Anonymous, 15 Jan 2021Price is nice if you dont live in europe where its 850 euro... moreabout pricing between countries:
The EU base price is about € 713 without VAT/sales tax. Sales tax brings it up to € 849.
The US price gets bumped up at the moment of sale with sales tax.
With the momentarily low USD USD 799 ~ € 662, so yeah EU pricing is too high and that €51 difference is split up between Samsung and Amazon/other retail channel

The last reason for me to buy a Samsung flagship smartphone was the presence of a micro SD card. Now that's gone too and there's nothing to stop me from buying a Chinese flagship model, which also has no SD card slots and costs half the price. Samsung is trying to match Apple, only Android flagship models are bought by tech freaks and not marketing freaks ala Apple.
Samsung has already tried to omit the SD card in previous S and Notes models. This failed miserably and was a disaster for Samsung. Then there was the battery disaster.
The S and Note 20 models were also a disaster from a technical point of view.
It seems that the Samsung strategists in Korea have learned nothing at all and add new mistakes to the old ones with every new model.

I actually find it funny people complain so much about the plastic back. You are going to put a phone case anyway, so the reason for having a glass back is gone. No one is going to look at the back of your phone and admire for its glass finish. No one cares about it except fashionistas and showoffs.
Compared this with the S21+, I would think very seriously about taking this variant instead. I literally don't see any point of picking the larger screen variant when the screen resolution remains the same. If Samsung put 1440p resolution on S21+ screen, then I may have a second thought.
And btw, flat screen FTW! This looks so much better than last year's curved screen S20.

i know this s21 Regular made from plastic, not like S21plus and S21 ultra made from gorilla glass.
But still this plastic s21 will never break like glass. So interesting, i plan to preorder this, and i will feel free bring it anywhere, throwing it freely to the table without afraid.
it also a light phone according to tech reviewers, only 171 gram. I already have flagship phone Mi 10 Ultra 6.67" and oh boi its big, 221 gr - heavy if use with one hand, and not comfortable. So a light phone s21 is a dream

It's a beautiful phone. Pre-orders come with $100 credit to buy charger, buds, case and more. Great value with instant credit for trade-in.

First time i see a new phone worse than the one from last year. S20 being a flop for sales, Samsung is probably not expecting much from this one too. I suppose they are keeping all the good stuff for next year and S22 after the pandemic is over and people will be interested in phones again, travelling and taking pictures. Keep your money for the time being, this one ain't worth your cash...

Well I used to love Samsung a lot.. I mean looks a lot. But looking at this phone... I mean like I just threw my galaxy s4 both s21 and s4 have plastic body. Both have 1080p display. I don't care if they removed the headphone jack. No charger.. a little but concerned. I'm not gonna buy it but still at least don't degrade the phone. Put a 1440p display in the standard s21 and maybe put a 4k just saying a 4k display in the ultra cause u know its ultra. Well I wrote a whole paragraph and realised like Samsung is gonna listen to me.. Never mind. Carry on. I hope they don't put a 720p display in the s22 if it's gonna come. Lol. Plus I'm not a phone guy

I can't give up on my S8 because of SD slot, headphonejack, no stupid camera bump, proper fingerprint sensor and no hole or notch. Wish they offered these features nowadays. All disappearing one by one...
