Anyone else have the S21 FE still on the March update?
@Iamanemoji mine is an unlocked phone. I have been told the carrier phones get updates quicker than the factory unlocked phones. Seems odd though.
I don't know why so many people complaining about S21 FE; with Snapdragon, amazing display and good cameras (and now good price) It is to me really good...
Completely agree. 6.4 inches is the perfect size, very minimal bezels, sd888, has a telephoto camera and will get four years of android updates and four years of security patches.
No it will get 5 years of security updates.
Love my S21 FE, upgraded from the S20 FE for like $35 through Samsung and got more storage,ram and SD 888.
Great deal!
How is the battery? Not much worse than on s20fe? And is it worth upgrading s20fe to s21fe?
@@Ibroxim it's as good imo.
I’m a trucker, I use iPhone and my s21 I love everything about it it’s stood by 5 days on a single charge, if I use it all day it’ll only get down to 60%. It feels premium definitely worth the buy
This phone aged very well even though it was released four months ago and the timing wasn't what everyone expected but you got to give it to Samsung.. it has Android 12 out of the box and 4 years of updates...plot twist. you got it all in this phone with a wonderful price now. Love it! If you can grab one, you won't regret it. It has many options and features, is everything but boring..simply amazing.
It released like 2 months ago
@@RofinoMX initial release date was January 11th in the US and Europe, later in other countries. Salute.
In my country this phone for some reason selling at 750 dollars
@@nishantjage3545 holy shit. I mean better then paying 1000
Anyone else watching this on their 21FE? I got a good deal on 256gb/8gb version and couldn't be happier. :)
Yes, enjoying my s21 fe purchase.
I am. I was going to get the pixel but opted for this phone. I could not be happier
I just bought the 128gb/8gb version last week and I'm loving it (:
I still have my Samsung Galaxy S10 and I been debating which phone to upgrade to and was going to go with the S22 but with the battery issues and over heating issues I think imma go with S21 fe instead. Thanks for making video cause it help me make the better decision and it's really cheap as well.
You’re welcome. Glad I could help. Thanks for watching.
Would love to hear an update! I upgraded from the S10e to the S21 FE and I'm very happy with it. It's sad to lose the headphone jack and SD card, but it's easily than ever to store things offline and on the cloud. Plus more and more headphones are available for Bluetooth, wasn't too hard of a transition at this point for me
How's the battery life going?
@@bernlin2000 I ended up getting the s22 and the battery was awful, so I got tired of it after a few months and switched to iPhone 14 and it’s the best decision I’ve made.
@@emerge8 Like I told the person above your comment the s22 had bad battery and I always had android phone so I kinda wanted a change and got an iPhone and I love it.
I got the S21 FE for $525, just waiting for it in the mail. I don't think it's fair to compare retail price with used/refurbished prices as companies can't be expected to compete with prices on Ebay for example, but we definitely need to consider deals on new phones in our price comparison. All the deals around for this phone at the moment make it a no brainer over the Pixel 6 for anyone on the fence. Some people are dedicated to the Pixel line and want that stock Android experience and aren't interested in this phone at all, and other people who have to have the "latest" model (even though this just came out) will go for the S22 lineup. I don't get a new phone every year, and the update policy for this phone is better than the Pixel, even though that has stock Android. Snapdragon 888 has been the flagship chip until just now, so I don't think most people will notice the difference between this and the 8gen in normal daily use. I was almost drawn into the S22 Ultra hype, but I can't justify spending twice as much on a phone I know won't give me twice as much benefit with the way I use the phone. For some people it'll be worth it, but for most of us I'm guessing it won't be.
Yup. Very good points
Yep, also what turned me away from the S22 series is all the heat issues with the new Snapdragon gen 1 chips. Picked up the S21 FE 256 gb version for $570 directly from Samsungs website (base model was on sale for $499).
I had the S20 FE. Saw no real difference between it and the flagship series. Besides display. Very solid and I don't see many of them on the used market which says many people are keeping them.
@@matteo4413 Sadly it is back to $699 again. I was busy with the Pixel 6 at the time the S21 FE was on sale I guess.
Just picked up the s21 fe from Best Buy. I got it open box new condition for $410!! I couldn't believe it, I'm still shocked! Awesome deal, at that price.
That’s a great deal!
