As Ranjit mentioned the biggest competition of S21 FE is its own S20FE with 13k less. With this price gap it makes complete sense to buy cheaper S20 FE.
@Ranjit, the best thing about your videos is that it feels like someone is actually speaking about the products from the consumers point of view and not just as a paid youtuber to promote any shitty product. I really like and appreciate your honesty and openness in reviewing and guiding us to choose the correct product. Great video as usual.
Ex2100 has improved over the period of time with software updates and one ui interations. I am using S21 ultra as my primary device with 1 Sim of airtel, battery life usually hovers from 5.5 hrs to 6 hrs of SOT with 1 full day (24 hrs) usage. Now with one ui 4.0 I am limiting the charge to 85 percent and that is my SOT. Usually I charge it when battery reaches 25 to 30 percent. That's a decent battery backup in my opinion for flagship processor. When I go for family outing, phone gets charged to 100 percent with 5 to 6 hrs of GPS and maps and it lives till end of the day. So I can confirm that ex2100 is much better than 990 in terms of battery life atleast amd even the heating problem is not there as well.
Ofcourse it is better but again Snapdragon is much better... (Sd 888 and 8 gen1 excluded) 888 had heating issues but it got controlled by adding cooling chambers
@@Devil-ig7kl of course, I agree. SD had been better in GPU performance hands down. Hope Exynos catches up with their upcoming AMD's RDNA2 based architecture for better GPU execution.
@@typhoon_8086 I don't play in mobile. It's mostly used for Outlook, slack, webex, zoom and OTT platforms. So I really don't care about gaming performance. For me battery back up, minimum to no crashes of app, and a good camera suffice. Which ex990 lacked in terms of battery back up even having 4500Mh brick. That got resolved in ex2100. Bcoz of my job which involves travel and always stay connected, battery backup is most important part along with social posting of company pics. So I guess people like me will definitely get satisfied.
I have been watching Ranjith since 2013 , and one thing never changed, he never got satisfied with the low light performance of front camera of any of the device since then ..
Upgraded from OnePlus 6t to s21 fe, pretty happy with the purchase! Battery life could have been better, but other basics are just done right! Awesome screen, ip68 rating, stereo speakers, weight management is great, in-hand feel is awesome (6.4 screen size is a sweet spot), gorilla glass victus, Android 12 out of the box, clean UI, wireless charging, 5G ready, awesome camera and great processor (no heating issue on daily usage and light gaming (bgmi)) Accessories you can invest in: 25W samsung charger ( it includes wire as well): Rs 1999 c-type to 3.5mm samsung connector (oneplus one doesn't work😂) : Rs 699 Spigen screen guard (pack of 2) : Rs 1099 Samsung silicon cover(comes in same colors as that of phone) : Rs 1599
Even i want to switch from oneplus 7t...i want to know how do you rate battery backup for a full day work an how come oneplus 3.5 mm to c- type convertor didnt worked with samsung?
@@vardhanpravin1989 it gives me around 4.5 hrs of SOT, kind of struggles to go through a full day or you can say it barely goes through a full day! When you connect audio devices via the oneplus ctype to 3.5mm connector to the s21fe , it says device not supported, my samsung connector arrived today and everything works now. 7t is a pretty good phone, i guess you should wait for S22, my 6t was now struggling for day to day operations, I was waiting for a good phone since last 6 months.
Samsung's 3 year software update and 4 years of security update definitely makes it a compelling buy.. Hope their updates aren't like the ones from brands like OnePlus and Realme that throttles performance and introduces new bugs.
In the android world samsung software support is excellent. I have 2019 s10 plus exynos. The battery life from 4.5 hrs to 6hrs improved. From android 9 to android 12 battery life improved. Also my exynos 9820 does not overheat like it used to while doing normal tasks. I think they played around with frequency a bit with patches. And now it is running on android 12. Like wow 😙 never thought samsung would become the best in terms of software support. Overall satisfied 😌
well i have a s10 ,almost 3 yrs now all updates have worked well even the last android 12 update is good some minor bugs(samsung will surely fix it), samsung has done quite well in software department and battery has degraded a bit quite normal for a 3 yrs old phone

