[@makanbolang]

s21 fe is cheaper, the quality is similar to the iPhone 13, if you can't distinguish the quality of the product, then the price will be the winner, Thank you for your very complete review

[@danielsin]

im not an iphone fan but iphone 13 actually have better quality because the back is actually glass so in terms of quality iphone wins, but for the price it goes to samsung definitely

I think you should compare the Exynos 2100 and Snapdragon 888 versions of the 21 FE. In the same comparison of the S21 Ultras, the Exynos variant was able to take better low-light pictures, while the Snapdragon variant took accurate daylight colours. I'm interested in the FEs this time around!

Thank god they improved the microphone in the s21 fe, sounds even a little sharper than the iphone 13. The s20 fe microphone didnt sound the best, you had to speak directly into the bottom microphone. Samsung deffo saw what was wrong with the s20 fe and made loads of good optimisations.👏

[@arnabsanyal4395]

Great video guys. A stellar performance by S21 Fe, looks like Samsung has gone back to the drawing board before rolling out S21 FE. On many aspects, the picture was more accurate in S21 with better subject separation and details (the criss-cross pattern on the sofa for one). How will the S22 fare? worth waiting for.

[@danielsin]

Ok I’ll add that on my list lol

[@AnalogFlava]

i was about to get the 13 today...then saw the s21 fe for about 380 dollars less and I was so much in doubt as I noticed some issues filming with the 13, fo example when zooming in, then out, the switch between the lenses were soooo noticable it looked like a bug, even a kid would be able to see. Not sure if it maybe is a bug or not, im not a pro, but this made me reconsider a lot...also the 13 seem to overbrighten video and images, especially noticable at nightshots, something about it looks a bit unatural to me, like a flash is always on...ive seen it in all the YT reviews as well...but not sure if it is just me feeling like this. Pro's and Cons to both I guess but the switching of the lense while filming seems very alarming to me.

I never would have thought s21 FE would be that good !..

[@Sketchplaza]

Good review, it is a great comparison for those that don't want to spend the extra money. Shows the quality (and pitfalls) of the Samsung with the processing issues in portrait. Honestly I was surprised how close they were in quality when you think of the 21 FE being a more budget phone than the iPhone. I didn't see a really "lowlight" comparison between the 2 though. Does the Samsung get super grainy with the lower light shots?

[@danielsin]

Low light with the main camera is pretty clean. Selfies and with the other lenses are a no go

[@InesLira]

@@danielsin Do you feel that the pictures are too crips (in a weird way) and make things browner on the samsung?

[@scousedada6864]

Hope Samsung improves video quality and matches iPhone's quality in upcoming S22. 🤞

[@oBEARDEDo]

the iPhone has richer contrast and saturation in photos. but the s21 fe takes way clearer photos and video, and besides. contrast and saturation can easily be edited on the s21 fe.

[@bumi1753]

i think s21 fe camera vs s20 fe have the same tone and sharpness (maybe because they are using same 12 mp sensor) but maybe with better post processing photo since the S21 fe using SD 888 vs SD 865 on S20 Fe. Still this phone is a good choice if you want flagship experience on more cheap case (no glass backpanel). But i think S21 FE vs S20 Fe is not really big leap.... the diff only on SoC, backpanel design and the display. Good video... keep going bro.

[@danielsin]

Thanks

[@Benjy86]

The S21 fe just looks and feels more premium than the S20 fe. They really did a good job trimming down those huge bezels on the S20 fe display as well.

[@LifeOfLapz]

Just hitted you with a Subscribtion, youre doing such a great job! I mostly like the colors more on iphone, i believe theyre more realistic?

Interesting your comparison using one-hand...... while I can navigate, as you did, I find the weight + size (with case), to be difficult to take one-hand pictures with. I have the iP13P as well, but am sending it back, mainly due to the weight/size/shape, and will be ordering an S22, which is much closer in size to my pixel4A.

[@danielsin]

I love the pixel 4a size

[@H.hipster]

Imo the only downside of the s21 is the focus on the 3x camera, it's absolutely terrible. It has improved after the last update but I still struggle a lot with it.

[@yahshaunyahu]

Why no one ever addresses how iPhone make porcelain skin look orange? The excuse always is "warmer tone" no, it's the Donald Trump filter

[@danielsin]

Yeah it does. Luckily this iPhone has profiles and you can customize the colors it to your liking. I use normal so I can be even with the comparisons

[@NearlyInfinity]

I'm slightly confused as to why at 2:51 it seems that the 1x captured more detail than the 3x on the s21, I'd have assumed it would be the other way around, can anyone who knows about cameras and the tech well here explain, not just guessing why bk I can do that myself lol

Number row 2 steps. etc. Gestures sometimes you swipe from left or from up, and when not gesture you must reach up click back arrow to go back e.g apple music app...Its very frustrating.

I rather swipe up and turn them on with a thumbs reach than move the entire phone down with one hand just to do the same on the android since I can't reach. Or I would use a 2nd hand.
