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!

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!

Yeah it has 1440p, but you can only view it at 60Hz. You say that the difference is notable while gaming, well you won't benefit with S20 while gaming, as you will not be able to game at 120Hz if you want high res!

                    This phone has the same amount of features as the S20 FE, but it costs more, so maybe it's worse? Actually, no, one thing this phone does have is a compact size, which will win many over.

And don't even get me started on the worse battery life. Sure, S20 has a micro sd card and higher resolution, but how badly do you need those stuff? Surely, you would want a better, more accurate fingerprint sensor on the S21, right?

I’m thinking about switching back to the S21. Annoying things like having to toggle to get to the numbers on the keyboard on iPhone, all on the same screen on Samsung. Siri is as dumb as a rock compared to Google for voice commands, but I’m not sure that capability is even available on the S21. There are other UI capabilities that make the changeover difficult.

                                And when you play a high graphics game on 1440p the difference is a lot bigger. If you buy a smartphone that cost 750$ or more to use it only on social media the difference is not that big , but on games on 1440p is a pretty big difference.
                                I had S21 and S20 in my hands , i like how S21 works , it is fast , but the display quality is noticeable and is not ok for that budget. ANd about 120hz at least on S20 you can choose quality or speed.

But the downside from this model.. it's just a one day phone. If you use it more casual like me it can last 1 day and a half if you permanently remove all bloatware and useless apps, they only consume battery life. I use it mainly for social media, news, some video content and I like to shoot a nice beautiful scenery sometimes. So this device was perfect for me , around 649€ with a small discount. Also I didn't want to spend like a 1000€ + for a flagship phone since I owned a A71 at the beginning this year which also had an excellent battery life. But I didn't regret the switch and I gladly sacrifice some battery life for a smaller, faster 120hz phone. As for your wifi problem I would ask the store where you bought it , maybe they can help you.
