    I have read various complains about the S21 FE phone, but fortunately I don't really suffer much from the issues. I have bought 4 of this phone so far for myself and family members. From what I gather the Exynos version is more prone to overheat. I have the Snapdragon version, while it does get warm, from my experience rarely suffer from overheat. The only time it ever get overheat and force slow down and dimming brightness is when it is car mounted with Maps running and during the middle of summer with sunlight hitting at the phone, which is understandable. I also can't help to think people buying a phone like this to play 3d games and complain about slow down. Buy a SteamDeck or Switch instead if you want to game portably.

    Some people have the 6gb version, but again most are 8gb. Maybe that's why they have issue with apps closure.

    Battery life is very average, but for my use case it get through a full work day until I get home. If you use your phone more than 6hrs a day, then you need to buy a portable power bank and a car charger, I don't see what the problem is, even one have them these days. Replacing the battery manually can be difficult without proper tool, especially resealing the back cover with the right adhesive, which I have done. Though I imagine it's not too costly to pay a repair shop to do it for you.

    Samsung phones come with a lot of system apps bloatware, including facebook services apps. If you know how you can use adb shell command lines to disable them, I think it is an improvement. Personally I have a list of about 100 system apps that I disable out of the box. You can probably find them on XDA. Also I believe using Secure Folder drains the battery more, so I stopped using it.

    The biggest weakness of the phone is the somewhat weak data antenna.

                    What do you suggest I do,my s21 fe is not fast enough even for moderate task and cast even play call of duty well even with medium graphics and high frame rates
                    I've restart the phone multiple times and even run geekbench 6 for it and the score is way below average
