled off :-). Does anyone make a special light which make this plastic fluoresce? Could be a great new product!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] wpscully:
LOL, I agree.

If I recall correctly, think I found the two big obvious sheets covering the back plastic and the screen glass. Another smaller sheet covering the camera bump and lenses. Then two (three?) very skinny separate strips wrap the circumference of the phone (the metal frame). One starts just to the right of the bottom speaker grill and runs up to the power/volume buttons. Another strip from but button around the top of the phone. And a third strip from the left of the SIM card and up the left-hand side frame. The strips along the circumference are hard to see or feel, and you need to find the start/end of the strip in order to begin peeling it off. I used my fingernail to find each end-point, then picked at the end until it came free enough so I could grab and pull up the entire strip.

I hope I found them all as I've put the phone into a Samsung leather case, which fits so snugly I can barely get it back out.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] blackhawk:
Leave it be and case it.

Without a case it only a matter of time until it self destructs.

As the protective film works its way loose remove so grit that gets trap under it doesn't mar the phone's finish. Otherwise it helps to protect from case marring.

Leave the display factory protector on as long as possible until it degrades.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RareZ:
Do the following to remove any data connections, other than wifi

Do the following..

Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Select Networks >

(CHOOSE YOUR CONNECTION FROM THE DROP DOWN LIST).

Choose the one you want. Example MEdia Net

(After Selecting)> Edit > Click and hold on the item next to radio button (example MEdia Net).. when the popup screen (similar to windows right click) comes up click on delete. Then do the following. >> General Tab > Click the button "Delete Settings".

Repeat the steps for other items listed on the drop down list...

NOTE - You cannot delete settings for My ISP & Work Network. Which is fine.

Hope that helps.

P.S - If you ever need the settings back again.. run the Connection Setup Wizard again

I used to have a regular poo poo samsung phone with that irritating buttonmin the middle to connect. Every time I accidentally pressed it, it would try to connect, and I would cancel immediately. Much to my dismay, I still received connection charges just for trying to connect. Fed up, I called ATT, told them my situation, and requested the ability for my ACCOUNT to use internet be blocked--since I didn't appreciate 6-10 bucks in connection charges (sinceI didn't have a plan). They removed it (not just from my phone no., but from all phones on my account) , and anytime I pressed the button, the connection failed. Upgraded over to a tilt, with the same sim card, any media NET connection fails, since any connection is disabled. Ofcourse, removing the bloatware really helps.
