      glass just adds cost, we lose grip and end up having to spend more to cover it so we can hold onto the phone. I think a textured back is the move so we have a grip on the device in our hands.

    As far as software support, I'm pretty sure that the S21 series are supposed to be getting one more Android update to Android 15 and then they will most likely end there plus a couple of years of security updates. From what they announced in 2022 that starting with the S21 phones, they will be giving four years of Android updates.

    Whatever you do, DON'T BUY IT UNLOCKED! In the used market, buy it that is locked to YOUR carrier! I got the plus version, and it performs extremely well, the cameras were absolutely amazing, and everything you have dreamed of. However, here is one problem. THE SERVICE. I barely had any 5G. I always have LTE, and if it does have LTE, it barely works. It says it has LTE Cat20, but for unlocked it probably has like Cat6. Sometimes I don't even get service. That's just sad, because it's such a very powerful phone, and if it did have good service, I would still be very happy with it. When it did have 5G, it was very fast 5G, which was at least good. The battery life was all right. It was used, so it's not the best. I got a Pixel 7a, but I hated that one, because it's basically a ChromeOS phone, not an android. The service was just a little bit better. I then got an A54 locked to T-Mobile, and the service is AMAZING! Just don't get unlocked phones, because they are not worth it. Also, try getting something new, not used.

    Reviewers are never happy with any new cell phone that debuts. Each one likes certain features on the phones and dislikes others. So why don't you guys build your own cell phone with the features you guys want on your phone. It's like buying a golf cart and complaining about how slow it moves and doesn't compare to a ferrari.

      This, but please note that 3 years into it you will be charging it twice a day. During summer and especially when you drive and have GPS on with music through Bluetooth it's going to turn into a frying pan, you'll be able to cook your eggs on the back of it

      @@LilJimmyy Matter of preference with the operating system (iOS vs Android). Both devices will be supported until 2026, but the S21 is a newer one so it comes with the benefits of its time, including a refresh rate of 120Hz (adaptive) while the iPhone 11 series comes with 60Hz which is a dealbreaker to me personally.
      Check if the iPhone 11 will support the upcoming iOS 18 because it'll be a large update for Apple products. If not, try to get a newer iPhone that'll get the iOS 18 or buy the S21 if you like it, you won't go wrong with it except for the small inconveniences that I mentioned.
