I bought s21 few days ago,but i'm very disappointed with it due of overheating issue.The phone is get very hot during the video call especially if is used multitasking.
Example:
If your are using messenger video call and TeamViewer at the same time,the phone gets hot and show the message: "Multi window closed.Your phone is too hot.Let it to cool down before use multi window again."
The same happens if camera is used to much.
I've tried to contact samsung costumer service by Samsung Members,but i still not have a answer even it pass few days.
Even the samsung s21 has a good battery life compared with other galaxy devices and has a nice design,i could not recommend dues of this issue and due of quality of costumer support.

Overheats, fast battery drain (6 hrs SOT only) at 60Hz, over saturated photos - this phone is a huge disappointment for $800!

Notannavovk, 01 Feb 2021Hello, you have option in pro mode choose 108 megapixel len... moreHigh megapixels never indicate quality, lol. It only indicates how much you can zoom in a photo. That's why, iPhones never had huge mexapixel lenses.

Selfies are extremely processed. Way more than even normal with Samsung. It's a crazy amount of processing.
But switching over to night mode for a selfie gets a way better more accurate photo. Sometimes even with more detail despite being much less processed.

Just-A-User, 30 Jan 2021Hey everyone, I'm curious as to why the majority of ... moreSome of us take a bunch of photos, esp with real cameras. High res photo can easily take up 8-12MB ea, so you'll run out of that 128gb real fast.

So far, compared to my outgoing S20+5G.
1. Battery life is so far better
2. Adaptive refresh seems to somehow be nicer than the fixed 120Hz
3. Screen is fine
4. Camera is fine
5. Fingerprint reader is much faster, the one on the S20+ is awful, far worse than the one on the S8 I had previous to that.
6. For me, the size is much, much better.
7. Flat screen, really loved my Xperia Mini something or other back in the day and this reminds of that, much better for me. I use a case anyway so curved screens make absolutely zero positives for me.
Plus negatives
1. No microSD card, after looking at how much room I was actually using on my 200GB card I decided it wasn't actually required for me, can fit my entire music collection on it with plenty to spare
2. Memory, well I'm barely scratching half the available 8GB so although a drop, it's made no difference
3. 1080p screen. Hmm, undecided, had to run the S20+ at 1080p to use the 120Hz anyway.
Negative?
1. No headphones? Well maybe for others but they're crap anyway. My current IEMs cost more than half the cost of the phone so why would I want cheap, nasty phones. The free Buds are already on sale too.
2. No charger. OK this one is a definite negative but seems to be the way they're going.
Not been able to check the 5G yet as it's not very widely available near me.

Terrible picture quality, specially when you get closer, image edges become blur. Looks as if portrait mode. Has network issues, specially sending text sms doesn't work always. Battery screen on time only 6 hours even at 60 Hz and always on display turned off. Face ID and finger print both failed multiple times!
