So I have went from mate 10 pro (Huawei) to this phone and my opinion is...
It has better software, screen is more instant better cameras. But what I noticed both have a 4000mAh battery but the Huawei Mate 10 Pro lasted longer in battery life. Battery still is good after it being 2 years old but overall its a good phone for the price. All they need to fix is the Battery

I have one of these as my work phone. I think I concur with the negative opinions of poor battery life. Twice now in a few weeks I started a Skype meeting with > 90% battery charge and it was dead within 90 minutes. I used my personal Samsung A8 to finish the meeting (was actually playing online poker with friends on another device) and battery charge only dropped about 15% in 1.5 hours. I was actually going to replace my A8 with the S21 but after the battery experience I'll look at something else...maybe the S22.

This phone has some uncharacteristic reliability issues for a Samsung.

Question: S21 FE has compatibility with eSIM? Reason of this question is that I have this one since December 2022, and there's no fields of it (I'm using here in Brazil). But making some searches in Google, I found a post from the belgian operator Proximus, that shows not only compatibility but also instructions of how activate it.
S21 FE is or not compatible to eSIM?

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

You should have stayed with your S7.
