Thank you for reviewing this phone!! I have the S21 myself, and I bought it almost around $250. I love the S-series than the A-series. It was my first time switching to a flagship premium phone, and it hasn't given me issues at all except for the battery life due to its small battery life. I would rate this phone as an 8/10. I love how it loads up games, makes calls faster, and launches applications quite quickly. Best decision I've made for a 3 year old flagship phone. 👍

The exynos version suffered from serious overheating on the upper left corner of the phone. It got uncomfortable to hold and affected the battery life. Otherwise it was a really nice phone

@IanTheGabriel

2 ай бұрын

This has been a constant problem on all Exynos models, it's actually kinda sad but it is what it is. Even this Snapdragon version, I could confidently say that it also doesn't have the best battery performance so there's that.

Hi bro im coming from an lg g8, and the battery is pretty ok, so is its battery perfomance better than lg g8 or the same?

@IanTheGabriel

Ай бұрын

Well according to my research, despite the S21 having bigger mah of battery (4000mah), the G8 and S21 have similar average screen on time. I would not say that the S21 has better battery life than the G8 since it's built so spec heavy with 120hz screen, fast charging (that generates a lot of heat) and a powerful chip (that isn't quite optimized for battery life). In S21 vs G8 battery life you'll get similar experiences at best, however you'll probably be getting a used or pre owned S21 and it probably already has a bit of degraded battery. Couldn't be so sure tho because I haven't used the G8 myself, take use of this information as you will.

I talked about heat issues in the battery section, it happens mostly on using games and camera. I also talked about screen imperfections in the display section, but to prevent it you just need to be careful with your screen by avoiding putting heavy pressure on it, and by not using max brightness all the time.

Just bought one for my mom for less than $200 USD (on Amazon). Terrific phone, my brother has one as well, and I can see no functional difference at all between my S23 and the S21 performance-wise. On paper the S21 has a less powerful processor sure, but in real life it can easily handle any task/game as well as any of the current 2024 flagships. Also I saw in a news article that the S21 series will get updates between May-June to include some of the current s24 AI features (AI translation and circle to search; I already have these on my S23, but they are coming to the S21 too) For fun, I compared it to the 2024 samsung midrange phone A35... It exceeds in every single category (except future software updates I guess if that matters) and the S21 has lots of features that the A54 doesn't, yet the A35 costs more (around $400 currently). It's kind of amazing that such a premium phone as the S21 is available at such a ultra low price point.

​@user-re5dl3ir3h that's right. It's amazing how Samsung treats even their old flagship phones. The S21 really is a gem of the generation.

Look my friend, im really irked up with your camera samples, How dare you could show them as "Edited w lightroom", They must be STOCK photos and they shall be judged purely on that basis ONLYYYY. In that case i'd bring a 6 year old Nokia phone and edit its photos showing them Superior to the iPhones or Pixels. This ain't a good practise, you must change it.

Not all of the shots are edited in light room, some shots without that label are the actual stock photos. I was trying to convey that this camera is able to get really good images and ofc the light room edits don't have any resolution enhancements or anything like that. However I still agree with your feedback and I apologize, next time I'll try to at least put a before and after edited, or just lessen the edited images in general. But for this vid, you can pause on the images that are NOT light room edited if that helps.
