How is the battery holding up?
Same, and we're both named Lamar
Edit: I got Mine for Christmas and it's a phone I wanted for a while
@@GabrielGomes-lc1ef I have the same phone and battery is pretty good
I've had mine since a few days after it released and it's been a genuinely very solid phone all the way through its lifespan so far👍🔥
@@lamarstafford Can you hide the camera punch hole without installing an app?
As disabled college student who uses his phone as part of his medical devices, I have been looking for a more high end phone that can still be within my budget by saving up. Please keep making these kind of looking back videos as they are so very very useful for people like me who cannot get the newest stuff but need good tech still!!!
Much love from the Netherlands
What can it help from disable student..?pls shared thanks
I think it's a really good phone. Everybody talks about the back being plastic but I really like that it's plastic. It makes the phone a lot lighter and if you were to drop it it won't shatter the back. I don't get the preoccupation with putting glass on the back of the phone. I remember I used have a Nokia 920 that was red made out of the same plastic and it was great. Anyway, that's a good phone. Well worth the money and you can always get it on sale. It's a no-brainer.
Couldn't agree more, my all plastic galaxy a70 is ridiculously tough. Plastic acts as a shock absorber.
exactly that almost everyone uses a case nice and captivating that glass I am also glad that it is plastic
I'm a S22 Ultra user and am enthusiastic about the S21 FE. I bought one for my mother for Christmas. Works perfectly, up-to-date software, very smooth and can do everything you need. Rationally speaking, it's also a better deal compared to what I paid for the Ultra.
@@dandelokat6323 SPen is the main reason for me. Especially that you can store it in the phone. If I had an extra pen, I would either forget it at home or lose it. In principle it works, the only thing missing are the remote features. But I don't use it anyway.
Galaxy ultra series is really ultra expensive
Only reason why I would take s22 ultra instead of s21fe is because of s22 ultra camera
@@Joox_02 For many, the camera seems to be the most important feature of all. For me not that important. I want the SPen and a really big screen. Everyone just has their priorities.
S21fe and original s series both system animation and visual effects both are different while opening apps and back button???
I purchased the S21 FE unlocked from Samsung store with 256 GB storage & 8 GB memory a year ago. FE stands for fan edition. I am definitely a fan. One the greatest feature of the phone is that it is light weight. I put skins on my phones to keep them thin and handy. It has a slot for a second sim card. I just put a second line (for my business) on this phone and it is working great.
How are you feeling about the battery ? any other issues?
@@schnickschnack4030 No problem with the batteries. If I drain the phone because of heavy use, I have a power bank that fast charges. The best thing is the light weight of the phone.
@@darylefleming1191 Thank you for the information!
@@darylefleming1191how many hours of sot have you been getting your answers matters a lot
@@kenanshora6-7
i bought this phone 3 weeks ago, and really worth upgrade from my poco f3. the selling point is One UI, Screen, and the Camera. Oh and the glasstic imo better than glass backcover, it support wireless charging and lighter
Man I sold my poco f3 and bought this too got the 256gb and I love oneui more than miui frl it's a good phone like the display better 👍
@@waynenash4447 haha same case, at first i don't really hate miui imo it's decent UI as for performance, battery, and some features, but after using ONE UI 5.0 for few weeks gosh i never want back to Miui in future 🙂
How is the battery performance, does it improves over time, i have heard it's not upto the mark
@@yogeshjangid7105 it does, for first 2 days of usage i only get 4+ hours SoT, and now i get 7-8+ hours easily for social media only, 5-6 hours with gaming
@@rkustanto your version exynos?
I bought this device in July 22 and it's an amazing phone. Great performance all around, great camera. I'm satisfied 👌
Swore I would never buy a Samsung phone after trying friends' phones a few years back. I liked the hardware but absolutely hated the Touch Wiz software. Long story short, I decided to give them another try and bought the S21 FE a few weeks ago. I couldn't be happier with it. One UI is a huge improvement on Touch Wiz and provides a lot of really useful customization, without compromising the Android experience. Got it at a great price on an open box deal and absolutely love it.
Are you still happy ? What about the battery ? Any other issues ? Cheers
@@schnickschnack4030 Hi, yes still very happy. No issues at all and normally get between 5 and 6 hours of screen-on time despite setting it to only charge to 85% to protect the battery, which is a feature I like. If you're trying to decide whether to buy one I would say go for it.
