      Well it's not always unnecessary comments. Sometimes Jerry point out things that shouldn't been done by companies such as the poor repairability of the S10 series, the unnecessary difficulty to remove the battery of some devices, etc. In terms of the comments he made about politics, I'm also not a big fan of those. But about the rest, not a big deal.

      @@PBKreviews From I've read so far the main camera does have a fisheye blur at the edges of photos though, which is probably due to the smaller 24mm lens as opposed to the 26mm lens on the Note 20 Ultra. Fisheye blur has a very predictable blurring pattern, so hopefully Samsung adds an algorithm in an update the blur. Other than that it's an amazing phone, and I love that they did apply cooling solutions for the Exynos version this time around.

    I'm SO glad the S21 Ultra Exynos has the graphene vapor chamber, unlike the Note 20 Ultra Exynos, which had... nothing, just a layer of whatever it was to protect the oled panel, while the Note 20 Ultra Snapdragon had a copper plate.
    What makes the most sense as to why the cable isn't removable, might be because the S21 Ultra *may* have had problems with the flex cable loosening the side it's now soldered onto the screen assembly, but you know, that's just speculation.
    Overall it seems like it's solid build quality and well-thought out internals.

  • @goofycoolguy
    @goofycoolguy 3 роки тому +5

    Good video, that cable you thought was the fingerprint sensor is actually the S pen digitizer that is located behind the LCD. Also the battery requires iso to sit for a little to be removed, that's why there is no tabs. Plastic playing cards = super easy removal after iso has been applied. They generally don't want to heat the battery ever since the Note 7 incident.

    • @PBKreviews
      @PBKreviews  3 роки тому +1

      Ya iso works but gets messy sometimes and not a common thing an average person would have on hand. Also many phone manufactures use adhesive and pry tabs that don't require heat. You can pull up and pry the battery off fairly easily with no heat so not sure why Samsung refuses to use them. As for the S pen your right, I realized it after the video. :)

      No since the networks there don't use 5G mmwave. It doesn't affect the standard 5G signal strength. For example lets say its 4G vs 3G antenna. If the networks in EU dont have 3G, it wont slow the 4G or degrade the 4G strength.

    Is this recommendable to do at home? I have tiny water droplets JUST behind the lenses of my camera, but no further inconveniences, nor any particular damage. . . Well, except that I dropped my phone (in a shockproof case) on the ground and got a crack on it I didn't know about because it's under the case. Then, I submerged just the top quarter of it in the pool to record videos, but I assume that the water droplets got behind the lenses through the crack. Still, no particular damages other than that. My phone works just fine. Think I could take off the back plate just to wipe the lenses real quick? Please, let me know! :)

    I know that when you insert the sim tool through the hole of the microphone it will not be damaged, but could you explain if there is something in the hole and also what it hits at the end when you insert the tool, clearly something feels that there is inside of the hole.

    • @PBKreviews
      @PBKreviews  3 роки тому +1

      There is a filter above the hole which covers the opening that leads to the mic. But there shouldn't be anything else in the hole aside from the curve in the frame that leads up or down to the mic so technically you should only be hitting the frame with your sim eject tool. The mic would not be touched since it sits above the hole.

      There are different kinds of 5G networks. Only the mmWave 5G networks require the additional antenna assembly.
