Anonymous, 11 Feb 2023Is this phone still a good buy now, what do you think??Don't buy one bro. You can go for the pixel 7 or the galaxy s21FE snapdragon version.
I have S21 since August 2022 and I can notice battery degradation already.
The phone is Korean version and I've got numbers of problems.
On Samsung comunity I didn't find answer to any of them and I highly regret buying this piece of rubbish.
Just got OneUI 5.1 update in Switzerland
Is this phone still a good buy now, what do you think??

It had the same Exynos 2100 chipset international version. The gaming is quite smooth like pubg high graphics games ,. The camera I amazing, it also had smooth battery life , , One ui 5 is most refined os .
If you are tinkering with the idea of getting this phone, Don't! Get the S21 FE instead which is basically the same phone, 2mm bigger in size, but many of the issues this phone has has been addressed and remedied on the (FE) Fixed Edition, including the substandard battery life, and yes the SD 888 is the better handset..
The snapdragon version is better for many reasons. it delivers much better CPU and gaming performance and battery life, a higher GPU frequency (by 11%) a higher antutu benchmark score (by 8%), and developers usually optimize games for Snapdragon processors more often than for Exynos
CHISHTI, 30 Jan 2023Which version is better? Exynos or Snapdragon? On dxomark you can also see that snapdragon version has higher (117) score than (111) and the battery is definitely better.I use the exynos version right now and I didn't have any issue so far. Everything works great. But snapdragon 888 is overall a better chip than exynos 2100. On the other hand not much a difference on daily usage. Samsung's still promised 5 years of update and 4 years of version update. So it's still a good buy on 2023
Which version is better? Exynos or Snapdragon?

You should have stayed with your S7.

I find it hard to believe that we still have two more OS update coming to this phone. Considering what Smasung had done with the S22, I rather get a used S21 instead. After all, it still got a bigger battery than the S21.

You know why? We have bezeles body. Lowest screen to body ratio. You don't understand but try to compare every aspect
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.
