I will never buy an android phone ever again. I really can’t stand the os but I will say these latest galaxies definitely make me wish there was more than two ecosystems of smartphone os. iOS is still the best for me as a packaged deal it works better but these specs and those cameras are amazing. It’s unfortunate it just uses that os
Tough deciding on color since there aren't many clear pictures of the remaining color options. These are about the only decent ones found. Personally, blue > brown or titanium > black or oyster. Might change when seen in person.

I originally ordered the brown but delivery was going to be Feb !6 so I canceled and ordered the black instead for delivery on the Jan 27th....
If you're in a position to never move to iOS, the good news is that it seems like Apple is feeling the pressure to catch up to Android in the feature department more than ever lately.
yeah both IOS and Android are really getting closer and closer to each-other in feature sets. I think that is a good move from both platforms and really good for consumers.
Rumor has it iPhone 13 will have Always On Display (AOD). I can't wait
I made the mistake of going to Best Buy today and playing with the S21 Ultra.... sleekest/ coolest back of a phone I've ever touched. I'm in... take my money samsung!
Man, Samsung Indonesia truly sucks this time.
1. They still don't have the regular S21 even available for pre-order, only the + and Ultra.
2. We only get 3 colors for the + (no gold nor red), and only 2 colors for the ultra (only black and silver).
This is BS.
Samsung had no problem bringing all the colors with the FE (albeit with certain colors being exclusive to certain e-commerce), so this lack of color options is intentional.

I’ve ordered black and blue so I can decide. I love the checkered camera cover on the exclusive model. I would really like to see some reviews with the new colours. I suspect the titanium also will be stunningly beautiful.Tough deciding on color since there aren't many clear pictures of the remaining color options. These are about the only decent ones found.

The problem with my iPhone 12 Pro Max is We Will be looking at the same design for the iPhone 13 and 14.
I went for the Black, but I would have 100% gone brown if t-mobile offered it.Tough deciding on color since there aren't many clear pictures of the remaining color options.

After holding the black Ultra today I don't think anyone will be disappointed in the least when they get it in hand. It's stunning!
The actual moment I was hooked! I hesitate to even post this because it truly doesn’t do it justice.
Black is fine too if camera housing was a different color otherwise for me it's too much black. My Surface Pro X is black but don't want black keyboard but rather contrasting platinum or even red.
I didn’t know Best Buy has them on display already. I’m going to check it out. I preordered the silver.
The silver reminds me of a matte version of the Note 10 mirror color where it almost looks like the back of a cd. It changes colors significantly based on the angle and lighting.
It better be a update to 11 pro max or else.... dammit so AOD isn't just a software update it's a different screen technology? Someone help me outyeah both IOS and Android are really getting closer and closer to each-other in feature sets. I think that is a good move from both platforms and really good for consumers.

It should be a software update. It's a feature that can be used on Oled displays. Samsung phones have had an always on display since the S7 series. The s view cases were like are prelude to the always on display.
It SHOULD be a software update, but we all know it won't be.
If it ends up being a software update wouldn't it kill the battery on the current OLED phones, because they won't have the newer OLED that can refresh way down like the Apple Watch and S21 series? An AOD always stuck at 60hz I'd think wouldn't be (as) good for battery life?
Would y'all guys/gals say that all of these newer phones(android and iphone)the past couple years are a significant upgrade over the Pixel 3? I use the 3 XL and happy with it but the camera is my thing and battery life. I would get a newer phone, even a generation old if the camera is a step up
I believe Apple is big on battery life... Android can't really compete with iOS on battery life. Apple wants those Variable Refresh Rate displays before they add AOD to their iPhones. By then, they'll have 120hz as well.
