Questions about this item

How do I install the SIM card in the Galaxy S21+ G996U and which step do people miss?

Use the ejector tool to open the tray on the lower edge, place the nano-SIM with the gold contacts facing down, then push the tray fully home until it clicks; the step most skip is powering the phone off first, so the network registers the new card immediately.

What maintenance or replacement will the Galaxy S21+ 5G need after a year of daily use?

The 4800mAh battery is the only user-replaceable consumable; charge cycles gradually reduce capacity, so a battery swap restores original run-time.

What limit appears first when the Snapdragon 888 runs at 120Hz for long sessions?

Sustained 120Hz output on the 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED pushes thermals up, so the phone throttles the chipset to protect itself, capping peak performance until it cools.
