I got the S21 because I had an S7 for 5 years and loved it to death. Big mistake. The S21 is a downgrade in every regard but processing power and camera. No headphone jack, no pulse/ox, no SD card reader, no FM tuner, lower pixel density, a more locked-down bootloader (no rooting), and notably shoddy construction. Blow gently into the SIM tray's hole and the (plastic!) back bows out. A survivable phone for sure, but lacks everything that made the Galaxy lineup good.

I have sent a Samsung galaxy s21 in white for £280 and it is in excellent condition and once I trade my Huawei in it will be £180 do you think it is worth it.

Scandidave, 26 Dec 2022Rubbish nothing wrong with the S21People are spoiled to the core :P
One UI 5 now available for international versions, am frm the Caribbean
Doesn’t feel very premium is all, and bit to long in body
Has anyone noticed that the screen gets burn ins way too easy and quickly? At least mine does. In 9 months since I've owned it, I have had the display changed twice because of burn in. I've had other devices with OLEDs and haven't had this problem this early in the life of the device. Usually it happens around the second/third year. What could be the reason - some component problem, bad screen quality or just bad luck?
January update is available in Switzerland
Gtpharouq..., 19 Dec 2022Good gaming phone I had one and the moment it got hot, it started to stutter and drop fps. Average of 45 fps on apex mobile (lowest graphics)
Overall I do really enjoy this phone. I would consider myself an average - heavy user.

This phone literally only has the battery life as a issue , everything else from the camera to gaming is perfect 👌🏽

Gtpharouq..., 19 Dec 2022Good gaming phone Definitely, just that the battery runs out too quickly
this phone (Samsung S21 5G) is a piece of crap in my opinion and experience. the phone finger print option doesn't work and when I created a password to lock and unlock the phone, it accepted the password but didn't register it in its memory which caused my phone to lock completely and had it wiped and reset to factory default. I lost everything. It's set by design, but this design is poorly executed and has flaws. Samsung needs to hire smart engineers and developpers.
Anonymous, 30 Nov 2022Still worth it. Still toptier performance and camerasYou'll get top tier performance and cameras, but you'll have to trade the battery endurance for them. Is quite disappointing, in S21/S21+ and S22/S22+. I hope Samsung will fix the battery performance in the S23 lineup
