Real question:
What is the better zoom camera?
S20 FE, 3x optical, or
S21 with 3x hybrid
This would be deciding for me, so thanks for opinions

Alex, 15 Jan 2021Sorry, you tried S21 today!? How is it possible, the phone ... moreI live in South Korea. They have s21/s21+/ultra and buds pro in stores to try since this morning (It's 15th here)
I meant I didn't notice the difference in image quality on screen. I actually prefer flat screen so... there's that. I also mentioned that other people might notice the ppi difference, I just personally didn't.
As for photo, yes. Just visually compared. Took photos with/without zoom (went up to 3x zoom) with both phones and then zoomed in on screen. I personally liked the s21 photo a bit more but honestly... there isn't that much difference. (That is, in store, under white lamp lights, no idea how it performs in low light or extremely bright light)
I'm not professional phone reviewer in any way. s20 might be better phone in the end after one has a chance to use them both for long time. My personal preference from what I experienced in playing around with both for ~30min total is that I liked s21 bit more.

Anonymous, 15 Jan 2021Photos are same if not better on s21 (tried today). And des... moreSorry, you tried S21 today!? How is it possible, the phone hasn't been released yet...
And even if you did, how do you judge the photo quality? By looking at the phone screen?
As for the screen differences that you didn't notice... OK, you don't see the difference between 560ppi and 420ppi, I take that. But the screen is no longer curved, it's flat, how couldn't you notice that!?

I have the S20 and I'm very happy with it. I'll wait a year or two till they'll come up with better upgrades and no punch hole.

From 1st generation galaxy S until the latest 12st generation ,i only attracted and bought the S4 32G flagship in 2013 with malaysia ringgit 2399 because it has latest 4G LTE ,many useful sensors technology, dedicated card slot , good audio sound , super Amoled ,removemable battery! I am still using S4 in 2021 ! What i want to say is Samsung totally had failed to encourage their fans to voluntarily spend money to upgrade their flagship phone during these 7 - 8 yeats ! If not the ridiculous ban from USA on China smart phone , i think Samsung mobile phone already bankcrupted and kicked out from the world market ! However i wont deny that their s20 FE 5G is still an option with lower price !

Propane001, 15 Jan 2021So do I get the s21 for the price of 800usd or go for a s20... moreS20 FE, it's got real tele cam and better photo quality overall. Unless you are in Exynos region. Then wait and see if Exynos 2100 in S21 is better than Exynos 990.

Propane001, 15 Jan 2021So do I get the s21 for the price of 800usd or go for a s20... morePhotos are same if not better on s21 (tried today). And design in real life is (imo) WAY better on s21 then s20, it felt much better in my hands (phantom grey and phantom violet are gorgeous and it doesn't look cheap at all, that plastic on back was A+ choice for me personally and I thought I'll hate it). I'd say if price difference is less than 100$ might be worth getting s21 just for the chipset and the fact software is bit tuned up. Memory card wise - if you need more than 256GB memory get s20. Where I am, s21 only comes in 256GB and that's at starting price. That's more than enough for me so memory card is not important. Earphone jack is also whatever. Here they give you buds live (for s21/s21+) or buds pro (for ultra) for free with phone if you pre-order so...
I've been thinking between s20 and s21 for like a month and was almost set on s20 and then today I saw and played around with s21 and decided to go with s21 because I personally liked it more.
Ah also... I didn't notice difference between s20 and s21 screens, but that's not to say no one will.
To note - I would never in million years upgrade s20->s21 that's just not worth it. Not sure if even s10 upgrade would be worth it. But if you're coming from something s9 or older, s21 might be better option over s20.

So do I get the s21 for the price of 800usd or go for a s20 plus which is cheaper. I feel like there's not much change in th s21 besides the video capability and processing power. What a do u guys think?
My main uses are gaming and photography.

To much compromise for such an expensive phone. IMO, s20FE is the way to go if you want Samsung ... Or ANY mid-range phone with normal price, headphone jack and micro SD card.

S21 suuuuccccckkkkkkksssssssssssss, as a Nokia then Samsung owner of many generations, S21 suuuccckkkkkkkssss. I bought iPhone for wife, mother. We have ipads because samsung tablets sucks vs iPad. Only reason that I didn't goto iPhone was Microsd and samsung pay. They removed mst from watches, they removed microsd or any differentiation from iPhone. I just hate face id but iphones will come out with finger print reader or iPhone se plus with finger print reader. There is just no reason to buy s21. Camera seems to suck, 1.1 optical zoom????, what......!!!!!, I mean really really sucks. If samsung doesn't change course, might as well goto some or LG.

With S21 Samsung has just launched a good midranger at flagship price. So maybe next year they will launch a good flagship at midranger price ?

SON GOKU, 15 Jan 2021You know, after watching some videos about the S21, I can u... moreIt may seem that way but it actually isn't the case. If they were to try to make a cheaper, more affordable device, they would do another S10e, which by the way is one of the best Samsung phones ever in my opinion. This is just downgrading the base model to push you to the more expensive models.

AnonD-973296, 15 Jan 2021they're just idiots who wont stop whining, and this is... moreHere is a guy shouting at everyone with his eyes and ears closed, ignoring all reasonable arguments.
The advantage of glass vs. plastic has been mentioned here many times. While "SD dying" statement has no grounds. Expandable storage has been a technological advantage many years before this guy was conceived: no one is forced to use it but it's extremely useful for those who need. And 1080p is a midrange feature, for phones 2-3 times as cheap.
And he claims "great phone" just by the specs, same way many xiaomi and readmi fans do.

Bradley Lewis, 15 Jan 2021I keep seeing people complaining about the plastic back and... morethey're just idiots who wont stop whining, and this is a better deal cus the model last year started at $1000, ur getting next gen specs here for a full $200 less. They complain about MicroSD gone, they just never get over the fact that its dying, they complain about 1080p, the last year could only do 1080p @120hz which is the same as this and most people don't even change screen quality anyway and they overreact as if their eyes would melt from their sockets if they see a 1080p screen. They complain about Exynos and their thermal throttling which my A50 does not at all to this day, and u r correct, they r going to put a case on the plastic back anyway. this a great phone, they're just too used to the stupid xiaomis and realmis of the world