Many youtubers says that sd888 and 2100 are performing equally. But personally I have felt that SD is much better. I have S21 base and Tab s7 with SD865. Tab UI feels much more fluent and hiccups free. My S21 with exynos 2100 sometimes feels laggy doing some heavy tasks. Even camera app is slow AF. Even my friends S20FE with SD865 feels much smoother all over than my S21.
@@Harshit-ox7ky around 17hrs - 18hrs with normal usage like phone calls, mails and whatsapp. I don't play games. But battery life improved little bit after A12 update.
Exactly. The biggest competition is Samsung's own S20FE. At 37k, that's truly Amazing purchase. N it has the best snapdragon processor currently available, that's 865. Snapdragon 888 has too many issues n is very unstable. So anyone who doesn't care about Android 15 support, should go for S20FE. 👍👍
@Joy i got the s20 fe for a family member so now I can add some context, there IS a 4G with the SD chip, most of the 4G variants in circulation atm on amazon have SD even if youre in europe or india where usually samsung rips you off with an exynos chip..m
This is a good phone if it comes with Snapdragon 800 series. I guess s20FE was launched in India last yr with Exonys n later mid yr Samsung switched to SD. Marketing skill huh... I feel s20FG is good buy coz of processor & it got S/w update for 3 yrs too..
out of those 3 updates on s20 fe, it has already given 2 so only 1 left, and this exynos is better than sd888 (as speed is almost same but sd888 is having heating issues)
Glad to see a rare review talking about the latest and strongest Corning Gorilla Glass Victus in S21FE. Talking about battery, a close look at Ranjit's review shows just 2% drop over 16 minutes of use, including about 20+ times unlocks, which I feel is a decent drop. I hope Ranjit's hand didn't feel the heat that users are now talking about!
@@tejasparakh7 I don't know man, samsung works better in the long term I think, they can hold on to that 6 hours SOT even after 4 years like my 4½ years old J8 whose battery never got degraded and still gives me about 6-7 SOT, a year ago my friend bought his iPhone 13 pro which gave him about 10-11 hrs of SOT but after a year it degraded to 6-5 hrs but Samsung mobiles' SOT remains constant for years so it's actually a W for samsung. I'm using my s21 fe with 120hz refresh rate enabled all the time and still gives me 5-6 hrs of SOT(85 percent to 20 percent battery) but the result is same as my old budget J8 that's why I'm a bit disappointed but if it can sustain that SOT for another 3 years it'd make me happy. Btw hope android 13 and one ui 5 can improve battery performance.
I got my s20 fe 5g for 34k during sale...and after watching the video i don't think s21 fe 5g makes any sense at 15 - 20k rupees more because s20 fe 5g is a pretty decent mobile.

I brought this last week and would say I am happy and satisfied with the performance of the phone. I don't feel any difference if I am using SD or Exynos. It does day to day tasks without any issues.

@@prashant2840 yes bro you are truly 100% correct. i totally agree with you. Samsung is fooling coustomers by giving exynos chips in India and not even single youtubers talk about that because they are being paid by Samsung even geekyranjit is one of them

With previous tests, even the Exynos has done excellently in smooth+extreme (which is the preferred settings), giving a constant FPS, . .

@@Isaac-gh5ku I personally won't trade the S21FE for any of the S22 variants atleast not to the Snapdragon Ones.

I am not a gamer and given the S22 lineup is gonna get the same no of updates as this s21fe, what's the point.

@@jaganjoseph386 which is a good point if we consider charging speed. But the battery health is something which needs to be taken into account.

