  • Talking about should you still buy the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G. Is it still a good choice to get more than a year after its release and is it worth it in 2022 and even 2023? An updated review of the Samsung Galaxy S21!
    Right now, in 2022, you can pick this phone up for a much lower price than when it was released. That's why we're taking another look at it to see if the Galaxy S21 still holds up.
    Going over everything, cameras, performance, design and build quality, battery, and pricing.
    So, should you buy one now? In my opinion, Samsung Galaxy S21 5G still has its place if you're looking for a premium Samsung experience with great cameras that's gonna last you a long time, but you don't want to spend a grand on something like the Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus or S23 Ultra.
    An amazing deal for 2022 and 2023!

      @pedjabun  Před rokem +3

      Hey hey! I actually think iPhones are a better choice for that stuff especially if you're planning on doing youtube, social media and things like that. If u want Android, yeah S21 is a good choice and it's not that expensive. Other than that maybe something like a Pixel 6 or 6a, they have amazing cameras especially for photography. Also maybe Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite or Poco F3 if you're on a budget. But my top choices would be something like iPhone 12/13, Pixel 6/6a and S21. Hope that helps 🙂

      U sustini mislim da ti je glavna razlika velicina. S21 ima jaci procesor i malo bolje kamere (osim sto nema 100x zoom kao Ultra ali msm da to nije previse bitno posto dosta gubi na kvalitetu kad se zumira previse). Ultra je malo vise premium izgled i mozda ima malo jacu bateriju. Ja bih izabrao S21 zato sto je noviji i trajace duze, ali ako zelis veci ekran cepaj na S20 Ultra opusteno 😀 Da ti odgovorim i na prethodni kom vezano za 11 Pro. Jeste stariji od S21, ali iPhone generalno ima bas dug zivot tako da to ne pravi neku razliku. Trajace isto koliko i S21 lagano.
