Galaxy S21 in 2023 - Is it worth it? 

More importantly, can I afford it?

I use European (with Exynos) version since almost 2 years, and this is a great phone. Good screen, good performance, good signal, battery is fine for me, cameras also do a decent job. Maybe if you play games the picture of the device would be different ( then battery life and overheating are crucial aspects ), but for daily tasks like browsing net, youtube, e mail, mobile banking etc., this phone is fantastic. And still has software updates ahead of it ( security updates til about January 2026), so yes, a reasonable choice. Actually the phone performs so well, i know my next phone will be Galaxy S, but maybe S26 or S 27, I am using this one at least till end of software support.

I bought this thing used in may 2022. It's still a great phone, pretty fast, cameras are great. Only thing that I'm not too happy with is the battery but it's not an issue because I can charge it anywhere. Only sucks when I'm traveling or something 😂

For a refurb which is worth it, it is only 200-250 bucks.

It's still a good phone and not expensive.

On the official samsung website it’s around 350ish $

I'm still having this phone and it's doing well and I really like it. I'll be getting S24 when it's here 👍.

This video is the first time I've ever heard Xiaomi pronounced "Shy-oh-me" 😭

I’ll buy this cos I’m broke and upgrade to s23 next year.

I like s21 more then the current ones i miss that 20/9 aspect ratio then after the s21 series they went with that ugly iPhone 19/5.6 ratio and whats worse people equal bezels yet xiaomi 13 did it with the 20/9 aspect ratio

Watching on my S21 Ultra I love this phone absolutely worth it in 2023.

I got this phone for £200 Cant complain

Yes wifi 6 and 120hz 1440 panel are definityl worth it. Wifi 6 is nutty fast even with weak sig als

Still supported? Update and patch?

Hy i am a person who use his phone a lot in game and social media and i want to know if the s21 will be better for me than the s22 with the exynos version

The first year I got S21+ it was acing it with all aspects. Battery, camera, smoothness and so on. However, as soon as an update installed around in March 2023, the phone started to "seem" bad in processing speed, battery and specially camera. I am a regular user of basic browsing and youtube and music. No games, I tweaked all background apps to stop functioning. Battery: As soon as i take it out of the plug, 5% of batter is gone within less than 10 minutes even if not being used. Camera: Camera recording became very sluggish and blurry, the 30x zoom used to capture the moon with details on surfuce, however that is not the case as the moon now becoming blurry and out of focus. Processing: If I play music on car bluetooth, and lock the devie it will lag for 5 seconds and the song will be stuttering. if i navigate apps while music is on (Anghami, samsung music, back ground youtube) then all sounds are stuttering. It is a shame that samsung is having such targeted & planned downgrade of performace. PS: I dont download ay weird apps, as I said I am a basic phone user (Email, camera, music, notes, youtube). Not even clicking unknown clicks types of user.

S21 or s23 fe?

what about pixel 7

Is it going to be an upgrade from my s20+?

I had the Exynos version for 2 years. The exynos was snappy enough for me, I had absolutely no complaints about the processing power, but for some reason the phone run really, really hot and the signal was quite often poor. The upper left corner of the phone got so hot that I was worried the phone would soon break down or/and cause me burns.

8 h of sot. That is bullshit. I have a S21 and I get 3 hours. Why do you misinform?

What about heating issues?

Defo would wonna do a calab 😂🤣 when you become the next generation of tech youtuber 🎉

What racing game is that?

Racing game??

can I ask for something that I can use when I study, I don't even have anything for study that I just borrowed from my mom from the Philippines

Meanwhile mine s21 lagy as hellllll! Idk but my suggest is don't buy a refurbish samsung phone you will regret. Even for 300 bucks it's not worth it

Good job stealing content from other creators. And btw, u don't even have the s21, just an iphone X with the broken screen