But my s7 edge which is the 1st Samsung Flagship i got didn't get any of these battery issues. Do I miss the faster charging of OnePlus? YES! But anyway with 25w charger the phone gets to roughly 50% in about 30mins. So I don't complain. And my 5T went out of commission like the FP didn't work, some of the native apps (Messaging, Gallery, etc) randomly stopped working and in playstore it said "THIS APP IS NOT SUPPORTED FOR THIS DEVICE" which is crazy.
Why don't you make video on Samsung S21 FE 2023 snapdragon 888 edition which is selling on Flipkart BBD sale Most of the people still confused about buying it😮
I bought the Samsung M51 in 2020 October . . the display stopped working in Nov 2021 (1 month after the end of warranty period). A new display costs ~8k and comes with just 90 days warranty. Their mid range phones are really not worth it. They charge a premium for the brand name and but they are definitely cutting corners in quality
This year Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is also made by Samsung on it's architecture so it has throttling issues and overheating too so either you get Exynos or snapdragon both are not a good deal. Snapdragon 870 was a really good processor compared to 888 and even 8 gen 1 in terms of throttling and overheating

@@sachetanjoshi349 I'm facing battery drain at low percentage. It goes 5% to 0% in 5 minutes. Battery is the only thing on S20FE 5G that I am not fully satisfied with
I love how frank this man is about the battery life. Doesn't give excuses like yeah it's a flagship so you have to make compromises and stuff like that. Straight up spits the fact that mid range phones are much efficient and will give 2 day battery.
S21fe is great.. Using it for past 3 months. Got it for 32k. Apart from battery life everything is amazing. As I can manage battery life it has been an amazing device for me. I use it to play heavy gaming and videography and photography. 4 years of os update and 5 years of security update is amazing..Samsung has improved the ui exponentially after December security patch.
The gorilla glass victus is the best on this devices my phone has fell twice while riding motorcycle still no crack or dents, phone is running absolutely fine . I was shocked to find the phone running and is perfect shape even after falling twice from running bike
Sir, I personally feel it would be nice to put the review segment by segment like in your moto edge 20, it gives a lot more clarity.Great review nonetheless😁
With respect to pricing, ya not sure what Samsung thinks... 1 day it sells for 55k the next day it shows 50k with coupon... S20 fe 5g also still fluctuates a lot in terms of pricing 2 days back it was listed for 50k and today when I saw it was priced 39k with the same seller.... Irritating
@@irfanm5892 Okay. But in India, price went to 33 to 35K for sale. And now it's 39K. I feel the pricing needs to be steady & universally same or at least very close. Else it just doesn't seem fair. God knows how they take these kinds of decisions.
Watching this video from the OG S20 FE 5G 🔥 bought in the Great Indian sale for a good deal and after his review 🔥🔥😎 truly the best in the segment knocking of the bragging 9 series smartphones 😂

Great review as always, but one small request sir, if you put time stamp for every review part like screen, bettery, processor and all it will be easier to follow for someone who only wants to know about specifics...
I have been using S21 FE for the last 2 weeks and I feel that samsung has improved One UI a lot. One UI has smooth and fast animations, no bugs as compared to Oxygen OS 12 (which is an abomination created by Oneplus and Oppo no doubt). There are minor stutters in the UI but that's okay if compared to the messy Oxygen OS 12. Also, the processor is doing a great job from handling day to day tasks without any issue. Yeah, one thing that concerns me is the plastic back. I also have a OnePlus 9R which has the glass back and it feels a lot more premium than plastic back. But that's okay if samsung is using plastic back because it actually helped to reduce the phone weight and also the device does not heat (excluding heavy gaming). The weight of samsung is much lighter than my OnePlus 9R and I am able to use the device longer. Battery backup is good but not awesome and also samsung could have gone for at least 60 watts charger instead of 25 watts. It takes 1 hour and 30 minutes to charge S21 FE while on the other hand the OnePlus 9R gets charged quickly in less than 30 minutes.
Thanks for the comment .. I am planing to buy S21 FE soon..I went to the mall and hold it with my hand, I was really shock..Even if with plastic back the phone is too solid that's not at all cheap. I think I won't be wrong buying this 🙂
Very valid point regarding price fluctuations,, People who bought @ 55k is not fair to them,,Also slow charging compared to OnePlus is also big disadvantage,,not giving charger in the box is just looting customer at this price point
Being a S21 user would never ever suggest this phone to anyone. it heats up to 50 degrees when I use android auto for listening to downloaded music. It auto switches off while connected to car. Battery drains really fast when you are not in a good network coverage area
S20 fe is a great device. My OnePlus is doing good otherwise I would have gone for it. Will use this device for another 1-2yrs having this fear of missing out a gem of a smartphone.
I am glad people are appreciating SAMSUNG and MOTO now. We have good options from 10k to 1lac. Apple is the OG but in android SAMSUNG and MOTO has quality. Don't go behind specs guys. ONEPLUS is fooling people ... no other country cares for that brand besides us Indians. Choose wisely.
I was also worried about the Exynos 2100 Heating issue, Performance Drop, etc but after watching some comparisons of S21FE 5G's Exynos 2100 Version 2 with SD 888/SD 870 So SD888 was a lot heating but no performance drop but Exynos 2100 V2 doesn't heated a lot and performance was decently enough for a Casual gamer and a Normal person ❤️🥰😍 The trust on Samsung returned from S21FE launch
Everyone praised S20 FE 4G with Exynos and no reviewer told us about heating and battery issues. I purchased it and had to sell it for half of its price in just 2 months...it's always better to wait for sometime untill real issues comes out and not rely on TH-cam reviews...
Was waiting for Ranjit's full review of S21 Fe 5g, at the end the only thing I can make out of it is NO REGRETS... as i have been using the S20FE 5G almost for 6 months and the phone never disappoints me, and seeing the review only slight changes happened which to be honest is not that much of an BIG CHANGE.

