I gave this one to my mother. She wanted Samsung, so I was kind a limited in options. Anyway, It was less than 500€ so for that price tag, It is a good deal. A very different proposition from the 750€ of it´s release.

This phone is recomendable for

        I Think It's a Way to Save Battery tho. When Yhu Run a Heavy App And Yhu Quit or Run a Music Player in The Background While Yhur Phone is Locked, When Yhu Open, Yhu Will Notice The Refresh Rate Drop... To About 24hz.

            Vincent , 25 May 2022Anyone got issues using a USB type c headset in this phone?... moreYes, same for me. Looks like Samsung is pulling an Apple. A usb-c to 3.5mm adapter should not be blocked. I tried my gf's xiaomi adapter and got this message...

                  Anyone got issues using a USB type c headset in this phone? I tried using one and I get a "the device connected is not supported". How do I fix this?

                    Monwa, 02 May 2022Should I get the galaxy s21 FE or galaxy A53… both exynosIf you got some extra benjamin to splash, why not S21FE? A53 is decent and might be a good bargain, but you get previous flagship chipset on S21FE and the main 12MP alongside the telephoto 8MP sensor was really good. If you prefer flagship performance in terms of gaming or photo/videography then S21FE pretty good deal, A53 though got a larger battery capacity and almost twice cheaper as well.

                      Anonymous, 10 May 2022which version is better for 8/256, exynos or SDIf you concern more on stability and battery endurance, I suggest you to get the SD version instead. I'm currently using Exynos version and to be honest, the CPU performance is good enough for day to day task but I take Adreno still outperform the Mali GPU slight ahead on gaming department. But talk about battery life, Exynos version drain the juice quite fast.

                          I have this phones' Exynos 2100 based one. The display resolution is 1080x2360 according to CPU-z. It's display width is the same like Note 10 lite, but height is 6 millimeter shorter. I love it being a bit shorter than those 6.7" inch displays, but with the same width. It has S22 series display ratio of 19.5 by 9. It has no radio. 3x telephoto resolution at 16/9 mode: 2252x4000 (9 MP) and at 4/3 mode: 3000x4000 (12 MP).

                              Never imagined the battery to be that bad. 4 hours SOT max, phone last barely 7 hours in total. Have to charge at least twice a day. And this, just normal whatsapp use. Advanced user, no applicable background apps running, dark mode etc.

                              Seriously Samsung?
