Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G review

16 January 2022


Sort by:

the truth is S20FE didn't actually have a good battery life. I bought an exynos version with a very good deal. but sold it after 4 months although I have to pay for 2 years. the reason was mediocre display, device heating and bad battery life. the battery life I used to get was nowhere near the review time posted by gsmarena. I think this time it might be rather realistic with S21FE.

    S20 FE 5g Endurance Test (120Hz) - 110 hours (60Hz) - 118 hours! S21 FE 88h - 92h

    You see how inefficient SD 888 is. Stick with S20 FE 5g, it was 480 euros during black friday, will be that cheap again soon.

      Aierlan, 17 Jan 2022In most EU countries you have to pay around 20% VAT on top ... moreYou should look on that store and see that's not the case. You'll also see the comments, some of them made few days ago from European countries.

        I stick with my s20fe sd865 8/256gb i buy in Black Friday here in Brazil 11/2021 for BRL 1700 equal of U$ 315

          'You can barely see anything of Android as One UI completely overhauls its interface.'

          And that's the software cancer right there.

            There would be no reason to get this. What Fan Edition? I am a user, not a fan. It is too expensive for what it offers. Why? Just because of the Samsung brand? Any similar spec phone from the competition is better and cheaper.

              "We carried our video test again at 120Hz, and it dropped by 2 and a half hours. This brought the final endurance rating down to 88 hours."

              Just when I thought the displayed 92 hours of battery endurance rating was already bad enough, static 120Hz mode decimate it even further. Either way, that's way off from the S20 FE. Looks like the S20 FE won't be dying anytime soon.

                Rate

                  Like i said previously, this should've come out with a €599 launch price. €750 is totally wrong. Unless Samsung does a big price cut in March, when the S22 models are easily available, S21 FE will fail...

                    Aierlan, 17 Jan 2022In most EU countries you have to pay around 20% VAT on top ... moreYou're right,but that aforementioned site is offering delivery over their EU warehouse,so in that case you won't have to pay for custom fees and VAT,if you're living in EU.You choose their 'Global priority' service for shipping.Have ordered few devices using that method and it is working fine,and smartphone does come with Xiaomi.eu firmware.
                    In this case,Mi 11 Pro for €550 is possibly the best buy right now.Personally,would pay €200 more for Mi 11 Ultra...

                      So it basically has the same battery score as the Exynos S21 but with an extra 500 mAh. That's quite dissapointing...

                        Omer, 17 Jan 2022500 euros?? Where did you see that? Over here (Netherlands)... moreIn finlad store Elisa there was a promotion few days ago: S21 FE 499€ + Free Samsung Buds Live. Now the price is back to 630€ without gifts.

                          Anonymous, 17 Jan 2022Today a great choice is Mi 11 Pro with Xiaomi.eu software a... moreIn most EU countries you have to pay around 20% VAT on top of that as well which is not included in the Trading Shenzhen price. Some countries also charge customs duties so there are additional costs. The actual price of the phone itself is good though. It's the same price now as the Xiaomi 12 in China

                            I wanted to know is this amoled e3 or e5?? And also 8bit or 10bit?

                              Why must the fe get a mirco SD slot and charger when the flagship s21 plus doesn't even have, it's only fair

                                I think the sole purpose of this device is to make s22 look like better value in comparison.

                                      LOL here in Vietnam we get the Exynos version. And the price is quite high, it's just a little less than the Galaxy S21 (base 8GB - 128GB).
