Try Surfshark: Surfshark.deals/thao Code ‘THAO’ for 83% off & 3 months FREE! FE stands for fan edition, but let's be real, the Galaxy S21 FE is essentially a ‘lite’ version of last year's Galaxy S21. They feature the exact same processor and so for the most part this is a very similar experience, but there’s definitely some cost cutting going on. Should you consider this phone or is your money better spent on its bigger competitor: the Google Pixel 6? Let’s talk about my experience with the Galaxy S21 FE.

S21 FE is my first Samsung phone and I'm pretty satisfied. Got a $100 best buy gift card for the promo. I like the plastic back and doesn't find it slippery as some other cheaper phon%es. Coming from a OnePlus phone, I love the camera way better. Pixel 6 not having a face unlock and I just wanted the lavender color

@87ssstans 2 года назад

Love the review Thao! Completely agree, have to wait for a sale before getting this phone! If they give you a discount plus a trading in value, that's one heck of a deal!

@matthewsjardine 2 года назад

I personally chose to go with the Galaxy S21 over the S21 FE earlier this month. The Galaxy S21 FE is a great phone, however, in some regions (like South Africa), you can only find the 6GB of RAM version. You end up giving up just a little too much for my taste. Fortunately, the Galaxy S21 has seen price cuts and is being bundled with other Samsung gear to sweeten the offer. I managed to get the Galaxy Watch 4 alongside my Galaxy S21 for a really good deal. This made my decision essentially a no brainer.

@alecaboss1073 2 года назад

I got s21 fe + galaxy buds 2 deal for 75% of current s21 price, and thats 8g ram. So I guess its different for every counry, I would prefer FE without even it going cheaper tho.

I usually skip the sponsorship ads during videos but this was really unique where you tested out the audio quality of the phone while explaining the sponsor. I like what you did there and now I know a bit more about surfshark haha. P.s love the videos and your review of the S21 vs S20 FE sold me on getting the S20 FE. Perfect phone for me and when the time is right, ill be looking forward to watching your next review of future phones :D

I have the Galaxy S20 FE in red 5g it came with a fast 25 watts charger when I got it a year ago I love it in the red colour I got it, & the cameras are really good for a midrange smartphone & the Qualcomm snapdragon 865 with 8gb ram makes the phone a strong performer and at the time I only paid £599 on a sale deal, is got 128gb memory with an sd card slot for expanding the memory. Now Samsung has taking the fast charger away & the advantage of having expandable memory & the new S21 fe is more expensive, so I will be keeping my S20 fe for me is no point to upgrade pay more money & get less features, anyway thanks for your great video cheers & peace ✌️

@Nc-tubee 2 года назад

my S21 FE 5G (Exynos) seems to have a refresh rate bug. There are times when the refresh rate will drop way below 60Hz, causing huge lag and stutters in the animation across the entire UI. Usually, I have to restart the phone for it to be smooth again. However, after some time, the refresh rate will plummet again. I honestly do not know if this is software or hardware related. The phone is updated to the latest version and it also occurs even if all recent apps are cleared. Im not alone🙄🙄

@BrianHillegass 2 года назад

@returnofmerenguespersempre6664 2 года назад

Ok just a second here. Im currently sitting on a samsung galaxy s10 and thinking about upgrading, 21 FE came to my mind as well as s22. Still havent decided yet. The reason I bought the s10 over other phones is for its crisp high def screen, its resolution is 1440 x 3040 pixels. Looking over at gsmarena, both 21FE AND s22 have 1080 x 2400 pixels res and 25% less ppi density. Why are screens (arguably) worse on newer models? Whats going on? However price of 21FE has dropped to 533 USD where I live. Is it worth it for that kind of money or is it better to hold on few more months?

I'm really torn on this. The extra years of OS upgrades (compared to the S21/+/Ultra) is important to me. However, the poor image stabilization of the front camera and higher price than the Pixel 6 is a big negative. I need to replace my Note9 (not because it does not work, but because it has been abandoned by Samsung). At $499, I would buy the S21FE and not look back. I hope the S22 release will drive down the price of the S21FE to where it should be. Thanks for the helpful video, Thao.

I needed to buy a new phone without a trade in and this phone was $100 off on Amazon. I am really liking the phone alot. The battery is great and I made it a bit better by turning off the 120 hz. I noticed some jitter with the 120 hz and turning it off was fine. It's not a feature I need anyway. I really didn't want a pixel (sorry, it's a cult) and I didn't want to spend more for a s21 classic or s22. I also prefer the look and I do it without a case. Just a screen protector.