Bought this phone almost a year ago and I can say this phone is a great phone. Mine is Exynos 2100, not the Snapdragon 888 but I'm having great performance for daily usage. Still worth to buy in 2023 if you're a Samsung fan and want to buy a great budget flagship phone.
How is the battery life ? Can it last about a day with average use ?
@Hooman_Soprano for my phone: 85% at 7am (I'm using protect battery mode), i charge back at 15% at 5pm. So i can say 10 hours of battery. Difficult to achieve 1 day battery life.
@@wanxzamir Thanks bro that's helpful 🙏🏻
@Hooman_Soprano no worries bro.
Same bro mine version was exynos 2100
The ui and software experience is top notch. Display is dope and camera is also very reliable in any light condition.
And battery?
@@youtubevanced69 battery is good after few weeks. If you use 60hz its even better but i still reccomend using 120hz

Honestly, I had no regrets buying Samsung Galaxy S21 FE in 2023. Because the specification is quite similar to the regular Samsung Galaxy S21, but the Fan Edition comes with a bigger Battery (4500mah), bigger Screen (6.4") and same ChipSet as the S21 (Exynos 2100 - Asia Region). Camera wise, I'm not too concerned about it because when I took a picture using my S21 FE, the result still looks perfect 👍🏻. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase 😄. Ohh, not to forget, 4 years of OS Updates and 5 years of Security Updates hehe 😊
S21FE release on January 2021 so actually 2 years OS update
Does it overheat? And how about the battery life?
@@RastToli2022 fela , it has 3 years of android left and 4 years of security
I still have my S21 FE, and I'm still using it. It makes great calls and takes awesome pics and videos, so it's definitely still worth it!
How is the camera?
@@Khan-pti-804 Great! It takes great pics and videos like I said.
@@benjimartinnc how is the battery? There are lots of bad comments about it. How long does it take to get zero battery?
Im on a Samsung Galaxy S8+ (yes I've had my phone 5 years) stopped at Version looking to upgrade. They recommended this phone as best option since I told them I didn't need the brand new top of the line model. After watching this review and reading the comments, Ill be going back in a couple days to get it. Pretty excited.
"Verizon"?
It was either this or the a53 for upgrading and while I miss the A series a little, it made sense going for the 21fe... ok, the battery life isn't perfect but I would think it's because the more powerful processor than my a52... still waiting for the 13 upgrade and sitting on the November security patch.
Went for the S21 FE and had the 13 upgrade about three weeks ago. Least now I'm feeling relatively current.
For me I thought about getting the a53 but I guess this one is better for me even if it costs more. Currently I'm using the A8 from 2018 and it is going to be a huge upgrade for me
@@jayjwd I bought the S21 FE before I realized there was a A53 .. but then felt it was a good choice anyways with the updates and all.
Well i bought it for $400 two weeks ago, worth every bit. great battery life if you are not a gamer or phone addict. it lasts me almost 24hrs. camera is best in this price point, and has pretty much everythign which a flagship phone should have.
Is it indian unit?
Whats ur screen on time
Did he completely miss talking about the battery and how long we can expect samsung to update this phone... ?
Switched from an Iphone se 2020 to this phone about 5 months ago, absolutely no complaints. It's a great phone, and coming from iphone the customizability is great. The only issue is on the one game I play on my phone, genshin impact, just runs awfully. No clue why, the specs are great, but its unplayable. No issue for me since I do have a decent computer, but, just be aware if you do game on your phone.
You have sd888 or exynos 2100?
I got Snapdragon 6/128 version for 437 USD, so worth it. Somehow takes bit sharper photos than my friend's s21 Ultra with exynos
I bought S21 FE since April 2022, good camera, wireless and reversible charging, resistant to water and dust, it is an excellent cell phone, greetings from Colombia.