Other than the camera, One UI is cleaner than Oxygen OS which is using Color OS under the hood anyway, so S21 FE Wins by default. Only reason you'd want the OnePlus is for the In Box Charger and Alert Slider

I have 2019 s10 plus exynos. The battery life from 4.5 hrs to 6hrs improved. From android 9 to android 12 battery life improved. Also my exynos 9820 does not overheat like it used to while doing normal tasks. I think they played around with frequency a bit with patches.
And now it is running on android 12. Like wow 😙 never thought samsung would become the best in terms of software support.
Overall satisfied 😌

Many youtubers says that sd888 and 2100 are performing equally. But personally I have felt that SD is much better. I have S21 base and Tab s7 with SD865. Tab UI feels much more fluent and hiccups free. My S21 with exynos 2100 sometimes feels laggy doing some heavy tasks. Even camera app is slow AF. Even my friends S20FE with SD865 feels much smoother all over than my S21.
hey buddy how's the battery life on s21?
865 is good. 888 and 8gen one are not so good. Because they are manufactured by samsung.
@@Harshit-ox7ky around 17hrs - 18hrs with normal usage like phone calls, mails and whatsapp. I don't play games. But battery life improved little bit after A12 update.

The only reason is thermals on sd888 is really not good.
Its the other way around my frnd
Exactly. The biggest competition is Samsung's own S20FE. At 37k, that's truly Amazing purchase. N it has the best snapdragon processor currently available, that's 865. Snapdragon 888 has too many issues n is very unstable. So anyone who doesn't care about Android 15 support, should go for S20FE. 👍👍

@@tejasparakh7 I don't know man, samsung works better in the long term I think, they can hold on to that 6 hours SOT even after 4 years like my 4½ years old J8 whose battery never got degraded and still gives me about 6-7 SOT, a year ago my friend bought his iPhone 13 pro which gave him about 10-11 hrs of SOT but after a year it degraded to 6-5 hrs but Samsung mobiles' SOT remains constant for years so it's actually a W for samsung.
I'm using my s21 fe with 120hz refresh rate enabled all the time and still gives me 5-6 hrs of SOT(85 percent to 20 percent battery) but the result is same as my old budget J8 that's why I'm a bit disappointed but if it can sustain that SOT for another 3 years it'd make me happy.

But my s7 edge which is the 1st Samsung Flagship i got didn't get any of these battery issues.
Do I miss the faster charging of OnePlus? YES! But anyway with 25w charger the phone gets to roughly 50% in about 30mins. So I don't complain.
And my 5T went out of commission like the FP didn't work, some of the native apps (Messaging, Gallery, etc) randomly stopped working and in playstore it said "THIS APP IS NOT SUPPORTED FOR THIS DEVICE" which is crazy.

