@@bunnydream2087 Yeah, that sounds like a good upgrade! Did you get your S21 yet? If so, are you getting used to Android? Some people have "trouble" going from iOS to Android and viceversa. As for me, if I buy the S21 (which would be my first flagship phone, by the way, lol), I'll keep it for as long as I can. I want a durable phone that will receive (relatively) quick software updates for at least two years :-) So, yeah... I'll keep watching videos like this one and trying to decide whether it's worth it or not :P

@@sangresolida I haven’t gotten it yet, getting it sometime next week though. I got the ultra specifically. I’ve switched from iOS to Android before - I used the S7 in the past. I liked using Android, didn’t have any trouble with it. I’d say the S21 is a good buy though. It fixed all the problems of the S20 - it’s a year for Samsung where they tweaked from the previous gen so the S21 is about as perfect as its gonna get. I can’t say the same about next year though. Samsung might try new things again which may make some parts of the phone not ideal like to S20 was with the gimmicky 100x zoom etc.
Oh no, I just realized the learning curve my mother is about to experience. She's upgrading from a s5. That will not be a fun day for me.

All that paired with the v30 and music sounds really good. But along the way what I also realized is I love the wide shape of the phone, it's ease of taking screenshots, and how light the phone is, and its manual options in the camera have given me some gorgeous photos. But the texting has become an absolute problem. I've tried many different keyboards and unless im recording voice to text i need to go back and correct every word. I wonder if V60 is better for texting?

(This video basically just lists and explains the settings page, and features of the phone) 1. Security and information (e.g. Lock Screen, always on display) 2. Display settings (e.g. dark/light mode, frame rates) 3. Sounds and vibration 4. Advanced features (e.g. side key, motions and gestures) 5. Battery (e.g. more battery settings) 6. General features (e.g. autofill) 7. Home Screen (e.g. long press, navigation) 8. Notification panel (e.g. customising) 9. Camera (e.g. customise camera settings)
Very well done! So many KZreadrs waste a lot of time on things that are not related to the subject. You don't! Your video is informative from beginning to end, without wasting the viewer's time. You speak quickly and clearly. I didn't miss a word. You also kept the screen in focus and in the frame the whole time. You just gained one subscriber and I'll check out your other video. First, I think I need to watch this one again. My brain couldn't keep up.

You should also show the gesture to pass through apps rapidly.. You have to swipe left/right over the "home" bar, it gets you to the app that you've been using before. Another tip that's interesting. Thanks a lot for sharing with us this tips&tricks.
Thanks, having just got my S21, I found this most helpful. I've also got the Smart LED View Cover, although i'm not too sure what extra features it has to offer?
I haven't had a Samsung phone since 199-S, so they is all brand new to me. I feel so much more prepared for this phone now.. This video is soooo cool! Loved all the information it provides. Great job!😍
I changed from an iPhone XS to the s21. Loving it.
Exactly like the S10 +. Awesome. Won't be much of a learning curve as I ditch my 10+ and get the 21+.
Thanks for the video! I followed along with my S21 and feel like an expert now!
I really appreciate this video, I just got the S21 and I made a lot of changes that suit me thanks to you

My s7 edge stopped working randomly. Never switched on ever again. So I got a Motorola G50 temporarily until I decide on a proper phone. So I was hesitant to stay with Samsung. But I guess it could have been a faulty battery charger. So in the end I bought the s21. I'm used to Samsung layout. But many new high tech features. However doesn't always connect to wireless earphones 🎧.
Nice one! I picked up an S21 today. Very responsive and beautiful screen. Came to from the an A12. It was nice, but it kept running out of internal memory and would run out of Ram all the time too. It would be also get laggy. Before that, it was an S7 edge. So this is a giant upgrade for me.
