    I'm getting a lot of comments asking for the wallpaper - That's by the epic Gio Gargiulo (@GioakG on Twitter). He has a shared folder on Google Photos somewhere that I got it from.

      @@ArcticWolf-qd6ev definitely a learning curve. After Smart Switch, the layout pretty much looks like my old iPhone for now so not making use of Android's customizability. Will get there in time, but the "feel" of using a new platform is very enjoyable!

    Nice review, i have S21 from 2 days and display its terrible with 1080x2400 resolution lower than S6, S7 S8 , S9 S10 and S20. Samsung support didnt even know that when i asked them. Also i cannot play videos more than 1080p in youtube can u imagine ? My S6 Edge can and difference in quality its from earth to space. In fact with S21 (not ultra) u get the display of A71 (400 euro cheap phone) Imagine playing videos in youtube at 1080p in 2021 ? Also with 1080x2400 this low resolution any photo looks worse than any other S version simply bec S6 Edge for example has 1440 x 2560 pixels, 16:9 ratio (~577 ppi density) - even higher ppi destiny can u imagine ? Im watching both of them in front of me and i cant believe how samsung can fail so bad selling u the most worst display ever from all S version cheap , low resolution, low ppi, terrible photos and video quality lower than 5 years old phone.

      You need to purchase either the wired headphones with c jack or buy wireless headphones and use Bluetooth. It doesn't have the actual port anymore for headphones like older Samsung phones. They went away with provided headphones as well as the charging block to (supposedly) save on the environment 😑. Which in all actuality adds to more packaging buying new headphones that have the USB-C end and more packaging when you buy your own USB-C charging block 🤔 . Stupid idea 💡 in my opinion

      @@Miranda3730 I've improved it somewhat by downloading the google phone app, messages app and clock app from the play store. Waaaay better than the corresponding samsung apps. I was getting 10 robocalls per day with the samsung phone app, despite toggling on all the blocking choices. With the google phone app, I've gotten zero robocalls. I've also downloaded all the pixel sounds, because the samsung ones are garbage. I'm gonna work on getting the pixel camera app, but that's not as easy because it's not on the play store. Anyway, it's better now, but nowhere close to a pixel.