I really love and appreciate your reviews! I wish more people did the same. Keep it up my G 🙂
Bought this phone at around 650 euros 7 months ago. Vey happy with this phone. Quality build. I like the matte back and the metal sides. Camera is very good for an average user that doesn't use a phone solely for its camera. Meaning that the camera definitely is not the best but it gets the job done. Dark lighting photos are its weakness but if it's a bright atmosphere then the pictures will come out very good. The best part about the camera is the video camera. Very smooth 4k with 60 fps. Software had its flaws because of the updates. Sometimes after an OS update the phone would be flawless, but after the next one some problems would appear. Ghost touches after using the fingerprint scanner were annoying (you would always unlock a random app wherever your finger was on the screen when you were unlocking your phone) Heating issues while watching movies/streaming or playing games. Sometimes the phone would get really hot and suddenly your 120hz screen becomes a 60hz screen with stutters. After a major OS update everything was fixed. Fingerprint scanner is very fast but sometimes doesn't do as well. Might be because of liquids/debris on the screen or finger. Battery is okey. Usually can last a whole day but there are many variables to this. So far I love this phone. Flagship or at least up in there somewhere.
Would you recommend this phone then? Have the stutters, battery issues fixed?
@@mickymac432 same question, I hope the original commentator reply to this question 🙏🏻
Hello, can i might ask you, since you own the phone since 10 months now,, you mentioned most issues except the fingerprint got fixed through a major OS Update. How happy are you with the phone nowadays? any major issues ? I cant decide if i buy this or not, many bad comments about the battery, display getting scratches fast, heat issues and so on....... cheers mate
@@schnickschnack4030no heat battery great FP fast ..happy one ui 6 due soon nice lightweight hate these big phones
Main reason I bought this was the 4 major os updates till Android 16 and 5 years of security updates
It only has 6gb of ram in 2023,even my 2019 honor has 8gb of ram
@@edn2746 only for you to call,browse and play a bit of games
@@edn2746 people in my neighborhood still used phones with 4gb ram it works immaculately for everyday tasks aside from heavy games
@@edn2746 True, but pros outweight the cons, plus virtual ram is there.
@@edn2746ram tends to use more battery and 6 and 8 GB of ram don't differ , like in numbers yes but in actual day to day usage no , the iPhone has still this day 6gb of ram ,
It's so crazy how you sound similar to "Chills". He does the same type of pauses when he speaks.
There are only 2 things that I don't like about this phone - bad battery life (unfortunately SD888 and next SD 8 Gen 1 are very power hungry CPUs, so it's not just this phone problem) and not so reliable fingerprint scanner (in my case, in 1 of 3 unlocks doesn't recognise my fingerprint)
Anything else is great and I think it's pretty well balanced phone.
Mine is a solid phone overall. Performance is ample, display is great, camera is wonderful, few issues overall. Still waiting for One UI 5 and the battery is certainly not the best. It also tends to heat up some during gaming (not excessively, but it can definitely warm up)
I have to disagree about the battery since it is pretty good
One ui 5 на него вышла уже более месяца назад.У меня уже стоит 3 обновление 5 версии прошивки,положительных изменений много и самое главное для меня изменение цветовой гаммы в режиме насыщенных цветов,теперь от работы дисплея в этом режиме не вытекают глаза,как на 4 версии one ui,автономность лучше,плавность лучше.Я нашел только 1 недостаток-баг ползунка яркости
@@ПростоУитн what
Can I transfer EVERYTHING from my Samsung Galaxy A71 to this phone easily. I'm an 'oldie' and I'm so used to My A71 so will it be easy to make the transition to the S21FE. I'd be grateful for your advice. Thanks
@@tinabarga Yes! You can move basically everything from your A71 to your new S21 FE. First, I recommend saving a backup to the cloud. Go to Settings, then tap "Backup and Restore", then, under "Samsung Cloud", tap "Backup." You will then be able to easily back up all your A51's data. Make sure to do this right before switching, even if you've already done it in the past, or else the data may not be current. Then, you can open Smart Switch, an app that is already installed on your A51, and it will guide you through the steps to transfer your data either wirelessly or through the provided USB-C cable. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any more questions :)
What do you you recommend, S21 fe 6gb ram or A54 8gb ram?
I just got this phone yesterday via exclusive offer where i literally pay $0/month for 24 months. After the 24 months i can return the phone and pay $0 or keep the phone for only $264 CAD.
i have A53 5G and i always suffer in typing because the screen do not recognize the exact character you are touching, thus a lot of error in typing and when i delete a character it will delete the whole very long message i already type so i have to start from the beginning again and the problem repeats again and again. i sometimes want to throw my phone because it's very annoying, and it happens during busy and urgent situations. Before im a big fan of Samsung. But as they make their phones very expensive while the specs are downgraded and a lot of issues appear i will surely switch to other brand.
