What's the difference between G990 and G990B?
The S21 FE will be updated to android 15 or 14? due to the fact that is coming with android 12.

samsung has disappointed most of their fans again...i was waiting for s21 fe from last 6 months and wanted to purchase it but now it's of no use because it is - s21 be (ban edition).
1. very expensive.
2. no charge in the box.
3. imp no snapdragon processor in india. why only usa and china gets snapdragon processor?
4. no 3.5 mm jack... still most of the cars don't have bluetooth option... at that the 3.5mm jack plays very important role.
5. one of the most imp slot is memory card but no memory card slot in s21fe... sorry s21be ban edition.

sd gen1, sd 888 and exynos 2200 are terrible at power management, still sd 865and 870 are the best value for the money performers without compromises

Haiol, 20 Jan 2022Big mistake!!!!!!!Yes, I've made my own fair share of mistakes. Mainly because I'm old enough to remember when there were no mobile phones or PC's or the Internet. We got along just fine before this wonderful technology became a reality. The trouble is that too many people, especially young people, are consumed by this technology. They're not out playing football (soccer here), basketball, throwing the frisbee around, going fishing, etc. They're too busy Facetiming or using Duo, playing Halo, or just sitting around and texting. The one thing Social Media is not is social. You're not with anybody.
I'm sorry if I offended anybody in this forum. At the same time, I meant to point out there is life out there outside of your 6.7 inch diagonally-sized screen.

Anonymous, 18 Jan 2022Looks like you hardly use your S20 FE and it can't eve... moreI loved my self-righteous rant. You know why? Because every word in it was true.
First of all, in terms of your rant regarding battery life, I always let my phone battery completely discharge about once a month in order to allow it to continue to store as much charge as possible. That takes about 48 hours to get to 0% charge.
Secondly, the fact that so many in this forum can't put their phones down for a period of time is a sad commentary about technology today. I still get three print newspapers delivered every day. Why? Because I enjoy actually reading a newspaper or a book. A little newsprint on my fingers means that I actually did something. Any idiot who gets their news from social media deserves the misinformation they are presented.
Lastly, I have a life away from my technology. Unfortunately, many of you in this forum do not.

BS phone. It's launch price is higher than the regular S21 currently. Had it not been for the Huawei ban, Samsung S series sales would be nowhere to be seen.

I just received a S21 FE and was disappointed to learn there is no FM tuner (after being told by sales staff that this phone does have an FM radio). Note that the specifications listed by GSM Arena is not clear that there is no FM radio. The FM radio was the deciding factor in my purchase over the Pixel 6. Had I been given correct information, I would not have bought this phone. Otherwise, this is a very nice phone, but there is a bunch of bloatware that the Pixel 6 supposedly doesn't have. I like the build quality, the color (muted olive green), and the fact that it comes with Android 12 right out of the box. The package that I got included Buds Pro for an additional $30 and they sound great! Just wish they stayed in my ears better. Perhaps I should get some ear muffs to help keep them in?

At 550€ it becomes unbeatable.
The basic S21 is slightly better, because it has a better display and 2 GB more RAM. It is also more compact. Although this FE model may have one more major update than the S21, since it already comes out with Android 12 (so it should be updated up to Android 15, presumably).
Samsung offers well-crafted updates and long software support, a well-maintained UI. It is unbeatable in the android world.
So no comparison to Realme or Asus. Samsung is way better.

Samsung fan, 17 Jan 2022No matter taxes and price,but does it worth it with the fea... moreOf course, if you don't like features of this phone, design and price, you shouldn't buy it :)). Thankfuly we're living in time when the ultra luxury Z Fold 3 is cheaper than what phones that could barely send a text message cost just 20 years ago. It's nice problems to have.
