Weekly poll results: the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE arrives too late

16 January 2022
The Galaxy S22 launch is too close, so people are excited about the models. The price that is higher than the Galaxy S21 isn't helping.

Sort by:

I keep saying it. They should release FE 1st then after a week release the S series. The end.

    I think all the polls that rate phones "hot or not" should have an option "no headphone jack is ice cold".

      Anonymous, 18 Jan 2022Wait until 3 years, see which phone holds out the longest. ... moreNow it hasn’t changed.. Samsung quality is top notch I agree.. but Apple has huge issues. Samsung is making phones here in India with world’s largest factory. Whereas other than iphone 13 series… the rest comes with subpar battery. In fact the biggest downgrade is the apple’s limitations of 3rd party repairs not supported.. resulting in faceid breakdowns.. The repair cost of iphone 13 pro max’s display is 80k. People in US buy the same phone brand new at a lower price than the repair price here. No, it’s not our taxes only.. then why is samsung s21 ultra which is so much cheaper here in India compared to countries like singapore, dubai etc

        Even $1000 Mi 11 and sub $1000 ROG Phone 5 has motherboard issue where phones won’t start because the UFS module is dead (thanks to overheating). No iPhone or Samsung has this issue unless you abuse the phone till a memory corrupt happens.

        Your country has lots of OnePlus phones exploding here and there.

        iPhone had poor quality in the past. Now it’s changed.

              E-FE series are cheaper versions of S-series. listing S21 FE more expensive than S21 makes no sense. go buy an S21 or if you have the cash, wait for S22.

                  Hello Life, 17 Jan 2022BTW using oneplus 7 pro.. 3 years down.. Will receive andro... moreI have 2 main reasons why I won't buy a chna brand:
                  - my political views and opinions are totally in conflict with theirs. I'm against having a social score, or having to connect to the censored network with face ID, having concentration camps for people with different religions or sexual orientation, working people to death, making children work, throwing toxic waste into the ocean, accepting to work for less money, thus affecting the whole global economy etc.
                  - 2nd is quite simple: No SD card slot = NO BUY! I don't care if the specs are from the future! : No SD card slot = NOT INTERESTED! This is the main reason for choosing Samsung (until now). Now that they decided to remove it, I'll switch to Sony. Because I care more about the SD card slot than anything! (I don't own the brand or have stock actions so I'm not a blind fan just because I have a Samsung - that's dumb af!)
                  No china brand has the SD card slot on a high-end flagship, except for the pig-farmers who-a-who, which I never liked and never will. I'd rather use a flying pigeon with old school pen and paper than use one of those. 😆
                  I hope you can relate to what I'm trying to say. I have DIGNITY and I have the PATIENCE to wait before buying a phone if it's too expensive.
                  I only mentioned Apple because everyone's praising them, even though I don't like them at all. They're only advantage is that they make solid, quality phones with good software upgrades (but with a nightmare of an OS from my point of view - PrisonOS).
                  These are the only phones that I would buy right now: https://m.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nRamMin=8000&nDisplayResMin=3686400&chkHRR=selected&sFreeText=snapdragon&sAvailabilities=1&s5Gs=0&sIPCerts=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10&sBodyFrames=2,3,5&sOSes=2&idCardslot=1&nOrder=1

Will receive android 12.. which is like what.. 4 years of major software update.. and 5 years of security updates? QHD 90hz Display. 6.7 inch,.. displaymate number 1 at the time of launch made by samsung.. Completely notch free.
                    Only mainstream 90hz phone at that time. Metal and glass build.. Corning and 7000 series aluminum. Unofficial but tried and tested waterproofing. One of the very few phones to support super fast charging at that point of time.. Stereo speakers.. 90+ gsmarena endurance rating.
                    Best phone of the year award from most youtubers and tech reviewers.. even gsmarena itself..
                    Camera DXOmark more than Exynos S10+ and Iphone X series..
                    So yeah you like to buy quality and Chinse phones only last few months.
                    Guess you just became a troll unintentionally

I dont like chinese goods myself.. not becuase they cant't make quality..they can.. until this year...oneplus had the best software.. with longest support regarding OS in android world..They do make glass.. metal and quad hd displays.. "only teenagers, grandparents and technical illiterates are the ones that buy china brands" you are the one who is illiterate here.. trusting only samsung and apple,, yes apple never had network issues right LMAO.. heard of antenna gate? Apple doesn't have poor hardware? Their ipad pros literally bend like butter.. what about bendgate of iphone 6 and 6 plus? what about galaxy note 7 blasts? What about samsung pushing the whole world an inferior chip which overheats and charges more for that? You overlook all this and still say chinese phones lasts only months.. why? because they are CHINESE.. This is what I say illiteracy is.
                      Hear something from a literate person here... Every chinese phone above 700$ have metal and glass build.. many have QHD with high refresh rates.. and have software support for more than 3 years.. Whreas a 1000$ galaxy have plastic back.. a 1000$ iphone have 60hz display.. and a 1000$ ipad bends like paper. There you have it.. your so called quality.

