Use their live chat. Just make sure to say you're from Éire cos most of the help seems GB specific.

masterboy123

I did use it, and they couldn't help me as they based in UK. Gave me the landline number which no one is answering.

The return bag only came today!! An Post weren't able to scan the code on it but they sent it off anyway saying worst case scenario it'll just get sent back to me.

I'm not too worried anyway as they were sound enough to give a handwritten certificate of posting.

Anyone else experience this?

Got an email from them now to say the trade in was accepted. Took them nearly a month! Must have received a lot of preorders in Éire

Never got an email to say my trade in was accepted but trade in money was paid into account today.

I think there was some mistake made with my order ,I was charged full price and then received trade in money back to account.

masterboy123

How many weeks did it take?

anyone buy the super fast charger ?

Cina

Had anyone upgraded from the S10 and has it been worth it?

quartz1

I bought a 3 Amp Samsung type c to type c charger on Amazon .Works very well and charges super fast. . It's very convenient to plug the phone in during the day and have it back to 100 per cent in a few minutes.. It's not very faster than a 2 amp but still noticable.

masterboy123

I am looking for fast charger.

Could you please share the link? See some fakes on amazon.

Thank you

Got an email this morning to say trade in accepted and all is now complete.
Probably about 5/6weeks since I posted the phone to them.

Dropped my phone last night have a good mous cover on it so it's not damaged BUT the factory installed screen protector now has 2 little bubbles that's I can get out for the life of me. Awesome. I don't want to take it off altogether but the bubbles are wrecking my head

Needle or something sharp to pop them, then flatten it a bit. I think there are examples on youtube on how to do this effectively.

I'd just replace it, usually get those screen protectors for a few quid online.

I always peel off the factory screen protectors anyways and don't bother with them .

I never usually bother with normal ones either but my last two phones came with them factory installed (so much so you wouldn't know there's one on them). I'm hesitant to take it off and no doubt i'll drop again and this time it'll crack ha but these bubbles may get the better of me.

The exynos snapdragon divide has narrowed considerably, so much so that its not an issue i believe this generation.
Size wise i would go fo the 256 over the 128 storage, as it was only an extra 50 i believe? Most would have gone for that due in part to the removal of he microsd slot.
If you go for the 512 it does have more ram, but i would think that would prove harder to find.

I got this super fast charger today. It shows 1 hour 11 min to charge fully from 3% for my S21 plus.

[General question to all]

After using this phone for a few weeks since its release, would you recommend it? What are its pros and cons in your view?

quartz1

Had my Buds Pro and Samsung tag delivered today .

I like the phone . Best pro from me is the Battery . It's lasts longer and charges much faster with a superfast charger. No major con but it's not hugely different from the 10 plus to me except the camera is obviously better.

Can anyone recommend a screen protector or does the pre installed on suffice. Thanks in advance

My pre-installed one already had a tiny tear in it so took it off, it is a very thin flimsy protector, I personally didn't replace with another screen protector but I do use a heavy duty case

I bought this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08PYRXVBW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and installed it the other day, quite happy with it so far,
The installation is easy, comes with a little mounting tool to help.
I use it with this clear case https://www.zagg.com/en_eu/crystal-palace-galaxy-s21-ultra-5g

ugly as sin alright, but i can think of one use, if it was a bit smaller.
In car charging? Especially for shared vehicles with company phones?
Saying that, easier to just wipe your phone regularly, but could be handy.
Kinda looks like a fleshlight...just saying...

Are there any Wireless super fast charging pads available ?

Thinking of getting a super fast charging plug, might as well get the best available for my phone

bogman

Im using my Macbook pro charger, charges my Ultra up in just over an hour, ill give the exact time it will take in a while as am charging it as I type.

1hr...72% charged.

Inquitus

The super high speed charging does the battery in, imho you are better off with an old skool normal fast charger, it still charges fast and fecks your battery much less.

bogman

Just under 1 3/4 hrs with the Macbook charger

feargantae

For anyone considering any of the S21 series the current offer is a €170 prepaid Mastercard. Same ts&cs as the other promotions the rest of us availed of and majority of retailers in Éire are eligible be it with PAYG/Billpay or outright.

Pretty sweet deal

youcancallmeal

Can anyone tell me does the S21 Ultra come with a pre-installed screen protector? I'm finding conflicting info online. My Note 10+ came with one and it's been great. I'm not into the whole spending 50+ euro on premium glass protectors
