Many times repeated price point is turning from laughable to irritating: not only S21 is not worth its downgrades but you can also pay much less now for S20 and get more features than S21.

NixxxoN, 24 Jan 2021Better design, better performance (better chip) and better ... moreThe battery is not better: try to lower S20 resolution to 1080p and get the same S21 battery life. Or you can sacrifice your battery a bit and use 1440p resolution on S20 - the option that S21 lacks.
Besides, "better" is a tricky word. Do you compare Exynos 2100 to a disastrous Exynos 990? How about comparing it to the year old SD865+?

NixxxoN, 25 Jan 2021Doesn't matter.
The truth is you dont see any pixels ... moreWell, I actually see it very well. My eyes are sensitive like that and I am probably not the only person. I get why they do this though. They are trying to appeal to the tech illiterate audience (mostly Apple users). The display is fine, but not at this price point and model.
If this was the S21 Lite and $600 max, I wouldn't really mind the resolution. I've used an S10 Lite before and it was fine, apart from the green tint which was never fixed and is now present on all Samsung phones.

swapped from my trusty s8 to s21 5G.....
the good - nicer screen, nice size, slightly bigger - finger print on front - generally snappier/faster
the bad - no power plug (USBC to USBC cable only - like most i have a house full of USBA plugs so will end up buying a USB-C to A cable) - migration didn't work for me failed multiple times and didn't move any of my apps at all - didn't move my wifi settings either and claimed to finish successfully - no additional SD - seems power thirsty compared to my S8 - plenty of unwanted Apps i spent the first half hour disabling or removing !!!
overall pretty neutral.........

shai-hulud, 23 Jan 2021first of all, samsung fans sitdown and listen calmly withou... moreBetter design, better performance (better chip) and better battery. Yes battery still 4000 but it lasts much longer now. See review and compare the results with S20. Thanks to lower resolution it performs better and has better battery life, and battery life was the big weak point of S20.
Oh, and it is also cheaper than last year's one.
Anyone who can't see the improvement from previous model, needs glasses or something.

You get a new phone every two days. Saving the environment by not buying chargers, which were already produced regardless.

Also this one has better (larger) fingerprint scanner which is not listed in the specs sheet but its a very useful improvement.
