Am I the only one looking at this video on an S8 and feeling still good with it?
Same
me too
I have an S8, but my battery sucks. Considering the S21... despite the Exynos processor
Me too 🔥🔥🔥
I am and I was, until they offered to let me trade it in straight across :/ if they didn't offer me that I don't think I'd make the switch.
The S8 and the S8 Plus are the most comfortable phones I've ever used.
except for the fingerprint placement
@@aimanhakeem21 So true!
@@hoppysport2872 hell no, the finger print sensor is in the best spot
@@simonc6959 yeah if u get used to s8 fingerprint placement .. other fingerprint placement will feel awkward
Except for the fingerprint placement and the heat issues
S8 was my first flagship phone i ever bought right after it had launched. It was nice being able to buy a flagship for 500$.
Im on my 4th one or so and finally cancelled insurance.. i love it though and just cant bring myself to the upgrade. Other than android OS, I cant justify it. I still have my microSD and headphone jack. I just hate how easy the s8 screen is to break.
@@ALittleOG I had to have my digitizer/glass replaced twice because it cracked in the same spot twice on the curved edge. Then got rid of it after it stopped notifying me of calls or voice-mails that led to a dramatic situation forming. Will stick to flat bezeless phones from now on.
@@motoholyness8795 I am with you on that. I didnt even think about the s21 being flat. That does make me think twice about the upgrade.. the S8 is just pefect IMO and i hate to spend another 750 or so just for a flat screen and android upgrades :/
S8 is a very good phone, in 2 months I have it for 4 years. Still working good! It became a bit slower but still very good
@@ALittleOGbut there are also midrange phones you can get for much cheaper! You can even get the S20 Fe for fairly cheap
My s8+ still has no burn in and I've had it since 2017
If you use dark mode you'll get it
@@ifrazilyas5165 I always use dark mode & it’s all good tho
Liar
I'm not saying this is a concrete "will or won't" thing, but from my six years in professional phone repair, I noticed that the majority of the people who have burn in use always on display, and the people who's S8/Note 8 has no burn in usually disable AOD.
i've never used my AOD on my s8 but i have severe burn ins
S8 has over S21 - MicroSD Card slot, headphone jack, 1440p display
S21 is downgrade hehe
S21 offers 256gb worth of storage.
Even though the screen is 1080p, it still far superior. Far better colour accuracy, better brightness, better HDR, and it's 120hz vs 60 on the s8.
The aux jack... Yeah. Literally no reason for these companies to get rid of it.
you forgot Glass back
S8 also has push-to-unlock the screen option, which I found very useful. Also S8 has aptX BT, while S21 only allows you to use SBC. S8 is also notably lighter and fits better in hand cause it's longer and thinner. Also S8 has a dedicated led indicator for missed calls/messages, it is so useful! All these things I was using and got used to are now gone. And Samsung offers impractical options instead. Shall I even start talking about no charger in the package. Even cable in the package is type-c to type-c, so It's not even USB3 to type-c, so you can't use it with old charger. I'm furious how Samsung S21 turns out to be a ridiculous scam. They just take the good things and remove them and what they give you in return?! A bigger camera?! Its a joke.
@@ItzSebas1550 bullshit. I am using it for 4 years now in spigen case. A lot of hard falls, the case is damaged a lot but the phone is superb... pnly way slowet than on the start
You need to actually try pressing the apps at the same time as you’re making the s21 not look like it’s worth the upgrade
It really bothers me that I would be getting a lesser screen resolution switching from a 2017 phone to a 2021. It makes no sense to me and I can't justify it.
because screen resolution is not the all thing.
it can not make any visible difference
@@bsie_yt I just recently switched my PC to a 1440p screen from a 1080p screen and there is a noticeable difference in clarity. I'm sure that difference applies to most screens in most settings.
@@bsie_yt there's definitely a noticeable difference for me
Ikr
For a 4 year old phone it still holds its own the S8 I gotta say. Sure the S21 is definitely faster but nothing crazy enough to spend almost 2 grand on the new S21 when next year it's just going to get replaced again with the S22. They really need to start releasing phones 2 years apart from each other not necessary to release a new model every year
I agree
That's the reason I upgrade every 2-3 years.
