impinas, 06 Jul 2022I bought the S21 FE to replace my four year old S9+, which ... moreI did reset it multiple times and cut it down to essential apps, and im not really a heavy user i use social media and play a few not so demanding games..And its decent when it comes to in-app experience doing basic things like scrolling or watching videos on YT but there are so many little quirks everywhere that other manufacturers sorted out that it just feels like samsung didn't put enough effort into this device, although im hearing tech ytbers say that they're gonna really focus on software and overall speed and fluidity with OneUI 5, i really hope thats true and that they can deliver. Battery life for me is alright (better after the May update) but again could be more optimized. Also you mentioned camera performance and i have to agree with you, while it does have impressive night mode, everything else is just okay nothing special even sometimes kind of over-processed and a bit weird looking cameras are definitely a mixed bag, especially on social media which i think they promised they're gonna optimize but they didn't really do it..(and trust me coming from an iPhone the in-app "optimization" for third-party apps is definitely better on samsung compared to other android manufacturers,but still not as good as IOS) and i know they optimized the S22 Ultra for social media but come on not everyone has 1300$ to give for a phone just to get decent social media camera experience, but then again i saw on YT that S21FE is one of the devices that might get social media camera optimizations so im really hoping that happens plus we finally get decent software support of 4 years major so they have a lot of time to improve just about everything, anyways im done complaining about this phone I've wrote endless paragraphs about it and im tired of it, im gonna write my opinions on software when i get the OneUI 5 update. Hope y'all S21FE havers enjoy your new phone and we'll see what samsung has in store for us in the future 😅😂

POLARIS, 04 Jul 2022First of all why the f*ck would i lie?! I literally had to ... moreI bought the S21 FE to replace my four year old S9+, which I still use and it is no laggy at all. Same with the S21 FE, it's extremely fast and responsive. I am not satisfied with the camera (not a slight improvement over my S9+ in daylight, which is not a good performer in daylight either, pictures look like oil paintings, at least the S21FE is much better at night) and I am not happy with the battery, it just drops even when not using the device. But the software is really good. Try reseting it, install only basic apps for 1-2 days, deactivate system apps you don't use, you can even hide their icons afterwards.

I literally had to go and try and return it but they said it wasn’t faulty and it “meets their standards” whatever that means. And good for you that it doesn’t lag and you’re happy with it i guess, but my experience is different it definitely has noticeable lags and jitters in the UI, cameras are not that impressive unless i use night mode and performance is all over the place and im betting it’s because of samsungs terrible software. Also it could be that you have the Exynos version i’ve seen people say it behaves better with that SoC, i have the SnapDragon one🤷♀️

I have been using S21 FE for the past 1 month.There isn't a single problem with this phone. There are no lags and freezes. Cameras, performance everything is perfect.

julio, 21 Jun 2022after a long time ( iphone user ) i decided to buy android ... moreDid the exact same thing, tought i’d give s*msung a try was thinking maybe if i buy a sammy “ flagship “ it wont be as bad as those awful cheap plasticky midrangers they keep releasing but turned out to be a huge mistake causing me to go back to my old iPhone X (which is much more user friendly than the S21 FE aka Flop Edition) , i even waited almost a month just for their crappy service store to tell me that there’s nothing wrong with it after “extensive and rigorous testing” (even tho it somehow only took them a day cause most of that month i waited was waiting for it to get shipped to them, so i highly doubt they even tested much of anything ) so i guess im gonna wait for that oneUI 5 update and if they fail to fix their god awful software im just gonna sell it and never buy ANYTHING from scamsung again. They are acting like they’re apple overpricing everything but never delivering..🙄

GSM Arena would've told you that the endurance rating was less, if you'd researched before buying.

Why does the camera on S21 FE cant block the light while taking pictures? The light replection on the image looks extreamly bad.
Has anyone ever felt the same?

Anyone here updated to June 2022 update on your Exynos version? My advice is not to update.
Previously I was getting 7hrs SOT, no heating issues. Now after the latest update, I can only do 6.15mins SOT, phone gets hot and lags alot. I regret updating.

One of the best smartphone of 2022. It's a flagship with 4 years of android upgrade, super fast with excellent viewing angles. It's slim and light and feels premium in hand. I see lots of negative comments about this phone but actually it's a great phone and value for money.

I ... moreI think you should pick Galaxy S21 FE. it has flagship chipset , and for the camera as well because it's set-up as flagship camera, yes i just 12MP but for me MP doesn't make great impact. Samsung give 4 times update , it'll give this device one more advance than S21. and ofc s21 fe the way powerful rather than a73