I know, right! Out of pocket, I only paid $280, I traded in pixel 4xl. Android 12 has been so buggy to this once great device, I had to factory reset it three times because of the face ID messing up constantly, saying I had to "clean the sensor"r.... Regardless, it all worked out for the best!!
@Santa Claus Visits Live or Virtual prices change
I bought the S21 FE yesterday at best buy for $449. So far I really like it. Super light, feels great in the hand, great display, good battery.👍
Great to hear!
Your absolutely spot on. I got myself the S22 plus and it's a great phone but, after using my friends S21FE for the day, I do kind of wish I saved some money and went with the S21FE instead... Great video 👍
I have the S22 Plus, too. I did get mine through Best Buy with some perks.
You prefer the 21FE to the s22 plus? Shouldn’t the battery life be about the same? And other than that won’t the 22+ be the better phone?
@@joshua.guevara No no, the S22 plus is the better phone, but I'm not sure it's worth the £300 extra
@@Renegade1797 ohhh I misinterpreted, now follow you. Thanks for the response man!
@@joshua.guevara no worries bro, take care 👍👍👍
It's all genius marketing. By pricing the s21 fe like what they did (high at launch then drop), they pushed potential buyers to S22 line first and then s21 fe. At the end of day, Samsung sold more devices, thus the strategy is better than having both line reasonably priced since the beginning.
Definitely agreed! Got this phone at a discount.
(Snapdragon, 8/256 gb version)
Everything works great, I'm quite satisfied with it 👍
is overheating?
Crazy but I’m considering the S21 FE or the new A53 because I’ll be heading to SE Asia for a month or more this fall. I like them because they support dual SIM cards, I don’t want to take my Pixel 6 with ESIM and one SIM card tray. Great video
Using the s21fe for a week now and I'm stunned how good it is..the battery life is great..it charges in an hour and 5min with an aker nano 2 gan charger,worth buying also..the display is gorgeous..sound is great,fingerprint sensor works flawless..8hour SOT and 17hours between the charges..I have the 8gb ram and 256gb storage..it's a keeper..get it..the price dropped and you'll never regret buying it..the processor snapdragon 888 is a beast 😁, the 6,4"screen is the sweet spot..not too small or too large..I recommend it
Yup. Solid phone!
What is the in app camera quality like in Snapchat?
@@thomasparsons3166 Very good
I am not sure How many video you were upload for S21 FE. I think you really loved it bro 😀🤔
Picked this up for just $399 before tax with activation at best buy. What a deal for what I believe is almost just as good as the flagship phones. Wouldn't have even known about those without you. Thank you so much! I've been loving your channel!
That’s a fantastic deal! Glad you could get one for so cheap. And thank you I’m glad you enjoy the channel
Totally agree. I can't tell any difference from this on the flagship to everyday use. I've taken pictures with both phones side by side and they both look the same. I don't know what Samsung was thinking about making this phone. But keep doing it Samsung!
Bought mine 350 second hand only 1 month used. Amazing purchase
Could you comment on Exynos vs Snapdragon on this model? I see good deals for Exynos locally.
I'd also love to highlight the weight factor in your reviews. This is a powerful and lightweight phone which is great.
Nobody cared about the S21 FE when it came out. Now that it's cheaper, people are looking at it. Personally, I really like it, always have. Been better since the One UI 4.1 update as well v
I got the 8/128 for only 410$ at a local courier. It's Exynos variant. Even if it has that chip, I don't regret it. I'm not a heavy user afterall. Got 6-7 hrs SOT compared to 3-4 hrs on my IP X.
Gaming wise, I can't really tell
It stutters or freezes but it's very rare. And it only happens in the afternoon probably because my location's heat index is around 40-50 °C.
My only complain will be on the camera. 🤣
Colors tend to be a bit very saturated. The UW cam produces more natural colors tho!
I just bought a used S21 FE for £230, it's fantastic! Feels and looks great, durable with the plastic back, great display, battery has been pretty decent, although it's still Learning my usage, but I'm still getting around 6 hours screen time.
Great price!
agree.100 per cent. Love mine. G0t 35 hours of battery life
Nice!
Got mine for verizon activated at best buy for 399.00 this weekend. Been waiting for the price to drop to upgrade from my cracked s10
I got this one for my Dad at this price since his Moto Z Play was like 3 years old. I probably would have bought it at this price for be if I didn't already break down and get the S22 plus. I hope you enjoy your device.