@@hitmannhd1988 I upgrade every 3 years or longer depending on the phone. Galaxy phones tend to last me longer then 2 years since flagship Samsung Galaxy phones just keep getting better and better that it gives me more reasons to wait longer for a bigger upgrade. If I'm spending that kind of money on a phone I want it to be a massive jump
@@ChemicalCorpse91 same that's how I feel
Not even close to 2 grand but I get you it sucks but the same thing happens with cars they always make newer ones every year and only do lil approvements
Only like if you have s21 or s8
Thanks for this review. I've been wanting to upgrade my S8 and this review is what I was looking for.
I'm still rocking the s8 not because I cant afford the S21 but because I've never had an issue with it just seemed like a waste of money to upgrade I'm with Verizon I have $6 insurance on my phone and if something happens to it I'll get an upgrade to a newer model anyway like the s9
Simple, i know you're busy but please 🙏 where did you get the s21 wallpaper???
Lol he says the s21 faster cause he clicks on it first :p
imma hold my s8 till 2022
Imma hold my s8+ till it die
I probably won't I might get rid of it in september, i got it in september 2018 and i love it, but the battery is really worn so much and it shows
@@nishay7452 i have s8 plus and the battery is very good for me
@@mandezo5162 I only have an s8 so battery life isn't great atm
@@nishay7452 Replace the battery man ... or upgrade for a newest version if have some money..... but don't buy iPhone ( iPhone's batteries are shit )
I just upgraded to the S21 Ultra with 512g since my S8 Active is getting a little long in the tooth but it performs well. I have a 128gb SD card and I was hoping that the S21 would've kept that going as well as the jack feature and that's why I'm keeping it. I also still have my S6 Active and still performs great during this time as well. Only complaint that I have with it that they did away the SD card slot for it. The main reason I kept it was because of it's built in IR feature, to be able to have universal control over any TV that I wish. The S6 was the last phone to have that. It's nice to have that feature in some public places.
Both my S6 and S8 had that same issue - where the silhouette of the icons would appear whenever I opened an app with a light background. What is up with that???
Yes same with my S8. I've had it since it first came out, but I'd like to know also. I'm upgrading to the s21 though. My battery health is terrible now too, but I'm glad it's lasted me all these years.
I bought my Galaxy S8 brand new with 64 GB in it and 14.8 GB in sd card I loved it and still do .the camera has always sucked,I love the size,the speed,the screen resolution ,I love the jack cause I love using big headphones , it's still running strong but reaching the end in internal storage so I will be upgrading to the S21 with over 128 GB I cannot even imagine how many pics,music,apps, movies I would use to fill that up, it's like a dream for me I'm very excited and can't wait ....along with a smartwatch 3 I can say this is sweet .
It really is the nice higher res screen on the S8 that I liked over my S21, the one thing they should've kept. For some reason, my S8 photo's came out better than the ones on the S21 as well, with more vibrant colors and slightly better contrast, but that might've been a lucky fluke I had on the lense, or some change to the software (filters probably) that just doesn't work as well for me.
I had the S8. It was time to change ! My silver S21 Ultra is pretty big next to it (5.8' -> 6.8') and I still have to get used to the size ! But apart from that, it's such à pleasure !
Sadly, there is no more sd but I mainly used it to prevent my data to be automatically erased but hopfully that's gone!
And folks, we have yet another expert phone reviewer!
I also noticed that yiur S8 has the same issue as my s8 plus phone has...burned in APPS on the screen..
How many extra hours will the battery offer?
I’m watching this on my galaxy S8, it has screen burn in but works perfectly still. Going to replace the battery next week! Battery lasted the whole 4 years and only recently started giving me problems.
Where can you get battery replaced?
Can you add in the 3 button control to the bottom of the s21? I literally cannot live without my home, back, and opened apps buttons....its the entire reason I choose android over apple products....I need my buttons visible.
I was heartbroken when my S8 failed on me, I run it for 6 months after the phone speaker failed, taking all calls on loud speaker because I really didn't want to get rid of it. I replaced it last week with the S21, but the S8 was sooo good. As a phone the S8 did everything I wanted it to. Even with 4 years of use constant use and taking tens of thousands of photos, I never maxxed out my SD card + internal memory (192gb) so I'm not too bothered by the lack of SD slot, although nice, not essential.
Simply trick worked for me! Try using putty tack to clean out speaker/hearing port.
Great Review!
