Samsung Galaxy S21 FE In 2024! (Still Worth Buying?) (Review)

[@maicalvlad6765]

For anybody wondering, yes you should buy the S21FE over the regular S21 and the S22. Here's why: - The S21FE came out with Android 12 and I'll receive four OS updates, so up to Android 16. The regular S21 came out with Android 11 and it'll receive up to Android 15, and a year less of security. - The S22 has the same software as the S21FE and it'll receive the same amount of updates. Battery is atrocious on the 22 and the 21FE is just cheaper and can do the same things.

Thanks 👍

[@saneiplushie]

But here’s something that doesn’t make sense, if the S21 FE gets updated to Android 16, then why can’t the other S21 series get the same one if they all have Snapdragon 888?

[@maicalvlad6765]

@saneiplushie because the S21FE came out almost a year after the regular variants. In the Android world, the chipset doesn't matter for software updates, only the release date for the device does.

I got this off of ebay today, May 7th 2024. Has a few scuffs on it from what I see, yet only paid 135 in total. Looking forward to it, coming from a LG stylo 5

[@jimjonesputhenparambil]

hows the battery life?

[@cwdaniels4]

I have the exynos 2100 6GB version. It was terrible when i just bought it with oneUi 5. It would heat up constantly when in use, then the CPU would throttle itself because of heat. After updating to One UI6 its alot better. Actually considering keeping it for 2more years.

[@michaelscofield2511]

Snapdragon V. 888 is way better in S21 Line up

[@KoalaBeer.]

Is that android 14 one ui 6

[@cwdaniels4]

@@KoalaBeer. now i am on one ui 6.1. I also enabled RAM Plus. It looks to be stable enough to live with for another year.

[@LemonCream9]

I have the same phone in that exact same colour. I got in March 2022 and will keep it for 2 more years at the very least. It is still great besides the battery life which is okay

[@jethropeters4686]

I will try to replace the battery myself. Love this phone, so hope it works. U ever considered doing that yourself?

[@LemonCream9]

2 years s21 fe user here. There's few problems with my s21 fe. 1st :battery problems drained very fast 2nd: heating issue 3rd: 4 green lines in four months

[@wishonamoonbeam]

I literally just bought this phone I’m excited to get it I’ve been an iPhone user for years so I’m curious how different this is going to be I have to figure out how to use my iTunes since that’s what I use for my music

[@BashfulLine]

How is it so far??

[@AxelaxiB]

Switch to Spotify lol 😆 jk I actually have this phone and an iPhone at the same time and I can say there's a lot of things I prefer to do on this phone like watch movies or take photos as the specs are a little better imo I have the iPhone 13 BTW

When your talking in your videos..try to show wat your talking about...talk about software and show us the software..talk about the processor and show us some bench marks...thats wat video editing is

[@NobuhleSibindi-og7cp]

My Samsung s21 FE plays ads on its own,in the middle of something l will start and put on pause whatever l do, i.e., watsup record am so tired l tried to check everything on setting l took it back to store they also fail...anyone who experienced this please help

[@estevaoalves3988]

Probably a virus, check every app you downloaded since it started and if uninstalling any suspicious apps doesn't fix the problem I'd probably reset the phone or even reinstall the software through a computer

[@sohamkar1846]

Use a good skin wrap and it will look better from the back too.

[@leroiarouf1142]

0:33 what the game plz ???

[@TurboPleb]

I literally never used any manufacturer skin, I always use nova launcher.

[@warlockboyburns]

[@hi-yv7uv]

Is it worth upgrading to the razr 2024 from this ?

[@JaredFallon-g8o]

Did u buy it new or used?

[@honsville]

I bought one of these off ebay for $144 after taxes. I was wondering if anybody has run fallout pc version on this phone and will it run fallout 4? I don't care about the graphics or framerate, just want to play the game with a controller you can buy off amazon, while using winlator or whatever software I need.

[@navodyabatagoda]

Does these phones (s21fe, s23fe) support the S-pen

[@antonio-px4td]

no

When it comes down to it

[@Phoneman-p9j]

Battery drains very fast...

[@MR.B12312]

How bad? I see so many reviews mentioning bad battery, but the 8-year-old phone I'm using now has almost half the battery capacity. To keep the brightness at past half is a luxury to me, and dumbing the resolution to 720p is a must to have it throughout the day. That is a bad battery-life phone. I imagine this being a gargantuan increase battery life upgrade. Now could your perspective be that the phone should be able to game, stay running a good chunk of the day, have max brightness, or run many tabs at once and last throughout the day, or is it really just a bad battery life phone?

[@mparagames]

it does not support lowering the resolution ​@@MR.B12312

[@mparagames]

​@@MR.B12312also if you get the exynos version, yes it has poor battery life, probably not more than 5 hours of screen time

[@MR.B12312]

​@@mparagames That would be worse than every standard flagship galaxy, from the s7 to the s24? Did they really drop the ball that much or again is this just perspective from a person with bad battery habits?

[@mparagames]

@@MR.B12312 no it's just that bad, s21 exynos, s21 fe exynos and s22 (both snapdragon and exynos) have poor battery life. If you get the s22 exynos, even worse, 4 hours of screen time or less. And yes, this is with a new battery. If you wanna get a decent battery life, and need an s series device, get the s23 or s23+ instead, base s23 lasts 8 to 9 hours and s23+ might last 10-11.

I'm keeping mine

[@omaralkalbani1035]

❤❤❤❤ I love your videos

[@leoarmstrong100]

It's a simple alpaca phone

[@jarednmckinney]

I have the s21 fe. I have constant problems. Apps get froze. I have to restart it every other day. Message app freezes, youtube. I cant wait till i can get a newer Samsung. Im so sick of it

[@korou_kshetrimayum9022]

Is it exynos or the snapdragon version?

[@gang_30official]

I have been using S21 FE since January 2024 and i haven't faced any of these issues and there was some heating issue at the beginning but after the One UI 6 update it doesn't have any heating issues, I played bgmi for 1 hrs and the max temperature was 38°C which is fine.

[@bliss365]

I'm having the same issue. Mine is 2 years old

[@TheNesta82]

Same, I'm having this issue. I have the Snapdragon variant.