Why don't you make video on Samsung S21 FE 2023 snapdragon 888 edition which is selling on Flipkart BBD sale
Most of the people still confused about buying it😮
Got it at 32 k 256gb one and 888 version.. what a deal
Is it genuine
I bought the Samsung M51 in 2020 October . . the display stopped working in Nov 2021 (1 month after the end of warranty period). A new display costs ~8k and comes with just 90 days warranty. Their mid range phones are really not worth it. They charge a premium for the brand name and but they are definitely cutting corners in quality
This year Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is also made by Samsung on it's architecture so it has throttling issues and overheating too so either you get Exynos or snapdragon both are not a good deal. Snapdragon 870 was a really good processor compared to 888 and even 8 gen 1 in terms of throttling and overheating
True .. very true

If they start giving good *processors* then only I will buy their next flagship (S22 ultra) 🏳... else, I will STOP buying *Samsung* and I'm sad about that 😭 and now when I hear that *8Gen1* 's architecture is done by Samsung.. I am dying thinking about it
Also ( at the same time my cousin bought *Oneplus 8Pro* ) when I bought s20+ and that is a beast ( it doesn't lag at all while playing codm.. it doesn't heat up.. it has way better battery backup )

Great review as always, but one small request sir, if you put time stamp for every review part like screen, bettery, processor and all it will be easier to follow for someone who only wants to know about specifics...
What practical difference is there between s21 Fe and s20 Fe 5g other than an another year of Android update and no charger in the box
please avoid swiping the screen back and forth. It’s irritating to watch
I have been using S21 FE for the last 2 weeks and I feel that samsung has improved One UI a lot. One UI has smooth and fast animations, no bugs as compared to Oxygen OS 12 (which is an abomination created by Oneplus and Oppo no doubt). There are minor stutters in the UI but that's okay if compared to the messy Oxygen OS 12. Also, the processor is doing a great job from handling day to day tasks without any issue. Yeah, one thing that concerns me is the plastic back. I also have a OnePlus 9R which has the glass back and it feels a lot more premium than plastic back. But that's okay if samsung is using plastic back because it actually helped to reduce the phone weight and also the device does not heat (excluding heavy gaming). The weight of samsung is much lighter than my OnePlus 9R and I am able to use the device longer. Battery backup is good but not awesome and also samsung could have gone for at least 60 watts charger instead of 25 watts. It takes 1 hour and 30 minutes to charge S21 FE while on the other hand the OnePlus 9R gets charged quickly in less than 30 minutes.
Thanks for the comment .. I am planing to buy S21 FE soon..I went to the mall and hold it with my hand, I was really shock..Even if with plastic back the phone is too solid that's not at all cheap. I think I won't be wrong buying this 🙂

It’s a shame that the S20FE doesn’t even have basic sensors like proximity sensor. Reminds me of 2014 galaxy core costing 10k 🤦🏻♂️
Being a S21 user would never ever suggest this phone to anyone. it heats up to 50 degrees when I use android auto for listening to downloaded music. It auto switches off while connected to car. Battery drains really fast when you are not in a good network coverage area
S20 fe is a great device. My OnePlus is doing good otherwise I would have gone for it. Will use this device for another 1-2yrs having this fear of missing out a gem of a smartphone.
I am glad people are appreciating SAMSUNG and MOTO now. We have good options from 10k to 1lac. Apple is the OG but in android SAMSUNG and MOTO has quality. Don't go behind specs guys. ONEPLUS is fooling people ... no other country cares for that brand besides us Indians. Choose wisely.

Was waiting for Ranjit's full review of S21 Fe 5g, at the end the only thing I can make out of it is NO REGRETS... as i have been using the S20FE 5G almost for 6 months and the phone never disappoints me, and seeing the review only slight changes happened which to be honest is not that much of an BIG CHANGE.