I still have my Galaxy S8 since 2018, it's been one of my best phones ever, it has taken a beating, with no screen protector only a cheap cover. I finally broke it this week, and now I'm looking to replace with a cheap S21
The performance comparisons tend to be quite tricky because many apps can't really utilize the newest CPU fully, however, S21 will be substantially faster when you reach the 4 Gigs of RAM limit on the S8. One of the reasons why S8 isn't sufficient to me anymore because I'm always at the peak and the phone is very laggy (very)
I'll stick with my S8 I paid off years ago, over taking 2 years of HIGH monthly payments for "cutting edge technology". The S8 is fine. Why would I waist my $ for a phone that is hardly any different. Sure, the specs are vastly different, but when it boils down to use, it feels and operates no differently. Specs are just another sales pitch.
I feel you on this. My s21 just came in. I'm not a bit excited about it at all. I got a s8 replacing my s10 I broke and I just just paid it off. I fell for the s21 hype. Not worth the worries. Returning it and I'm fine with my s8. The 5g, I dunno the differences.
Jumping from s8 to this cause camera. Better pics of my newborn besides that I didn't care about anything else 🤷🏻♂️
What company? Lol
Im getting the s21 ultra for 500$ down. And just 70$ a month with unlimited everything
@@nighttimestalker just $70/month....just....that's more than my damn water bill bro. 2 years of those payments on top of it. I make a 6 figure salary and I still can't justify a $70/month bill for a damn phone.
Lol you kinda contradicted yourself saying the specs are vastly different but the phone is hardly different. It can't be both of those its either the phones are alike or they aren't alike and I have the s21 and was playing on an s8 and I can tell you BIG difference. Especially if battery life is important..the s8 got maybe 3-4 hours max screen on time while my s21 gets around 9-10 hours of screen on time..plus security updates are worth the upgrade because a phone that no longer receives them can have their information hacked easily. Now I agree paying alot of money for a phone when you have a working phone is a reason to hold back but I had a working moto g power and when the fingerprint sensor started not working right as well as the phone getting stuck on a black screen I splurged for the s21 and there is no way I could go back to an older/slower phone now.
Gotta love that screen burn lol
I have Galaxy note 8 and I am using custom ROM with OneUI 2.5 its stable and smooth
Snapdragon
?
Which rom ?
I like the way he laughed while saying help to support the channel
Freak
@@GameN3rdz oh come on
@@GameN3rdz not what you think it iss
S8 has the best curved display. And best compact size
I would love to see a comparison with the s22 series and s8 since they both have the same battery size.
I so loved the results of the S8's camera!! My current Huawei Mate 20 Pro gives shitty non-stabilised results.
But the S8 gave me tendonitis from stretching my fingers when lying down 'cause is so long. I see the S21 is even longer! 😥
Excellent because of you I'm getting an S21
im using s8 dual sim. just bought last month. it's perfect phone. light weight,comfortable, beautiful, fast and very good battery. no complaint
My S8 was great for about 2 years and then it became unusably slow and would crash constantly. I "upgraded" to a samsung A20 which was a decent phone that lasted me for about 3 years until I got the S21 FE. 120hz really makes a world of difference in usability for me.
Thanks for this review.
Samsung Galaxy S8 is better than Samsung Galaxy S21 in some areas such as Micro SD card slot, headphone jack with 1440P.
After all those years, the difference in performance isn't dramatic. Differences between those phones should be more distinct.
i have s8 still and it works perfect
Same. Mine just has some screen burn in and going to replace the battery soon. The software still works perfectly
I have an S20 FE and I was surprised at how nice the curved screen on my co-worker S8 looks. Beautiful looking 1440p screen too even tho I prefer 120hz.
Wow,my S8+ also have pink and show app icon like that? Why did that happend? I dont even drop the phone
it's burn in, it happened because you left the phone screen on the app icons for too long
@@i_love_games110 oh thank you mate
Anyways the screen broke so I'll buy the S10+
Hope it won't happen again
Just upgraded my S8 to S21 and after a few weeks Ive gotten over the major concerns I had. 1. No headphone jack - using an adapter is not bad, I just leave it attached to the headphones and it has not been as inconvenient as I expected. 2. No micro SD card slot - for me not an issue becuae I have plenty of storage on the device 256GB. It was a must with the 64 GB S8 to extend the total storage but even then you couldnt get 256GB on the S8 (I dont think). Cloud storage is the future anyways. 3. Screen - I still feel like the S8 is the better looking phone and miss the screen. The S21 screen seemed washed out when I first got it compared to the S8 but ive gotten used to it. Hopefully the lower res S21 screen is in favor of improved battery life (the main reason I had to upgrade my S8). Plus Verizon gave me $799 for my S8 and the S21 was only $850 😁😁
That credit towards the 21 is very generous!