That’s a great deal
My Samsung Fold 3 took a dump after a Tmobile update and I had to find a replacement. I bought the 21 FE for $450 no activation from Best Buy! Great deal and substantially lighter in my pocket!
Yup. It’s a solid phone! $450 is a great price.
Fun fact. The FE has different software than the flagship phones. It's more like the mid ranger phones. One feature I use on every Samsung Galaxy is the personalized color option in accessibility. Not there on the FE. Test this out on your S22 then compare to FE.
Settings > Accessibility > Visibility Enhancements > Color Adjustment. S22/+/U has Personalized Color, FE no go.
I really like that feature can't believe its gone on FE might keep s22 plus now
@@marufio That missing feature is the biggest reason I haven't gone for the FE series.
I just bought one of these today to replace my current s10e, seems like a pretty good bit of kit so far. Also got free bud2's with it... gotta love a bargain!
Nice! I hope you enjoy it
Should I take an 8/128 Exynos version or a 6/128 Snapdragon version? Thanks in advance.
I would go snapdragon. I have not heard good things at all about the exynos.
Thanks for the information very helpful. Xfinity this month is actually running a $400 promotion off if you pay for it month by month. Think I will upgrade an pay only 12.50 a month for this phone for two years!!
Nice. Not too shabby. You’re welcome
I just got the 8 256 version from Amazon for $669. Best Buy wants $769 for it without activation. My son needed a new phone.
Nice! Hopefully he enjoys it
The only thing I hate about it is the battery life. It’s amazing how quickly that battery ticks down.
And that’s even turning the 120 refresh rate off. I just don’t get it, I’ll pull it off the charger and any light use the battery could drop 5-8% in 15 mins.
Have you tried power savings in battery setting and sleeping unnecessary app also no always on display
@@marufio yes I did. I ended up just returning it.
This phone is much better than pixel 6 in every aspects including the cameras!
I agree. I sold my P6!
I got the S20 FE 16 months ago for ~$250 at Costco and love it.
That’s a solid deal. Glad you’re still enjoying it!
Still consider between s22 8 gen 1 and s21fe exynos (in my country)
if you're considering between base s22 8 gen 1 and s21 fe exynos i think you should go for the s21 fe exynos, I got the exynos version from where I am and I dont regret it
@@yyttrrgg2nd how about s21 fe batt performance?
@@hm55501 its been very good, lasted the whole day while I was outside using data( but i do turn data on and off), lasted me two days with minimal use and if I charge it at night it usually lasts me till the next night, sometimes till morning. haven't done much gaming but didn't notice any quick battery drop when I played pokemon unite and star wars hunters, might be a different story if you play genshin impact
I think now one UI is the best android skin and also 4 years os update and 5 years security update. But in my country also many cases of galaxy s or note after the software update display or camera broken. Is there also many issue in other country? I use both OS (iphone 12 and oneplus 6), my op6 no any problem after 3 major software update but get no more software or security update support.
@@hm55501 haven't heard much about that issue but im willing to trust samsung when it comes to its updates and also before you update, make sure to always read other people's reviews
Great video on the Samsung S21FE!!! I agree with you, in the beginning Samsung released this phone at a bad time at too high of a price for anyone to even consider getting this phone. Now with the prices being lower I hope people can see this phone for the gem it is...great display, great processor and the four year OS and 5 year security updates should make people want to consider buying this phone after all I have a Samsung S21 base model and when my contract is up I may even look at buying the S21FE.
Thank you very much.
@@TechOdyssey You are so welcome!!!
I agree 100% with what you said.i love how Samsung isn't afraid to offer discounts, reasons I always go back
I think the S21 FE is likely a better way to go than the A53. A53 is nice, but you're still getting a more premium device with the S21 in the long run. In some respects the A53 is a step down from the A52, where as the FE is giving you 90% of what you'd want from a Samsung flagship phone. More discerning and tech savvy users might miss that 10%, but the non tech savvy will be very very happy with what they get.
Tech savvy people would either go for a S21 FE or A52S.
@@mysteryman3054 The A52s will only go upto Android 14 (supposedly) while the A53 is promised to get Android 16 (not that many people will keep a midrange for that long).
