RandyRiffin, 18 Oct 2021Look, the S20 display isn't better than S21. Yeah it h... moreI know that on S20 you can t have 120hz on 1440p and you cand only have it on 1080p . But at least you have the choice if you whant speed or quality . If i whant to play a game in a great quality 1440p 60hz i can choose that in S20 or play in 1080p 120hz for speed .
I had S21 in my hands and S20 , and sure S21 is fast , it moves good, but the screen quality is not quality , you can t have quality on resolution that was top 8 years ago .
S21 is just a S20 FE with 8k Video with a price bigger than S20.
On S20 you can do everything you can do on S21 , but on S21 you can t do everything you can do on S20.

I think it has more to do with Samsung trying to get people to buy the most expensive out of the S21s which is the Ultra of course or their hilarious and ridiculous flipping phones

The S21 is overpriced garbage is what it is
1080p, crappy exynos and no sd card slot
Even the S20 FE is better and cheaper than this lol
I hope the S22 isn't a disappointment like the S21

Although it didn't really show its percentage, so a battery widget could solve the problem!

I have a Samsung watch which pairs beautifully with my s10. I believe that you can also use the watch with iphones but you may not be able to enable all features and I'm not willing to take that chance. At the moment I can use my watch as phone both for receiving and making calls, receiving and sending emails, receiving and sending SMS's, as well as Samsung health and many other features. I'm not sure which ones I would continue to receive with Apple. Having said all of that I am also very happy with my s10 and would be happy to upgrade to an s21 or hopefully s22.

Most 6.0-6.2 inches phones have 4000mah battery or less. All other phones having 5000-6000mah battery are about 6.7 inches. Might not seem a lot but all extra area is used for the battery as everything rest is the same. For Reference s21 ultra is 6.8 inches with 5000mah battery.
Also Iphone 12 had about 2800mah and iphone 13 has 3200Mah. Both are 6.1in.
You cant ask for better battery but yes processor should be Snapdragon or atleast a choice would be there.....

They often heat up, but Snapdragon 865 was better for gaming and battery life!
If you're unsure about this, iphone 13 is the best way to go, at least for the pro max!

I blindly bought it thinking that Sansung would have provided a premium Android product, unfortunately it wasn't the case and I ended up regreting the purchase.
Super powerful phone with just 4000mAh battery, a standard which was acceptable five years ago, when the phones were less powerful and did not have 4k 120hz displays (Their competitors for similar specs fitted a 6000mAh battery, 1.5 times bigger).
If you don't optimise the phone by reducing the refresh rate to 60hz, disabling 5G connectivity and all other features that you paid the premium price for, the battery will not even last a day.
As I said to their engineers "it is fitting a Ferrari engine in a Fiat 500", you got extreme power but it cannot be handle by such a small car; and for this reason you say to the user that you have to limit that power or it will be too dangerous (ridicolous).
Basically you paid for all those extra specs, but you will not be able to use it or you battery will literally last half day.
I complained several times, but Samsung customer service keeps fooling me with silly excuses like updates or a single app in the backgroud draining the battery.
I owned several different phones and I have never experienced this kind of problems. However, even when totally optimised, with all the app in deep sleep, the battery barely survive a day with normal use.
Ironically the battery life was one of their strenght and they used to make jokes about Apple's phones having poor battery life.

Definitely not worth buying it, with 20 to 30% less you can get a better phone from their competitors

I'm not a gamer, just use it for social networking sites mainly whatsapp video calls. Being the smallest battery in the S21 line up I think it's quite acceptable at least this phone doesn't overheat like it's predecessors with exynos chipset.

Aside from battery, I get slightly over 4 hours of screen time.
I must say after pealing that awful screen protector, my screen got good amount of scratches. Non of them are bad, you can't notice when screen is on, but on black it's awful

Maybe then they could even have a bezel less display or with hole punch! Or even if they still put a notch with face id, at least give the option for using fingerprint!

RandyRiffin, 18 Oct 2021Tell me more about your situation with iPhones. How's ... moreI would say the battery life is definitely good on the 13 pro max, but for tasks, I don't remember how iphones that lagged when it comes to tasking, it still runs as quick as it was and I don't think you should run into issues with Performance, you could throw at something that you would like to do!
Face id is seamlessly secure, but not secure enough for mask users, unless you have the watch series 6 or 7 to actually unlock your phone even with a mask on!
But who am I kidding, mask is trash, and I don't find this as useful for different places!
Did Crapvid really made this year trash!
