If you wanna buy a compact phone with great specs at a lower price then this is the perfect phone for you. I'm using the exynos version of the S21 and it has been a wonderful experience so far and it'll go till Android 15 which is the best part!! Instead of buying the overpriced mid range phone buy the older flaship and be happy.

I'm wondering how much this is here in the Philippines. I can't see the prices anymore on the samsung website.

I really like this phone especially its compact size and light weight, which fits perfectly in hands and pockets. Another thing is the flat screen so easy to find tempered glass compared to curved screens. I'm using it for quite some time now and it really has been a pleasure using it.

Samsung should give a refund for that, because the phone phone was working excellent before the update.

Since last update in February I have loads of problems on my S21 (Exynos, Korean version):
‐ Loosing reception very often
- Notifications for Viber, Whatsap, SMS and email stopped working
- can't connect phone with PC anymore, can't do backup and then hard reset as I have plenty of important data, pics, videos in the phone.
I am waiting for March update hoping problems will be solved.
If not I have to scrap this piece of rubbish as it became useless after update.
To buy another Samsung product?
Only in bad dream. I highly regret this purchase, and in the future I will avoid Samsung at all.
From Samsung I currently have two TVs, fridge freezer, dishwasher, tablet, few phones, two watches and probably some more highly paid items.
Samsung support is rubbish.

Kanata, 01 Mar 2023I have one of these as my work phone. I think I concur with the negative opinions of poor bat... moreS22's battery is smaller in capacity and it lasts shorter then S21, so keep that in mind. You can check the these phones endurance ratings for yourself on this site. Just find a phone you're interested and press "compare" to compare it with another device.
Endurance rating for S22 is 85h, for S21 is 93h, for S23 is 101h and Zenfone 9 is at 108h.
If you want a "compact" phone, S23 and Asus Zenfone 9 are the best on the Android market right now and they both have a great battery life.
S21 and S22 are okay if you're not a power user and use your phone ocassionally. It's not meant for too much of daily browsing TikTok's, Instagram, shooting pics, watching Youtube, listening to Spotify, other socials or playing high demanding games. It can do everything but not for a long time. So they are perfectly fine if you're not a phone junky used to check your phone every 2 minutes or so.
Cheers!
