Changes are really small, I am keeping my s21 fe.

[@earthling1984]

I usually wait many generations for a new phone. The one or two generation jump just isn't large enough to justify upgrading. I buy my phones outright, so the longer I keep them, the more I save. I went from a S4 that I had for close to 5 years, to a S9. I will say that was a big jump in everything. I could use the same apps the same. But the speed was faster in everything, and the camera pictures and video were much better. Then I went from the S9 to the S21 FE. I really didn't notice much difference in speed. Yes, it is faster, but it wasn't a big enough difference to make a difference to me. The video as well is pretty similar, not much different. Now the pictures are drastically better, so I am happy about that. I'll probably keep the 21FE another few years, maybe upgrade when the S25 comes out. Otherwise I'll have to wait for S27, because I don't like the number 26 lol.

[@gomugomuno5268]

Team s21fe here ! Very good phone !!! I am waiting 25 or s25 fe to change ! For now it's still a beast device ! Paid 420 euro 1 year ago

[@GauravPeddagopu]

Really thankful for this comparison. It really helped. If possible do try bringing a similar comparison with s24. I guess that could be a worthwhile upgrade from S21FE.

[@adarshmr4191]

I was shocked by how similar the image processing is but un video s23 takes an edge .

You make the best camera comparisons of all. Compliments and greetings from Hamburg. Just one thing. What is your experience with the heat development of the Galaxy 21Fe Snap888?😊

[@GadgetRevNow]

Hamburg is in Germany right? where hamburger started? I heard it from Tom Holland.

[@stefan-vz3sh]

@@GadgetRevNow That's right, Hamburg is in Germany, in the north of the country. Tom Holland???

[@deepakpanchaal]

Bro is expressionless, he looks the same in all scenes❤

[@zeed5764]

I preferred the colour and picture style of many of the FE's images. I dint ever shoot in 4k - just 1080p which is super steady anyways. If they just made that back cover a bit more attractive it would have been almost perfect sized flagship @ 6.4".

[@aleksandradk2256]

Hello you have s21fe with exynoss or snapdragon 888?

[@08-huyhungtran38]

Other than improvements in camera, S23 also have longer battery life, and less heating issue that I've heard from the S21 FE Exynos version.

[@GadgetRevNow]

That's my test next week! Agree! I think Galaxy S23 has solid batt life! ❤️

[@pauskiedonna4983]

This was mostly true. But I have to say S21 FE has seen improved battery life and better thermals since the last couple of updates.

[@08-huyhungtran38]

@@pauskiedonna4983 Glad to here that!

[@earthling1984]

I have the Snapdragon S21 FE. Have had it since release. No overheating issues ever (I did have some previous phones bring up on the display that they were overheating. Never happened yet with my S21 FE). As for battery life, mine lasts me all day with moderate use. If I am using it heavily (like screen on time for hours straight) then of course I'll give it a charge during the day.

[@lakshyakumarsahu3522]

please do the same tests for s21fe vs s23fe.

[@stanleystevens6278]

Is the S23's camera with banana blur still better than the S21FE's camera?

Good comparison bro you have solved all My doubts ❤ from India. All the best for your upcoming videos...😃👍

[@GadgetRevNow]

wow, great to know bro! glad I was able to help! 🤜🤛

[@rini6847]

If one can't afford s23 then s21 fe is a good alternative only if you don't play games. Pictures in s21 fe can be improved within seconds by using Remaster esp front camera pics cos front camera is really bad in low to mledium light

[@UnitedDeals]

S21 does support casual gaming like for 30-45 mins of gaming but no more than that

[@kingsleymonareng]

Both phones shoot very well. Thank you for your videos man❤❤❤ love you and your content✨

I need your suggestions s21 fe or iphone 11 and is s21 fe good for 2023 or there is better in A series ?

[@GadgetRevNow]

Hmmmm, so Pixel 7A has better selfie video for sure. iPhone 11 for video but S21 fe if you like Android but faster.

[@3lectronic0]

S21 FE is nice excep for the battery life, I prefer the S23.

[@GadgetRevNow]

S23 batt is good! 👍

[@chief_117]

What's wrong with S21 FE battery? Do u have it w/ snapdragon? I have S23 and tbh i don't see ANY difference vs my old s10 other than battery (which is just worn on s10)

[@INSOMNI_A]

Hii brother..I m from India...I have a confusion issue...I m planning to buy a overall good quality smartphone..S21Fe is one i m putting my eyes on..But in india it comes with Exynos 2100 processor rather than SD888..Also the battery drains faster and it has a bit overheating issues(exynos 2100)..I do almost 10 hours of SOT...which includes my Online classes a bit of gaming Clash of Clans...KZbin IG surfing....And a bit of Whatsapp...Shall I consider it to buy?

[@GadgetRevNow]

Exynos 2100 is a bit different thsn SD888. Will you be able to buy the regular S21 with SD888? I think that's better.

[@INSOMNI_A]

@@GadgetRevNow But its out of my budget...So should I drop my plan of buying s21fe with Exynos 2100?

[@skandhanr2405]

bro i to had that confusion....but plz dont go for 21 fe indian version..it was a heat pack while playing n using in normal day light conditions, rather than s21 fe go with iqoo neo 7pro or else go with s23... currently am using s23 n no doubt its a beast in all aspects , no heating issues even in heavy gaming , quick charging , smooth performance , impeccable cams , everything is perfectly designed...u can get this ar around 63k with offers

[@19scomics36]

[@CabrioDriving]

Looks like better contrast/colors and sharpness on S23. What's funny S21+ 256GB non-FE is 350 USD on ebay. A 1.5 year phone. People sell it for peanuts to get S23. Huge loss of money I think not worth it.

[@GadgetRevNow]

Agree, I think S21 is one of the best used s-series phone now. ❤️👍

Brother, do you think Samsung will launch s23FE if yes then I'll wait for it otherwise I'll buy s23

[@GadgetRevNow]

Hi brother, I heard rumors of S23 FE at the end of the year but I don't think the camera and build quality will be as good as a regular S23. Samsung usually cuts corners. The sensor might not be even ISOCELL GN3 (from S23), maybe an older generation.

[@KOLOMBO96]

And it might come with Exynos globally..

[@ChakravarthiT]

S21 FE is very compitative

[@saikesavan3351]

I have s21 fe snapdragon varient, all peoples complaining about battery backup but, yes it is, only for pubg or esports or very intensive graphics games drain and heats the phone ... In my opinion my usage is like very normal i use camera, calls 2 hrs , youtube 3 hrs, insta 40mins and whatsapp 30mins, some little gaming lite games, at the end of the day it remains at 20-30 percentage (i usually charge till 85percent )... I think its okayish for most od people.. ❤😂

It is clear that compared to the S21 FE, the S23 is an upgrade, on the other hand it is $ 250 vs $ 600 refurbished or 2nd hand. The S22 and S22 Plus can be a very good alternative to the S23. Ps:but, please, please, please, for anyone thinking about buying an A54, it is better to buy an S21 FE.
