User opinions and reviews

I see most of the questions are related to battery life. I am using my Snapdragon version (8/256) since may and battery life is average. I play games for 30 minutes to one hour daily and sometimes it lasts until the evening, sometimes not. The idea is that everything is just top class on this phone, except battery life. If this is the first requirement for someone, then skip this phone. If battery life is not first among wishes, then it's a very good buy for the money. About heating, yes, it heats up a little especially after a few minutes of gaming but most of the phones do.

    Amogus, 13 Aug 2022Does it heat in normal usage?No. When playing games gets warmer, but not something to worry. Absolutely normal, like most phones. My previous Galaxy Note 8 gets much more hotter.

Some times I even force myself to drain battery, in the end of the day, to put it on charger. Sot 4-6hrs is a absolute fine battery life to me. I'm not a game person and didn't burn it too hard, but do normal stuff like videos, video calls, camera, browsing, social media, little gaming and music, etc. Can't complain about battery at all.

              Karl, 12 Aug 2022This or Xiaomi 12x or Oneplus 10 pro($80 more)? In my count... moreI'd suggest avoiding the Xiaomi.
              The OnePlus 10 Pro is overall better than the Galaxy S21 FE, it just lacks a proper IP rating, the display is 20.1:9 aspect ratio and curved so the phone seems really long(the specs are wrong on this site, the S21 FE's display is 19.5:9 and it has USB 3.2), inferior software support compared to Samsung and still capped at 1080p video recording on the front camera, Samsung had 4k60 video recording on it's front camera since 2019.

                  I have my S21 FE 8G RAM/256GB storage (Snapdragon version) for a week now. This is the best phone I have ever had, hands down especially coming from Xiaomi Redmi Note 8T. I like everything about it, except one thing. I am surprised how fast the battery goes down... If you are not a super user, then you should be fine for a whole day, but if you are using it intensively then you would end up charging it in the afternoon. I would like to ask what charger do you guys use with the phone in order to increase the battery lifespan? I mean 10/15/20/25W? And should it be from Samsung specifically or other vendor's would be just fine? I am now using my previous 18W charger for the Redmi 8T, should it be just fine? What do you recommend? Thanks.

Newer, especially flagship tier models will receive monthly updates in the beginning, then slowly become less frequent like quarterly or biannually. Even if Samsung is not delivering the updates monthly, but it still provides the software support for the time it promises (say 5 years), then it's totally fine for me since it's still better than other OEMs.

                            How's the exynos version of this phone? Is the battery life good and does the phone overheats in normal usage?? I'm not a gamer just use the phone for video calls, social networking sites and camera. Thanks

                                    S, 16 Jul 2022Have 2 questions. First, is 21FE included in the 4 year up... moreMy S21 FE's last update was 8June. No update for 2months now. A few Asia Pac countries no updates (eg Singapore, Malaysia, Australia). My phone still on May security patch. Countries like India is lucky to have a July update (even on same Exynos chipset).

                                    Samsung can promise anything but whether they will deliver is a different thing. Yes, Samsung promised monthly security updates for the newer phones. If Samsung can't deliver updates for a 7month old phone, good luck with their 5 years of updates promise
