The Samsung Galaxy s21 FE 5g will be supported for awhile. It will get Android 15, and 16. After which it will still receive security patches for a year.
Current S21 user here. Best phone i've ever owned hands down. After 2.5 yrs as my daily driver in 2024, even with the battery life and overheating issues, I'm still thinking twice on whether its worth upgrading to the current S24 series.
Get s23 bro. S24 is back to exynos. There are no exynos models in s23 and it's pretty affordable now if you trade in your s21. You'll definitely appreciate the upgrade
Still using this phone to this day. Just got upgraded to One UI 6.0. Plastic back? Less weight and fits in the pocket........Newer phones are just cameras with a phone attached, LOL. Was looking for a video on this phone for 2024, was not disappointed with your review, thanks!
@@kingofthe_hotdogslol8754, they may not always automatically update. Sometimes you have to make the phone itself check for updates. It's in the Settings.
The S21's battery is still so good. I got my S21 over a year ago and its been through hundreds of charge cycles, but the phone still get about 7½ hours of SOT which is really good.
glass just adds cost, we lose grip and end up having to spend more to cover it so we can hold onto the phone. I think a textured back is the move so we have a grip on the device in our hands.
Agreed. I used to have an S10 before upgrading to S21 in December 2021, I always have the tendency to protect my phone at all costs since the S10 was basically a glass with metal sandwich. Now on the 21 is still with me and even dropping it makes me feel assured since it have a plastic back
I have s21, by far the best phone I ever bought. As someone who only uses their phone for Spotify and some social media, it's great. It's still fast and responsive even with Android 14.
As far as software support, I'm pretty sure that the S21 series are supposed to be getting one more Android update to Android 15 and then they will most likely end there plus a couple of years of security updates. From what they announced in 2022 that starting with the S21 phones, they will be giving four years of Android updates.
So far my problems with my s21 1. Battery drains fast 2. Phone overheats 24/7 3. Either the battery has started to expand or the heat from the phone has started melting the adhesive and the back has started coming off 4. Screen has started to burn in Im gonna buy the s25 plus when it comes out
Mines is good on battery with the energy saver on lasts all day with medium usage. Perhaps just replace the battery. I couldn't see any reason to upgrade to s24
Battery drains faster after 2 years. They always do that so we have to buy new phones. They fuck with the os system on purpose. Apple got sued for that in 2017! They all do it.
I've never kept a phone beyond two years prior to now... But I'm still satisfied with s21 and S21u. I feel an update to the newer phones won't feel amazing enough to justify it... Especially when I have the exact same software.
@@QuickBread I never thought of myself as well off. Maybe I'm just wasteful... Lol Phones are like toys. But they aren't as impressive year after year like they once were. So Its time to stop wasting that type of money
Don't need to be rich to upgrade every two years.. just need a good carrier and phone plan that does trade in and allows you to pay off the phone in monthly installments. I do the same BTW every two years. I currently have the S24 Ultra.
i have the S21plus, its really a nice phone with a "wow effect". Android 15 is coming for it, but i dont know if i still have it then because i like a new Phone from time to time. But S21plus is perfect Phone
It's probably best we didn't get a glass back, I can hold onto my phone without a case and if it was glass we'd be putting the phone into a case so we could hold it.
If I am taking S21 at 17k or S1 ultra at 24k from middle east, will it beat Motorola edge 50 which is my next targeted phone in terms of camera and ip rating and software experience(I know S21 series will stop with Android 14 update)
Just bought one of these so I’m even more excited to get it now 😁 it may not be the best but it’s still a huge upgrade from iPhone SE 😂 and it’s soooo much cheaper then iPhones! I bought the S21 refurbished on Amazon for only £218 🤯 and if it’s as good as the reviews then I’m gonna be VERY happy with this phone 😌
High end samsungs are a bargain, they devaluate way more than It's iPhone equivalent Would say there is a difference of 50-100 euros on the 2nd hand market
@@michaelashe5265 it's an amazing phone I got the 256gb for the same price as the 128gb version the battery life is great the features are great problem free would recommended
Whatever you do, DON'T BUY IT UNLOCKED! In the used market, buy it that is locked to YOUR carrier! I got the plus version, and it performs extremely well, the cameras were absolutely amazing, and everything you have dreamed of. However, here is one problem. THE SERVICE. I barely had any 5G. I always have LTE, and if it does have LTE, it barely works. It says it has LTE Cat20, but for unlocked it probably has like Cat6. Sometimes I don't even get service. That's just sad, because it's such a very powerful phone, and if it did have good service, I would still be very happy with it. When it did have 5G, it was very fast 5G, which was at least good. The battery life was all right. It was used, so it's not the best. I got a Pixel 7a, but I hated that one, because it's basically a ChromeOS phone, not an android. The service was just a little bit better. I then got an A54 locked to T-Mobile, and the service is AMAZING! Just don't get unlocked phones, because they are not worth it. Also, try getting something new, not used.
i have an iphone 15 and i'm getting a galaxy s21 for secondary i dont even know what the s21 even means cause i never ever had a smart phone that isn't made by apple so wish me luck.
The good news is the S24 Plus, if the rumors are true, we're getting QHD again and possibly 120Hz at the full resolution. Then we can have the best of both worlds. So we won't have to get the Ultra. The regular S24 is still supposed to have a 1080p screen.
@@TheZestySoul97 I mean, the latest update android 14 of s21 had greenline issue. that's why I'm not very sure to buy it. but thanks for the answer though.
@GEM-eq9zj never really liked having small screens that's but I couldn't let go of android even if I use an iPhone already. I'll probably wait for the official Samsung release next week.
Reviewers are never happy with any new cell phone that debuts. Each one likes certain features on the phones and dislikes others. So why don't you guys build your own cell phone with the features you guys want on your phone. It's like buying a golf cart and complaining about how slow it moves and doesn't compare to a ferrari. SMH
This, but please note that 3 years into it you will be charging it twice a day. During summer and especially when you drive and have GPS on with music through Bluetooth it's going to turn into a frying pan, you'll be able to cook your eggs on the back of it
@@LilJimmyy Matter of preference with the operating system (iOS vs Android). Both devices will be supported until 2026, but the S21 is a newer one so it comes with the benefits of its time, including a refresh rate of 120Hz (adaptive) while the iPhone 11 series comes with 60Hz which is a dealbreaker to me personally. Check if the iPhone 11 will support the upcoming iOS 18 because it'll be a large update for Apple products. If not, try to get a newer iPhone that'll get the iOS 18 or buy the S21 if you like it, you won't go wrong with it except for the small inconveniences that I mentioned.
