If anything I'll probably do the smart thing and get a screen protector or case for the phone. I'm pretty good with all my equipment anyway.

Me, 23 Nov 2021Please disregard the comment Randy. It was a misreading on ... moreHere, I'll answer your post. The S21 is actually not a great deal even compared to other Samsung phones such as A52s and S20 FE. You see, both A52s and S20 FE have 120Hz Amoled, A52s even has a headphone jack and micro sd card slot if you are into that. S20 FE has a telephoto. And they are both cheaper than the S21. Now, to be fair, the S21 does have a compact form factor, which is important for a lot of people. It is roughly the same size as the p30 lite, whereas most other phones are bigger. So, it all depends on what's important.
If you want a compact phone but don't want to spend as much money, you could get the Google Pixel 5 or Sony Xperia 5 II.

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.
