Samsung Galaxy S21 Real-World Test (Camera Comparison, Battery Test, & Vlog)

[@StgVirus1]

I like how you go over the regular S21 vs all the other channels that just review the Ultra. Much appreciated

From a guy stuck in the UK and will never see the places your showing,I just want to say how much I appreciate the time & effort you constantly put into your videos, thank you.👍

Are you satisfied with the battery ?

I'm also using the S20FE 5G and I'm really loving the performance especially the cameras. Totally worth it.

Camera samples look great. I think they look even better when Scene Optimiser is turned off. Saturation and contrast is turned down a bit then.

I always like that he starts the video with an explanation of the video format about what the 'Real World Test' is... I also love his 2 fixed lines for every video: 1. First things first...coffee👌 2. As always regardless, though, thanks for watching✌️

[@frankie_is_broke5591]

A reminder: The telephoto lens isn't 3X optical; it's actually 1.06X optical, then cropped to 3X, hence the "hybrid zoom". My guess as to why they've chosen this setup is so that you can film 8K (which requires at least a 33MP sensor) without punching in all the way to 3X. The high pixel count is then used for cleaner digital zoom. Using the 64MP sensor for 8K allows them to keep the main sensor at the standard 12MP, meaning larger pixels for better normal photos. Edit: you also mislabelled the 8K shots as being taken with the main sensor. Edit 2: Also, the S21 and S21+ display's adaptive setting switches between 48 and 120Hz, not 10 and 120Hz.

[@Mattijs89]

Great review man! Always love the way you test the camera's in real life. It makes more sense to a lot of consumers. But... the camera on the S21 is way better than the S20. Definitely noticable in Night Mode. More contrast there. Because of a few reviews, including yours, I just purchased the S21 and I'll be receiving it tomorrow. I live in The Netherlands, so it'll have the Exynos chip, but I've read and seen some good reviews about it, so I'll hope for the best. It'll definitely be a great upgrade from my S9, which has a TERRIBLE battery life! 😅 Thanks very much for this review. It definitely made making my decision a lot more easy. Been doubting a lot between the Pixel5 and this phone, but the Pixel5 made too much cuts to make it the 'perfect phone'. Almost perfect, but I feel this S21 suits me most; Compact design Great camera (Almost Pixel-like) Not TOO expensive (still a lot of money) Better software experience than earlier Samsung devices Less Samsung bloatware than ever before Thanks again!

[@brunopires3446]

Hello, Matt! Can you tell me if the s21's battery is good? I mean, the only point that makes me not buy it is its battery, I saw some people saying it's not good and they'd only made lika 6h of screen time. After a year using it, what can you tell me about it?

[@poobastank]

Came for the S21 review, stayed for the NYC tour. Great video!

There is probably “no change” in the US but international, it’s a massive improvement to ex990

[@warlorddk2070]

Can you explain further?

[@NL0Gwenster]

@@warlorddk2070 In the US, Samsung phones have been equipped with Snapdragon SOC's . But in Europe (and a lot of other parts in the world) you will get it with Samsung's own Exynos chip. As somebody who has had the S8 up to the S20 because of his job. And i`m using phones with Snapdragon personally. The diff is HUGE. On the S10 it was still good. But esp the S20 was a real step down noticeably in performance, but also battery life. My work S20 always needed a mid-day top-up, the S10 before it which also had Exynos didn't.

The big change on the s21 over the s20 is no more expandable memory, hence the cheaper price! Also they remove the charging brick makes the differance as well!