May i ask you, is a plastic film as a protection enough for this phone or is tempered glass better ? thanks!
I switched from the A53 which I was surprised is a tad bit larger than this S21FE. But I do get great camera performance so it's still a win
Currently using the A51, is it a major upgrade?
@@echoloqe3750 no
Battery life
Here in Thailand it can be bought newfor around 420 usd, exynos processor for a 128gb version. I feel like that's a pretty good deal, especially coming from s10e which had tiny battery but pretty good camera, so an upgrade overall, and it's only slightly more than Chinese brands which usually stop supporting their products the moment they're released on the market...
bought this phone 6 months ago it's been excellent worth spending a little more for 256gb with 8 GB ram
Found one on ebay for 119.99 its locked to att and is 128 GB, the only thing i am going to hate about this phone is not having SD storage. I have heard some people say that samsung will work with USBC storage devices but your going to be limited to pictures and videos.
my one has issues with lag and processor over heating just using basic apps.
in the battery more options I turned off adaptive battery and change processing speed to high.
let's hope it fixes the issue
The screen resolution is 1080 x 2340 pixels, and the aspect ratio is 19.5:9. OK?
It's worth buying because the price is so much lower than new flagships, but the fan edition should have expandable storage like the S20 FE. I decided to switch from the A52 to this simply because I got bored of the A52 and I wanted a better camera. That being said, I had to delete half of my videos due to the lack of storage. The least they could have done was given it 256 gb of storage. I might end up going back to the A52 down the road if I end up running out of storage. If you can find this for under 300 dollars I say go for it and if you can't you might as well get something like the A54 which has expandable storage.
Just Ordered the Lavender color, Camera and price is the top reason
I brought mine a couple weeks ago and i love it
I just bought one about a month ago. Am very pleased with it. It does everything I need a phone to do at half the cost of a S23!
Enjoying mine ..my only worry is battery life, which is pretty normal
I got the 256gb in uk and found it was the triple 888 when I went on geek bench sad gpu is adreno 660 which is the 888 model
Hey, I've been wondering is 128gb enough storage for say the average person. Considering thy took away the micro SD card support
I think it depends on what you use the phone for... how many pictures/videos are you planning to download, the number of apps you'll get in addition to the bloatware pre-installed on the phone. Also, keep in mind that with subsequent software and security updates more storage space is gonna be used up. It should do for the average user though.
I gave this phone for my mothers Bday gift. She got finally a new phone after more than 5 years. Its definitly worth it.
Have a 3o watt charger from realme and its charging this phone very slow. I consider it a scam that they not providing the fitting charger and will not buy Samsung ever again.
what phone is better than this for a similar price? i can buy it for 400 us aprox
Xiaomi 12T or S21 FE. Need a good battery and camera.
Have the s21fe but looking at the s23 plus in the next months hoping it drops quick in price
This phone with Snapdragon is great but the exynos one is disaster...
Bought it for my mom in Jan 2024. She absolutely loves it. It's snappy, premium and pretty easy to use. It's display is just gorgeous for the price point. Great buy!
Till when we can expect OS and security updates on this model ?
they have a 40% discount now going, should i take it?
s21fe snapdragon vs pixel7 batter phone?
After launching s23 do you think that s22 series will get price drop on 1st Feb??
Yes
Still have an iPhone XS and don't know if I should stay with apple or switch to Android.
Idk what to do anymore but im trying so hard to make this phone fast again just like it is normaly but scores are 755 single core and multicore is 2582 and its not because of not restarting or no storage space or just anything like that. Anyone have tips for more speed? Most of the time my scores are like 600 and 2000.
