I have exynos variant of this and using close to 200 apps on this currently and still it runs pretty smoothly. Can easily rock this for another 2 years.

According to GSMArena telephoto lens has only 1.1x optical zoom and combined with a crop it produces 3x hybrid zoom. I think that's why it's 64MP

4:55 to set up the power sharing just go to settings and search "wireless power sharing" or enable it from the control panel, it usually is off by default or may not be even listed, just add it with the edit icon.

8:27 no wrong yes if you just look at the 12mp and the 64mp pic not a difference only in color maybe but when you start zooming in you can easly 100% see way clearer. if you don't you need different glasses

You are really good at this. Thank you.

I just bought a S21 Fe last week for $200 it's the Snapdragon 888 variant. It was worth it since it look brandnew, no scratches or any dents.

If u want to reverse wireless charge an iPhone you place it exactly where the wirless charging coal is you might want to change the orientation on iPhone when cameras get in the way of it aligning to the wirless charging coal.

Go to settings and battery then navigate wireless power sharing then click on, you have to on it anytime you want to use Thats how to use the reverse wireless charging

This video was very helpful but i was just wandering is the exynos version as powerful as the snapdragon one ?

how much you can get this now used phone ofcourse and compared to s21 fe 5g?

the only struggle that im experiencing on this phone is the gta definition from netflix lagging as heck on those games especialy in vice city and san andreas didnt tried the gta 3

64MP 3x zoom camera has a significant advantage- you can digitally zoom further without losing quality. It is pretty obvious, so don't know why you said high MPX camera is there for "no reason".

Flagships from the s10 era onwards still work very well performance wise. It just depends on how the battery performs/whether that has degraded. Agreed about the plastic backs vs glass though considering 95% of us put phones in a case glass backs seem fairly pointless but does sadly allow manufacturers to add another 10% to the price for using "premium" materials.

Thank you so much ❤

6:44 what settings did you use? and did you clean the glass''lens'' or you fingers near the cam bc it looks foggy

love your content, as a kenyan on a budget which would you advice i get. this or iphone 11?

I just grabbed a S21 + for my Mom for Mothers day. I got it from Swappa for $200! It was an upgrade from her Galaxy S8+ and she really likes it!

Thanks, Ive just got a good used s21+ after a short time with a cheap china phone, its nice to be back with a Samsung

Is the battery size not so small, about 3200mph, cant last for a dat

Honestly before even watching the video with answer, when sooo many people are still using and bragging on the s21 FE and how outstanding that one is still going for everyone these days, it's just an easy automatic Yes, the even better true galaxy s21 is bound to be even more worth it. I have an s23 fe and it's been the best phone I've ever had hands down, even though the last phone I had (galaxy a52s) was a snapdragon, now I see what most people are saying the last year about new Exynos especially since the s24... it's real, real simple, Exynos went from bad/mid to straight up amazing just as well as Snapdragon for the most to all part. Of course, the newest gen of snapdragon has risen way above though forsure and that's the best you can get today still, but new 2023/2024 Exynos is outstanding more than enough. I guess some people arguing against it so hard are just stuck in the past not giving it a chance.

Is the haptic feedback better than the S9 plus?

Still have the exynos variant. Runs super smooth. Have it since release. For the reverse wireless charging you just have to enable it in settings in your charging options. For the zoom camera its a digital zoom so the 64mp camera image is cropped in. Its not a optical zoom. Samsung did this so that you can take 8k videos and still have a 12 mp primary camera. 8 k vids a filmed from the 64 mp camera. Otherwise very good video. I hopefully will use my s21 till end of software support in early 2026

The emphasis on "shatter resistance" is ridiculous IMO. Gorilla Glass Victus that picks up scratches, plastic backs, that will get shredded without a case. But hey, it's not going to shatter. We already had shatterproof phones 10 years ago when they made them out of aluminum.

Guys get the s22 I got an s21 a few months ago and now I see some s22 prices even lower than the price I paid for my s21

Dex, just get a USB hub. I have one that that was power in, HDMI out, some USB 2s. I already had a USB 2 ethernet dongle. Get yourself a Logitek K400+. Plug the eternet dongle into the hub. Your phone is now wired to the internet, you have HDMI out and you can use a Keyboard with a track pad. At the same time, you can charge your phone.

Great analisis, continue with the good work. 🤝🏻

nafdedeliver po sila?

