Originally I was going to go with the FE but I decided to see what they'd bring out. My logic was "Well clearly they made a lot of improvements for people like me with the FE (flat screen ty jesus, better battery for me. Etc.). Maybe they will do even better!" LMAO mistake. I'm either going to a OnePlus or FE.

The fact that there is even room for comparism with a 2019 s10 just means Samsung did a shitty job with the s21.
For real no charger ? That's just ridiculous

The S10e was a chance to beat it, and every step seemed like samsung tried really hard not to excel in the photo department. Every year I'm looking at a replacement for my Pixel and every year it's a massive (and expensive) disappointment, including the Pixel 5.
The only good thing is that GCam ports exist.

Honestly, if they would have just reused the presentation from last year, not many would notice.
Or perhaps switch the tone and instead of saying "10% faster, 10% more light" just have a comparison saying "20% less pixels, 100% less SD card, 100% less charger". Not that it matters anyway.

S21 series is instant failure and should not exist

Failure. I am S10 user and I litterally getting downgraded device with s21 after 2 years time. Shitty plastic, same memory, same shitty cameras, no 3.5mm and no chargers or headphones, flat 1080p shitty screen, wow Samsung. Really? For what I will pay those 850 euros? Game over Samsung bye bye, s21 ultra should be the only device in s21 series and cost 850 euros, but obviously people think Smasung is good, well good luck people dealing with this nonsense Apple and Samsung trying to shove your throat, I am out from this BS.

At least samsung has a good trade-in program. I'm gonna trade my s10e for 550 dollars and buy a new flagship phone, the s21 vanilla with 250 dollars which is pretty darn good in my opinion.

Though they use so called fast sensor, when stacking, multibayer takes exposures simultaneously - faster. Because of small dimensions of phones, stacking is important as it improves output quality.
They try to imitate a fullframe, but fail to understand its a phone. As opposed to samsung which try to make full size cameras look redundant. Cannot imagine sony making such bold move.

Downgrade fro... moreDon't forget for the snapdragon version s20 has 12GB RAM
I'm never going to anything less. This is the most garbage release they've ever done.
Only upgrade is the CPU which with less memory is worth nothing . I'm never going back to less than 12GB my phone avrages at 8.5 GB used
And no I don't want an ultra or even a plus. The regular sized one is perfect and the only reason I don't get a not is the size. Also SD card. Because note 10 was going to be perfect but samsung has to screw something
