The s20 has the 1440p option whereas the s21 only has 1080p but where the s21 really shines is portrait mode

I preferred the S20 to the S21's camera shots. The one thing which these blind camera tests has always revealed is that... In real life, people would always prefer the pictures with warmer notes and punchy contrasts, as opposed to the more natural looking ones, no one really cares about natural looks in real life... We just want what looks best... That's even why people use countless of filters on social media.

I bought the Galaxy S20 last year, and apart from the new design, I don't really see a reason to upgrade. The small S21 seems like a small step back in different aspects that I personally care about.

I bought the S20 for my fiancee last Christmas and the iPhone 12 Pro Max for myself about a month ago (switched from Note 10+) and I'd never recommend S21 if someone already got S10 or S20. It's a waste of your money for there's not enough improvements unless someone counts switching to plastic in S21 and S21+ as an improvement (which I doubt). Stick to your phones, guys, unless you really need to upgrade. I had to because of my job, otherwise I'd still be using my Note 10+

I guessed A. I’ve heard how they’ve worked on color accuracy and accurate saturation. Looks much more realistic, but looks more appealing on S20.

The more I see reviews of the base S21 model, the more I'm convinced that this is the variant I want over the S21+ and the S21 Ultra.

But on the plus side the 120 and the flat screen the resolution of the screen is just fine with me, I pre-ordered the s21 it should be here tomorrow now seeing the plus model in person I’m having second thoughts.

Several features I'd absolutely miss from S20 that Samsung shouldn't have taken away from S21: SD card slot: I already have several 512 sd cards for my camera, drone, laptop, older phones. (The base storage is 128g on S21, ffs. For reference, one minute of 8K video is 0.6g) MST on Samsung Pay: I won several free meals from store owners who bet that Samsung Pay wouldn't work on their credit card machine. (I don't carry my wallet on a short trip.) Smaller size: I wouldn't underestimate 2mm width difference.

I'm upgrading my galaxy s7 edge to s21. THAT UPGRADE.

Samsung did the SD card removal again!!! Hopefully they make a fan edition version with a microsd card. Personally I have no issue with the slower speeds of an SD card if it means I can have a large amount of bulk storage independent of my phone.

This particular review is the reason why I bought the S21, I can say I don't regret it.

How about a comparison between S20 FE and the S21?

I love your reviews! Totally shocked you didn't mention a deal killer for a lot of people...they removed the headphone jack on the S21!

Any difference with the speakers or do they sound pretty much the same?

Got them right! Selfie gave it away thanks to no beauty mode.

A shows Samsung dialed down their "look", good improvement

The ultra camera is better but the s21 wide angle is just a bit wider than the ultra.

Thank you I am convinced ! I love my s20 but I woke up a morning and saw the $700 trade in value for the s21. I couldn't resist since it was just $95 for the 128gb to upgrade BUT ! First I didn't know the s21 didn't have sd cards... so I opted for the 256gb which came out to $146. My second issue is the RAM coming from the s20 with 12gb I am disappointed that the s21 only comes witg 8gb of RAM.. other than the sd card and low ram I am happy to have made the switch. I like the s21 design and the plastic back cover ! Finally No more glass in the back !

I liked the S20 pictures more than the ones from S21

Love how natural you sound and how you speak its very enjoyable to listen to

I really like S21 over S20 (I' currently owning that) on various parameters, especially the huge back panel, kinda appears sturdy. But I believe s20 does perform very well even it's getting 3 years since release and can use it for another 1-2 years

Well, Samsung makes it pretty easy to switch from S20 to S21 for 100 bucks.

I guessed right, mainly for the less saturation on the 21.

So the on exynos version photos could be completely different?

Great video. Will the s21 be a upgrade over my note 9? Thks in advance

7:15 Biggest design leap has been the Samsung S8.

I had preordered the S21 and was trading in my S20 for it, until i found out that the S21 had taken out SD card option, so that was something i did not want to compromise so i cancelled my order. Im happy with my S20 and 1TB SD card, the minimal difference between both phones not enough for me to want to upgrade especially since they took out alot options from new S21, If you have an S20 seems more like a downgrade

Did you photo shoot in Irvine ? these places looks familiar :)

I thought A was s20 and B was S21! I am impressed how good the images are!

Honestly, who is really considering an upgrade from S20 to S21? I cannot imagine many people really doing it or been in the position to do so... And yet many reviewers take that angle. The majority want to know what is better/worse of the new device or even if getting the older device right now at half the price is a better deal...

I’m upgrading from an S9 to an S21 plus and although I agree it’s a shame they are removing choice, I can’t say I’ve ever actually ran the S9 at 1440p purely because of the battery life

@MrPabsify

3 жыл бұрын

There's tons of videos of tests that show that you lose less than 1% of battery using 1440p vs 1080p in a complete discharge and real life use. Literally negligible at the lowest level which makes battery life "gains" a complete cheap excuse to use 1080p.

So, no one noticed the deep version of the Mario underwater level at the beginning!?

I noticed right away that A has more dynamic range than. So I assumed that A was the Galaxy S21. But B photos are still impressive considering it's last year Galaxy S20.

I just pre-ordered the S21. I haven't had a Samsung since the S4. I remember rooting that phone and running a custom ROM because of the software issues after a few months. I've always liked that Samsung kinda pushes the hardware department but I've never been a fan of their software. I'm glad they seem to be remedying a lot of their shortcomings. Coming from a Pixel 3, I was most concerned about the camera but it seems like Samsung does seem to be catching up in that department.

Samsung camera is better than Pixel imo. I did a blind comparison with 10 of my friends between the S20 and Pixel 5 and all of them liked the S20 photos more. Samsung phones are really the best for me. They are the most consistent with all aspects across the board

Does anyone know if cases are interchangeable for these 2 phones? The side-by-side shot looks nearly identical aside from aesthetics, so just wondering.

How did the fingerprint sensor perform?

I have the S10e and still don't worth it to upgrade IMO! Traded it for the S7, and it was totally worth it then! If Samsung makes a S21 Ultra Mini... With same specs but smaller screen and size, I would DEFINITELY upgrade for it! The S21 is just not enough for me to consider, and the S21 Ultra is huge! Maybe next year!
