- you have twice the battery power (if you use your phone for internet, calls, videos, gps etc. you can run out of juice at the end of the day and you'll be unable to take photos)
- your camera will probably have bigger zoom and flash
- it's easier to compose photos using a camera (even compact one) with faster AF and two-stage shutter button
- you'll have to splash a lot of money on a decent camera phone to match the quality of a $500 camera

The photo clarity of my old Nokia N8 and 808 pureview cannot be overtook by any smartphone or any other costly camera currently or even in the future also. But sadly buying a new battery is not possible now. So I am just keep running them for alarm only (always in the flight mode).
You cannot force anyone by saying that they must use digital cameras to take photos as if all smartphone camera sucks in clarity.

Please stop spreading your intention that smartphone cameras are fit for nothing other than video calls.
The usage of any elec device varies with each and every person. Ok?.

Jacke, 29 Feb 2024I'm not a cinematographer either, but for example when... morebecause everyone have different preferences, some people like natural look, some like other thing, some like shooting in manual mode,some just wanna point and shoot,some prefer raw uncompressed non processing photo/video, some prefer AI post processing photo/video, some more focus on photo,some on video, 8k30fps 4k60fps 4k120fps and a bunch of stuff. so you can't really figuring all that out just from other people inputs especially online. so yeah, if you're in comfortable situation where you able to easily buy it cheap to test and then selling it,or you could go to your local shop and then testing the phone yourself, that's just much wiser i guess
in my opinion if people really into camera, they should have dedicated camera, combine it with their phone, so if you okay with the photo on your phone, buy camcorder for the video, if youre okay with the video on your phone buy dslr for the photo. at the end of the day if you really into it, then you're gonna do some post processing yourself,editing yourself, maybe print the photo or put the video in whatever, and you can't expect one device like phone camera to magically have a great raw result,let alone for the archive, it might look great now on the phone/laptop screen but 5 years later who knows

I prefer to find out before buying from someone who had or has this phone and avoid unnecessary transactions.
Samsung corrected sharpness in S21 FE model, but it had a hot Snapdragon 888 and a shorter battery life, so from the point of view of these attributes S20 FE seems to be a better option for those for whom lower sharpness of video is not an obstacle...

It is the only ... moreThats great thanks for info but like I said I use phone for recording videos a lot and as far as I saw watching youtube content about camera comparisons also reading some reviews Galaxys S20 FE seems to miss sharpness when switched to ultra wide 4k 30fps thats why I was wondering if thats how this phone is or it is just software issue or something else?
Now I have a chance to buy one practically unused since 2020 been sat in someones drobe for over 3 years, basically condition is new 8-) but only that thing Ive just mentioned stops me before final decision to buy it
