T the Tinkerer, 08 Jul 2021I like what I see so far. Exynos 2100 for the US? Actually ... moreHad a S21 Ultra, 1 day 22hrs with 12-14hr SOT, this battery hog nonsense is BS you better debon the bloatware and other crap software you're using. As for getting hot it did but not much more than my Note 20 Ultra did, which gets 48-49hr battery with 10-12 SOT Both Snapdragon versions

      And why not IR port also? Тhe only thing that turns me away from Samsung.

          Swapped selfie and main sensor it seems, as compared to s20fe

              32 MP main cam units do not exist. sensors with 32 mp are really small and used for selfie

                Instead of adding 15 cameras, I'd rather have a better display with a higher resolution and higher PPI, but overall it doesn't seem like a bad phone. Major plus for having the SD card slot though!
                But if Europe gets only the Exynos version, I'm not going to risk buying it.
                What up Samsung? Are euros not good enough to buy the Snapdragon version??!
                I dunno why but this smells very racist to me. No, I don't care there's a shortage of chips. It still sounds very racist!

                  S20 FE -> S21 FE
                  main cam: 12MP -> 32MP
                  selfie cam: 32MP -> 12MP

                  couldn't this just be a mistake?! someone probably just accidentally reversed the two

                    Anonymous, 09 Jul 202112 MP should be main, 32 MP telephoto and 8 MP wideHeck no. The ultra wide lens deserves better

                      Prototype, 08 Jul 2021No Snapdragon 888 for all markets, I'm not interested,... moredo you want the worst battery life ever? then go ahead and buy an 888 phone. we'll stick with 865 lol

                          No Snapdragon 888 for all markets, I'm not interested, because of that I will not recommend this phone!

                            I like what I see so far. Exynos 2100 for the US? Actually a sigh of relief considering the horrid battery hog of a chip that the 888 is. 12MP on the front is better than a 32MP binned to 8MP. Maybe the back cam is new? Who knows. I'm looking forward to this.

                              caio, 08 Jul 2021i think that's an error and 32MP camera is the front o... moreYes, it must be an error. It's 12/12/8MP and the 32MP is of course in front. I hoped they will launch it with Snapdragon in Europe but I more and more begin to like the fact they apparently want to launch it with Exynos. The Exynos 2100 has worse peak performance but a better thermal management (not likely to throttle and heat that fast) and presumably a better battery management with less energy usage and so longer battery- and screen-on-time compared to how it would be with SD888. Am I right with this guess?

                                "The camera section lists three modules: 32 MP main, 12 MP and 8 MP. The 12 MP one should be the ultra-wide module, the 8 MP one the telephoto (thus matching the S20 FE). The main camera is an interesting upgrade, breaking away from the 12 MP tradition the S-series has upheld these last few years."

                                How do you can be so sure? It's way more reasonable to see that the 32MP is rather the ultrawide one, uses their already available 1/2.8" S5KGD1, while the main cam is still the usual 12MP 1/1.76".

                                  Jotapb, 08 Jul 2021The reason the S20FE sold so well in Europe was because of ... moreS20 FE has Snapdragon 865 for about a month or two, but it had Exynos 990 from the beginning. Maybe you could correct your guess, huh?

                                    AnonD-936656, 08 Jul 2021It's not the Exynos, it's the Mali GPU, it's... moreIt's because Samsung used a Mali GPU with less cores...check the Huawei Mate 40, it's using a Mali GPU but it's better beca

                                      I guess, S20 FE is has better main camera then this 32 MP module if this info is right. I really don't get what Samsung is trying to do. This 32 MP is actually a 8 MP quad binning cam and S20 FE has 12 MP true. Just my observation.
