aaronwt, 11 Feb 2021My experience is the opposite. My S10 battery life was very... moreI've got a new S10 2 months ago for $450 from an official retailer, talk about value.
But there is a reason why S10 was more expensive at release, it's way more advanced phone. Let's see what you lost for paying extra $300:
QHD screen, glass back, SD slot, 3.5mm jack, MST, optical zoom, variable aperture, 16MP ultrawide, f/1.9 selfie, SpO2 sensor. And I don't count charger and curved screen since not everyone needs it.
And didn't your S10 "feel very fast" too, really?

Finally Samsung Made it with the S21!!! after years of ignoring the customers needs.
1. Flat screen for Premium device, thats the way to do it!
2. Durable, low weight plastic back
3. Exynos with Pure ARM architecture
i bought the S21 because the Plus was to big and heavy. i think the plus model should be with 6.4/6.5 inch screen and lighter with plastic back.
I think Samsung has the best UI and for years I have been praying that Samsung will choose more luxurious and elegant design, like Apple.

Anonymous, 11 Feb 2021Returning my S21. Long time Samsung fan. S10 was best phone... moreMy experience is the opposite. My S10 battery life was very good. But the battery life of my S21 is much better. It easily lasts all day. I am liking my S21 much better than my S10. And the price was even better. The S21 unlocked with 256GB of storage only cost me $300 after my S10 trade in. While my 128GB S10 cost me $600 after the trade in of my S8.
This year Samsung had very generous trade in values. I got $550 for my S10. And they lowered the retail price from what the S20 was last year.
My S21 is very fast and easily lasts all day long. It is easily better than my S10. Now the lower display resolution of the S21 is noticeable to me. But I have no problem with it because of the lower price.
Overall, the S21 is the best Galaxy S phone I've owned. I previously owned the S6, S8, and S10.

From where gsmarena got this "32-bit/384kHz audio". does that mean it support passive usb-c to 3.5mm dongle which carries analog signals from phone the the headphone female jack?

Returning my S21. Long time Samsung fan. S10 was best phone I ever had. Traded in for 21 and regret it
Battery is very very very very bad. I dont care what good reviews say. From my use it is among the worst battery I have every used. My brother has one and has same issues. Very disappointing and a big let down. I was stoked to get this phone but it's going back.

It seems that all I can find, even from Samsung, is a 991U model. The unlocked from their website, and the unlocked from Best Buy, both list the 991U. Does the U1 not exist? Can't find a link anywhere

I had all S phones since S3 and now I'm using S20. But this phone is the ugliest and the most disapointing Samsung's phone for over 800 $. This ugly camera square, thick and heavy plastic body, lowered resolution and - anyone surprised? - battery drain... And no earphones and no charger in the box. Samsung became the worst, greedy company today.

The Galaxy S21 is rather disappointing as many have said but I'll explain why I think that/Summarise other peoples points and be slightly less critical rather than just complain/rant.
-only 1080p display-same as my A50
-plastic back
-4000mAh battery also same as A50. d
Due to the efficient chipset battery drain tests do show good battery life though, 7 hours+ SOT. The reason why this is an issue is that after say 1 or 2 years when battery degrades this could drop a lot.
-25w fast charging, from what I can find this means over 50% in 30 mins which isn't too bad but could be better. Samsung still also only have 15w wireless charging.
-No charger
-No sd card slot-No issue for me 128gb is enough but might be for others.
-No headphone jack though that's the same as almost every flagship phone this and last year.
The exynos 2100 chipset is finally much closer to the snapdragon chipset hence why I didn't mention it as a con. Battery life does seem to be similar from what I've seen. However, the gpu performance is still very behind,
Meanwhile for likely cheaper cost phones like the xiaomi mi 11 have 55w charging which can charge phone 50% in 15mins and even have 50w wireless charging which is only slightly slower, have 2k display, glass back, and costs less.
