My lovely fiancée got her S21 Ultra today from 2degrees which was a surprise. Pixel helped with the unboxing:

If anyone else gets theirs early - PB have cases they're selling. Also yes fully aware this is a crappy unmade bed unboxing.

Did the fingerprint reader register the Pixel’s paw print okay?

Happy new phone day guys.  If anyone is wanting to move on the bundled Galaxy Buds pro let me know.

 

 

 

The specials seem to have gotten worse over time.  2 degrees doesn't appear to be doing the $200 off.  At least the price has dropped.

They're doing a sizeable trade in on recent model phones though.  Approx $1500 trade in on a Note 20 Ultra against the S21.

Mine just shipped with an ETA of Tuesday. Suspect that's because they aren't delivering on the weekend and Monday is Wellington Anniversary. But a bummer because I'm flying to Auckland for work next week on Tuesday morning lol

That case isn't available just yet.
Yes other S-Pens work with the S21 Ultra but the bluetooth functionality will come in an MR update later on.

I already like this a lot more than my Note 20 Ultra.  Amazing the difference it makes that the screen width is slightly smaller than the Note.  So much easier to use one handed, and the flatness of the screen (though the glass is curved) has already stopped my spurious inputs that used to happen dozens of times daily.

Over a day of solid use of this phone and I can safely say it's a far superior experience than the last few Samsung's I've had.  It reminds me a bit of the S9, that felt like the culmination of the generations prior, where as this feels like a culmination of the generations since then.
