Samsung Galaxy S21 5G - user opinions and reviews

I first got the phone in August 2023, and I've been using it since. This was my first flagship, and overall I am quite impressed. To start, the cameras are decent - nothing too bad but not top quality either, but they do the job quite well. The screen, which is amoled, is a great size for me. I have no complaints about the screen. The build is plastic and aluminium with a matte back and smooth sides with really thin power and volume buttons. The build, even though it is plastic, is still good, but the lack of a metal back, which is good for cooling the phone, is noticeable. The chip, which for me was the Snapdragon 888 5G, overheats way too easily. I could be playing a simple game like Geometry Dash for around 15 minutes, when the chip starts to overheat. The battery is also quite dismal as of lately, lasting around 3 or 4 hours at best.

I have using for 2 months now.. What I noticed about the ba3 is, it last very long using wifi for browsing than using mobile data. If you're able to get a mobile hotspot you will enjoy the ba3 to an extent

After using the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G for almost a year as my first flagship phone, I've noticed that my current battery is quickly dying and the battery is getting hot. I've checked the diagnostics of my phone and it reads "Weak" when I check the battery information. I only had this phone for a year, so I don't feel like upgrading to a new phone as long as it works well. Just make sure to take it to a repair shop whenever your S21 battery is having issues.

I had this phone before my S23 Ultra, and the battery was a nightmare. I had the Exynos (EU) version; I would charge it at least twice a day, and it would overheat for no reason.

Terrible phone. The only good thing was the camera. Apart from the green and pink lines, the phone gets warmer when camera app opens. Can't record a video for a longer period because camera app stops due to the heating issue. So disappointed about the money spent on this device. My redmi note 10 pro is still better than this garbage.
