    I have one of these as my work phone. I think I concur with the negative opinions of poor battery life. Twice now in a few weeks I started a Skype meeting with > 90% battery charge and it was dead within 90 minutes. I used my personal Samsung A8 to finish the meeting (was actually playing online poker with friends on another device) and battery charge only dropped about 15% in 1.5 hours. I was actually going to replace my A8 with the S21 but after the battery experience I'll look at something else...maybe the S22.

This phone has some uncharacteristic reliability issues for a Samsung.

          Question: S21 FE has compatibility with eSIM? Reason of this question is that I have this one since December 2022, and there's no fields of it (I'm using here in Brazil). But making some searches in Google, I found a post from the belgian operator Proximus, that shows not only compatibility but also instructions of how activate it.

          S21 FE is or not compatible to eSIM?

              I have S21 since August 2022 and I can notice battery degradation already.
              The phone is Korean version and I've got numbers of problems.
              On Samsung comunity I didn't find answer to any of them and I highly regret buying this piece of rubbish.

                        If you are tinkering with the idea of getting this phone, Don't! Get the S21 FE instead which is basically the same phone, 2mm bigger in size, but many of the issues this phone has has been addressed and remedied on the (FE) Fixed Edition, including the substandard battery life, and yes the SD 888 is the better handset..

                          The snapdragon version is better for many reasons. it delivers much better CPU and gaming performance and battery life, a higher GPU frequency (by 11%) a higher antutu benchmark score (by 8%), and developers usually optimize games for Snapdragon processors more often than for Exynos

                            CHISHTI, 30 Jan 2023Which version is better? Exynos or Snapdragon? On dxomark you can also see that snapdragon version has higher (117) score than (111) and the battery is definitely better.I use the exynos version right now and I didn't have any issue so far. Everything works great. But snapdragon 888 is overall a better chip than exynos 2100. On the other hand not much a difference on daily usage. Samsung's still promised 5 years of update and 4 years of version update. So it's still a good buy on 2023

                                bean, 20 Jan 2023I got the S21 because I had an S7 for 5 years and loved it ... moreIf pulse/ox, FM and bootloader are more important for you than 120hz, One UI and performance and cameras that are light years ahead then good for you. You should have stayed with your S7.

                                  I'm stuck on the Android11, can't update the phone, don't really know why?

                                        I find it hard to believe that we still have two more OS update coming to this phone. Considering what Smasung had done with the S22, I rather get a used S21 instead. After all, it still got a bigger battery than the S21.
