But if you were using non-Google services/apps, then a lot of data will not be backed up to Google Cloud. For example, if you use the Samsung messages app, then your SMS will not be backed up to your Google account.

Besides, none of the phone settings is backed up to your Google account.

Top 6 disappointments of Galaxy S21 Ultra

Last updated on: February 19, 2021 by simon 3 Comments

Top 6 disappointments of Galaxy S21 UltraGalaxy S21 Ultra is Samsung’s only hope to reverse the declining sales of Galaxy S phones since Galaxy S10. But it seems Samsung lost the opportunity due to the numerous disappointments of Galaxy S21 Ultra.

This post summarizes the top 6 disappointments of Galaxy S21 Ultra: curved screen, no micro SD card support, lack of essential accessories, no 45W superfast charging,  with S Pen support but without an S Pen, inferior under-display fingerprint sensor.

Curved screen

Since Galaxy S6 Edge (or even Galaxy Note Edge), Samsung tried hard to sell the curved screen.  It is unique.

But most Galaxy phone owners don’t like it.  Very few Galaxy phone owners bought the phone because of the curved screen.

Initially, Samsung told us they would add some new and innovative features like Edge screen. Now, it is purely cosmetic (infinity display).

If Samsung had listened to customers, they should have stopped using the curved screen on any mainstream phones 3 or 4 years ago.

Unfortunately, Samsung is too stubborn and try luck on the most important flagship phones.

On the three Galaxy S21 models, Galaxy S21 Ultra is the only one with a … Read the rest
