Anonymous, 17 Apr 2022It’s Exynos processor my last phone was Snapdragon however ... moreat the moment i have the s20 fe 5g sd and the problem is the daylight that you can't see well. I have big hands but it's uncomfortable. I already had the galaxy s10e and it was very good and is still a good phone. I think the s21 is the ideal size. thanks for listening

    Mixa , 16 Apr 2022hello, I'm thinking about getting the s21 since the s2... moreIt’s Exynos processor my last phone was Snapdragon however this thing is super fast. So does’t bother me, Thing i love about S21 is slim not that tall really as i thought, i can reach easily on the screen as Iv’e big hands. I think the snapdragon/ Exynos debate is either here or there with one ui , phone is very well optimised i dont see lags its an absolute joy to use. I read one review where it beats iPhone 12 . My friend has the iPhone 13 and i feel my colours are better seems washed out on 13. It’s hard to find this model now, as S22 is the newer model. I looked at S22 6.1 vs 6.2 isn’t a huge difference, personally id want the 4000 battery vs 3700 and slightly thinner as by the time i add a wallet/case its still amazing not bulky. I hope that helped and i cant wait to see what one ui 13 14 etc has in store for us

                      I love Galaxy S series and have followed it for years but the s21 has given me nothing but trouble. It's got great battery and camera but that's it! People have trouble getting through to me, I only know I have a missed call because I get a text telling me. I get cut off in the middle of calls constantly. I'm with EE currently but I know people on other networks with similar problems. Wish I'd saved my money and stuck with my old phone! Even considering iPhone next time 😒

                        If you want good battery life, never get a small/compact phone. Is just physics.
                        My past S21 was very bad at battery life (I hardly got 5h of SoT). Compared to my also previous iPhone 12 (which by the way didn't had a very good battery life either), the S21 was worse. Also, it got heated pretty quick if I started using it more (and then when it got very hot, it started lagging). The iPhone 12 stayed relatively cold in similar tasks. But the iPhone had other minuses, of course.

                        Just get the Plus or Ultra variants in Samsung phones (never get the smaller S variants). I learned my lesson the hard way with Samsung small phones. Had both the S20 and S21, never again small Samsung phones.

                          RandyRiffin, 31 Mar 2022Yeah good. I want a fast and compact phone. but are these w... moreThe battery life is worse on my S22. I don't game on my cell phones or tablets. So My S22 lasts me all day like my S21 did. But my S22 battery is lower than my S21 was when I get home from work each night.

                          I like my S22 better than my S21 in every way, except for the battery life. But I have yet to need to charge my S22 while away from home.

                            Anonymous, 31 Mar 2022This or S22?See the differences yourself. S21: Plastic back (for protection but less premium), a bit bigger display and body, better battery life. S22: Glass back, smaller body and worse battery life. Personally, I would get the S21. I'm actually pissed because I can't directly compare the S21 and S22's prices in Australia. You'll have to do it yourself, in your local stores. But, I'd say S21 is $50 cheaper.

                              aaronwt, 29 Mar 2022It might not be much but it is noticeable. The size is very... moreYeah good. I want a fast and compact phone. but are these worth a worse battery life? Don't tell me now that the battery in the s22 is not much worse than s21. Youtube videos show that if you game, S22's battery life gets obliterated!

                                This or S22?

                                  RandyRiffin, 29 Mar 2022the size and performance difference is not that muchIt might not be much but it is noticeable. The size is very noticeable to me. Because with the S21, I needed to shift it in my hand to reach the upper left corner of the screen. While with the S22, I do not need to shift the phone in my hand to reach any point on the screen.

                                  And while the S21 is very fast, the S22 is faster. Especially the fingerprint reader. The fingerprint reader on my S22 seems like it reads instantly. While the S21 seemed like a split second. The difference is small but easily noticeable.

                                        Anonymous, 18 Mar 2022I own a 30month old midrange phone and I want to upgrade. W... moreS21 is smaller than S21 Fe, though I doubt you would notice the difference. Fe has give or take a better telephoto, otherwise everything is the same. So, for a lower price, ofc Fe is better!.. Always get Snapdragon over Exynos. Why is that even a question?
