                  My s21 Fe is good and I recommend it. Only complane might be the battery life but it never game me problems because I'm not doing anything that's recources heavy and it gets true the day. Display, camera, is good. Did some gaming tests and it preformed well. Overheating could be another problem but it's only on heavy gaming.

                                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.

When I first bought it, I did not get more than 3 hours S.O.T. 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.
