The camera has like 95% the same exact picture as the s21 ultra, which makes it amazing 👏

@neiliewheeliebin 3 года назад

Its low light performance isn't as good thats the only real difference i've noticed switching between the two, it's still really good quality particularly macro shots impressed me

@pixels_per_inch 3 года назад

Not at all, the ultrawide is similar but the main camera isn't as good (when you use the 108MP mode on the Ultra) , telephoto is terrible (because it's not optical zoom) and so on.

@neiliewheeliebin 3 года назад

@@pixels_per_inch 108mp mode is pretty gimmicky it doesn't let enough light in to be of any decent quality plus photo size ends up around 30mb each

@@neiliewheeliebin In daylight, it looks noticeably more detailed, I'd say about the quality of a 24 MP standard bayer sensor. At night, that's when pixel binning comes into play, it looks almost as good as a 12MP standard bayer sensor on the S21 and S21+

That flickering is caused by the refresh rate difference between your camera and the phone screen. It doesn't show that it's a low quality display, if the refresh rate is higher on S21, then it won't have that flicker obviously.

"BOo hoo, only 4000mAh battery" that's what everybody says. What is "only" about it!? :D OP7T has 3800mAh and 7+ hours screen-on-time, standby seems fucking limitless. Samsung can't reach 5 and just absolutely buttfucks the battery on standby. In conclusion, it's not the battery size that matters, it's how it's optimized :D

@TalynStormcrow 3 года назад

I can't really see how coming from an s10+ I would really want to upgrade to any new Samsung. I'm very into image editing and the decline in screen resolution is disappointing to me. A lot of people might claim they can't tell but I always can.

@bigpp7716 3 года назад

I can tell, but IMO, 1080p 120hz > 1440p 60hz. Plus, even if 1440p was an option, I’ll probably turn it down to 1080p cause it’s no where near as eye catching as it is on like a monitor and I value battery life and performance a bit more than pure resolution.

@blasien1 3 года назад

I like mine, satisfied but not excited. I traded in a beautiful pearlescent S10E for the S21. I gave up a headphone jack, SD slot, and the nicest design/build of any phone I've ever had. I gained a marginally better camera, better screen? (maybe, the S10E screen was already great), a more convenient fingerprint sensor, and software updates extending out longer. I still hate the UI skin and all the Samsung crap lurking in the background (and occasionally interfering with operation), but that's a wash between the two Samsung phones. With the deals and discounts it was a sensible upgrade, but a little bittersweet.

@erichanson7518 3 года назад

I did the same and also have mixed feelings about the upgrade. S21 camera is better than s10e and i am seeing imoroved battery life. As for the samsung stuff running in the background, use adb to disable. Huge difference.

I switched from iPhone and got an s21 and I have nothing but good things to say about it. The display in particular is perhaps the best part about the phone. Another thing I like about it versus other android phones and this may annoy some people but that it's a very consistent phone. Versus some others I've tried like Motorola or LG there's no oddities to the software everything works consistently and it works well.
