There so many trolls here, saying they will switch to Apple because of 1080p and plastic back.
Do not listen to them, coming from the S10, the S21 may be the best phone i ever had. Plastic is more durable, less finger print loving and this isnt some cheap plastic. Battery is better and the cameras are much better. Also people always forget this phone is much much faster than any other S series phone. And i will take 1080p 120hz anyday over 1440p 60hz. And for a screen of this size, you should be pixel peeping to find the difference from 1440p

For exemple i used 2 phone on the same game with the same cpu , the same gpu , the only difference is that one has 1080p and the other 1440p and in the game the visual quality is a lot bigger than when you use it in menu, the details.
I undersdand that some people prefer 120hz but now you can buy a mid-range phone with OLED FHD+ 120hz , that is display made for mid range devices not for flagship that cost that much.
And if you whant saving battery you don t buy s-series.

Perhaps you use your phone back the front and look at the back when you are talking on the phone. I only look at the face of the phone and could not care less about the back. Who sees it. Durable plastic helps keep the weight down apart from other advantages over glass. But if it suits you better then keep talking into the back of the phone.

For anyone still stuck on the 1080p thing, there are calculators for visual acuity versus resolution out there that are easy to find, eg:
https://toolstud.io/video/screensize.php
With spot 20/20 vision and a 6-7" screen, you have to hold the damned camera up 6-8" up to your face to see the difference.
I'd rather take the power savings and amazing dynamic refresh rate versus something that is practically impossible to ever notice. It's all placebo by looking at the specs unless you have these things glued to your nose all day.

For me it's fine as the frosted glasstic feels good in hands, it's more durable than glass & feels light also you get wireless/reverse wireless charging with it, once you put a case on it there's hardly any difference between glass & plastic.

Why plastic back? Apart from $$$ obviously. I would've picked up this phone but plastic is cheap and nasty for the environment.

I went to buy the A52 but ended up buying the S21 as I was completely blown away by its compact size & beautiful design especially the frame that melts with the camera frame. I still bought it after reading all the negative reviews here but MKBHD review was like a fresh breeze. Got October security patch update while setting it up, after downloading loads of apps it didn't overheat yeah it did got warm but that's the case with every phone. The camera is simply awesome, speakers are loud enough, 128 GB is enough for me as I'm not a gamer just want all the social apps. For me I'm happy with my decision by the way I've the exyons version. It's always a personal preference & liking, have a fantastic day guys 😊

Have a Samsung S9 . have to say its been a beast of a phone. 3 years old, still going strong, however, iphone Mini 13 has really got my attention. Like others, I'm getting tired of phones always going bigger. After several reviews, seems to me I may be making a switch when the time comes. I have looked at the new Samsung flip phone, and at first I was interested, but believe I'll stay with the bar-form factor. Mini 13 just seems to have a lot of features that, simply put, just stack up in the right places

Year by year there software also going down and having interface like iphone. Like a cartoon .
Now why would I buy samsung. I will buy iphone.
Iphone 1080 display is far better than samsung 1080p.
Iphone look very premium in hand . Samsung using polly carbonet ( plastic back) .
Samsung copy similar design like iphone. Then why would I buy samsung now. I will go for iphone.
I think samsung will shutdown down in few years like Nokia, blackberry .
Every year Samsung sale will go down. Next year samsung sale will go downer more then this year.
Samsung TV also have lots of screen blackout problems.
2025 Samsung will shutdown.
Let's move to iphone.

K10, 30 Sep 2021My new Samsung 21+ ultra is a step back from the previous Samsung I had. NOT IMPRESSED AT ALLS21 Plus or S21 Ultra ? S21 plus is a big downgrade compare to S20 Plus. S21 Ultra is a beast all the way.

I don t think people who are on android will choose ios because ios is way to complicated to operate in , it is a lot harder compare to android .
IOS is more stable , android is more easy
