The Galaxy 21 will start at $849 for 256GB, the S21+ will ask $1,049 for 256GB and the S21 Ultra will set you back $1,349 for 512GB,
No phone is worth 1530 Euro in our time.

You get latest features 5 years late on an average. Android is light years ahead of iOS in terms of functionality, customizability, security and ease of use. Android from 5 years back can do things current iPhone can't.
iOS 14 finally got an app drawer and widgets, Lol these are things that existed on Android a decade back.
Plus with every subsequent update, your battery and cpu are deliberately slowed down by Apple (Yes, they are paying fines for this malpractice) whereby one is forced to upgrade after a few years.

Mini is launched this year. It's a niche at 5.4" size. It's in a different category all together.
Let's compare regular models. Why isn't the pro Max which cost 1200 Euros the best selling? The cheapest model (regular ones not the tiny SE & mini) is the best selling.
Similarly, On Android, phones like OnePlus 8/8T,Mi 10T Pro, Galaxy S20 FE are selling a lot more than 1000€ and above phones as they are giving most of the same experience as flagships at lower price.
If Apple launched cheaper 200$ iPhones (regular size) , they'll see most of their sales going to these models. The sales of high end models would drop just like on Android. But they won't do it, since profit and greed outweighs consumers.

The iPhone pro Max version doesn't sell much due to high price.

Hmmm... Where have I heard that before?? Oh yeah back in year 2012.
Looks like someone has woken up from their grave in 2020.
So for a proper telephoto camera you need to spend 1349 euros? No thanks... I can have a 5x optical zoom with a third of that quantity... No sense.
FHD screen and Exynos? who in the right mind would purchase something like this for such a high price? Even Samsung S8 has a WQHD screen. The screen and the SOC are the most important things on a phone.

But given the TDP requirement in a mobile, that resulted in a throttle and as you pointed out, the battery efficiency that took a decent hit. Not to mention too the ISP that was slighty inferior too.

To th... moreHmm basically you have no choice, you will use anything. A user who puts 'user experience' first cannot ever use a Xiomi or other Chinese phones with their horrendous skins. iPhones are in their own league and the only real competitor in terms of software experience can come close is a Pixel or other devices running vanilla android (if optimised well). Samsung's skin was pathetic, it still is. Their gallon of features are trying to compensate for the lack of silky smooth and streamlined user experience one gets from an iPhone or Pixel, only children fall for those.
Good luck.
I've always had Samsung smartphones, my first was the S2 in 2011 at €420 & phones have gone up over €1K in ten years, crazy. I now have the Note 8 but I take many issues with Samsung's current direction. I dont like the newer BT S- pen as it's one more thing to charge, it was fine as it was especially before the pen clicking gimmick which weakens the pen as my original broke. Now they want to scrap the Note series which is a mistake, include S-pen support on the S21 ultra, but you gotta pay up, nowhere to house the s-pen that you need to buy separately, uh seriously? Greed! They removed the headphone jack which is so bad, ya you got BT but that drains battery & you shouldn't need a silly dongle. So you dont get headphones in the box, now they want to remove the charging brick too, to buy on it's own, more Greed & now they also want to get rid of one of the best features that puts it above the iPhone, the micro Sd card slot, trying to FORCE people to buy the most expensive variant just to get decent storage and with all of this the prices they are charging are way too high b/c overall you are getting less and being ripped off. This is pure greed and if so many didn't run out and buy the overpriced latest & greatest and accept this nonsense every year, we wouldn't be in this mess. Also, just a few years ago people complained about camera bumps, the S20 bumps are big and there is hardly anyone calling it out, I should be able to lay my phone down flat without a case as I can now with my note 8 from 2017. This whole thing is insane and enough people need to stand against it, only way these companies will get a clue.
notafanboy, 22 Dec 2020Except the S21 definitely does not check all the boxes. It mite not check all YOUR boxes, but for everyone else it does. Stick to your iPhones pliz. They are not perfect either
well the regular s21 cheaper than the s20.
But the ultra is more expensive than the s20u .

Which is why i still bought the s20fe which i consider a flagship in most ways! I just realized now that Samsung has lost me for their top galaxy S model! Because it's simply NOT WORTH hundreds extra just for a slightly better camera experience and that's about it. Unfortunately that also means that BECAUSE i won't buy the ultra because of price.. i don't also now want to spend £1000 on a S21+ because it's expensive AND not the best model. See the dilemma?!
