pre ordered one for 2.4k (256GB & 8GB) with all the freebies to replace my s20 fe 5G, loving it so far. the exynos 2100 is a way better chipset than my s20 FE's sd865, which was already brilliant itself. the dynamic amoled 2X screen really pops compared to super amoled on my s20 fe too.
I had this phone with the exynos cpu for a week and compared to my Mi 10T Pro : Pictures of the main cam look fantastic but if you zoom in a bit it's worse, great video stability. On the minus side : The back plastic feels cheap, the phone is slower, quite a few bugs, and the 2 biggest problems : Battery life is terrible, in a warm climate (Thailand) the screen dims very quickly outdoors in the sun because of overheating which makes it barely visible, much worse than the LCD on the Xiaomi !. Sold it after a week and was happy to return to my "old" phone. Conclusion : If you live in a tropical climate like i do, don't buy it, also Screen on time is pretty terrible.
already purchased when the s21 fe launched here. I use student discount to get it, so totally RM2.4k for a 256GB version With this price, I think it has worth within this price range.
Hi there, great review. I'd like to hear your opinion. Could galaxy note 20 be a better purchase now compared to s21 fe? Since it has a similar price here in indonesia.
comparing the phone with MSRP is a bit misleading IMO. You can get a S21 (SD/import ver) from Shopee for like RM2.4K and pixel 6 for RM3K. sure, it is not official but at least I would imagine for viewer who watch your video is capable to use shopee and get the cheapest price for the other models. Just my opinion coming from a guy who is looking to buy a new phone soon. (waiting for S22/mi 12 launch in malaysia)
@@tolgaalp7151 for me regular S22 totally enough for me...I just using phone for social media,watch UA-cam and take picture...I'm not into playing games...
I suggest getting a USB-C hub (like the Ugreen one shown in the video) as it comes with HDMI and a few more USB ports. Can literally become a desktop replacement lol
@@NasiLemakTech and another question 😐 Does this S21 FE have any heating issues with regular uses?.. Like watching movies,long time multitasking,long time video chatting etc. Not talking about gaming.. I'm not really gaming person. Should I get this S21 fe? or can you recommend any phone for me? 😐 plz help again.
Surprisingly no. No heat issue though the phone does get warmer when shooting 4K 60fps videos for a long time. I can't recommend you to get this phone now unless you can get a heavy discount. Else, wait for the S22 to launch and see how big the price gap is.
@@NasiLemakTech thank you very much. The way you present your videos and the way you are helping people in the comment section is really very good. Subscribed your channel.. Thanks 💫
I'm currently using my Pixel 6 for more than 4 months however due to never settling bugs especially related with cellular coverage, i was thinking of changing it to S21 FE. But i might have to sacrifice the AI machine learning features from Google. Hurmm 🤔
@@NasiLemakTech yeah agreed. Google Camera for Pixel 6 and 6 Pro still having lots of issues especially related with light flare and noise. Even after a few updates, the light flare issue seems not resolved however it has improved a little bit.
Wanted this phone but so hesistant because of the Exynos chipset plus how come it's expensive here in SE Asia. In most comments I see, they are satisifed with their S21 FE but most of them are from US and have the Snapdragon chipset. Plus Samsung phones are expensive now even the A series/midrange but this one doesn't have charger or even a cheap jellycase WTH Samsung stop ripping off on your loyal customers grr
At that price, just get the S20 FE 4G. It's still a fantastic phone. This S21 FE is mostly just improvement in the chipset and comes with 5G compared to the S20 FE.
Hi, thanks. Got the s20 fe 4g but now I am worried about not having 5g since I use my phones for 4 to 5 years. Do you think 4g will be around for next 5 years atleast? hahaha. A good topic for your next video 4g vs 5g future
Yeah 4G will still be around. 4G vs 5G lol. I'll wait for 5G deployment to be better before making any judgment. I'm not looking forward to 5G at all though. No rush.
TBH, not as intensely as you'd think. I don't play games on the phone, and at most is browsing a little through social media and occasionally take some pics. My smartphone usage revolves around messaging apps mostly.
hmmm just got this for 2k like used for 6 months 8/256 Exynos 2100. Traded in my OP 9r. So far looks smooth and fast, battery at same level as 9R while screen on. Camera Better. Down side is, useless charging speeds and some of the settings like camera shutter sounds cannot off busy body fcukers as samsung are always. Otherwise everything else looks fine atm. Had some heating shit, then after update now ok. Nothing else is special, I just changed it to get rid of the color OS implementation of the Oneplus. oh yes, Fingerprint scanner is very fast and better than the OP. I don't game so lets hope the battery lasts a day for my usage. Charging absolutely sucks with this ancient tech for chargers.
Hey any cons you are facing?? Does phone gets bad after updates...am concerned about battery performance and camera performance with updates.... having almost same price of pixel 6a and 21 fe exynos here in India so what would you suggest after using 21fe
@@garimakharra1784 yes phone is good. Battery life is decent for normal usage. Lasts a day with 20-30% to spare. I only charge it to 85% every time with the battery safety future on. UI is fast and fluid even after few updates. I use Microsoft launcher. Its better than the Samsung one. I use samsung pay. So this one works for me good. Camera is decent above average even in dark places.

