      Very good news. As an S21FE owner I am very satisfied with the device. Really good camera, amazing display. I must say it feels like a different device than when I bought it. Battery life didn't start good but it is really ok now, lasting between a day to a day and a half depending on my usage. Also smoothness didn't start well, the device was always ultra fast and responsive but a bit laggy every now and then. It has really seen some improvements during the course of updates, so I hope One Ui 5 brings some final refinements

        There are no touch response problems, at least for me.

        My only issue is that, compare to Pixel 6 or Nothing Phone 1, when I install app updates, the install time is quite longer.
        Nothing and Pixel install app in a matter of seconds, but S21 FE takes at least 10 seconds.

          They will be back with S23 FE.

            Anonymous, 30 Oct 2022I disagree with you. Try an actual S series not FE, and you... moreYes I am. I also have an S10e. If the sound is good for me, what do you care? Buy that iphone.

              S21 FE is a great phone, but battery life is really disapointing and charging is quite slow (went from midrange oneplus nord).

                        I would not agree that it has poor speakers, you need to know how to adjust the settings.

                              Anonymous, 30 Oct 2022lol you can buy S21 Ultra unlocked for $470 right now S... moreHmm that's strange because in my country in Croatia, EU the cheapest unlocked S21 Ultra with 128GB of internal memory is about 880€ while S21 FE is around 420€. Of course I'm talking about new phones with 2 years of warranty, not used ones. In my opinion S21 FE was about 100€ more expensive then it should be at the time he got out, but now, now I think it's a bargain especially for those who don't want to carry a brick as S21 FE is quite "normal" size phone with its 6.4" screen and 155mm of height. Sure, I see some cheaper solutions but they are not new phones per se as they are "renewed" or just locked as we have example from Amazon where S21 Ultra costs 469$ but it's not new it's "renewed" and locked, so those 2 things are not the same! And fyi in those prices seen on GSM Arena such as Amazon, taxes and other shipping costs are not included in the price. In my opinion S21 FE is a great phone for its price if you don't care for plastic non-premium build and you're not a power user.

                                  S21FE is probabaly best phone among excessively expensive phones around. If you wait for deal on amazon or elwhere for 449€ - s21fe is the bargain.

Just unchecked all apps during first boot. Only left calculator. Now it has some apps but 256GB storage fixes that tiny annoyance.