That's great. If you don't mind me asking, what adapter would you use to connect earbuds to the S21? I have Airpods so I figured I wouldn't use my wired ones but if I can, I'd love to continue to use those too. I just don't know how to connect them 😅
@@5DNRG They probably just sell their data unfortunately so Idk if generous is the right word
I wish I can get that type of credit when I trade my S20 FE for a S22 Ultra whenever that comes out lol
@@casie6609 just google USB C to 3.5mm Aux. There are thousands of options out there.
Coming from a s7 with QHD resolution I can say the difference in crispiness is really noticable. I would take QHD 60hz over 1080p 120hz any day. Hell I would even trade my s21 8g of ram with 4 GB of RAM and an old 765 Snapdragon without 5g if it meant getting QHD back at 60 Hz. You only really notice the 120hz when scrolling In the main menu (which you only really spend 5% of your time on your phone), in most apps 120hz is not that significant, so although 120hz is nice to have i really donc find it to be that significant. I went In the settings to set a 60hz refresh to save on battery life. All the other cuts Samsung made on the s21 I can happily live with but lowering that QHD res was a big mistake in my opinion.
Agree 100%
I have an S21 Ultra and I really like it. I personally like the curved edges, but I know a lot of people don't. I will say though, that the curved edges aren't great with the optional S-pen that I got for my S21 Ultra. Also, when it comes to gaming performance you can't just put two games next to each other and look at them and then say one's faster. There is a lot going on in the background that needs to be taken into consideration. Also, the high refresh rate is going to make the games smoother, and the faster processor will make the games have more frames per second, especially if you're playing for a long period of time. I'm assuming that if you played the same game on each of those phones for 30 minutes straight, the S21 would have sustained better performance throughout for a longer amount of time. Now, I will admit that the S21 series was somewhat boring, but as one who got the S21 Ultra, I can say that they did a great job fixing and making better the features and failures of last year's S20 series. In regards to the plastic back on the S21, the S21 costs $200 less than last year's S20, so I definitely think it was worth it. Plus, the plastic doesn't look cheap in my opinion.
I'm watching this from my S21. I've been rocking s8 for 3 years.
And still running great. Only thing I won't miss is the curvy screen.
S21 is totally worth it.
Still using S8.. don't even think about buyng new phone, while they not return a curved screen ((
I am on the other side, I miss my S8 vs my new S21 - the new Samsung phones just feel like Apple copies, features for the sake of features.
You dint speak about two points, were S8 beats the s21.
1) Display quality is very sharper than s21, very good for watching high definition videos.
2) 3.5mm Headphone jack , with 32bit dac, high quality audio experience with wired earphones and headphones.
Agreed, been playing side by side videos and the s8 is better in picture quality.
Isn't there an adapter for wired headphones?
The only thing I've seen deteriorate on my S8 is the screen, got a little screen burn at the bottom where social media app functions have taken their toll.
So glad I stopped using caffeine 20 years ago...and still love my incredibly slow S8.
I've been rocking my S8 since 2017 and its starting to get that wear and tear. Of course its Black Friday sales and can get S21 5g 256gb for $199.99. I wanted to continue to ride it till the wheels fall off but the battery life and certain functions are starting to dissipate. Sigh
Is this a joke? For the first time ever it actually makes sense to repair my S8 3 years into having it rather than buy a new one.
I'm just thinking exact same thing. My s8 is still working great after 3 1/2 years of heavy usage. Not sure I can justify the upgrade yet
@@danielscotthorne7061 new battery for $15 and it can easily last several more years
I’m replacing the battery in my S8 next week. It works perfectly, it’s smaller than all these huge phones now, it has a headphone jack, sd card slot. It has minor screen burn in but it’s still great to use
@@oliviagreen8853 I swapped my battery 2 weeks ago and without power opti mode it runs much faster. Probably still dont get the 3500mA and cracked the back glass a bit, but it's the first phone i've ever had fixed or upgraded. The hardwre has plateued, the future is only software.
On average, I upgrade about every other year. At present, I have the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra & have no plan to upgrade this year. Photography & videography are my hobby, and I have to say the photos that were taken w my Galaxy S10 are some of the best in my collection. Of course, the S20 is an excellent phone, I have no complaints except its cost. For the money, I think the Samsung Galaxy S10 is one of the best buys around.
