This is probably another stunt by Samsung to make the s22 lineup look even better. They did the same thing with the regular note 20. It was only made to make the note 20 ultra look even better (which it was).
Not everyone has 1200+ to buy a phone. Samsung makes phones for every budget in mind. Also the ultra I have seen had more issues than the normal note 20 Note 20 ultra issues I have seen The refresh rate stuck at 60 The battery draining fast (my note 20 gets almost 2 days) Not connecting Bluetooth
Definitely a solid budget flagship phone but I'm not sure it needs to exist. At the price it's going for you could get a pixel 6 which is just better being the flagship Google phone. And if you want a Samsung I'm not sure this is any better than a Note 20 that has a built in s-pen and would possibly be around the same price new now since it came out fall of 2020 like 16 months ago. Those two phones make this phone redundant imo.
@@pcihector I think that's only a samsung feature but to be honest samsung dex is kind of a gimmick. I was excited for it but I forgot all about it. Not because I don't have use for it but because it needs to be compatible with any device your using so it's not that great. Most things you would want to use it for nowadays can do it with out dex anyways, apps like Microsoft office already come with features that allow you to carry your work flow over to other devices. I was so upset when dex didn't work with my TV, you got to make sure your other devices are compatible before even considering it.
How is the Note 20 better in any way, except the S-pen that most people probably won't even use? It has a smaller battery, 60 Hz, and will only get 1 more Android update, while the S21 FE will get 4 more!
@Carl Gunderson it's not that bad tho. Samsung mostly will make it less powerful to counter that heating and longevity problem just like the S20 FE's SD865. But I do agree that it's kinda late to release the FE now that the S22 series is releasing next month. Typing on my S20 FE 5G btw and it's pretty good. S21 FE should be good but not that appealing because there are better options at this price range
If you already have a recent S galaxy device. This is probably not for you. But if you are looking for an upgrade this is honestly a decent option. If you don't want to drop big dollars on the latest flagship, this is probably going to offer you the closest experience with a bit of savings. And yeah, the standart s21 is probably a bit better, but its 1 year old at this point. Batteries degrade, even if the phone stays off on the box. Id rather have the fresher variant.
Barring the wireless charging, I'd rather get the a52s. Half the price, IP67, 120hz OLED display, headphone jack, stereo speakers and expandable storage. It also comes in 8/256 GB configuration and has a 64 mpx main camera. And most importantly (for me), it comes in true black color.
I have the A52s 5G and I decided to upgrade to the S21 FE, bc I want the better screen and also bc the S52 lags a little bit and the fingerprint sensor is sloooow
I just ordered a few days ago and it should arrive Wed (3 more days.) Thanks for the "demo" ahead of time. I am still using S7 Edge so I'm so overdue for a new phone. 😊

The normal s21 looks more stylish and prettier then the s21 FE, but thats my opinion. It's not that big of a deal, because most people got a case for their phones 😂 but yeah u can see they changed the design ...
If the battery life was better than the S21 it would've been a better option but it has the same battery rating as the standard S21 according to GSM arena.
what pissed me off is that the ultra is only available in 2 colour in my country, need to wait 6 weeks plus to get the other sick colour and can only be purchase via website
Samsung keeps dropping features from their Galaxy S phones. For example, moving from the Galaxy S6 Active to S7 Active, they dropped the IR port. Moving from S10 to S20, they drop the headphone jack and the heart rate/oxygen sensor. Now they're dropping the SD Card slot moving to the S21...
Is the RAM LPDDR4X or LPDDR5? Also would you say it's an upgrade over the older Samsung S20 (non FE) 5G Exynoss model or should I just stick with my S20?
What phone makes better images, this Samsung galaxy s21 fe or the Google pixel 7a? Or is there an other phone in the midrange price with a better camera?

A fan edition without a SD card slot it's not a fan edition. This is one of the important feature for fans.
Well 128gb/256gb is perfectly fine for most people
No, its not. SD cards are slow, tend to fail and tbh, 256GB is plenty for 95% of users.