Came here cause i ordered a pre-loved s21 5G yesterday

Is a small device and the 1080p is good. The reason why they downgraded is the 200$ price reduction I miss the big mp count on the tele. It enabeled bigger zoom distances but at least the sensor on my s23 is better(tho i feel like the tele camera should be an utility camera and you don't rly need to get the best resuilts. You just need a sharp image). I think the zoom is a necesity and every phone(i'd rather get a midranger with a normal camera and a zoom than one with a normal camera,uw,depth,machro and useless shit they put to have more cameras but no. At least with samsung,no tele on a new phone under 700$(the fe series :() Also i like that is plastic. Another measure to make the 200$ reduction possible but the math ppastic feels great and the durability gains are incredible. I used to go no case with my a52s. Dropped it from 2nd floor,no problem,it feelt good in the hands and my only complain was the plastic frame that cracked around 1 year later after i dropped it again but the screen was fine(than water got into it trough the crack and i had to switch to my s23 which i'm scared to drop bc of the back glass) my point: we need more metal frame and plastic back phones(i hated the a54 for making the back glass but keeping the rails plastic)

thank you for this video.. as someone who is thinking to buy the S24.. it seems like my S21 is still pretty upt o date in 2024.

Being a Nigerian, that plastic back is just perfect for me! Only have to worry about screen protection😂

It's really good over there in the US but here in the EU it's trash this phone because Exynos. Less powerful, overheating issues, battery issues, and so on. Samsung being Samsung calling two different devices with different processors the same. So yeah shame to them.

Hi guys..any help? My s21 ultra is still showing android verison is up to date on "android 12". Please, how can i update manually on pc? I've tried and failed, it feels so out dated, its so frustrating! Its a 512gb/16gb am not thinking of changing yet, i just wanna update the software gosh!🙏🏿 Thanks!

Nice!!

The Samsung Galaxy S21 will also get updated to Android 15, so it's still a phone worth buying in 2024.

I'm still using a S9. So yes the s21 is still good 💯💯

Can it shoot 60fps video from ultrawide camera ?

“Hammer it down with a hammer it’s not going to break”. Biggest cap of all time

Just got upgraded my S21 to S23 Ultra,. I couldn't wait for S24 Ultra cause the screen is broken and I'm in need of new phone lol

I recently acquired a Samsung Galaxy S23 FE at a very reasonable price from my carrier. However, I am not entirely satisfied with the bezels on this device. I have received an offer to trade my S23 FE for a mint condition Samsung Galaxy S21. I am considering this offer and would appreciate your advice on whether it would be a worthwhile exchange.

I like this phone still have it but don't like the narrow build

Samsung s21 series has overheating problem. I have one

A very good phone I love mine it gets warm sometimes other than that is a perfect device so you were saying that not all Androids survive this long That's sad because I don't really want to go back to no iPhone ever

Leaving the iPhone 11 back to an Android. Need help to decide on S21 5g or S21 Fe 5g

Great !!!!!

4:10 Samsung Dax ❤

Btw the snapdragon 888 is not used in mid range phones, only high end phones have this chip

I bought a S21 over a year ago. For $200, its a huge deal. I do wish I got an S22 instead because its only $50 more.

I honestly want this phone, but in my country its just the shitty exynos variant, where its prone to overheating and throttling also the battery life is affected too.

What about the updates? Has anyone received 6.1 update with AI features?

Helpful

I am using Galaxy S21 5G Snapdragon variant 😁

Should I get a new one for 365$ or used for 300$? Edit: both are sd888

4:55 you need to have a device that has wireless charging ofc. 2nd is when you do it for a phone the best is to place it like a + and no - so the cameras aren't in the way. ofc you need to press the button in the menu it doesn't matter if you do it before or after puttng the device you wanna charge on the phone

Siento que le pones más empeño a tus videos en inglés que los de español jajaj de todas maneras muy buen video

Bugs and hiccups apear after a while of using an android phone yea.. but a low/mid range phone only. High end android phones can be used for 7-9 years easily bro.. istg i have a galaxy note 3 from 2013 and it still works so well

No its close to not getting updates anymore and its not bootloader unlockable

People absolutely obsess too much on the plastic back. I prefer it because it’s more durable. And folks also care way too much about cameras. As long as they work well I don’t care about specs and making the experience all about cameras. The obvious value here is the flagship experience for much less. Everything else is white noise lol 😂

my s21 just got green line this year 😂

What if phone becames bit laggy is there solution? 😢

In my oponion ye

iphone alternative is the iphone 12 not the 13

1:52 the pwm flickering of the s 24 is just painful. S21 looks more eye and brain-friendly

Bros says s21 in 2024 me happy with s10+ pubg

This phone has aged amazingly for me, aside from the battery life. It wasn't good when it was brand new and it's awful now.

Bro has like 17349 youtube channels spanish and english omg

Atleast in Asia this phone is trash in terms of performance due to the abomination exynos 2100 which sucks in comparison to Sd888. I considered buying this phone for casual gaming and day to day task but it turns out there are better alternatives.

CR7 hell yea

Him: “……pummel it down with a hammer, it is not going to break” 1:31 Me: Hand me that hammer, let me test that with your s21 ultra.

the backcover is plastic?

Using my s21 5g to watch this Snapdragon 888 phantom grey

its better than iphone 11?

the back of the 21 is not plastic. its glass I've cracked it twice and you can tell its glass

Same script as s20 video, damn bro

Please could you Gimme one phone pls am using my mom's phone
