Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G (256GB, Graphite) AU - Excellent review
For a quick note on audio output from the Galaxy S21 FE's bottom and earpiece stereo speakers, we'd offer that there's not too much to get excited over acoustically. Though lately we've been hearing a trend of better audio output from on-board phone speaker systems, it's obviously a tertiary feature...- Solid Design And Build Quality, Gorgeous High Refresh Rate Display, Feature-Packed, Great Camera Performance, 32MP Selfie Cam, Solid General Performance
Samsung Galaxy S21 FE Review Philippines: Bad Timing
The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is a great phone on its own for folks in the Philippines, but its release timing puts it in a difficult spot for people holding out for the next big thing.- Excellent camera, Great user experience, Powerful processor
- The battery isn’t great, Slow charging for a flagship, Release window too close to next-gen flagship
Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G (256GB, Graphite) AU - Excellent review
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...
Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G (256GB, Graphite) AU - Excellent review
“The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G is the capable successor to the S20 FE, but comes at a poor time with the S22 around the corner, making it tougher to justify its value.”- Powerful specifications, Solid cameras, Impressive 120Hz display, Priced well for a flagship
- Touchscreen issues, Battery just OK, Too much competition at its price point
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!
Samsung Galaxy S21 FE review
On paper, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is a fine mid-range phone, with adequate features like an attractive screen, powerful processor and capable cameras for those looking for a handy, less expensive mobile. However, the launch price is still far too high for what you get, not to mention issues like slow charging speed, laggy software and an unimpressive battery life.- Vibrant display
- Lots of processing power
- Slender design
- Far too expensive
- Takes a long time to charge
- Unimpressive battery life
Samsung's Galaxy S21 FE Is Great. Just Don't Pay Full Price
This top-end Android smartphone arrives at an awkward time.- Great performance. Reliable and versatile cameras. Day-long battery life (and a little more). Bright, 120-Hz AMOLED screen. Wireless charging, 5G, IP68 water resistance. Great software support.
- Awkward timing
- the Galaxy S22 is just around the corner. No MicroSD card slot.
Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G (256GB, Graphite) AU - Excellent review
The S21 FE is a phone out of time. It’s a pretty great, well-rounded hardware package and I doubt many people would come away disappointed, but it’s launched six months too late.- Under-stated, attractive design, Impressive triple rear camera, Updates through to Android 15
- Expensive for the specs, Average battery & charging, Older tech
Samsung Galaxy S21 FE (Review Samsung Galaxy S21 FE)
The only prominent dual-SIM phone in the US- Two physical SIM slots, Powerful front-facing camera, Solid connectivity
- Processing power is aggressively throttled, Not much of an improvement over the Galaxy S21
Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G (256GB, Graphite) AU - Excellent review
You should probably buy the Pixel 6 instead- Big, high refresh rate screen, Good telephoto camera, Great software support policy
- Fast charging brick costs extra, Arrives late in the S21-series product cycle