I had the S20FE for 2 years, using the A53 5G now. Why the switch? Well. Cracked screen on the fe and used up all tge internal storage and sd card 128 and 256. Should have gotten a 1 terabyte sd card xd
Great review Kevin! - Thanks for posting it. 👍Based on your positive comments I've decided to go with like-new certified pre-owned S21 FE phones for both myself and my wife on a 24-month payment plan with our provider. The monthly payment amount will be $15 per phone, so a great deal. Btw.. you and I share the same last name. Cheers Richard
Where would you be purchasing yours? I'm looking to buy one
@@christabelogb4854 Hi Christa. I'm in Canada and I was going to be getting the S21 FE phones through our cell phone service provider "Fido". But since writing my comment here I have decided to outright buy refurbished model S21 (not "FE") phones from an online retailer - either BestBuy or Newegg. Just trying to work out now which listing gets me the best deal and phones in the best possible condition. Good luck with your search. Cheers Richard
I love the phone, but haven't figured out why my text message notification has to be dragged down to a "Remove" icon before I can open the message. Any idea, anyone?
How many Android OS updates will S21FE get?
Had my s21fe for a month now its a great phone but my Samung paytab at the bottom always dissappears on its own but when I go into the app it reappears. Sometimes apps don't load when I have too many open. But I still love the phone
I also have s21 fe for almost 9 months and I've never had problem with it except when i do a video, the sound from the front speaker is piercing and scritching(So i turned off the front speaker when watching videos) But other then that the phone is my best buy
Does the phone also have a finger print reader on the power button?
What phone is you recording the video with?
Galaxy S10
If this had expandable storage and the 3.5 audio jack, would buy it and keep it for several years.
Compare to xia 11t pro which one should i buy in 2023??
still using galaxy s8 on android 7.0 and still runs perfectly as it did when new. never updated software...never needed to
Bought mine in may '22 and if i could turn back time i would have stuck with the Xiaomi Note (8) Pro series .
Mine uses the Exynos 2100 and my only complaint is the overheating issue. Video calls become not sharp , google map turns to Dark mode all due to overheating.

S21 fe
If you want a great camera, go for the pixel 6a, otherwise s21fe is a better deal.
Hi just buy OPPO 🤣
Het is een zeer goede telefoon, en ik heb hem bewust gekozen door zijn plastic achterkant.
Hiervoor verschillende telefoons gehad met glas, het ziet er mooi uit maar zelfs in een hoesje ging de achterkant nog kapot. Hopelijk blijven ze de nieuwe modellen bouwen zoals deze s21fe.
Gewoon een top toestel en werkt fijn samen met zowel mijn smartwatch als mijn autoradio
I have to ask
I currently have the Huawei P40 Lite and i want to upgrade to the S21 FE 5G, is it worth it? Or should i head for the S22?
S21 FE is really the same phone with better battery life but is cheaper than S22.
How many years of security updates will the S21 FE still get??
Should get 4
5 security and 4 os
It's been out a year though so it'll get 4 MORE years of security updates and 3 more years of software updates (original it's 5 years of security and 4 years of software).
i have a 3.5 yr old A70. Is it worth getting s21fe or wait for s22fe??
Just picked up one for the Wife she got to trade in her Galaxy S10 and get new Phone for less than $200.00 So from that aspect it it a great Value.
Which cell phone is better to buy - A73 or S21FE?
The difference between them is $126.
What are the significant differences between them?
S21 fe has a telephoto lens.. high quality zoom.
Also u get samsung Dex.. u can use it aa it connects to a PC. U get a flagship chipset.. means better stabilization. That also means better processing for photos and videos. Also u get Gorilla glass Victus.. means better protection for ur phone. So thats quite alot of differences.
I have a a71 5g should I upgrade for s21 fe or the s22
Can I buy this mobile today.?
Great video Kevin!
Happy new year!
If you like 5 g there is a serious issue for the last year we're now in 2023 and Samsung still has not fixed this issue with the 5G not working even tho 5g is available in my state 99% of the time it does not work the cell phone companies are blaming Samsung Samsungs are blaming it on the cell phone companies and they refuse to fix this issue
A lot of it has to do with lack of towers. In my case I have a metal roof on my house which drops my 5G down to 4G LTE sometimes. My phone still works good though.
Make a video saying " best phones to buy "
wired charging is 25 watt, not 15.
Is anyone having fast idle battery drain after android 13?
Do you know which version for US carrier ?
you call it "Ash 21" instead of S 21 :-D
Bought one for 250 euros sh. Compared to my xiaomi 11t cameras are a little bit better and battery a little bit worse. But i'd consider it a good deal
I just bought one from AT&T for 99 cents without a trade-in.
I feel that this phone is totally worthit, great display, cameras are consistent overall my experience is nothing short of superb.
I think it is worth it.
