Samsung could have taken the opportunity to create a 4G-only version with Snapdragon 870. That chipset is still more than good enough for average consumers. Also, this has a huge potential of being the smaller version of the S21 FE.

Why 4.2 This is a terrible phone. Especially the Exynos variant. Hanging most of the time. Battery life is terrible. The sound is extremely poor. The Speaker sound from this phone is like an early 2000s Chinese phone. I am using this now for 6 months. And Galaxy Note 9 Snapdragon. Still, Note 9 Snapdragon is better than this. This phone is worth 3.5 Not 4.2.

reiki0809, 14 Oct 2021yeayeayea keep going on comparing screen just based on the ... moreFirst off .I have S10 and before that i had s10e . Both phones has the same cpu , same gpu , both has dynamic amoled from the same year. And if you whant to tell that you can t see the diference betwin display quality your eyes had a problem or you don t whant to admit. But if you play a high graphics game the difference betwin s10 1440p and s10e 1080p is a lot bigger , the details are a lot bigger .
Second i had in my hands S21 , sure is super fast , but i can tell just by looking at screen that is not a premium quality display . And if you install a high quality game and play it the quality difference is bigger even at that big screen 6.2.
On S20 at least you had the option to choose if you whant quality or speed . S21 has the specs of S20 FE and bigger price than S20.

The Snapdragon 888 chipset has an embedded 5G modem, so it is rather pointless to make a 4G version of it. If Samsung uses Snapdragon 865/865+/870, that can easily be a 4G-only version since they require an external 5G modem.

Got it as replacement for my S8 work phone. It looks nice, nice camera, good specs. Real fast and very good display, pleasant to read.
Still, after half an hour I tried to return it to my employer, but it's the default phone we have to use it. The amount of bloatware on it is unbelievable. The amount of 'features' and permissions you can not disable is astonishing. One of the most expensive phones out there, and you have ZERO control over it. For me it does not feel like a mobile, it's a tracking device. I regret it will spend most it's life switched off in my bag instead of in the hands of someone who appreciate the product

aaronwt, 18 Jun 2021I want the phone to be as fast as possible. The a52 5g has ... moreYou talk about 5nm cpu ? True the new cpu is the only thing that is better on s21 than s20. But i very doubt that in daily use you can see how fast that cpu compare to the last one. Plus even the new cpu is better, s20 also has more ram on 5g version 12gb vs 8gb , so that would help.
I don t care about fingerprint or face id because i don t lock my phone with a code, i don t work at nasa to have nation security level.
But more important is the screen quality , they downgrade the screen to only 1080p just like a mid-range smartphone to reduce the cost for production but they did not reduce the cost of the phone for client.
That is the big problem. So if the phone will sell at that price that means that most clients don t care about the specs and only care about the new shiny thing.
And if that works what is stopping them to use 720p next year or in 2 years. How low can you go?

Anonymous, 16 Jun 2021What S21 has and s20 doesn t have ??
S20 has 1440p if you... moreI want the phone to be as fast as possible. The a52 5g has a midrange processor that is much slower and less efficient than the 888 in the S21. Heck I think it's supposed to be even slower than my old S10 was.
The S21 has an integrated 5 g modem and the SoC uses the 5nm process. While the s20 5g modem is not integrated, uses the 7nm process and uses an older, slower processor. While the a21 uses an 8nm mid range SoC and is even slower than the S20.
The s21 uses UFS 3.1 for storage and the S21 uses slower UFS 3.0. Then the A52 has even slower storage than the S20.
The screen of the S20 has 1200 nits of peak brightness. While the S21 can reach 1300 nits of peak brightness. The A21 is down there with only 800 nits.
The S21 can access more 5g bands than the S20 can.
The inscreen fingerprint reader on the S21 is larger and faster than the one on the S20.
The S21 has an adaptive refresh rate for the screen.
The s21 has longer battery life that the S20. Because of the more efficient SoC and the adaptive refresh rate.
These are some of the reasons why the S21 is a better phone for me than the S20 is. Then you throw in the lower price for me for the s21 and it was even more enticing.
For my use of cell phons the S20 doesn't come close to what the S21 gives me.

S20 has 1440p if you whant quality screen ( you know all the phone is screen) , 12gb ram version , s21 has only 8gb version , micro sd card , and all of that with a lower price . S20 is cheaper than s21 .
The flat screen is a downgrade for some of us . But this is
If you don t whant quality screen why not buy a52 5g ? It has the same display quality .

Anonymous, 15 Jun 2021Why on earth will you choose S21 over S20 ?
In my countr... moreBecause in my use case, the S21 is easily better than the S20. Even if you offered me the S20 for free I would not take it. I like the S21 that much more. Heck, the flat screen on the S21 alone is enough for me to want it. Not to mention the other advantages it has over the S20. And $300 after trade in for the S21, 256GB, unlocked is very inexpensive.
EDIT: I just realized this is an S21 non 5G thread. And that phone does not even exist. Obviously I have the S21 5G phone.