You didn't mention the speaker, I just bought the S21 earlier today, phone is amazing had the S8 for 6 years and it was and still is really good, the Speaker on the s21 is much louder and higher quality
i'm just here because AT&T is running a "free" S21 if I trade in my S8, so thank you for the comparison. you make a pretty big deal of the S8 having better build quality because of the material and curved screen, and that's definitely a respectable opinion, but I personally think the quality is a bit worse in terms of usage. I would much rather prefer a plastic back and no screen curve because personally both make the phone more resilient to damage--and, it lowkey looks way cleaner.
I love my s21
I was salty when I had to buy a headphone jack (dongle) for my Note 20 Ultra. Good times. Mostly use Bluetooth but I need a headphone jack if I wanna burn my own cds on my cd burner. 💿 I'm old school like that.
It's kind of sad that the s20 has no glass back, no headphone jack, no micro SD card slot, no charger in the box... yet I still bought it
S21
Glass needs to go. To fragile for a phone rear.
It at least offers up to 256gb of storage. So the SD card may not really be needed tbh. Would be better to still offer it as an option though.
I can live without getting a charger. Have plenty lol
Aux jack... Yeah. Still literally no reason for it to go Away.
Bro I'm sorry about that burn in with the S8. Night mode ftw.
Wallpapers of Galaxy S8 is millions of times better than any Galaxy device ever released starting from the original 'Galaxy S' upto 'Galaxy S21 Ultra'.
Bruh not even the S21 Ultra has a very nice wallpaper
@@squid.696 Very true!
s8 just great phone Is lacking some battery life and optical zoom 😃
YOU FORGOT ABOUT THE IRIS - SCANNER !!?
About going for s20 instead of s21, would you recommend it even for exynos model?
If you're not a heavy gamer, go with the S20 exynos model
@@girrots even if you're not a gamer, the battery life and Camera are worse than Snapdragon variant
No.
Exynos should always be last ditch
The Exynos is nasty in the S20 & the battery life is additionally terrible due to the non adaptive 120hz display
That's some hardcore screen burn in on the S8..
I just had a new screen put on the S8 and it is working fine. I will be in the market for a new phone in maybe a year. The new Samsungs and Google pix6 look good however getting my phone to work like new makes me hold a little longer for price drop on current phones. For an old phone it still holds its own.
*How much did you pay for the new screen?*
@@MaruxShinigami it was just over hundred bucks. If you check around you can probably find a deal.
@@youresowitty8973 *Ok, thanks!*
Not many people care about sd card slot or a plastic back
I STILL have my S8 & it works perfectly...I'll keep it till it dies!! Not sure how you say it's so outdated?? My daughter just got an S21 & they're the same to me. I'd rather have the plastic back honestly... the back glass broke cracked pretty fast on mine
I think he just meant that it's outdated because technological years go so quickly. A new phone comes out every year so even if the S8 is still an awesome phone, it's considered "old".
Lack of security updates is a good reason why it's outdated
just upgraded from an s9 to an s21 last week
The burn in on the S8 is extreme lol
S8+ user here, just bought s21 and looking same yt videos on both. Image on s8+ looks much better then s21, what a shame...
the only thing that I don't like about the s8 ( I own one) is the screen. Don't know what technology they used but the screen reflect old screen time. Like in the video you can see some app Icons on the screen that wont go , they are here forever. At 10:00 you can see it clearly. This is what bothers me about the s8 but in his global its an excellent phone.
this is a problem with all oled phones, so basically all of samsung and apple. it is called screen burn in and appears when items are on screen in one place for too long
I be getting the s21 nexts week but I love my s8 dont no what to do
I have an s8... should i upgrade?
Yes
@@MrGESE-ue4se samsung said no on oayments :/

@@anitavuksic9853 definately the s21

My only complain with the s8 is that the battery doesn't last too much now, out of that it still works perfectly 💗s8
S8 vs pixel 3 what do you think?
Pixel 3 will get android 12
I have the s21 and for a second phone I was considering an s8 or pixel 3a and went with the pixel 3a
Thank youuuù👍👍👍
My mum still has one and tat phone doesn't feel cheap or slow in anyway😊
I can see the screen burn in as soon as I opened the video LOL
So S20 is better option
Honestly I'd rather have the S8. WAY higher resolution screen, better build quality, expandable storage, it still has MST which was eliminated from the whole S21 family, Samsung Daily is more useful than Samsung Free, there's actually a freaking headphone jack, and not having a punch hole in the display means that games like Mario Kart Tour and Shadowgun Legends actually take up the whole screen instead of having a nasty black bar on one side.
