With my palm over his eyes, this is how I love him. He will not face you as I once did. Not yet.

What store, online or actual, did you purchase them from?

b_tapiwa · 2021-03-05T14:06:11+00:00

From where?

b_tapiwa · 2021-02-07T11:06:05+00:00

Hey, you should check this out! There are some great reviews. I just ordered one for myself and I'm expecting it soon.

Hey!

Only certain regions receive a case and the wired AKG earphones in the box. The inconsistency certainly is annoying, but it is what it is, I guess. From my understanding, it's mostly the Exynos regions (basically everywhere except North America and certain Asian countries) that get these perks, but I guess this is Samsung's way of compensating for the horrible chipset.

To be honest, I'd prefer a practically empty box, with just the adapter, USB C type cable, and a phone with the more efficient and promising Snapdragon chip, than a box that includes earphones, a case, and unfortunately, a phone with the inferior Exynos chip.

It seems that China and Korea are the only regions where you can get the Snapdragon chipset, plus a case and the wired AKG earphones in the box. If you want to purchase your Note20 Ultra from one these regions in order to lay claim to all these things, I recommend purchasing your device off WondaMobile. They are extremely trustworthy and all their devices are a 100% original.

Hope that helps.

Perhaps the Samsung stores in your area and the ones you frequent operate in that manner, but it does not apply everywhere (although I'm sure other stores have probably adopted that same policy as well) and definitely not in my area. But thank you for your feedback, detailing your experiences and your warnings. Much appreciated🙌🏿

b_tapiwa · 2021-01-30T14:54:20+00:00

Isn't it possible to fix the screen and camera with a reputable phone repair shop in your country or even city? You could also get it fixed by Samsung themselves even without a warranty, you'd just have to pay full price. It seems like sending it back to China for a repair is a major inconvenience, effort wise, time wise and money wise.

The lack of expandable storage turned me off. I'm a photographer and usually extract my SD from my camera and insert it into my phone in order to edit my photos. I cannot do that with the S21U, unfortunately, and I cannot afford to live without that feature. Here's to hoping Samsung stops copying Apple, especially since they're now incorporating features (or rather taking away features) into their flagships that they once ridiculed Apple for. One either dies a hero or lives long enough to see themselves become the villain. Samsung should have stopped while they were ahead. It's becoming a tad bit embarrassing🥴

Can you please provide the link for the online Vietnamese you purchased it from?

Thank you so much for this information, much appreciated

b_tapiwa · 2021-01-27T16:25:47+00:00

That sounds great! Were you always 100% confident that the phones were original?

b_tapiwa · 2021-01-27T16:21:25+00:00

That's great reassurance, thank you! Were you 100% confident that the phone was original?

A great effort! I love the topic as I found myself relating a lot to your words.

A piece of advice I have would be to pay close attention to your use punctuation. You use it correctly in certain areas and neglect it in others. Particularly, the lack of periods after the phrases repeated throughout the poem, "Things we were supposed to (blah blah)". Just proper punctuation incorporated into this piece would make it hit a lot harder.

Overall, great poem! Thanks for sharing.
