Ths Iphone is waterproof unless you try it. Then it's water resistent but not covered by submerging.

For Apple IP68 is not the same as waterproof.. Look it up.

Dex is great, but still not perfect!

I've had over 10 glass phones since 2010 and none of them broke despite falling multiple times. But regardless of what material the back on your phone is made of, it can be titanium, it's irrelevant as the screen will always be glass that can get shattered. Glass is better than plastic in every single way besides durability, but even if the back shatters, it only costs $10 to replace so i'd rather do that than have a plastic back
Also the screen on the s21 isn't "marvelous". It's a plain 1080p display that you can find on a mid ranger like the A52 which costs twice as less

John , 24 Oct 2021I agree, but for the most part, I personally think your sister's iphone 13 pro max looks ... more" iphone 13 pro max looks better than on the s21, "

Why would You compare those 2? The Iphone cost 2 to 3 times the S21

I paid 400Euro for my 256Gb S21. For that price it's the best available phone.
IP68 Water proof (Which the iphone is not)
It's got a fantastic plastic cover rather than the stupid idea of covering the backside of a phone with glass???? Why would anybody come up with such a stupid idea a still have a job? "We make the phones as fragile as possible. That will probably keep the punters happy"
It has a marvellous screen with variable refresh rate.
It has Dex allowing unit to work as a desktop. And it works.
If you need a 3.5mm output, buy a 2 Euro USB-C to minijack. The rest of the world is quite happy with S21 providing APT-X, AAC and LDAC while waiting for Bluetooth 5.2 and LC3/LE audio.
It's got the perfect size rather then the tables sized ultra phones dominating the scene.

The pro list keeps on for ever. The con list is very short.

I need to find out whether the iphone13 is compatible with my Samsung watch. If it is then I may very well give iphones a try otherwise I am tied to Samsung (not really such a bad thing). My s10 is great and I would wait for the s22.

Slow motion 1080 and 960 fps need to be improved.
It needs to upgrade 4k 120 fps also
Samsung is the flagship phone but some problems here.
we hope that the next S22 series including this features.

A shame. Never forget that Sam mock Apple for what they are doing. Now Sam is trying to follow Apple's trend, i wouldn't be surprised if s22 will be squared like edges lmao. But they have good cameras though. Atleast... 🤭

Sam, 02 Nov 2021For a moment i thought u were talking about iphones lolYou mean the brand that Sammy tried to make fun of but still shamelessly copied like a middle school student during a test? I always find it funny when Android fanboys try to insult Apple while they don't realize that every Android brand is now trying to become like Apple by copying everything they do. Of course, Apple will always get hated, but when Android does it, then everyone loves it. Always the same story...
