An excellent smartphone no one needs
The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE should have arrived in the fall of 2021, but was delayed. Therefore, you should wait yet some more time before buying it - at a reduced price.- Really nice screen with 120 Hz refresh rate. The Snapdragon 888 provides excellent performance, and the 4500 mAh battery is an upgrade from the original Galaxy S21 model.
- At the time of writing, the price is too high for last year's technology. And by and large, the camera is even the same as in the Galaxy S20 FE from 2020!

The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is the most affordable phone in the S21 series - its specs and features have been streamlined to keep the cost down. While it may not be as good value as we'd have hoped for it's still a very capable piece of kit with a decent camera, powerful processing and a long-lasting...- 6.4-inch FHD+ 120Hz display, Premium chipset and specs, Decent camera system
- No charger in the box, Slow charging, Still quite expensive

A step below the flagship Galaxy S22 series in certain areas, but also significantly kinder to your bank account.- Quality cameras, Plenty of power on offer
- Dull colours, Only 25W charging

With the supply of standard S21 models starting to dry up, the S21 FE isn't really competing against the originals. It's a replacement that's sadly way past due. It's still a solid phone, but the standard Pixel 6 shoots better photos, has a more attractive design, and if you get the unlocked model...

The only prominent dual-SIM phone in the US- Two physical SIM slots, Powerful front-facing camera, Solid connectivity

Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is a great upper-mid-range phone
Samsung Galaxy S21 FE review
While the S21 FE is a totally acceptable phone, it’s one plagued by timing issues. Not just that the camera is slow and that the battery could be better, but timing in the release. The Galaxy S21 FE should have come out last year.- Nice to hold, Good screen, Supports 5G, Includes wireless charging, Water resistant, Technically good value
- Camera can be slow to fire, Battery isn't amazing, The release timing is downright terrible, given the S22 and the obvious price drops of the S21

At the end of the day, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is a phone caught up in the whirlwinds of transformation happening in the smartphone industry. Samsung has allegedly had this phone on the backburner for months, wondering whether it should release it or not, and when it finally has released it, it...- Fast performance, 120Hz Adaptive refresh rate, Excellent camera performance, Lightweight construction, One of few dual SIM phones in the US
- Priced very close to flagship models, Plastic construction might disappoint some, No microSD, no headphone jack, Thermal throttling is an issue

A bit late. The community smartphone is supposed to combine the most popular features of the Galaxy S series with a strong price-performance ratio. Among other things, the S21 FE aims to get fans' hearts racing with a strong performance, extensive video features, a fantastic display, and an IP...- high system performance, bright and accurate 120 Hz AMOLED display, modern communication interfaces, IP68 certification
- optional memory expansion removed, performance drops under load, bundled accessories decrease, price increases
