Owned it for 6 months. First Samsung with decent battery life since purchase it,but got worse with latest updates. Few days ago I decided to downscale to 60hz and I'm getting 8h to 10h of sot! After owned so many phones ,this is definely the best buy ever everybody should consider as rher s not any cons and lots of customisations and quality.100% recommend .wanted to buy something else but there s not point to spend a 1000 pounds or more to get the same or less

Because everyone else is enjoying this device. Or you are acting like 10year old and everything should go normal on their own?

Battery life - I can get 8-9 SOT with 24h usage time. This is not mediocre for android device.
Face and finger recognition - very fast and responsive.
Maybe if you have screen protector this somehow reduces the effectiveness of the sensors.

I had dozens of flagship phones from different brands and I'm sure I'm able to compare. You are acting like I'm 10 years old with your questions and comments.

Can you see pixel on full hd contents? I highly doubt it.
You can use samsung cloud, gmail cloud... for storing photos, videos.
What's wrong with exynos? I didn't noticed anything slow on it. Neither my friends.
What's wrong with your fingerprint sensor? My works fine even if my finger is wet.
Probably all high end phones comes without charger in the box.(I had 5 type c chargers already. I think you had atleast one too)
What kind of bugs? I didn't noticed any major bugs regarding new software. Maybe some applications are with bugs but that's not samsung problem(and those app developers quickly fixing it).
Maybe you have lots of stuff on your phone that's why your phone is not snappy?
Most applications you can disable/uninstall.
Why do you want change it? What you will achieve?
I was using s8+ and then huawei p30. This s21 is huge update to huawei p30. Atleast for me

I admit this phone(exynos 2100)
Cons:
1. Amazing colourful display
2. Exynos 2100 is a very decent processor(i am not a gamer)... Only video editing, video recording nd social media usage.
2. Battery is too good( 6.30to 7 hrs~ SOT) after latest may 2022 update
3. Sound quality is too good.
4. Portrait mode in rear camera like dslr
5. Solid build quality, great haptics, ip68 etc
Cons:
1. Little bit heat up while video recording
2. Charging is slow(1 hrs 10 min take time 1 to 100% 🔋⚡
3. 120 hz little laggy when i scrolling YouTube and camera(while video recording)

Anonymous, 30 May 2022Can you explain why? What's wrong?Well, I admit I was probably too harsh, but this phone is mediocre at best. It can't be a flagship if:
- it has mediocre battery life
- mediocre charging speed
- Only 394 ppi density, although I'm satisfied with a display
- Only 128GM of internal storage with no expendable options
- Exynos instead of Snapdragon
- Not so reliable fingerprint scanner
- Terrible face recognition
- No charger in a box
- Rushed updates that are often with many bugs
- Scrolling is not so smooth
- Overloaded with unnecessary Samsung applications
- You can't set different resolution in camera for taking a photo, only different aspect ratio
That is in no particular order what bothers me about this phone. I was using Huawei flagships for years and they were much better, but now without Google services, I cant continue with them.
And I don't like Apple, so Samsung was a logical choice, but huge disappointment.

I'm constantly researching more on how to extend my device's battery life and I hope these things will help others as well here.

Hmm it could be true but I didn't tried it yet. I'm satisfied with my exynos device after ADB commands optimisations and disabling some useless programs(onedrive, dual messenger....)