My only nit-picking with this device is that if I spend around 50k, why should I get a plastic backed handset.. Rather I hope Samsung use Gorilla glass 5 in both front and back if it decides to bring something like S22 FE in near future
Nice to know Ranjit tunes into PR Sundar as well :D
@GeekyRanjit is one of the first tech youtubers in India and still my fav. I watch his videos even though I'm not planning to buy any phone right now
S20 FE already got two major android upgrade .. android 13 will be last android version upgarde . So it is not a wise decision to buy S20 fe now if you have plans to use it for long terms .
Android 14..s20fe 5g launched with android 11 in Asia.
@@sathyaki but I think it will follow the global update policy ( since this is a global version , so Samsung may not be interested for region specific update)
The best and mist honest reviewer in India!
Android 12 and it is handy not bigger and camera. But if you wait till BBD, it would be sold around 40k
BBD is 8-9 months ahead..
Thanks sir on point i bought s21 fe 5g for my dad his last phone was oneplus 5 whose display wrecked
S21 fe has heating issue. Don't ever go for it. You will definitely regret buying this.
What heating issue, you game on s21fe??
@@crashook2144 no gaming at all. Using multiple apps together. I visited service centre twice (two different centres) they said the phone will heat. I asked but this much? They said it could heat even more than this to be honest. Samsung is paying every youtuber to make this phone the most hyped one though the phone is very average with only good camera. Nothing else. I am using this device more than 6months.
Geeky ranjeet,s PROS N CONS
this is the only video which is enough to decide to go for which device
Hey Ranjit, is this phone still a good buy at 30k in May 2023? What else could be a better option with a plus minus 7-8k?
My heart wanted this Samsung den my mind overtook for Mi 11T pro. And i dont regret 😃
@Omar AlOmary yes bro it heats if too much gaming done. But Managable. If you are a hardcore gamer go for rog phone asus
When will the Motorola G71 full review air? Waiting for the full review to purchase the phone.
Me too....
Out now
u talking about price fluctuation. i bought samsung watch 4 at 22k thinking at it's price now decrease so i can buy it but within 20 days during sale it's price drop to 9k. and every time i see my watch my heart feel like broken. this is very serious issue. it's good as well as bad depends upon when u buy at what price 😭
Last week the price came to 45k with 5k hdfc offer & I missed it 😢

Most honest Tech reviewers ever. Unlike mostly others, who seems to be indulged in paid promotion or having personal conflict with products.
Awesome review. Can you please do a review on Moto G71? It'll be nice if you can do a review on this mid-range phone as well.
I've been following u like 8 or 9 years ur online presence has decreased gradually but now ur back on track with vlog channel also.🔥👍
We have officially entered a time where 8 Gigs of Ram are "just"
Ranjit, completely agree with your point regarding pricing. I am not upgrading my S series phone to s20 or s21 due to fluctuations in pricing everyday.
bahut heat hota hai mai bahut pareshan ho gaya hun...in every time.. charging time jyada heat hota hai.. aur charging bhi stop ho jata hai
mai bahut pareshan ho gaya hun
Mai lene ka soch rha hu bhai..please tell me lena chahiye ya nhi?
Mat lo....3 hours ka sot milta hai mere use case mein....mobile data mein subah se shaam Tak bhi nhi chalta ye phone. Aur bohot heat hota hai normal task mein bhi. Aur idle drain bhi bohot hai ....whole night mein 12-15 percent drain hota hai.....
Wese I bought moto edge 40 and it's SOT is around 6.30 hrs as well as get full charge only in 40min.
So somehow it's manageable.
@@ImSRJYmoto edge 40 is a really nice device....just camera is not as good as s21 FE but edge 40 charges crazy fast with 68watt charger.
@@GadgetFreek yeah Im happy with my decision of opting edge 40 as it's getting improved with the time and hoping for it's camera to be improved too.
Except for the above avg camera, I would say everything is up to the mark.
You're real and unbiased youtuber!. Keep up the good work 👍.
Hi @Geekyranjit Sir! Can you suggest which phone should I purchase between S21FE 5G and S20 FE 5g during this festive sale? Some users are reporting poor battery back up and heating issues in S21Fe 5g.
S21fe
Not worth s20 fe cos u get 1 more update up to Android 13 only.GO FOR S21 FE.
lol do you really expect Samsung to give a case 😂
All they can give is their overpriced s**tty Exynos chips 😑
I own a s20fe5g, that phone also had so many price fluctuations. Its really annoying but iam happy with the phone.
