    Slime2, 20 Jan 2022Yes, I've made my own fair share of mistakes. Mainly ... moreYou're quite right. The hassle is our generation invented this technology!! We created this monster. Social media certainly is anti-social. Take care!!

      Kriegsherr, 24 Jan 2022yeah. I bought one and ended up selling the exynos version ... moreexynos performance improved a lot starting from exynos 2000 it's performing very well next to sd888 and doesn't have any heating issues. I guess this is a misconception, gone are the days when exynos really sucked.

        Hi, 01 Feb 2022Does the s21 fe 5g have an update for zooming, like its now... morewhy do you even care about those zoom levels, you should care about the native optical zoom, in this case 3x and anything beyond that is a digital crop. If you want a longer range zoom, opt for phone with a 5x or 10x periscope cam but I wouldn't take photos beyond 10x as quality will be really bad anyway ..the only exception is taking a photo of the moon because Samsung does magic on it.

            How is this possible that the S21 FE has almost the same battery test score as the regular S21 when the FE has 3,5h more phone call time and 1h20 more in the video test ?

            Is this an error ??

The first one is what we used as a number in the review performance section - 63%. But when taking screenshots later (from 3D Mark History page), it seems we took the wrong screenshot - obviously it's from the last run before the battery went to 0%. So, the number 63% was indeed correct, but the screenshots were from the wrong run. Sorry about that and thank you for noticing!

                    So I've sent GSMarena a message on this website and an email since they posted this review, but no response. They did the stability test with the phone starting at 13%. On all Samsung phones I've used, performance drops after 15% and is terrible after 5%. Looking at the other benchmark scores as well being so low, I can only imagine these tests were done in 20 minutes by someone in a rush, which sucks a lot considering how many people use this website when making a choice, and they re getting straight up bad info. Shame on you.

                        Hats off to Qualcomm, every new chip has worse battery life.....Apple is Killing you. Android saddled with these guys and Google with all the ads

                          As soon as I realize there is no microSD card slot, I stop rading about the misfortunate phone. When it comes to the 3.5mm jack - I could not care less, in fact, better not to have 3.5 jacko. if the charger is missing, then the phone sould be cheaper. Am I right or am I right, you be the judge!

                                  Zalrasyad Z., 23 Jan 2022exynos 990 is terrible for sure but the exynos 2100 is way ... moreAhmedSLL was replying to Slime2 that is using a S20 FE with Snapdragon. Slime2 been saying his S20 FE has good battery life, so AhmedSLL suggest he tried a S20 FE with Exynos 990. Maybe you should read the comment thread a little before trying to act 'smart'

                                    got the 256GB/8GB RAM for just $589 here in Malaysia to replace my S20 FE. sold my S20 FE 5G for $430, so i ended up spending just $159, no regrets.
