Hello. I bought recently a 2nd hand s21 plus . Out of the box, the unit was still android 12 (one ui 4.1.). So, I updated to its latest firmware and security patch, which is android 13 and april patch. I noticed the front camera does't focus even on the 3rd party app like messager and Instagram unless i have to tap to focus the camera. However, when it comes to VC, the video is blurry and also in night mode. Does anyone experience this? Do I have to wait for another update to fix this?

Not fair that i have a slower version or low yield version for something i paid the same amount for like you. So whenever i have the chance to buy a non exynos version, i prob will. The s23 seems amazing but so expensive. And all regions get the snapdragon. Fair deal.
Is it so important ? No, but something i will look after when buying a new phone."
Change your S21+ faulty Exynos for another S21+ Exynos that isn't faulty.
Bad that all regions get Qualcomm.

Low yield means that some chipsets of the same brand (model) can have different qualities, low yield chipsets have lower Quality than the standard chipset with normal yield, this can affect in the performance, heat management and user experience.

I'm a little disappointed. I give this a 5/10. Even though it's supposed to have 5G, I very rarely have it. I always have LTE. Everywhere I go. Everything else is amazing, but the data is just really bad... I sometimes even have no service.

Those scores are more correct, and always should score it, try with Geekbench 6, again, the S21 Qualcomm couldn't manage to beat the S21 Exynos.

Toughts?"
The average scores first in geekbench are outdated, second there's Geekbench 6 now, coming straight to the point is that your scores seems to be lower than average S21+, specially your single core score, it should be arounf 3400/3500 points, not 2813.
But there's a chance that you get a low yield Exynos chipset.

The scores were 10 to 15 procent less then the Qualcomm. (And more after 3th time, my unit was boiling) But mine were above the average s21plus exynos. So def no faulty unit. I am not complaining about my s21plus. I am happy with it. Before this one i had the oneplus 8t (snapdragon) that my son uses now and before i used the s20fe (Snapdragon)(screenissues so changed quick). If we play the same game or open the same app. That older "budget" oneplus opens it Faster. So you can say what you want, there is difference. Not much. But there is. And ok, maybe exynos is better after official support to unlock it. Not a selling point for me because i change every 2 to 3 years. If you are happy with exynos, perfect. I am happy with my unit, unhappy with some choices samsung made. Same price, different versions. Look on YouTube for the videos where they compare the 2. You have to admit not really fair"
Your unit seems not to be ok, Exynos 2100 doesn't suffer of overheating.