Oof what's a fantastic price for the 256GB version. Where did you get it from?
how is the battery life in compare with the s20 fe? was the s20 fe a snapdragon or also exynos?
@@NasiLemakTech samsung malaysia's own website via education offer
I have an SD865 phone and the samsung was much slower, with lot's of UI stutters
How loud is the speaker on the s21 fe ?

I'd rather have the samsung s21 fe than that garbage xiaomi phones . Ive bought mi10t pro and mi 11 and all ended with deadboot .
Great review and yes this is a great phone that has flagship spec Plus there are deals to be had here in the states
already purchased when the s21 fe launched here. I use student discount to get it, so totally RM2.4k for a 256GB version
With this price, I think it has worth within this price range.
Can agree, that's a fantastic price. You got a fantastic deal.
How much did it cost with student Discount ??
how long does a full charge last for you? How do you use it? Do you play games, watch YT, use 5G Data and turn on 120hz?
Good and crisp review. Good one mate!
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!
Do feel the heat in your hand when you using the device in normal usage or in gaming ? And which one run cooler snapdragon 888 or 2100 ?
Exynos 2100 is much cooler in normal usage.
For gaming, both doesn't matter since Samsung starts thermal throttling at about 46°C
Hi there, great review. I'd like to hear your opinion. Could galaxy note 20 be a better purchase now compared to s21 fe? Since it has a similar price here in indonesia.
I'd say no because of 2 main reasons - software support and chipset. S21 FE is better.

Not having warranty is a big problem for many people, so I stick to official local units only.
@@NasiLemakTech Agree with u. If we buy import set, we can't use Samsung Pay. That's why I bought Samsung Malaysia Electronic (SME) set.
For me I will keep my money and wait for Galaxy S22 series🥰
Buy 22+ if your can, otherwise S22 is bad because 6.1 Screen and 3700.mh small battery
@@tolgaalp7151 for me regular S22 totally enough for me...I just using phone for social media,watch UA-cam and take picture...I'm not into playing games...
The most detailed review. I noticed u talked about usb version which non reviewers talked about it.
Thanks a bunch! The USB speed is indicative of HDMI output and also having better transfer speed is better for videographers ✌️
@@NasiLemakTech can u suggest to me the best usb c to hdmi cable for dex.
I think any should work fine. Would you want USB hubs too for mouse and keyboard?
@@NasiLemakTech definitely
I suggest getting a USB-C hub (like the Ugreen one shown in the video) as it comes with HDMI and a few more USB ports.
Can literally become a desktop replacement lol
Should I buy the S21 ultra in 2022? I think the price will drop more after the launching of s22 series... Plz help
Can't tell for sure - wait till the S22 series comes out and see how big the gap in terms of the price is

s21 fe vs s20 fe ??? Can you compare that , especially since the s20 fe 4g lte sd865 version is available for RM 1749, thanks
At that price, just get the S20 FE 4G. It's still a fantastic phone.
This S21 FE is mostly just improvement in the chipset and comes with 5G compared to the S20 FE.
thanks, infact s20 fe Lte going for RM 1599 in flash sales now, often has flash sales at this price, lowest I have seen.
Might as well go for it. Do bear in mind that the S20 FE only has two more years of software support vs. the 3 years on the S21 FE.

How's the battery life using 5G Data connection while watching YT? Would it last 6 hours or more?
Sadly our country's 5G network coverage is poor and I couldn't do a real life 5G usage test.
@@NasiLemakTech how long does a single charge in your typical usage?
More than a full day, honestly. Sometimes I can survive the day with more than 50% left at the end of the day.
@@NasiLemakTech wow. That's terrific. I wonder why other users are having a hard time getting 4 hrs of SOT.

i dont play genshin impact
Is it good to play PUBG casually in this phone?
Yep
How does the battery perform in real life usage?
One day and more for my usage.
1 day, if dont use all time 120hz
