So your Samsung S22 or S21 FE easily lasts 1.5 days with the following settings: 1 . Improved performance (you don't notice a difference, the battery thanks you and the phone heats up less) 2. Disable RAM Plus (important, according to the forums is a main culprit in the increased battery consumption) 3. Switching from the Samsung keyboard to the preinstalled Microsoft Swift keyboard (the causes the enormous consumption according to forums Most important change) 5. Disable 5G if you don't have a 5G cell phone contract 3. Disable Blutooth, location and NFC if you don't need it 4. Add little-used apps to the list of apps in sleep mode or deep sleep mode 5. Disable automatic WLAN and Bluetooth search 6. Delete all unnecessary apps 7. Turn off the Always On Display completely. (makes a lot of difference) 8. Revoke permissions for apps to access location or send messages. Generally reject many declarations of consent regarding determining location or sending messages.
@@andreoski3 Turn it off, you only need this if you want to play heavy graphic games, not for daily usage. I dont See any difference so i turned it off
@@SahajOp Since my settings are in German, I don't know the exact name. You can find the setting under Advanced Battery Settings. there you have 2 points at the top. Adaptive battery (turned on) and improved performance (turn this off)
Mine has 8GB ram and 256GB storage .also it has the exynos processor , great phone but the battery does drain pretty fast. Still loving this great device.
Productive review, appreciate it , I may get this phone , but still doubtful , it would've been beneficial if you included A54 and A73 in a comparison to S21 FE .
@@anna.tnguyen I have s21 fe which is way way better than the a54 , cuz a54 has weak processor and ufs 2.1 which is not expected at that price point but some famous utubers are praising the a54 which is so so bad , they should not have done that for sponsorships
I find I have to turn off the 120 refresh rate in order to have a better overall experience, battery drains too fast with that option enabled, you'll literally get double the battery life with normal 60 hertz
From my point of view, switching off the 120hz display is too big a cut. The smooth 120hz experience on the great Samsung amloed screen is exactly the selling point for many. I can easily get 2 days of battery life without disabling anything crucial. Bugs are mainly responsible for the high battery consumption of the s21 and s22 series. Samsung has now officially blamed the Samsung keyboard. It is best to switch to the pre-installed Microsoft Swift keyboard.
Bought the exynos version for about 34k rupees which is about 410$......been using it for about a month and for this price range it's worth it. Yeah the battery drains quite fast ....I get a average screen on time about 6-7 hrs a day...also the phone slightly warms during intense gaming, apart from this I had great experience using my s21 fe.
that is a really similar experience my bf had with his S21 FE as well! For it's price, you can't really complain too much, you get a good overall experience with it
@Kibutsuji Muzan I've never faced any heating issues. There's no significant difference between 60 and 120hz. I switched to 60 recently and didn't even notice it because the phone is quite snappy.
Such an honest review.👍 I am facing issues with the battery too and lets just hope that I get used to it. As you said, other than the battery, its decent for it's price.👍
I regreted buying the S21 FE. The battery drained very quickly, which is a major flaw for me since i use my phone daily 8+ hrs if i dont feel like playing on my pc, and even worse, i was in croatia on a boat trip for about 10 hrs, i had to charge the S21 FE multiple times during that. I was constantly on youtube. While my friend's S20 Ultra 5G did not need to charge and he was using it constantly and when we returned, it had 6% left. So i ended up switching back to my S20 Ultra 5G too and i sold my S21 FE. It was a nice experience, but it could be better.
Can u please try making a video on Samsung dex feature on ur S21 FE 😁 like on pc, laptop or smart monitor if possible..Btw really loved ur videos 👍✨️. Love from India 🇮🇳✨️
Ouuu I think i could make it into a YT shorts! I’ll just have to wait for a day my bf is free to borrow his phone hehe! And thank you!!! I appreciate the love 🚀
Been using S21 FE exynos for 10mos now and I noticed to increase battery life and prevent heating, turning off the location and going to 60hz refresh rate keeps it cool. Even if i game or take videos, it won't heat up
I have the s20 FE and this will probably be my last Samsung due to the SD card slot. I do like the speakers they have Dolby Atmos surround sound, I'm not sure about the 21FE, I think you have to change it in the settings same with the front camera you have to change the settings to make the photos look more vibrant
That's a fair point! I remember the SD card slot was such a great feature I wished apple had, so it's unfortunate to hear that they took it away. Thank you for the tips on the speakers and camera though!