FYI A53 does also not have wireless charging, and Wifi 6 (for me more than enough reason to go with S21 FE)
I read that the a53 is a successor to the a52 but the A52S is better than the a53 so if you're going from an a52 to a 53 it's okay but I recommend to hold out for the a53s however because of the a what is it 21 FE the pricing I would just recommend go for the a 21FE to better deal and the processors like ridiculously better so it's weird they do crazy amount of refreshes I think twice a year for the phones and they have a lot of phones so just see where your budget is always wait and check out for the best deals
A series good Phones but became expensive this year. Better pay For S22 or S21 FE long Lasting Flagship devices and has good specifications. A series devices, dont look like prem
I'm definitely interested in getting this one. Seems like the best deal right now.
It is a good deal for sure at $549 or less.
Man, ur making me want to buy a new phone I don’t need lol. Great review/update 🤙🏼
Hide your wallet! 😅😂
I just bought the s21 fe 256gb for $442 which is amazing..... And the cameras looks amazing and the software is great
That’s a great deal
How’s the battery life treating you. Thinking of getting the 8GB/256GB one for $600
Waiting for mine to come in. Got the 128gb model for $400 new from boost mobile. Upgrading from the samsung galaxy s10e. Can't wait for it to come.
Nice! That will be a fun day when it gets there.
And that's why I've buy it just today for 480eur... Really good deal IMHO. I'm coming from a Pixel 6 I sold 3 months ago, and this S21 has everything the Pixel lacked of: ergonomics.
I sold my P6, too. Way too many bugs.
Every one can thank Google for dropping the pixel 6 at the price they did this forcing other companies to compete with Google's low price . Consumer wins in the end
I got it for $290 for that price it is literally the best possible option. (Traded in s10e , applied student discount, and there is $100 off on a sale) also it's unlocked
Nvm it had a defective display, I sent it back got a refund, and bought it again and it also had a defective screen. So I had to be on customer support for days to get a promo code to buy back my old phone. I am just done with Samsung for now.
I agree with you but those cameras are good also the give the pixel 6 a run for the money the 4500 mab is great as well for around $500 bucks it’s a steal I would suggest it any day it’s solid
I got it for $608 tax included (21% mind you) and I feel like that price is just right
The base price where I live for the 128GB version is $825 btw.
Nice glad you’re happy with it.
How is the keypad for a diehard blackberry keyboard user who now needs to figure out what to get now that my Key 2 is broken.😢
S21 fe or S22+ ? Getting S21fe in 732$ in Nepal with Exynos variant. No discount
Hey man! I'm wondering if I should get this or the flip 3 for 699?
This is my new phone, and I am SO excited for it to arive 😍
I just picked this up for $399 unlocked Amazon 👏👏👏
Very nice!
I love this phone! I've had mine for a month now and it's perfect for my needs.
Bought the Verizon version with trade in and got it for 250 great deal
I’ve been researching the s23fe all day. even put my s21fe on the marketplace and actually got a very good offer. After my research plus pros and cons I think I’m going to keep my s21fe. I don’t think it’s worth the upgrade this time around. If the bezel on the s23fe wasn’t so thick I would have definitely upgraded. I just hate the looks of the bezel. Other than that I don’t think I’m going to see a huge difference between the two.
Question is, is it worth it to pay extra for 8GB ram as a regular user or not?
6gb of ram should be enough for android 12, but future versions of android might be more ram intensive so it probably is worthwhile to get the 8gb version. The ram boost feature might mitigate the need for large amounts of ram as it loads background apps into virtual memory on the ROM freeing up some ram, but it's an imperfect substitute.
It's worth it if you get the 256 storage version since there's no SD card expansion but when it comes to the 6gb and 8gb version you really can feel the difference but the 8gb will give you better performance over the years
Glad you came around on this sleeper . It's one of my most used phones an I have the ultra and the flip 3 . And with a trade, come on it's a no Brainer
To me the ultra is a home phone
@@marufio huh ....ok???
But SE21 (even SE20) in India comes with Exynos chip. Major reason why the SE models don't sell much here.
That stinks.
here in the uk we got the s20fe with the snapdragon but the s21 fe is now exynos 😔
Eyxnos 2100 is not bad as Exynos 990. In fact, I believe that, like they did with S21 (not FE), S21 Fe it is getting optimized through updates. S21 nowadays is working very well.
@@Mike.Tech. We didn't we get the snapdragon 888 here in the UK.
I don’t know why Samsung doesn’t release their FE phones alongside their flagship phones it would make more sense to do that.
