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 .

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.

      In my country S21 has the same price as S20 5g and more expensive than S20.
      I myseslf use a s10e , but i love s10 and s20 curved quality display (Except the big size). A friend of mine has S10 and another s20 , it is a big difference compare to mine . The only problem that i have with s10 and s20 is that they are to big .
      But S20 has better features with a lower price .
      I don t understand why people would belive that s21 is better than s20 just because is newer , and 21 is bigger than 20 .
      S21 were ok if the price was the same as s20 fe .

        Anonymous, 13 Jun 2021Dude i don t care about apple . If you compare Apple with S... moreThey do it because it saves Samsung money. And they probably have the data that shows that the majority of people run the Galaxy S phones in 1080P mode anyway. Since that is the default setting. And many people have no clue about changing the resolution on the S20 and earlier S Series. They leave it in the default mode of 1080P.

        I've had my S21 since launch now. And while I can see the difference between the 1080P screen and the 1440P screen my S10 had. Not once did I ever think to myself that I wish it was the screen my S10 had. With the higher resolution.

        Plus I never liked those screens with the curved edges. Just the fact that the S21 went back to a flat screen had me excited when it was announced.

        I've been using the Galaxy S phones since the S6 was released. Getting a new one every two years. This S21 has easily been the best deal I've had with a Galaxy S series. Since with the $550 trade in for my S10. The S21, 256GB, unlocked only cost me $300. The trade in prices were higher. And the retail price for the S21 was lower.

        I only hope they do the same thing next year. If they start doing this every year, I might just start upgrading my S Series phone every year from now on. Instead of my normal two year upgrade cycle.

          aaronwt, 30 Apr 2021Not much different than the iPhone 12 displays. And look ho... moreDude i don t care about apple . If you compare Apple with Samsung is like compare apples with pears . Some people like apples , some people like pears . I for exemple hate ios and how it works , but that doesn t mean that is not good and apple products are not good , this is just not good for me .
          But since s6 every s-series except the fe or e edition has 1440p display resolution . Because it is logical to have the best screen when you pay that kind of money . This is the first time when they go back to 1080p display for an s-series when that phone was supose to be a flagship . How can you put a mid range display on a flagship and charge the price of a flagship ?
          I can compare S21 with S20 , they both have the same operation sistem , the same brand
          S20 has better features , better price , why would you ever buy i phone more expensive , less features ,

                why samsung flagdhip are not SD processor

                  Hi. I would like to ask if there is a far easier way to hide apps (not via Settings or Secure Folder) similar to how Oxygen OS (or Poco/Oppo/Realme) implements it?

                    Dan, 13 Apr 2021I see this phone today on demo unit in a store . It is fast... moreNot much different than the iPhone 12 displays. And look how much those cost.

                    The iPhone 12 has a display with 1170x2532 pixels. And costs around $879 for the 128GB version.
                    The S21 has a display with 1080x2400 pixels. But much cheaper at around $620 for the 128GB version.

                    Even if I could get an Apple iphone 12 free I wouldn't use it. I would need to be paid to just consider using an Apple iphone 12. I'll take my Samsung S21 Android phone any day over an Apple iphone 12.

                    The $300 out of pocket I paid for my launch 256GB unlocked S21 was easily well worth it.

                      Honestly it would be impressive for a "Samsung" phone if this was sold around the price of the galaxy a series

                            I see this phone today on demo unit in a store . It is fast for sure , but the display for that price is a disapointment. Don t get me wrong it is not awfull , but that is sure not for that budget .

                              aaronwt, 05 Apr 2021But it doesn't necessarily. Some specs are better and ... moreTrue S20 has 120hz for gaming ,but it also has 1440 60hz for image quality . At least you can choose , on S21 Display is a truly disapointment . Samsung S-series were allways known for best Display quality since the first i9000 S1 , every year they eather update display next year , or at least mentain the same , but they never downgrade display until now. I think they forget S21 and S21 plus are supose to be flagships , not only S21 Ultra.

                                Anonymous, 21 Mar 2021If you whant to buy a new phone now why on earth will you c... moreBut it doesn't necessarily. Some specs are better and some are worse. The S21 has a faster SoC, faster storage, and faster memory. And then if you are using 120hz with the S20 you are using the same resolution as the S21 anyway. Then subjectively the S21 flat screen is better than the S20 curved screen.

                                Even if the S20 were free I wouldn't have taken it. I would have still payed the $300 for my S21 unlocked with 256GB of storage. Since for what I want, it is a much better phone. The only detriment for me between the two is the lower rez screen of the S21. But then if you run at 120Hz anyway on the S20, then I don't see where the advantage is. Since it's running at the resolution of the S21 screen anyway.

How many phones have that? That is nowhere near the norm for a screen of that size. And it would add a bunch of weight and thickness to the phone.

                                  Personally, I almost never fast charge a phone. 99% of the time it sits on a wireless charger over night and slow charges. I specifically use a power supply that won't let it fast charge. So I am in no rush to charge it quickly. I did that with my S6, S8, S10, and now with my S21.

                                    Anonymous, 24 Mar 2021In s21 you will get better battery life, better camera, bet... moreThe battery size is the same as both , Camera has the same resolution . CPU i agree that is better . But paying that kind of money on a better cpu and mid range display when you can have the top high end Display at a lower price or if you whant better you can choose S20 5g it is the same price as S21 without 5g and it has 12gb ram and with 12gb ram it is at fast as S21 with better and weaker ram only 8.

                                      Guys chill this is just romured that the s21 5g will be released coz it's basically the same spec as s20 except exynos 2100 the specs will be different

                                        I think samsung is trying to be like iPhone, very slow with charger, like the 25 watt, it's very slow in comparison to the Xiaomi, I think Samsung could learn a lot from Xiaomi. The new S21 only has 4000 mah, get real, they are going backward a new Galaxy should be 6000 mah with 60 or more watts, maybe 100 watts..