It doesn't have the newest Android, but that also means it doesn't have scoped storage breaking things.
Did you ever increase the resolution? Because the S8 is set to 1080p by default. It's likely most people have never touched it
@@neiliewheeliebin I can't speak for most, but I certainly bumped that up to 1440p immediately.
the s21 ultra has a 1440p screen, can't speak on build quality as mine isn't old enough, the s8 had expandable storage at the cost of 64gb main storage whereas the s21 has up to 256gb on standard and 512 on the ultra version, mst was replaced with nfc, i don't use samsung daily or free so can't comment, the black bar is the same size as the s8 bezel so this doesn't count as it takes the same amount of space
@@i_love_games110 this is about the S21, not the Ultra... and the S21 has worse resolution than the S8. You are also incorrect about NFC as a replacement for MST because MST is a supplementary feature that adds onto NFC... hence why there's many places in which in which a S8 can tap to pay that the S21 cannot.
As for the black bar, the one on the S8 is actually a couple mm smaller than the black bar imposed by any non-supported app displayed on the S21 family, but the bigger point I was making was the impact to symmetry... which is much more drastic on the S21 family compared to the 8 family.
@@ALionlikeMane according to samsung themselves, mst was replaced by nfc, mst was not an addon
im still using s8 now and use it for my hunting vlog
I like both
Man Simple, that S8 is shot! I've never seen screen burn like that yeeowch 🔥 📛 👨🚒
The S8 is still a spectacular phone
get the g cam on the s8...you'll get night shot and better photo's in certain conditions .....s8 isnt good for gaming mainly because of the poor battery life and it tends to heat up a little..... the higher resolution is also unusable along with the always on display on the s8 simply because of the battery ...but it's so flexible that you can rig it to do almost anything in 2021.
Do it with s7 edge
another point you missing, S8 is compatible with Samsung gear VR but S21 arent
The S8 was the last android phone I ever had 🤔 fell down the iPhone rabbit hole after that
Eyyy I like the comparative, but you aren't doing well mate.Give more juice to compare.I get little bit bored to be frankly. And the title looks nice. what happened..
Dear your s8 screen has burned in ... so its not on its full potential to be compared
Make s10 plus video as compared.
I still keep android 8.1 on my S8, just like the old look more.
S8 with hades rom Android 10 is awesome
Is the S10 the best phone in the last 5 years cuz it seems to hold up the best against all others💪
I have the s8 still...just the photos i take with them seems warmer then they should... The s21 looks more cooler...
I don’t like the size of the new phones. Too big to have in the pocket all day at work. I just bought a brand new s8 from Walmart for straight talk. I know it’s out of date, but I love the look and size.
I'm sticking with my S8. I would never upgrade to an S21. No SD card or headphone jack. Every samsung phone after the S10+ sucks. All they're doing is copying apple and taking away all the good features. When my S8 dies (which isn't any time soon) I'm going to switch to a new brand. Samsung is dead to me now.
@Eric D. Evans. No SD card or headphone jack. I wouldn't buy it even if I had the chance to.
I'm converting over from an S8 to an S21. My S8 had 64GB plus a 64GB SD card. The S21 has 128GB. Kind of the same. I bought a dongle to use my wired headphones, about $10. I don't notice that the display is 1080P. What I miss is the notification light. Some people have suggested a work around, but so far, I haven't seen a satisfactory solution. I liked that I could remap the Bixby button below the volume buttons to be the Power button. Otherwise you have to hold the Bixby button AND the volume down button to power off. Samsung should just dump Bixby.
@@ratteber When my S8 dies, wich isn't anytime soon, I'm going to switch to LG. They're not taking away any good features. Samsung sucks now and is just copying apple.
What is "good" to everyone is subjective. Samsung needs to please the majority crowd. Although they got rid of some seemingly important features, the S20 broke previous sales records and so did the S21.
In order to make a phone more powerful with more battery life, they need to make compromises in space.
Also, samsung is giving away galaxy buds pro for free for the first month or so of S21 sales. They also decreased the price $200 cheaper than the S20, giving you enough room spending room to upgrade to higher storage options, as well as buying a charger
@@donniel7758I wouldn't buy galaxy buds pro. Any phone with no SD card or headphone jack count me out.
