With my phone company in Canada, I get a free upgrade every 2 years. What I do is call the loyalty department and see if I can get the best deal possible.

    In this case the company's already offering the S21 for free. So if I can't get the S21 ultra, like my initial goal was, I'm happy to upgrade to this one.

    I appreciate the advice on the flickering. I'm looking into that now.

      S21 is AMOLED screen compared to P30 lite's IPS, you will have difficulty adjusting at first. Few fraction of people get headaches. Please google "PWM flickering".

      Other than that, s21 is good, no h/jack, buy wireless headphones.

          It's not that I don't want high quality, of course I do. Who wouldn't want a bleeding edge display, performance and camera? What I'm trying to say is that the S21's display is MORE than enough for your needs.
          Tip: If you have the S10, then don't upgrade to the S21, if you are on an older phone, then get the S21. You will get key benefits: Great performance, battery and charging, and small form factor (which is important). If you don't care about those then look elsewhere.
          You kind of caught the catch. Notice how they didn't name the S21 the S30. Because they knew that S21 wasn't meant to be an upgrade to the S20 but rather a sidestep, an expansion of choices, they could have called it the S20s but that's weird

                Hey all. I've currently got a p30 lite and I'm considering the S21 5g as an upgrade.

                I know nothing about Samsung phones, and this would be my first one. I'd like to know if it's worth it. I'm not concerned about the plastic back, since everyone is 50/50 on the matter. I take great care of all my devices.

                I'd like honest recommendations about how this phone is and/or Samsung phones in general.

                  RandyRiffin, 19 Nov 2021You have S21, and it's not compatible with iPhone 13. ... moreWhat are you trying to suggest. IPhones are not fully compatable with Samsung watches as many features are lost. There is no email, messages etc., just as an Apple watch is not compatable with a Samsung watch. It may tell you the time but nothing else. The whole purpose of a smart watch is to mimic the same features as your phone.

                            RandyRiffin, 19 Nov 2021NO. You cannot see the difference, when the phones are up c... moreWhen you not see the difference there 2 options : 1 you have a problem with your eyes.
                            2. you don t whant to see it or admit it.
                            Puting 1080p old resolution an quality in the same sentence it is funny as much.
                            I have some friends that still have 1080p TV Screen and say that no one whant better .
                            But that is the problem is you don t whant high quality doesn t meant that no ones whant that.
                            And the most important thing is about budget , this phone should be named S21 FE and cost 400-450$ and no one had any problem.
                            But when you name S21 and last year you made S20 , in theory S21 should be better than S20. But in this case is exactly the opposite . S20 is far better in every way . Better screen quality , 12gb ram and smaller price. S21 only has better cpu.

                              RandyRiffin, 19 Nov 2021NO. You cannot see the difference, when the phones are up c... moreI can easily see the resolution difference between my 1080P S21 screen and my 1440P S10 screen. And with a 720P screen it would even be easier to see the difference. But does the difference bother me? No. The S21 screen still has other things that are great. And I would never trade my S21 for an S10. In my use my S21 has been so much better than my S10. Even though I can easily see the resolution difference between the two.

                              Plus only $300 out of pocket for my launch S21 256GB? After my s10 trade in? That was a sweet deal. Plus I got $200 worth of accessories free as well.

                                I just got S21 for my birthday and I'm lovin it. Big upgrade from my previous phone wich was A7 2018.. S series are simply the best for my needs.

                                  Anonymous, 17 Nov 2021S21 display is clearly not high end . 1080p can t be high e... moreNO. You cannot see the difference, when the phones are up close. Listen, I have a Sony XA1 (720p screen), Pixel 3a (1080p screen) and S10 (1440p). Even if I put my eyeballs to the screens, I can't tell the difference between the resolution of any display. Maybe between 720 and 1440 if I zoom in on text, but only then. But what I do realise is the low brightness and bad lcd viewing angles of Sony, and amazing color accuracy of S10, these are the stuff that matter the most. So S21 having 1080p is no matter to me, as it still has one of the quality displays on the market.

Woahh 4k resolution, so sharp! The reality is, most won't notice the difference.

                                      Mir, 18 Nov 2021No glass is strong ..either it is gorila or elephent glass.... moreNope. Gorilla glass victus is very drop resistant, although not very scratch resistant.

You think that because of this 1080p display, it's ruined. Actually, no. Compare anything to this in this price range, S21 actually puts a fair fight. Against Pixel 6, S21 wins in display and performance, and even battery life and charging is similar. Against Oneplus 9, S21 has better cameras and battery life (albeit worse charging).
                                        Now, you might be thinking that S20 FE or A52s are better deals, and you would be right. They have almost identical displays and (largely) cameras yet are hundreds cheaper. If so, then get them, but personally, S21 is better for me, just for that small size and one handability.
                                        It's like choosing Pixel 4a over Oneplus Nord just because of its compact size even though Nord's specs are better.
