That’s a good point, I didn’t think of it like that. I take it that the s-pen doesn’t need to be charged?
I do like the look of the Black Ultra, it looks very very black (if that makes sense) ?
Got a tip for us?

By far the best looking device I've ever owned.
If I like the curve on the Note 20 Ultra, would you say I would like the curve on the S21 Ultra?
Day 2 and still experiencing some PWM effects unfortunately on my Ultra. I'm at really low light now so it's probably not helping. I tried Googling and found one site which claims to have measured the PWM on the Ultra and it's off the charts at low brightness levels. Not sure if the site is legit but it seems to line up with my issues.

As I said earlier, I'll keep using the phone a few more days (if I can handle it).

It's not that bad actually. I have the official silicone case and the silicone case with he Spen. The Spen case feels exactly the same other than about an extra half inch on the left side. It's definitely noticeable and makes it feel more boxy. Almost like the size of the 12 Pro Max in my opinion.
That the only reason I bought it. I don't plan on using it day to day. I'll probably slap it on when I travel for work.
Feel bad for the ones suffering from pmw issues, really limits which phones you can use. Pics of my phone. This phone is faster and smother than my s10 plus. I put a film screen film on display and glass screen protector on cam lense.
First one is without clear case, but has screen protector on camera. Second has Samsung clear case.

Doesn’t look like it’s Bluetooth so won’t need to be charged. Could be wrong though
That's correct. There will be an S-Pen Pro released later this year that will have more controls. I'm sure I'll get it lol.
I really only use my pen at work so I'm going to look for a standard style pen to put in my shirt pocket.
This one isn’t Bluetooth and doesn’t need to be charged. Samsung said there’s a Bluetooth one coming later on this year.
Dam that silver looks good (it kind of reminds me of the aura glow colour of the Note 10).
You're the first one to complain of poor battery life between the forums I've read and the reviews I've watched. So that tells me either you have a lemon, rogue app, or user error.
Not me mate, the Aussies got their phones about 5 days ago, feedback hasn't been that great about the battery, maybe the phone needs a week to finish indexing.
Nah, sworn off android after a bad recent experience, looks like a nice phone though, expecting more from a 5000 mAh battery, enjoy your phone guys.
Don't acknowledge trolls people, just put on ignore list.
You're hearing complaining of bad battery and you dont even have the phone?
Oh FFS. Get out.
P.S. Pool are garbage. Tell Klopp to quit blaming everyone else every time they drop points.
Exactly....if you ignore the troll he will go away. Just report him to the mods! He just admitted he doesn't like Android phones. Has no intention of getting one. So he is just here to troll.
In addition to thumbs up and sad and heart responses we need an eye roll emoticon to rate posts like this. Dude...really?
Aww man that is bad news. Even for people who aren’t sensitive, I saw an article that someone posted to the iPhone section that says this stuff is bad for our eyes and can permanently degrade our vision. But the article didn’t cite any specific studies and was posted by one of the monitor companies, so...there’s a caveat to that.Day 2 and still experiencing some PWM effects unfortunately on my Ultra.

My husband has been busy setting his phone up so I haven’t gotten to evaluate the pwm effect on my vision and sensitivity. I did think my s20 display was easier to focus on. I don’t know if this is something Samsung can and would adjust if enough people complain.
Unfortunately the cancel option disappeared for my order yesterday. So even if I evaluate my husband’s phone and have problems I can’t cancel before my order gets here. Every year, they treat these orders differently. Last two years they wouldn’t ship my order out until they would receive and process his trade in.
So I’m caught without the evaluation cushion time I thought I’d get by delaying my order-with-trade-in after his.
My 12 Pro Max isn’t exactly a treat to people with pwm sensitivity and some other forum members can’t own it at all. I manage and even have read e-books on it. Every year that I get away from the hormonal sh** show that was menopause, the easier this sort of thing becomes to tolerate regarding triggering my atypical migraines.
However, I still can not speak normally. I’ve had enough of those migraines that I’ve apparently got permanent damage to the speech center of my brain. I have clear, concise thoughts in my head, but I can’t convey them in speech. Instead, I have simplistic speech patterns like Trump did. The in-depth, nuanced conversations I have on this forum, I’m simply not capable of in person with friends and family. Fortunately they’re all too busy to notice! We all sort of grunt at each other in passing as we frantically try to finish our respective work.
And what’s worse, I’m noticing more and more people with the same messed up speech. These are younger people that can’t finish a sentence. My husband is getting this way, too. My friends are. My kids stuck looking at screens all day for remote learning have headaches and vertigo. At least now I don’t have to be self conscious but this isn’t something I’d wish on anyone else, ever.
If our tech is scrambling our brains this way and there is no solid research or regulation, we could see another generation damaged by tech addiction the way previous generations innocently and unknowingly had their lives shortened and their health damaged by smoking and their nicotine addiction.
I’m sorry you’re suffering this way. What phones do you have that don’t bother you?