They did s22 out near same time
Has the battery backup improved ??(compared to when you first received this device)
I just ordered this phone got it for 250$ brand new unlocked from Samsung themselves
Nice!
I purchased my S21 FE from Best Buy for $499 (activated), and together with a Pixel 4a 5G trade-in, my net price was $275. The phone is a tremendous value at that price. Aside from having to spend a 1/2 day tamping down the Samsung bloatware (something I wouldn't have had to do with the Pixel 6), I love everything about this phone. Glad you've reached the same conclusion, now I know I'm not an idiot! :-)

Great deal!
Great content! Just subscribed! Question, Best buy currently has this phone at 519 through verizon and it also has the galaxy s22+ for 749! Those prices are for the 256GB. I'm not sure which way to go, because the s22+ is usually 1049 for the 256gb and both of these phones are top of my list with the plus only offering the better camera and I'm not sure it's worth it for that alone. Help! ha
It's Snapdragon for the US though. Other regions get Exynos. Is it as good, does it make any difference?
Exynos is generally considered not as good as the Snapdragon but I can't speak from personal experience
Why would you get this over the A53? I'm torn... I'm also looking at the Oppo Find X5...
I agree with you that it is a great phone at the price now. But when it first came out, you were spot on with the timing and pricing from Samsung. I’m interested in a comparison between the A53. But on another high note I finally received my Galaxy Tab S8 with the slim book cover keyboard. After a month and half 🤦♂️😂
Got mine for $499 unlocked from Best Buy. Price should have been sub $500 to start with.
Nice!
Great got one for wife same price Best Buy 2 months ago I like it she loved One+7t didn't wanna another phone but water condensation in backpack bag took care of that. She tried to save it got all back accept carrier phone signal got electrical static pop when she plugged in 3rd time trying to save it. Had to change few settings to enhance battery life good now.

Got s21-FE unlocked two months ago for wife for 499, with tax $529. Had to make some changes wife complaining bout battery life changed refresh rate 2 or 3 little changes works good.
S21 FE is an absolute steal here in the UK at the minute can get it on a carrier where it only works out £270 for the phone thinking of just going for it from my A52s then if I don't like it due to the battery I can sell it on Ebay and even make a profit.
Did you get the s21 fe in the end? How are you finding it? Where did you get it for £270?
@@grimesey7 On contract got it cheap monthly plus £200 cashback few months ago it's a decent phone cameras are excellent, performance is OK battery life isn't the best though.
At those prices it's a winner, plenty of bang for your buck, especially with Samsung's new update policy
Yup. For sure
How much will samsung give for S21 FE though if you want to use it to upgrade to Z fold 4 ? I don't think $500 ? If Samsung gives $600 for S21 FE then that's $150 plus their $200 samsung credit stuff. Thats $350 extra. It's a very good deal
It's a discounted Snapdragon 888 device (also on the S21 Ultra btw) that carriers like T-Mobile are giving away for free with an eligible trade-in. Absolute no-brainer. Wish the screen was perhaps a bit smaller (for better one-hand use) but it's a very modest complaint in light of the long list of things that are right with this device. Hoping to use this speedy machine until 6g gets released 😎
In our country, S21 is around $708 and S21 FE is around $625 for the base variants, which one would be a better buy?
I would go with FE.
@@TechOdyssey Thanks for the reply
@@arfizurrahman4992 sure thing.
I got my unlocked 8gb 256gb model on Amazon for $650 and it's great but the only thing that feels weird is the video stabilization on the phone idk it just feels different than it does on my s10
S10 has optical image stabilization whereas the s21 FE does not. Samsung removed OIS after the s20 so the 21 line and 22 do not have this feature.
@@marufio lolll! You sure??
Just got the f21 fe for 290 euros, which is like 290 dollars right now really happy

As you should recommend it it’s a grate phone. I been using it for a wile now and I do see why people have dismissed it. Great review as always. Thanks for staying true
Upgraded from a Galaxy S9+. Can't find any way to change photo size in camera settings on the S21 FE like I could on the S9+. 😕
is the pixel 6 better than s21 fe
but the pixel in my country is 4g
They’re about equal. If 5G is a concern grab the S22 FE. It’s a great phone too.
Meanwhile in my country all we get is 750eur for base model, but they come with free A22 with which I have nothing to do whatsoever.
