Yeah it must be good well I would hope. event tomorrow and S21 launch on 14th.
I could see more using the exynos ships in their phones. SD888 is rumoured to be having some issues according to ice.
I would take that with a grain of salt. Im not saying hes wrong, but theres rumors of issues with every new snapdragon chipset and they always seemed to get ironed out around the first major phone release or right after release. From what I've read the 888 is having issues maintaining frames but nobody that Ive read is elaborating on when that happens.
Looks like a fold lol
To be honest, I dont hate that. My question is, how does the Spen charge? Will it have a special charger or does it wirelessly charge through the side of the Ultra?
Good point you would think it would charge through the phone like the Apple Pencil does on the iPad? be interesting how that works. guessing it has to got to be able to charge through the case.
Yeah not sure how it would work. Theres already charging coils in the back for standard wireless charging. Not sure how they would fit more coils in the side of the phone. Im betting it has some external charging.
S21 ultra with silicone case with S pen
I mean, it looks fine. I just think its going to make the phone feel huge with the extra width. Interesting to see how much the Case+Spen combo costs.
Guessing S pen might be free with pre order. Heard £49 to buy
S pen will certainly be bigger than all the previous notes
Yeah massive
Battery life wasn’t good enough on my note ultra exynos 90 so if it’s better then my fold 2 added bonus
I remember some ipads use to have (or still) AMD based processors just like Exynos 2100 and their battery life was excellent.
Maybe, but I think the pre-order bonuses already leaked. For the Ultra its a free pair of the new Galaxy Buds Pro and one of the new Samsung Tags.
The question is, is that a forced pre-order bonus or is it a pre-order credit that is the equivalent of that amount like it has been in the past? I dont really need headphone but I wouldnt mind picking up a Galaxy Watch or Active 2.
I am happy with my battery life on my Note10+ but sometimes it lags but not much.
Be interesting what they do offer. You’re right it’s likely will get buds pro as at £200 retail price would be nuts to pass that up for a £49 pen
I'm curious.. you planning on trading in the Fold2 for the S21 Ultra?
Good question I’m certainly considering it from a cost point of view. The rumours for fold 3 are a bit underwhelming. I had hoped we would see the fold 3 to have the best cameras samsung had to offer but that doesn’t appear to be the case
Have to see how the event goes in terms of selling me on it. Maybe worth waiting to see more fold 3 rumours which I guess will be more likely when the s21 ultra is out
I think the fold 2 is great but the price is high certainly given it doesn’t have all the best specs Samsung has to offer. Will see though.
Exynos 2100 has me excited got to admit and I’m interested to see if they improved 100x zoom lol...10x optical should be impressive
You staying with your fold?
Yeah, the Fold line will always be behind in the camera specs department. Samsung has to try to juggle what features to keep or remove based off the form factor of the Fold. Although, I would love to have the camera perks of S21 Ultra... I’m staying put with the Fold. It’s the screen real estate that keeps me on it.
But, from your perspective... you have the 12PM, isn’t the camera top notch? I doubt the S21 Ultra will be much of leap. However, the only thing I see that would be amazing is... the camera software tweaks that Samsung will add to S21 Ultra based off the new chip set.
Yeah 12 pro max camera is really great so no issues there. iPhone will be my daily driver no matter what now but still like using android.
I’m a big fan of the periscope technology but I get why it might be difficult for them to add that to the fold line due to space and over weight i imagine and adding that will surely add to the cost
Fold is certainly king for media for something that size though.
