I have the 21fe 5g and I must say that it's the best phone I have ever owned and was surprised with the cost I expected less than the more expensive guys. The size is perfect for 1 hand use and the camera is up to par with the bigger phones minus the very small details that 99% of people never use anyway. The processor is bomb and 120hz is up to par with any top phone. The only knock for me is only 15w wireless charge but that's being picky. For the price this is the best phone by far.
I didn't even know it had wireless charging when I bought it so I'm not complaining much at all. I wanted to get the cheapest Samsung with a top end Snapdragon at the time. I've since learned so much more about the device that makes it a lot more valuable than I originally thought of it.
I have had S8, S9, S10 and now S21 FE. All of them are excellent phones. S21 FE is very nice, smooth, fast and sleek. Like the 6.4 inch screen, and the non cracking plastic backside, the 4500 mAh battery, 120Hz, 5G, CPU performance and good four cameras. I bought it 2 years old in perfect condition for $265 for the larger storage of 256GB. You can probably get one 128GB version for around $200. S21 FE 5g is the most wonderful phone I have ever hold in my hand.
I have used this phone 6 months now. Great phone! Only disadvantage is lack of adaptive refreshrate. This will increase the battery life if it was available
There is a project apk that lets you use adaptive refresh rate (it uses 60 hz and 120hz option and sets the phone to lower refresh rate if ur not using it)
I'm currently waiting for my brand new S21 5G to arrive this week. At roughly $350, I think it's a steal for me lol. (The Galaxy A53 5G was more expensive 😭)
Man! Such a great review dude. Keep it up and don't leave it. One day u will reach high as Big channel. I am looking for this S21 FE detail user review. I will buy it now. I'm from INDIA it cost around $390 8GB/128GB now in india. Thanks Man!
@@schnickschnack4030 I basically use all the features. Plus I'm in a hot environment which also further aggravates discharge. I use 120 Hz and if you turn it down to 60 Hz, you can expect 7-8h of SoT easily. I've even gotten 7h on mostly using CZcams
Loved my s21 fe but recently upgraded to the s23 ultra and seeing this phone was literally 90-95% of what the s 23 ultra with the exception of the larger screen, spen, 8 Gen 2 for galaxy, 10x zoom lens and the laser auto focus also faster charging. Definitely a great option if you can find it for a good price won't be disappointed 😉 👌
I'm getting the 8+256 Exynos (because Global version) next month and I can't wait for it to arrive! An awesome steal for about 388 USD in my currency! Crossed fingers hoping Exynos has improved, upgrading from an S9+
My only issue was the battery, it's like draining to quick. but it's definitely a great camera with lots of great fearures. And better front camera compare to s21
I really love Samsung phones. And now, I'm really convinced to buy s21 fe SD 888 chipset version. I prefer that to exynos chipset. Thanks for your video. You just earned another subscriber to your channel. I can't wait to watch you on my new SG s21 fe.
I'll be making a comparison on the two soon, but so far I'm still gonna say the S21 FE. Both are great and you're really not gonna go wrong with either, but the S21 FE is a little better feature-wise
I have recently bought the s21 fe, I have noticed that the edges of the display are not perfectly rounded. 1, 2 pixels are up down. Is this normal? In addition, when I tilt the phone the display has a thin green line at the top where it starts and a pink line at the bottom where it ends.
@@soonsuicidal Yeah i don't the reason, I have contacted the samsungs outlet too, they are saying this is ok, but i have compared with other s21 fe, my unit seems display issues :(
I’ve never experienced anything like that. My battery is fine and I use this phone to record a lot of the videos for this channel, so I’m always draining the battery from recording but I’ve never had it overheat, and the battery life is okay for what it is. But if the battery life is super important to you, you might want to go with the A54 instead because its battery is still noticeably better
I'd say the fe direct competition would be the pixel 6 at the time apart from the primary camera the fe is the better phone having used both better screen quality 4k on the front and back which the 6 can't do wow I can't believe you can get this in the usa for 400 bucks the FE here in the uk still retails at £600 for the 128,6gb and 749 for the 256,8gb ram
Wait 329$ where? This is still 400+ here in my country with risk coz I still have to order it online from China for a Snapdragon variant. If I buy it locally, we only have Exynos variant ranging $500 from $680 depends if it is Samsunf official store or local online shops.
Fe still has one of the best camera performance even today the only i hate is i got exynos and samsung shutter lag when capturing photos hehe😅😅 Also and cheap plastic back cover
Yeah it definitely has its quirks, especially the Exynos from what I hear, but overall still a great phone! I agree, the cheap plastic is weird for a Galaxy S phone but I guess they had to lower costs somewhere. Luckily it's nothing a good case can't fix
At this point the only two reasons to choose an A73 5G over the S21 FE is if you want a larger display (The A73 5G is 6.8 inches vs the S21 FE's 6.4) or microSD card expansion. Otherwise the S21FE has still better performance, the display looks nicer despite being smaller, it has wireless charging if you care about that, and the camera is a lot better. And weirdly enough, it's also cheaper nowadays too
Not gonna lie I have a 12 promax and I’ve always used galaxy’s. My last iPhone was a 6 and coming from an S5 it was very disappointing to say the least. Now the 12 promax has come a long way and I like iPhone now but for simple stuff. I just got this phone for 400 brand new and only for Samsung dex and the camera and the screen might not be s23 good but for 400 and 120hz it’s not bad at all better than my other cheap moto phones I use for music. And why didn’t people tell me iPhones automatically sim your screen doing almost any task that’s why I got the promax but can’t even use it without straining my eyes and my androids get hot but always charge not my iPhone it gets a tad warm and just says fk you lol
@@kalipeztech Excuse me, another question: Samsung usually stops producing its phones after how many years? For example, until what date will s21fe be produced?
I don’t know if I can give a good answer in a comment, I’ll probably have to make a video on that soon.. but it really depends on what you’re using them for. The Pixel 6a takes amazing photos especially in bright light with portrait mode, and I also like its night mode better. The S21 FE has a telephoto lens tho so the distance and close-up type photos are better. For video I’m not completely sure, it’s really close but I will say I don’t like how phone screens look on the Pixel whereas I have no complaints about the S21 FE video. Again definitely a lot more too it that I’ll have to do more of a deep dive on in a dedicated video but hope that helps a bit!

Might i ask you about heat or battery issues in general ? or is all good? Since when do you own it ? Thanks
@@schnickschnack4030 It can get hot easily. But it isn't so bad that it makes using it a bad experience.

Which one do you recommend s21fe(Exyons version) or Samsung a54
bought it for 225€ best phone ive had so far
Many thanks for this useful video. I was deciding between S21 FE and A73. This vid helped a lot
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching!
I Have The S20 FE & The Galaxy S21 FE
Which one do you like better?
I love this phone but it heats up alot i use it heavy and charge battery dosent last to long when in use
You use it heavy gaming or in general ?

@@kalipeztech Awesome, thanks for the insights
May i ask you, is a plastic film as a protection enough for this phone or is tempered glass better ? thanks!
Plastic is definitely better than nothing, but tempered glass is a lot better, it's more durable, can't peel and it's less likely to bubble
S21 FE SD or Exynos version? Which one is better in terms of Battery Backup & less heating up issue?
Snapdragon of course
Exinos better.

Is this a snapdragon version or exynos 2100 ?
Snapdragon
What are your thoughts with regards to exynos version especially in terms of heating.
How many Android updates does the s21fe get?
It get should at least up to Android 15, if not 16. I can’t remember if it came with 11 or 12 but if it’s 12 then it should get Android 16 too
