I've brought a brand-new S21 Ultra, 512 GB version with 16 GB of RAM for 450 USD. Still had foils on it, back and sides.
Needed 512 because no SD slot. And with Shanling UA3 I can use 3.5mm headphones.
My question is this: can I apply another screen protector (a high-quality privacy screen protector that darkens the screen on the sides, it's a foil/film type, not glass) while the factory-bundled screen protector is still applied? Or do I have to take off the bundled screen protector beforehand?

2nd option i did was i installed the camera assistant. I turned on the 'prioritize focus over speed'. Now, there's no blurred shots anymore :)

Sometimes, the photos took on the main cam is blurred. Even at daylight. At last, I know what to do. I put a cover/sticker on the laser part. And viola! The photos are always on focus and with much better sharpness.

OneUI 6.1 will bring advanced battery protection features to S21U. It's still installed in 6.0, only it's hidden. The feature was included with Android 14.
Here's how to activate it: https://techtrickz.com/mobile/enable-samsung-one-ui-6-1-battery-protection-on-galaxy-phone/
Basically, install Activity Launcher from Play Store, search for battery pro, tap Device Care, and the only activity will be Battery protection. Tap it to open it. Then you can enable and choose options, including Adaptive, which keeps the battery at 80% until you wake up. You can even make a shortcut for it on the home screen.

Geometry dash 2.2 , 28 Mar 2024Does it support android 15?Android 15 will be the last update for this phone since it was launched with Android 11 & according to the 4 years of update policy 15 would be the last with one additional year of security update.

Jeeei, 22 Mar 2024Why? Is it bad? Probably because this phone is a few years old at this point. But in my opinion the S21U is still a good buy.

I have 5 s21 ultras. 1 has dead pixels and green lines, 1 has green and purple line only but she stopped using it and she switched to new oppo fold phone. 2 are normal phones in perfect condition (1 fresh phone and 1 office phone) and my main s21 ultra with 600+ games has only camera glass cracked.

Hi dears,
Unfortunately today I got to the Samsung service center. Yesterday evening I found my s21 ultra back panel slightly opened and the gum spreading to outside. It got me panic. When I reach the Samsung service center their dealings came decent. They said this happens very rarely may be the conditions the phone going through[very hot climate or something else]. But to my memory there's nothing conditions like that and I care this phone very much. I bought this phone on December 2022 but manufacturing date march 2021 that means almost 3 year old phone. So I understand this type issues may happen.
Service cost and overall cost- 5$(423/- indian rupees)

Here are the informations or future of S21 Ultra:
1,Last OS Upgrade is Android 15/OneUI 7
2,Last Security patch will be in 2026 any of the quarter
3,S21 Ultra will support One UI6.1 AI feature
If you have any plans to buy S21 Ultra My suggestion:
1,Look for S23Ultra instead [Android 17 will be the last ,security patch 2028*]
2,better performer [Battery,processor]
3,Better camera
*S21 ultra will discharge battery easily. In my situation 100to90 discharge quickly 90to50 take some time but still discharge speedy.
*while with 5g/Camera usage this smartphone heateup like hotcakes
*I'm not that guy believes in battery saving tips! I bought S21 Ultra for it's QHD display, 120hz refresh rate and so on.. for saving battery I never turned off this feature. If battery discharges I adjusted with charger or powerbank but I never compromised its most important features.