                        I'd rather wait a few months, wait for the prices to go down and raise the necessary amount of money for a top-notch high-end flagship phone from a responsible brand like Samsung, Sony or Apple.
                        And yes, most of European people want QUALITY, not quantity. We'd rather wait than just throw away money on sub-par products that barely make the necessary requirements to be commercialized here in Europe.
                        Say NO to plastic frame phones, FHD resolution on a display larger than 5.5 inches, no IPx waterproof rating, no SD card slot (Most importantly)
                        In the end, it's you who is using the phone, not someone else. Why don't you want a quality product??!
                        In Europe, only teenagers, grandparents and technical illiterates are the ones that buy china brands. Normal people buy Samsung or Apple. Nothing else. Maybe you don't like it, but that's how things are.
                        PS I'd relocate to Japan in a heartbeat if I were you! Peace!

                          Anyways.. still 1500Euros is quite above 2200USD which is still 4 times the average income.
                          And seems like European salary is not quite much compared to US or Japan.. whom I truly consider a developed place. Sorry for mentioning European in my previous comment, because Europe is developed no more.. but a declining clump of nations

                            Hello Life, 17 Jan 2022I don't know.. you are from which country, but you are... more"Most European countries have 5000$ salaries and upwards". Hahaha. You don't know anything about European countries do you?
                            The average salary in most European countries is around 1500-2000EUR. Of course, there are some that have 5000EUR salaries, but average people have 1500EUR. And even below 1000EUR, when we talk about Eastern European countries.
                            So, don't come with excuses about your pathetic country or lie about the situation of European countries.

                            Thus being said, we also care about our money and our purchases. That's why cheap Chinese phones are the worst you can get and many European are staying way clear of them (especially those who had them in the past). Unless you just want a device for calling and messages. But even this basic tasks are not correctly implemented in Chinese cheap phones (problems with signal, no proximity sensors, etc.).

                            The only thing good that Chinese phones have, are some nice specs randomly placed on a piece of paper. Because human minds are easily fooled, some people tend to think they "catch God by the leg" (that is a slang for very big luck), when they think, for example, a 400EUR new Realme GT with SD888 is the best deal of their lives. In my country (Czech Republic) nobody touches that phone, even with that discounted price. Hmm.. I wonder why?

                            Sorry for the long post, here's a potato.

                              LOL, 16 Jan 2022Buy a cheap Chinese Android phone. That's what Indians... moreI don't know.. you are from which country, but you are the biggest ignorant MF I have seen in a while. No we don't crave cheap Chinese phone, but we make our purchases very carefully to get the most out of our precious hard earned money. I work for Mitsubishi. I had the option to move in Japan and work in Osaka.. where they would have paid me 9,000USD .. I choose to stay and work in India, Haldia site.. where they are paying me 1600USD for the same exact work. I believe most European countries, US and other developed countries have average income upwards of 5000 USD.. so a 700$ phone just means a fraction of their monthly income. (In India average income is only 500USD) .. It's not the same here. If I buy this phone without EMI, I won't be able to pay my FDs, rents, bills and tuition fees. SO , stop judging others with zero brain of yours.

                                  S21 FE is nit a flagship, not even close.
                                  Just a handicapped plastic over priced crap.

                                    Am I the only one who think that exynos 2100 is the better chipset compared to SD 888? I mean just look at the battery endurance, SD 888 might win on the performance side by a slight margin but exynos 2100 win by a miles on the battery endurance department

                                      It's a nice and affordable flagship, but it would've made a bigger bang if it released at least 4 months ago. Now nearly every Samsung fan is waiting for the S22 for the more affordable flagship.

                                        is that so hard to understand people like sd cards its practical .....samsung is not listening to customers, one day they will have same %of the market as in china ,less than 1%
