888 and 888+ overheat in any phone because of the poor chip design, if Qualcomm goes that route again then phones in 2022 will suffer from the same issue.

I love Pleads, but since companies started to use more and more cheaply made OLED screens (cheaply made screen doesn't mean a cheap phone btw) with green tint issues, I start to hate the technology in some regards.
OLED is something you don't want to be cheaply made, same applies to other screen technologies too but especially with OLED it can be extra annoying.

It only goes downhill from there with them removing stuff so no matter what phone you get, you will have to make some kind of sacrifice
If you go to S20 you lose the headphone jack and the heart monitor
If you go to S21 you lose the glass back, micro SD and get a worse screen
If you go for the Ultra which is the best version you still lose the SD and headphone jack

The Pixel 6 really changed the value perspective for more phones. Makes you wonder why they aren't available everywhere.

An $800 phone with 6 gb ram? What is this? 2017? If it's anything less than 8 gb, it's a scam

AlienKiss, 29 Dec 2021No SD card slot, no 3.5mm jack, low resolution display, no ... moreEurope gets probably SM-G990B/DS model which is Snapdragon.
And to those who say it's better to wait S22. S22 is going to cost 300+ euros more, especially if one doesn't want the smallest model and should buy a S22+.
To buy a S21? In Europe we have that only with Exynos 2100 and this Exynos has horrible image processing module, videos look like crap, especially in lower light and especially @ 60 fps. Still pictures are nice.
Overall, S21 FE isn't bad choice even in 2022. Smaller price, Android updates are coming for years, quality cameras and Samsung's color science, a Samsung not Chinese product.

Way too expensive for what it offers. I'm looking to upgrade from my S9+ but I won't shell out 750 Euros for this.
