Just had an automated FedEx call to say I'm going to receive a package that requires signature tomorrow (Thursday). Samsung still shows status as prepping for dispatch but I can't imagine it's anything else that the phone

Finally got a call from the FedEx robot lady yesterday afternoon as soon as my phone (Green 512GB) shipped. I was able to track the package as well. However my order page on Samsung.ca only updated to reflect the change at 5 this Morning. My phone should be here by 5 PM today.:)
LOL, do you only post when you get a new galaxy every year then disappear until the next release?

Since exynos is now gone. Maybe Samsung Canada changed their mind? Other countries are showing available. Fingers crossed on unlocking the bootloader lol

Mine arrived at 8:30 MST. Looks identical to the S22U. I was hoping this phone would have space for two physical sims but it appears not. Still have to use one physical and on esim.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra
Funny, quite a number of folks here (including myself) came from the S21ULTRA thread...birds of a feather... ☺️
Waiting for FedEx to show up ("before 12 pm") but unlike others my robot lady didn't bother leaving a tracking number. Talk about AI with personality 😆
Had to wait 3 hrs for the Samsung email that did have a link to tracking.

Even more funny (or not) I also got another email from Samsung thanking me for registering the Galaxy Buds...which have NOT shipped ?!? I check what earbuds does the FedEx guy wear. 😈

EDIT: Whaddyaknow, smiling FedEx guy shows up at 11.55 am...talk about punctuality. Purolator would have deliver next week.
No Buds, the saga commences....I assume others didn't get them either?

Mine showed up yesterday. Black 512GB. Liking it so far, but it's 2% better than the S22U.

Come on guys the anticipation is killing me can you get OEM unlock in developer options?

    Yep I received the same update.
    I'm pleasantly surprised and happy the update came out at the same time as the US!

    What's the difference between the Canadian version, the S9180 and S918B?
    Thanks!
    Nothing at all. Just different regions. The S918B can be bootloader unlocked. The Canadian cannot.

    So only a warranty difference then?
    Pretty much. I've purchased my last 5 Samsung devices outside of warranty and country and only had a screen issue and paid for it. Other than that, Samsung has a pretty solid quality history.

    Serious question. All these people on Facebook Marketplace, how do most of them they get the phones they are selling? Second question....has anyone done business with PDA Plaza? Good experience? What's their warranty really worth?
    Believe for example Telus has a limited 14 day return window on in-store phone purchases, 30 days from online. Could be from people just deciding they don't like it and out of that return window. I don't believe the ads that state they "bought 2 to see which one they liked".

    Given issues with some devices I'd only buy something I can personally check in person (also opening the box to make sure its not full of potatoes), and no shipping.

    If in doubt ask for IMEI and do a check https://swappa.com/imei
    And check both the one on the box matches the one in the box.

    Just got a shipping notification from FedEx that my phone is being shipped from Vancouver and will arrive tomorrow before noon. I ordered a black 512G phone on Feb 6 coming to Calgary..

    Same here. Looking forward to the improved photo / video capabilities and the extra HP under the hood.

    Same. Just traded in my s21 ultra they're giving me 800 discount for it I thought that was very decent for a 2 years old phone! And the free upgrade to the 512gb/12ram variant is a nice touch too (apparently the 256gb only has 8gb Ram?). Now hopefully they ship it a bit in advance ;)
