Sam799, 07 Oct 2021Got the S21 after a disappointing experience from the S20+ ... moreSam99 I only have one reservation with the s21 and that is the quality of the display. I have an s10 and only use 3040x1440 resolution which is sharp and clear. Has the reduced resolution on the s21 caused you any concerns or have you even noticed any difference? Assuming of course that you used the higher resolution on your s20+..

I used S10 and S10e and the display quality is clearly better in s10 and the difference is even bigger in gaming video quality and they both have the same cpu , the same gpu . And s10e is 5.8 and can still se the difference S21 is 6.2 so is way bigger .
I use for some minutes S21 and i really like how it moves , it is clearly faster . But the display quality feel cheap seriosly .
At least on S20 you can choose high end quality or high refresh rate.
S21 ultra is a beast when you can have both at the same time , but it is way to big and the price it is understable.
And just not forget on a 5G flagship 8gb ram is not enough , S20 5G had 12gb ram , so another downgrade.

Got the S21 after a disappointing experience from the S20+ & I must say it has really been a pleasant experience so far. This exynos 2100 is so different from the exynos 990, no overheating or battery issues on this one which was immense on the S20+ You need to use the phone first before jumping to conclusions. I always had power save mode on on my previous S20+ which was of no help while on the S21 I never felt the need to turn it on, battery life is really good & they've improved it to a great extent on the S21. As far as the plastic back is concerned it's perfectly fine & makes the phone feel so light, doesn't look cheap at all. As I said in my previous comment it's all about personal preference, if you like it go for it if not there are other options available but for me it's a really good phone.

Anonymous, 06 Oct 2021There so many trolls here, saying they will switch to Apple... moreOnly not bcos of 1080p and plastic back but still it will downgrade with smaller battery for coming s22 model, again u will find something more downgrade with s23.....samsung is going with this downgrade policy with their flagship S series in order to force people to switch to their Z series....But some people may not like those flips and folds....If there is an FE version then why samsung need to provide plastic back with their vanilla model......Atleast apple doesn't follow this downgrade policy....Some will remain with samsung, some will go for other brand and some will switch to ios.....I'm also using samsung phones from last 8 years....used 3 handsets and currently on Note 10 have never changed to any other brand and have never thought to taste other brand and haven't used ios.....but I don't like this downgrading policy at all

There so many trolls here, saying they will switch to Apple because of 1080p and plastic back.
Do not listen to them, coming from the S10, the S21 may be the best phone i ever had. Plastic is more durable, less finger print loving and this isnt some cheap plastic. Battery is better and the cameras are much better. Also people always forget this phone is much much faster than any other S series phone. And i will take 1080p 120hz anyday over 1440p 60hz. And for a screen of this size, you should be pixel peeping to find the difference from 1440p

Anonymous, 06 Oct 2021For anyone still stuck on the 1080p thing, there are calcul... moreThe gap betwin 1080p and 1440p is there and is a lot bigger when you play games with good graphics .
For exemple i used 2 phone on the same game with the same cpu , the same gpu , the only difference is that one has 1080p and the other 1440p and in the game the visual quality is a lot bigger than when you use it in menu, the details.
I undersdand that some people prefer 120hz but now you can buy a mid-range phone with OLED FHD+ 120hz , that is display made for mid range devices not for flagship that cost that much.
And if you whant saving battery you don t buy s-series.

Perhaps you use your phone back the front and look at the back when you are talking on the phone. I only look at the face of the phone and could not care less about the back. Who sees it. Durable plastic helps keep the weight down apart from other advantages over glass. But if it suits you better then keep talking into the back of the phone.

For anyone still stuck on the 1080p thing, there are calculators for visual acuity versus resolution out there that are easy to find, eg:
https://toolstud.io/video/screensize.php
With spot 20/20 vision and a 6-7" screen, you have to hold the damned camera up 6-8" up to your face to see the difference.
I'd rather take the power savings and amazing dynamic refresh rate versus something that is practically impossible to ever notice. It's all placebo by looking at the specs unless you have these things glued to your nose all day.

For me it's fine as the frosted glasstic feels good in hands, it's more durable than glass & feels light also you get wireless/reverse wireless charging with it, once you put a case on it there's hardly any difference between glass & plastic.

Why plastic back? Apart from $$$ obviously. I would've picked up this phone but plastic is cheap and nasty for the environment.

I went to buy the A52 but ended up buying the S21 as I was completely blown away by its compact size & beautiful design especially the frame that melts with the camera frame. I still bought it after reading all the negative reviews here but MKBHD review was like a fresh breeze. Got October security patch update while setting it up, after downloading loads of apps it didn't overheat yeah it did got warm but that's the case with every phone. The camera is simply awesome, speakers are loud enough, 128 GB is enough for me as I'm not a gamer just want all the social apps. For me I'm happy with my decision by the way I've the exyons version. It's always a personal preference & liking, have a fantastic day guys 😊

Have a Samsung S9 . have to say its been a beast of a phone. 3 years old, still going strong, however, iphone Mini 13 has really got my attention. Like others, I'm getting tired of phones always going bigger. After several reviews, seems to me I may be making a switch when the time comes. I have looked at the new Samsung flip phone, and at first I was interested, but believe I'll stay with the bar-form factor. Mini 13 just seems to have a lot of features that, simply put, just stack up in the right places

Anonymous, 03 Oct 2021It's right. After lunching s22 with 1080p display. Do... moreI had buy samsung only for compact size phone and 1440p display and headphone jack and charger in box. Now it's 1080p display and nothing in box. Year by year there software also going down and having interface like iphone. Like a cartoon .
Now why would I buy samsung. I will buy iphone.
Iphone 1080 display is far better than samsung 1080p.
Iphone look very premium in hand . Samsung using polly carbonet ( plastic back) .
Samsung copy similar design like iphone. Then why would I buy samsung now. I will go for iphone.
I think samsung will shutdown down in few years like Nokia, blackberry .
Every year Samsung sale will go down. Next year samsung sale will go downer more then this year.
Samsung TV also have lots of screen blackout problems.
2025 Samsung will shutdown.
Let's move to iphone.
