I bought a regular S21 and I'm really enjoying it Besides the battery life

[@gert02weckx]

Mine arrives tomorrow!!! Excited!!!

[@SuperVision83]

I like the Phantom grey color

[@knlanksfull2]

Bad screen, everything is blurry due to 1080p, bad battery life (getting around 4h15mn of screen on time) and okayish cameras. This is a disappointment of a phone. Especially at this price point. Really wish I hadn't bough it .

[@sabrina-bf8wc]

this is so underrated for how thorough and honest you are.

[@Dylan-rj3dw]

Watching this on my s7 edge which I'm finally retiring after 4 years, very reliable phone it's been. I can't wait to have my S21 delivered

[@realityera3149]

my first premium phone i ever had was the galaxy s8 and i seriously loved it. a year later, i switched to Apple ( XR ) to give it a shot and now i’m definitely going back to Samsung. my experience with Samsung was MUCH more enjoyable than my current experience with Apple since they have so many features apple doesn’t

[@user-vc6hc4mm9z]

i’m switching from xr to samsung s21+, my phone comes in a few days, what features do you prefer on samsung?

[@ImRickyIWin]

Upgrading to this after having an lg g6 for 4 years. Excited to see how much has changed with smartphones in those 4 years. Also got a wireless charger to go with it and it's crazy to me that phones can charge without physically plugging it in.

[@xVLADx45]

Same for me, had a g6 for 4 years and just ordered the s21. How's the experience so far?

[@Ixnay937]

I'm coming from the S20 Ultra to the S21 (256 GB) and I couldn't be happier! I got so tired of big heavy phones with glass backs, curved displays and really bad auto focus issues . I simply could not get my S20 Ultra to focus! That issue went from night to day with the S21! AWESOME CAMERA! I've also never understood the obsession with glass backs when most people use a case anyway. I thiink the plastic just means it's lighter, more durable and it just makes more sense to me. I got excited when I found out it would come with a plastic back and flat screen. That just made me want it more. The only drawback is that my S20 Ultra had INSANE battery life but I can live with charging the S21 a little more often. I have chargers everywhere I look from other Samsung products I've owned over the years. Overall, the S21 is a home run for me!

[@mahfuzurchowdhury2765]

Hey, how is the battery life now that you've had the battery awhile

[@elijahdelacruz3204]

I recently upgraded to an iPhone 12, 128 GB in Purple (I Love the purple) for my main cell carrier and to a S21, 256 GB in Phantom Gray (I also Love it, very sleek) for my second carrier. And in all honesty, these phones are really great value. They both have the same internals as their Pro and Ultra versions, their cameras both still have their respective pro video modes, both still have 5G. Basically the same for much less. Also I don’t even notice that the S21 has a plastic back unless I’m holding both it and the iPhone, and even then it doesn’t feel super lightweight and cheap since it still has an aluminum frame and the matte texture is just awesome. I also think the removal of the sd card slot on the Samsung wont be a big deal for most people. I’m having a hard time filling it up to even just half. Heck even on my 128 GB iPhone I’ve only used 60GB, the same on my S21.

[@Maxsteel272]

I come to your channel for all things galaxy and I appreciate your feedback on these phones. I've been an apple user since 2016. My husband recently came home with the s21 for us as our new phones. I wanted to hate it but instead now love my s21, so much that I completely forgot about my iPhone lol. I'm so glad I have this phone, the performance is great and I love how this phone feels in my hands. I'm excited to see more Samsung products in the future.

[@evansilverberg8295]

@Johnson Mary said no one ever.

[@Nick91768]

Also, the s21 has 8 gig ram, s20 has 12 gig. Why would Samsung ditch the micro SD card for expandable storage? I, like many, don't like storing stuff on the cloud so I appreciate the micro SD card.

[@nthnu]

Really nice phone. Upgraded from the S7.

[@MuPo94]

I have a regular s20 from last year. On one hand, S21 has the same camera, better chipset, better refresh rate. On another hand, the display on the s20 is better, the back on the s20 is better, the phone itself is cheaper. I think if anyone wants s21 they have to watch the s20FE video or wait for S21FE later this year.

[@ShaneSymonds]

Fair points on the S20 but I think the sizing of the S20/21 vs S20FE is worth keeping in mind. S20FE is definitely a bigger phone, S20/21 is more manageable for 1 hand use

[@brianmsahin]

And don't forget expandable storage.

[@pradeephande6976]

@@ShaneSymonds, is there gonna S21FE coming up soon?

The s20 doesn't have a better display plus the better refresh rate IS A BIG THING like from 60hz to 120hz is a big difference

Just fyi, S21 is listed as 6.2 but the width is pretty small, it's a very vertical phone...my old 8+ plus was 6.2 as well but a lot wider. Heck even my S5 is wider than the S21...so just fyi if you do not want a vertical 6.2inch phone.

Usually adults have to pay for stuff. you better start growing up and stop expecting everything to be handed to you.

You need to appreciate that at least Samsung lowered down the price and it's considering the environment. Worthless.

@@CAIORAZ the chargers weren't gifts. They were included in the cost of manufacturing.

I'm hearing a lot of talk about the Note series being discontinued and as sad as that is (I'm a note fan its a fantastic phone) I also heard that they might not be making a Note 21 which is disappointing to me because I still have the note 10+ only because I didn't see that much of a difference between it and the note 20 so I wanted to wait. I hope at the very least if they do discontinue it that they make the note 21 and make it the best phone on the market I hope the note series goes out with a bang rather than it slipping away like it never existed 😕

Hello. I've purchased the S21 5G, but the screen is so easy to scratch. I've noticed an edge around the front camera which is off center of the camera. Could it be some extra protection from the factory? Normally the front camera and screen would be perfectly flat.
