So the S20 vs S21, 8GB vs 12GB, Plastic vs Glass, 1080p vs 1440p, SD Slot vs No SD Slot...all this equals a cheaper phone, £769 in the UK at least
The Galaxy S10 had an SD Slot, 1440p display albeit 60Hz, 3 cameras, 8GB RAM and constructed with Metal & Full Glass.
I'm simply wondering if 5G on the S21 was necessary or is it simply so Samsung can add to the cost toget off of people especially since 5G isn't widely available in loads of areas bar city centre areas maybe.
Was a Telephoto needed a d simply offer back the full Glass Construction instead?

No headphone jack? Sorry, not interested. My s10 plus has double the storage, sd card slot, 12GB of ram and a headphone jack. That headphone jack is actually useful and I wont buy a phone without it. No need to charge up wireless headphones or earbuds since it just works instantly with wired headphones. And i can plug it instantly into my car or computer without enabling blu tooth, so I get a nice boost to battery savings and maximum audio quality with zero compression. Why settle for compressed, lower quality audio in a phone?

S21 is never a true flagship, S21 Ultra is... Samsung's flagship specs have shifted to "Ultra" models

Samsung once again mocked Apple for the charger and then followed suit. This is why I'm not going to buy a Samsung phone after my S8 again, unless something changes.
If they had ever cared about the environment, they wouldn't have made it so difficult to swap a battery. Anyone buying this has serious issues.

The did away with the heart rate and SpO2 sensor? WHY!! And no more 3.5mm headphone jack? No reason at all to get these new phones.

Samsung fans are furious that company has downgraded their flagship to a midranger and trying to sell it for the premium price. And here you are, saying "Yes, Samsung, you can have me for my own money."

lalutcosmin, 15 Jan 2021S21 or S20 FE 5G?They are almost identical. So if you love your FE, there is not a reason to spend extra 2-3 hundred bucks.

lalutcosmin, 15 Jan 2021S21 or S20 FE 5G?S20 FE, at least it has optical zoom which is better than hybrid/fake zoom crap. But if you prefer smaller phones then I guess the S21 wouldn't be a bad option. But fake zoom is just terrible

Specs wise i feel Galaxy S20+ 5G variant is best compared so Galaxy S21 5G. I feel major difference is 7nm vs 5nm processor, S20+ 5G price is less than S21 5G with Charger,Glass back.. I dont feel 5nm will do that much various compared with 7nm..

So I just traded my S20 for the S21. I know you guys will be like, "You're wasting your money," but it's just really comfortable to hold one-handed, in fact, it feels way better than my S20. The software experience is better, and even the cameras are noticeably better. You don't even notice the drop in pixel resolution. Probably going to get the S24 next. I got the 256GB version. Please don't bash me.
