Just got the June security patch with further camera improvements! 
Good call didn't look to check in fairness. Dunno if it's suppose to let you know about the updates or not but didn't get a notificationJust got the June security patch with further camera improvements!
Mine is set on automatic downloads. Thus the phone downloads the latest updates as soon as they are available and then the phone asks for confirmation to begin installation.
Interested to see how Samsung handles this and how long it takes for you to get a replacement.
Apparently it's rare but a quick search shows it's not a one off issue. As long as Samsung replace it under warranty and don't send me some damaged refurb, I'll deal with the minor inconvenience.
In the mean time it gave me a chance to run the Android 12 beta on the Pixel 4a 5G I bought until the s21 is back. I have to say, I'm not sold on the new UI. Everything is too big. It seems built for small screens in an age of massive screens.
There's a deal going on for S21 series owners. You can get 3-4 month free subscriptions to youtube premium,Google play pass, deezer and other services. It's called samsung boost.
I signed up for the Google play pass and got 600 Google play points.

Unfortunately you can't get the youtube premium offer if you've already had a free trial before.
I wanted to alert the thread about this 2 days ago but just shied away thinking that again I would be dismissed as sharing “desperate Samsung gimmicks”.
Thanks for putting it out there for those who could be interested.
I thought there were some good offers here so I just wanted to share.
I set up my Samsung curve card last night and the physical card is coming in the post. Now I can use my Halifax card with samsung pay. It also set up automatically. However with Apple pay and Google pay I have to call up and get it set up. You can wait for 30 minutes for someone to pick up the phone.

The Samsung Pay+ (Curve) is very useful especially if you have a Samsung Watch! Enjoy!
A new FCC filing confirms the Galaxy Fold3 will support Samsung's S Pen Pro
The next-gen foldable continues to leak
When you hold home screen to get the widgets option it's in there under the Google widgets.
Its called "At a Glance".
Is anyone getting false touches on the curved screen of the ultra? It’s odd that the regular S21 is flat but ultra is curved
The curved screen is more expensive to make and look more premium on display in stores.
Of course in reality, usability is an issue with curved screens, and the flat display of there egular S21 actually is much better.
There is barely a curve, however, I use a case so it's not an issue for me either way.
No false touch issues at all.

Just picked up an active 2 to use. Then I can decide if I want to upgrade to the new wear watches when they come out.
