This is an important comparison, and the differences for some may not be enough to upgrade or consider one phone over the other, but I am curious to see what you all think about this phone.

Correct, the S21fe is made of aluminum, it is very easy to identify it, all phones with metal frames must have plastic divisions for the antennas.

I have 23, its my first new phone in over 5 or 6 years. I drove an iphone 6s+ for that time.. I think I like big old android s23 fe. About your video its good but think you and all content makers should flip phones over in your hand more to show the front more.

Currently using s23 fe I love it been using for a little over 2 months now.. easy switch from my old phone s21+ that the speakers went out on had it paid off didn't want to trade it in and get locked in another contract went to metro got the s23 fe and I can honestly say I like it

Let me make this quick If you have less money, your hand is fire-proof, or you love to bring charger/powerbank anywhere, then S21 FE suits you Otherwise, S23 FE is pretty good deal apart from the bezels design 👍

@statue4569 for your info I have the galaxy s23 ultra so be careful before your judging the reason why I'd say s23 fe is terrible value cause you could get the s23+ for around the same price used in mint condition you have the one plus 11 nothing phone 2 just cause you have it and others disagree doesn't mean others are broke stop pretending like the s23 fU is the most premium most expensive in the market enjoy your galaxy a54s

Hey thanks for the video and I totally agree with your final thoughts . I would encourage anyone to physical see the S23 fe before buying because it is ugly with those bezels and looks quite dated and it's chucking and it's heavy . After I went to bestbuy and checked it out I bought a used mint condition s21 Fe for $225 . I guess if you can get the s23 fe free on a carrier deal then it might be a good deal but even then I wouldn't .

@bkd2117 2 ай бұрын

Guess everyone is different cause I think the s21 fe is ugly. S23 fe looks way more premium to me. I think the s20 fe looked way better too! Yeah it's got some bigger bezels but once you start using it those bezels become an afterthought. The s23 fe in everyday use performs just as good as my s22 ultra did.

I have S21 FE (Snapdragon) with 8/256 gb memory. I had high expectations but the only downside is the camera both selfie and rear cams. Pictures are hit and miss, tbh. If the s23 FE pics are saturated then so as the S21 FE. Very disappointing because it's not only the color green that is saturated (in a bad way, I mean too much) but also color red, pink/fuschia pink, orange. My brother has S23 and yes pics are also saturated but not as bad as S21 FE. Bought it last year for USD 364 so I think it's still a good deal. Great feature is the display, videos are bright and vibrant. Battery is better also compared to my previous Samsung which only has 2,300 mAh. The plastic back cover is subjective, yes it does not break but it is slippery and may look cheap.

Also can't forget the years of support you're getting with the s23 fe. Only get the older phone if all you care about is saving money.

heat factor, if you are going for the s21fe, standby for occasional heating issues. otherwise its the perfect size for anyones hand. also its light. samsung has lost their marbles on s23 form factor, absolute rubbish, damn thing heavier than s21+. not to mention the bezels. if they narrowed the bezels could have been lighter and smaller as good as s23+. But I guess they figured it out, nobody would buy the s23+ or s24+ then. absolute @sses samsung, thats how they play with the market. Ultimately they would want you to end up with the + versions where the money is. If only huawei were still in the market without the ban.
