About flicker ? Samsung is known to be the worst at PWM, eye strain on my a53. High amplitude 100mv) and low freq 250 Hz and also modulation ( not fully square wave) ,= big eye strain especially at night ( well, shouldn't look at phone at night either... For sure).
This (SD 888 one) or a54 ?
Exynos not as bad on my a53. It throttle a lot for sure and eats lot of battery but only if you push it, otherwise is good to me.
Sd888 is because I prefer the Sony camera.
Lightweight I appreciate a lot.
For lot of web and social media text and video call.
I tried many many midrange and returned to Samsung, price camera design software s usually well balanced. Except the bloatwares.
Also a21 fe has it many unremovable crapware ? Like those bloaty spyware forced updates battery and privacy and security leakers, Bixby , Knox and all... It should be possible to disable at least, bit usually no way.

However in a month or so, after enabling adaptive battery, deep sleeping unused apps, and turning off connections and services I do not neeed, I started getting easily 5.5 to 7.5 hours screen on time on WIFI. On 4G, the number dwindles to 4- 6 hours of screen on tim

A Khan, 05 Jun 2023It heats upto 53°C in indoor in AC room If you're using the Exynos version like i do....man it's a common trademark for Samsung phones. I think the problem lies in the fabrication process, cause the 888 series produced by Samsung has the same heating problem while the ones produced by TSMC, there's none or minimal heating issue. But overall I'm getting 7-8 hrs of SOT, with average use, so I'm not complaining, other than Heating issue, ofcourse.

Dr... moreI bought this crap (Snapdragon 888 variant) and I've never been able to exceed 3 - 3,5 hours of screen on with 60 Hz display, 5 G deactivated and SOC power reduced to 70%.....and I've never used a game! How did you manage to achieve this miraculous result?

But, this phone is useless to play games, and I'm not saying this because it has bad performance, but because of the battery, for basic things it's more than enough but if you play a demanding game for at least two hours and with 120hz activated, go looking for the charger and the cable because after 4 hours of play it will already be at 20%
So, If you don't have a demand use for a phone, I definitely recomend it without thinking but try to get the sd variant, the exynos one Doesn't worth it...

Theo, 04 May 2023Need a new phone for casual gaming and clean UI experience.... moreGalaxy S 21 FE- Exynos chipset is not battery efficient. Drains very fast. 25 watt charging is not fast charging at this point. Have to charge phone at least 2 to 3 times and I am not even a gamer. Heating issue is for real. Especially in hot climate. Camera is very good with natural colour reproduction. Multimedia consumption is also nice due to class leading SUPER AMOLED 120 Hz screen.

Planning to get a phone for casual gaming and clean UI experience. I'll be using it for at least 4 years so longevity is a factor as well. Should I pick the S21 FE(exynos) or the Nothing phone 1? Does the S21 FE (exynos) heat up too much due to casual gaming?
