You can buy the mi 11 ultra for only 100 euros more, which is much better in every single aspect.

That price though. On Ebay you find the S21 at a lower price, new and in its package.
Well...

Among the things companies have been changing or removing, some, like Apple, from the very start.
First from top, the charger. At least we get a basic charger, if not the high speed charging one, because chargers eventually break. So go buy a charger. And if you happen to be switching platforms, go buy a charger.
MicroSD slot, not a biggie. I, personally, don’t see its advantage. Most phones offer at least 128gb of storage.
Fm radio, I’d like to have that. I don’t use streaming, and in countries with limited data it’s good to have that option if one doesn’t want to be stuck with the music collection on phone.
3.5mm jack. Use your own earphones with an adapter on your phone. Then remove the adapter to use the earphones elsewhere. Make sure you store the adapter so it doesn’t get lost cuz, guess what, it won’t be provided with your next phone. I don’t need one more device to charge so no Bluetooth earbuds.
Removable battery. Where I am I need to keep my iPhone 7 for a month in the possession of Apple approved maintenance centre until the battery gets shipped. Not an option. Apple started that trend of unremovable batteries and everybody followed suit.

PixelFan, 07 Jan 2022TL;DR Just go with Sony at this point. Samsung to iPhon... moreRemoving charger is the single most shittest thing to do in the name of marketing(environmental friendly my ass!). And people who support this are equally pathetic looser with Mommy and Daddy's money. I don't see them lowering the price in accordance to the removal of the said charger.

I frankly feel like Samsung released this phone as a turd to make the upcoming S22 series seem like better devices. They will be, no doubt. But still. Sad.

Alas the tele and ultrawide have tiny sensors so they made some savings there.

The second in my opinion was the FE phone that all of us wanted. Yes, the CPU is a bit weaker but it has 3.5mm, SD slot, charger and is half the price of the S21.

That's the money of S20 ultra 5G and S21 ultra 5G. I don't undestand idiots who would spend the same amount of money for something that isn't even close to the ultra lineup. "Fans" I guess, lol.

How can they justify this price when something like the Motorola Edge S30 is under half the price of this?

Sonia, 06 Jan 2022How Samsung started fooling us:
1. Removed fm
2. Remive... moreTL;DR
Just go with Sony at this point.
Samsung to iPhone is a switch I can see, but it's laughable to mention OnePlus in the discussion. Worse software, inconsistent update policies, removed aforementioned features way before anyone else.
Anyways, you clearly have no understanding of the smartphone market if you think Samsung has problems anywhere close to what Blackberry and Nokia had when they went out of business. They clearly know what they're doing, and while I am not a fan of some of their choices, they're undoubtedly one of the more reliable Android OEMs out there (sad state of affairs for Android).
Now onto the list of things that Samsung removed -
1. Removed fm -
What the...what's next, do you also expect an Abacus on your Smartphone?
2. Remived infra red -
Why would you need this?
3. Removed heart rate sensor -
Was it reliable? If not then it's just added manufacturing cost with little to no benefits.
4. Removed notification light -
It was a neat feature. I am not sure why it was removed though.
5. Removed 3.5 mm audio jack -
Bummer to me but I can see why they did it. TWS are indeed very convenient, if only TWS buds get a better battery life.
6. Removed micro sd card slot -
Bummer.
7. Removed earphone from the box -
Not a real dealbreaker. Samsung had some nead headphones but is far from a dealbreaker.
8. Removed charger from the box -
Not a real dealbreaker. Most people own multiple chargers. OEM chargers are seldom of good quality anyways.
9. Removed proximity sensor -
Bummer. Yes.
10. Removed Iris scanner -
Actually a useful feature. Not sure why it was removed? I guess it was go a notchless design.
11. Removed 3D Depth sensor -
Might see a return soon. It was pretty neat. Agreed that it's removal wasn't necessary.
12. Removed audio zoom (rear mic) -
How niche of a feature is this?
13. Removed 1440p -
Always considered it a bad moved, would've preferred it if they retained 1440p on base flagships and moved onto 4K on their Ultra line.
14. Removed pressure sensitive home button -
Not exactly a dealbreaker for most people (basically non-enthusiast market). Probably has something to do with manufacturing costs. I personally would love to have it back.
