I'll update my S9 once Samsung reinstates Samsung Health with all the sensors on the new phones. I think to many those features are worth a lot more than a minor camera upgrade.

Schreitze, 04 Feb 2022I see. Did you already updated with one ui 4? How is the phone performing? Thanks for answe... moreI just checked and it shows my S21 is on the 4.0 One UI. In my daily use I have not really noticed any difference since my update to Android 12. And I guess that was when it updated to the 4.0 version of the One UI?

How is the phone performing?
Thanks for answering. I can't ask anybody from my community as they only buy phones here from Vivo, Oppo and Realme. Samsung flagship are way expensive here.

Like all my previous Galaxy S phones, My S21 is on 24/7/365. And the only time it gets rebooted is from the monthly software update.

I heard both the S21+ and S21 Ultra is affected by it. Any info about this matter?

Sam799, 28 Jan 2022Hi!! How much SOT do you get on your S21? I'm facing some battery issues on mine, any tips?1. Disable apps you don't use or Uninstall them
2. Limit your background apps from standard to 4 or no apps running in the background (you have to enable developer setting to do this)
3. Turn on battery saving if you haven't
4. Turn off location, you don't use them unless you're using the map
5. Enable "suspend execution for cached apps" in developer setting the downside for this one is that the app performance will decrease
6. Put unused app to deep sleep in your device care or you can restrict apps activity in developer setting
7. Turn on data saver in your connection setting
8. Lower your screen brightness to low, or dim
9. Limit your screen time to 1 min or less
10. Use wifi calling instead, cellular connection tend to use more power when your signal is low

I would never want to use it. After using the S21 with a 120Hz variable refresh rate, I could never go back to a 60hz refresh rate. The difference was huge. And this is from a person that plays never games on a cell phone.
The last time I played a game on a cell phone was back in 2017. When I had an S8.

Anonymous, 30 Jan 2022Did they also notice the 120Hz, better cameras, better battery and better performance for the ... moreYes. The lower resolution of the S21 was the only negative for me. Coming from an S10. All the benefits of the S21 over the S10 easily trumped the lower screen resolution for me.
I'm still curious how the S22 will be. As long as I can get an S22 for $300 or less out of pocket, after my S21 trade in, I will most likely get one.
Since I always want to get the fastest SoC available. And it sounds like the new SoC in the S22 will be a nice improvement over the S21. The faster a cell phone is the better, for me.

SweeetY, 29 Jan 2022I've had S10, S20 and S21...the S phones are getting worse each year and more expensive..... moreThe S21 actually dropped in price from the S20. Plus they gave $150 to $200 more in trade in values.
I got $550 trade in for my two year old S10, toward a launch S21. So my 256GB S21 only cost me $300 out of pocket.
