    I've been using the S21 FE since May 2022. It's been a great day to day device. Nice screen, solid camera and a flagship SD 888 processor. I'll definitely keep it until Sammy releases a updated model. Great follow up video.

    My wife and I both got the Qualcomm 888 version of the Galaxy S21fe. The 256GB model that has 8GB of RAM instead of the 128GB model with 6GB of RAM. We gave $550 each for them back in October 2022. So far they have been excellent. A huge upgrade from the Galaxy S8 Active we were using before.
    Samsung's OneUI 5 Android 13 update improved both battery life and performance for us once we were able to disable the RAM Plus feature that couldn't be turned off in One UI 4 Android 12.
    We finally got cases and screen savers for them last week. So glad we didn't have any bad accidents while using bare phones. However we both have dropped them while bare without the phones taking any damage. Not as tough as our old S8 Active phones, but twice as tough as the glass backed phones currently available.

    I bought this phone for 485 dollars which is pretty good. Coming from an s20 nearly everything is an upgrade for me. The battery, performance and even cameras. The chin could be a bit thinner but its way better than the curved display which i found very annoying. Surprisingly i prefer the plastic back. The feel of the s20 was very slippery and clunky in a way but this phone is very good to grip. Overall i think this is a great phone for 500 bucks, especially with the 4 years of software updates.

    This phone is very unreliable. I bought mine in February last year and a year didn’t even go by before it started overheating. In December last year it overheated and didn’t turn on until today. Sent it back to @Samsung for repairs and they told me that the warranty won’t cover it. The phone itself and Samsung’s after care service is very poor. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyway. Try another brand.

      Depends on what matters most to you. If u want a phone with great camera, very simple & fluid software and don't care about taking photos from far then go with Pixel 7. If u want all the smartphone bells and whistles then get the Samsung
