I got thid phone but the battery life and the fingerprint reader is horrible. Can somebody suggest an alternative phone which has longer battery life, faster change and a good camera? I'm not a gamer , but want a phone which is survive a day easilly.
Budget : 400-500€
Screen : max 6.5-6.6" (prefer something at 6.2 if possible)
Fingerprint reader is on the side or back , but fit for bigger hands

Great phone. I upgraded from a S9 and wasn't expecting such a big leap in performance, screen and software. Battery is great for me, no overheating and I can't go back to a regular 60hz screen, 120hz is so smooth.

I purchased this phone , but really upaet about the battery: speed is ok, but due use it with loads of apps charge 2x per day.
Can somebody recommend a phone with similar camera but strong battery which can last for a strong 1,5-2 day?

It heats up noticeably fast even under light loads, never mind gaming. Too hot to handle without a case around the phone, don't even wanna know how bad it'll be in the summer months. Really wish I had gone with OnePlus or some other brand instead, currently waiting for my S21 to get back from the warranty service. Hopefully just a bad unit, though considering the reviews probably shouldn't get my hopes up.

I bought the s21 FE 5G Exynos variant on Thursday. I was excited to get this device because of the reviews I saw. Unfortunately, it heats up so much that it got to 45-47°C just browsing through twitter and downloading an update. While charging, I can't even use the phone because of how hot it gets.
I got a replacement unit and still the same, heating up till 45-47°C. I take it back to the store and they are wasting my time giving me back my money which is the whole issue with this stuff tbh.
The Exynos 2100 is poorly optimised. Do not buy this device. I repeat: Do not by this.

This review is misleading. Should be 3/5
I am typing this on a S21
Overheating
Battery is not good
I charged the phone with Oculus charger from that day battery performance is very bad.
If they dont include a charger in the package, software should be ready for it. Money sucking monsters

Unfortunately Samsung disabled eSIM on this phone, so that removes it from consideration for me. Pity. Otherwise seems like a nice phone.

I've had this phone for 6 months or so (Exynos version, I think). I actually really like. And I like it more as time goes on because it's so simple and it "just works". Nothing flashy here.
Great screen, really good battery life (2 days for me), perfect size. So far no scratches or dings (I don't use case).
The in-screen finger print reader is really good -- an ultrasonic fingerprint reader is really worth having. Fast and it just works. Wouldn't go back to anything less.
Camera is probably not as good as a Pixel 6 or latest iPhone. But it's decent enough.
Some of the inbuilt Samsung apps (e.g. Bixby) are a little annoying. I wish you could delete them. But for the most part they are fairly innocuous.

Maybe that's why they removed 45W, because it didn't save much time. But these 50W and 65W really save a lot of time. You could wake up and put your phone to charge, and it will be 100% when you go.

A Glass back barely costs 10$ to manufacture! Its just a method to make more picky customers to take the expensive models ! To be fair it looks good and doesn’t break ! I don’t like glass back phones all My friends are running broken phones. Back glass breaks easier than front glass as most people have a screen protector on! 50w charging isn’t good kills the battery! I was thankful they removed the 45w charging heats the phone but just cuts 5-10min !
