Anonymous, 14 Jan 2021That doesn't change the fact that glass is 70% more co... moreyes it does - do you need heat dissipation is actually a valid question when designing a computing device to an extent weather a heatsink is used or nor. As for plastic or glass back it's negligible just because most phones with a glass back don't use it for direct (via pads/paste/solder) heat dissipation.

Your Xperia gives garbage video despite higher bitrate. Shameless company can't even get software right even though they manufacture the hardware

these phones (except the ultra) remind me of tesla cars, great and fun to use software and hardware, and the build is...not perfect, there are things they can improve but its ok

Anonymous, 14 Jan 2021The zoom is literally just a crop on a cheap image sensor. ... moreWell the $600+ S20 FE has a 3x optical zoom camera, while the $800+ S21 has the crappy 1.1x optical zoom camera. Go figure.

Anonymous, 14 Jan 2021Why ppl want phones to have new camera sensors every year?
Because the camera offers no upgrade over the previous generation (Cough, pixel 5), and the camera sensor I am talking about is the 64MP 1.1x optical zoom which is used in S20/+ as well.
S20 FE, which is a $600+ Samsung phone in 2020, has a 3x Optical Zoom camera that is better than the $800+ S21 in 2021. If you don't think there's a problem with this, idk what else to say lol.

Anonymouse, 14 Jan 2021No Micro-SD expandable storage option means it's a no ... more4K@60 with lower bitrates samsung offer probably do not take even 30GB/hour.
If the phone can resist all this time before getting too hot.
Anyway. Pointless to keep 4K vid on phones you cant watch in 4K.
Class 10 micro sd cards have less than 100Mb/s. Better use internal memory for video recording.

notafanboy, 14 Jan 2021QHD on a phone = gimmick. Change my mind.Because oled for mobile, unlike TVs, have pentile arrengement.
Oled Full HD has sharpness of HD LCD.
This has impact when seeing photos, watching videos, reading.
Even games look better with more resolution.

Andreidinutu, 14 Jan 2021We dont know how much it heats up yet.That doesn't change the fact that glass is 70% more conductive and will dissipate heat instead of trapping it. With a case on a plastic phone you will have double the heat trap.

vrvly, 14 Jan 2021If you imagine some top models from other brands lack more ... moreThe problem of having 3, 5 and 10x, it is the fact sensors are too small.
Module would be even thicker with a 1/2.6" behind 80mm lens.
Not all brands want 50, 60 or 100MP just to say it has 8K.
20 is more than enough.

Minus the Ultra model the only difference between the S20 series and the S21 series is that the S20 series are way better, like for the 1st time ever Samsung made phones that bore me, the S20 series of last year are way way better than the S21 series(minus the S20 ultra and S21 ultra)
S20 series:
You get a charger in the box
Glass protection
SD card slot
Full 144p resolution
No difference between the cameras on the S20 series and the S21 series
S21 series:
No charger in the box
No SD card slot
Plastic back for an almost $750 and $900 phone
Downgrade to an 1080p resolution
Same camera setup as the S20 series
Really disappointed at Samsung this year