I just got the 256gb model with 8gb RAM for $600. I am very happy with it. A huge upgrade from my previous s8 active.
Nice!
what's the main difference in this phone and the s21 and s21 plus 🤔
a completely different and anew camera sensor and setup.
No ultrasonic fingerprint only optical.
Flat screen for the win. 👍
Looking to buy a phone can't decide between the pixel 6 or the s21fe which would u choose
Lmfa0! When you said The F-U Edition! WoW! You said it! Comparing phones to vehicles! WoW! Good point!!
Didn't know Jon Moxley's brother reviewed tech
I bought the s21 fe yesterday from Amazon at 550$ gonna get that 5% back to babyyy!
No better bang for the buck around this price.
Anybody else had issues with burn in? After just a few hours of use, I've experienced burn in on mine. I had the screen replaced at best buy and now I've got a replacement through Samsung care and they all have burn in after just a few hours of use. I noticed mainly on a grey screen, which sucks because I use my phone in dark mode and it becomes noticeable at times. It's definitely soured my experience with it. I also notice some touch sensitivity issues with it. It sometimes doesn't respond to touch. I'm way passed my return period too.
I have had no issues over the month I have had mine. That is really weird. Maybe you got a defective one.
Works perfectly for me no issues
No issues whatsoever.. Works perfect..had no problems
Locked phones in 2023? Only in America. I'll look at the s21 fe for my next phone
Watching this video on my s21 fe the 8gb version it's a very good phone. It runs games and basic function very smooth and the display is very beautiful. I would highly recommend it to anybody in the market for a new phone at this price point
Nice! Glad you’re enjoying it.
I just got it for 290 dollars 😃😃
Helllo bro, do you still recommend buying the pixel 6? I'm still interested to buy this phone because of the camera mainly. I noticed this phone got so many complaints... Could you please tell me shortly what are the main issues with this phone?
I sold my P6. Too many bugs.
I got it for 550$ got it today and watching with it!
Nice! That’s cool!
$549 for the S21 FE is a brillent price: If it's £549 for 6GB RAM+ 128GB ROM and £619 for 8GB RAM+256GB ROM in the Uk then this smartphone is priced perfect. The FE should be 100 pounds/dollers more than the topend of A range smartphone and 200 pounds/dollers less than the S22 . This is where this smartphone fits on scale!
Before it was £70 less than the standard S22 , which I was thinking this is a wrip off for an FE model to be at £699. I would have said to myself the S22 would be better in terms of being a £70 difference between both models...
I'm tempted but that battery and camera have me unsure
As opposed to what? It’s a 4,500 mAh battery.
@@TechOdyssey the refresh rate is not variable and battery tests prove it's not stellar, I'm torn between the Pixel 6 and this. If it drops to $500 it'll be a no brainer
So I bought this and now I hear, that e sim is DISABLED and it doesn't support dual physical sim (yet?). Can anyone confirm this? Need dual sim capability. This is ridiculous.
Samsung specs online claim this phone has 8gb of ram (all current shipping versions in the US). I'll see when it comes.
They have an 8GB model. I have the 6.
@@TechOdyssey do you have any info on noticeable speed performance bet. the 6 and the 8GB RAM? thx
@@aprolifix I do not. But here’s the thing. As long as you aren’t using all of the RAM you have, you won’t notice any difference at all. When you are using your phone a certain amount of RAM is already being used by your phone (about 1.5-2gb), so usually you about 4GB free with a 6gb phone. The largest apps on the App Store take about 4GB, and this is something like Fortnite or Genshin Impact. This pretty much maxes out your RAM, but the good news is that since you are running a game like this you aren’t multitasking or doing anything else so you won’t have any issues. Running multiple apps on a phone like the Fold or S22 Ultra for instance, means a larger RAM requirement, or when using DeX and using several apps at once. Even that shouldn’t really be much of an issue with this phone. If you get to the maximum amount of RAM uses by loading a bunch of apps, it will start kicking programs out of the active memory to make sure you have enough available and then If you go back to an app you had open, it will reopen it for you. I have not run into any RAM issues with 6gb of RAM phones or higher in years. It’s perfectly fine. 8 is nice, but 6 is perfectly fine. The extra RAM is just a buffer for large scale multitasking and needed for things like high resolution textures on 1440p screens.
@@TechOdyssey Great post, thanks