I ordered it on yesterday. Will the snapdragon variant for around $300 like new. Has an upgrade from the s20 fe. Ive had the 20 fe for a few years now. Which its been a good phone. But i just wanted upgrade at a affordable price. Just use the 20 fe has a mini tablet. Yea i think the s21 fe is worth in 2023 now. Since the price has lowered on it
Bought the Snapdragon 888 version in January 2023 for about $500.00 and it's been a great experience. I upgraded from a Samsung A70 and this is my first Samsung flagship phons.
Hi, this is my first time on your channel. Your video was great although I have one minor flaw- the talking was a bit fast. Everything is understandable but the fast speaking, small pauses tire me a bit
I have a S21 FE. It runs for 24 hours continuously, and with the Always On Display on all the time. Just change the refresh rate at 60 hz all the time, and that's all. Try it.
I get 5 hours of sot on my snapdragon s21 fe, that's unacceptable for a 4500mah battery and samsung has had more than enough time since launch to address this with software fixes.
Is it still worth it to buy tho bc i do plan wanna buy this phone as well after i've seen there's few bugs on iPhone so im gonna postpone 1st. What you reckon? 😩🤔😅
I do think it's still worth buying!! Especially if you can get a deal. My bf has no big issues with his phone and enjoys it a lot. Best of luck with your choice!
I dont really care about the gaming part because i dont really play games on my s21 fe i only play games on my ps4 i just use the s21 fe for whatsapp, insta etc and camera and music thats about it and calling.
Would could they fix battery software..?..from a S10e I’m happy doesn’t seem big heavy. I’m sure If standby mode was fixed would help . Send them feedback as shame we can’t get 2 more hours
The FE models are downgraded version of flagships, so don't have too high expectations. It's pretty obvious when you open them (I'm a technician). Honestly my old S10 (8/128GB) is almost as good as the S21FE. That's why when it was time to upgrade, I picked the S21 Ultra instead of the S21 or S21+. That being said I'd rather buy a FE than a midrange phone.
Wait actually? S10 is comparable to s21 fe? Even with the chipsets, software, and displays? Is the s21 fe even that good then or would you still say it's worth it
@@alanpearson5447 I switched to a s21 FE from a galaxy note 10 plus, which for a time was one of the ultimate best flagship phones. I love my s21 FE, the refresh rate is very noticeable and the size and weight of the phone is perfect. The screen is huge despite how small the phone feels in your hand. I'm in the US so mine has the snapdragon, which I imagine makes it a lot better. I stream videos on my phone all day at work and it has 30-40 percent battery left at the end of the work day. I would highly recommend the s21 FE if you want the flagship phone feel for less than half the price.
I will never buy another Samsung phone I been wanting a year and a half for the to fix the issue with 5 g they blame it on the carrier the carrier is blaming it on Samsung you would think they would fix this issue by now but I am being told it's on every Samsung device that it's out there
Did you really just say that with a "Google phone they're hit or miss because the cameras AREN'T always top notch"?! You've CLEARLY never used a Pixel phone. Cameras are only the best in the game and have been so consistently.
@@anna.tnguyen I wanna to buy it within this week 🤩. Then I search the RU-vid and search day in the life .. . And just saw your honest review.. This is really helpful 🥰. But, can you please make a Vs video between Galaxy S22 and S21 Fe . ? Please 🥺
I regret buying this phone as Battery drain very fast. I need to charge 2 times weekdays, 3 times on weekends. My usage is casual only. No gaming no content creation.😏
hello there. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.❤ Could somebody explain to me what a snapdragon in relation to this phone is? There was another option like this that I can't recall. I'd highly appreciate it if someone would tell me this since I've considered to buy this phone.
It's not lightweight as it is close to 180g. Because of the slippery boxy sides it much less comfortable then other phones. Olive color got boring very quick and the camera is nothing to write home about. Battery is on the level of a three year old Relme 6, I have it in saving mode all the time. Last Samsung I bought
@@anna.tnguyen anyways good review.. no complications keep it simple..🙂 finally dediced to take galaxy s23. (also, please let me know if you have any reviews or suggestions regarding s23)👍
@@anna.tnguyen anyways my bad luck i g if you can means can u do a video of pixel phones cons like pixel devices dont have app lock features not even face lock too !!
