        Thank you for the quick review. I'm not sure if you guys have the proper equipment to test something: PWM.
        The S21 failed for me because I got a terrible eye-strain and headache after 30 minutes of using the phone. Otherwise it was a great device and still looking at Samsung. I'm only hoping for the S21 FE to have a rather high PWM flickering (above 350 Hz is good for me) to not cause such things.

                S21 Fan Edition....seriously, more like Failed Edition, its dead in the water even before they start selling it. Blind freddy could have told you it is definitely not what the Fans ask for.....No SD card, No 3.5mm Jack, with and only 6gb of Ram in Aust for the 128gb version or pay more for 8gb/256gb on top of the hefty price....seriously? I bet any money, it is doomed to fail spectacularly.
                You will be better off getting the s21 or even s21+ which was on sale for the same price as this rubbish s21FE; its got everything better built Victus glass back and front + 6.7inch, bigger battery & screen is a bonus, cant agree with those wanting smaller screen.

                    After confirming this phone had no MicroSD, i just bought S20 FE, so far so good. Some people probably don't care about it, but for me MicroSD slot is a must, to each of his own.. in my eyes, S20 FE is a better all-rounder phone.

                            Don't get me wrong it's a great phobe but why is the price like that👀

                              Anonymous, 07 Jan 2022This device should have been canceled. Huh? No way. It's a good phone, it's simply that Samsung needs to price it more competitively.

                                So why would anyone get this over the regular S21 and S20 FE, which are now cheaper than ever in many countries? A decent phone for sure, but the pricing seems really off to me.

                                Also, OneUI 4.0 - it'd better be smoother than V3/3.1, which is an amazingly powerful skin with nicely laid out options and menu, but struggles to maintain consistent framerate across the UI.

                                  I quit reading about the specific phone when I find out it does not have microSD slot. However, just to be transparent, I could not care less about audio jack missing, it is a blessing not to have one! So glad I got S20 FE 5G on sale - best purchase ever.

                                    They're right, it's more like "Collector's edition". S21 would be cheaper when S22 begins to sell, and there's S22 which is better.

                                      [deleted post]They are selling the most smartphones in the world and have been doing so for well over a decade. That's maybe a reason they're "the kings"?
                                      The S21 series is the benchmark for 2021. The Ultra never got beat. So, it's a pretty good foundation to make a budget flagship off. Would I personally buy one? No, I prefer the full cutting edge experience, so I tend to buy the Ultras or lately the Flips. But for those who wants an affordable phone with a flagship experience, this beats the buggy mess Google managed to brainwash influencers into promoting a couple months ago.

                                        There's plenty to learn from Apple, but not this environment friendly without charger micky mouse bullshit!
                                        Not buying any phone without a charger, it's like buying takeaway coffee without giving you a paper cup.
