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.
This is purportedly the budget member of the Samsung Galaxy S21 range, offering features and specs from the main S21 family, but at a lower asking price because of a few select downgrades that average phone users likely won’t notice.
You can pick up the Galaxy S21 – a now older phone with more impressive specs and features – for less (assuming you find a good, sub-$600 deal).
We also found the software to be rather laggy, and swiping between menus, closing and booting up apps, and simply unlocking the phone often took longer than it would have on another mobile. That’s a surprise given the phone’s processor, screen refresh rate and RAM, but this isn’t the first time we’ve found Samsung’s One UI to behave like this. To be clear, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE isn’t a bad phone, which is why we gave it a mixed score as opposed to a negative one. If you can pick up the phone as part of a bundle, with price reduced in sales, refurbished or second hand, then you might discover the mobile is worth it.
The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE went on sale on January 11, 2022, after being unveiled at CES 2022 a week before, and retailers in the US, UK and Australia offered various incentives to encourage purchases, including free headphones or in-store credit. What’s more, many mid-range phones like the Realme GT, Moto G200, Pixel 5 and iPhone SE (2020) cost a lot less, and most come with comparable specs that make them more tempting mobiles. You’d be forgiven for confusing the Galaxy S21 FE with its non-FE siblings, because other than its size, it’s a dead ringer for the vanilla and Plus members of its family. That’s right, this is a plastic phone – or maybe we should call it Glasstic, which is Samsung’s marketing term for it, even though its similarities to glass (a common smartphone material) end with the name.
Colors, contrast, and brightness all look great, and it made streaming TV shows or playing games on the phone a treat. This telephoto snapper may be lower-res than the S21’s, but it’s actually paired with the same lens, which allows for 1.1x optical or 3x hybrid zoom; this seeming downgrade therefore won’t make a huge difference for most people. We found pictures taken on the main camera to be very colorful, which is pretty standard for shots taken on a Samsung phone – it’s apparent the brand’s scene optimization software has never heard of oversaturation.
Still, the main camera capabilities make shots look instantly social media-worthy, especially pics taken in well-lit situations.
We took the phone for a spin playing games, and it performed admirably, with quick loading, top graphical options available, and no significant lagging or freezing. The RAM, processor and screen refresh rate should make navigating the FE’s menus a breeze, but in our experience, that wasn’t the case.
We found that swiping between home pages, opening apps and unlocking the phone felt a little sluggish, especially when using gesture navigation. The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE has a 4,500mAh power pack – that’s a fairly standard size for a mobile – but we still found the battery life disappointingly lacking.
With average use – that is to say, some social media browsing, music streaming and maybe the odd game and photo capture here and there, we found the battery just about limped to the finish line and barely survived a whole day between powering. That’s with the fastest-charging cables we had at home, but since a charger isn’t included in the box, you’ll have to power at the speed of whatever plug you already own or choose to buy.
While the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE has similar screen specs to its siblings, it sits at a nice middle ground between them in terms of size. We found the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE comfortable to hold in the hand, with a thin body and light weight, so if you don’t want a chunky device it’s a good option.
We often found we needed to augment our behavior to get the Galaxy S21 FE to last a full day between charges – if you want a reliable one-day-plus mobile, it’s not going to be great for you.
Samsung Galaxy S21 FE review: One for the fans?
Inside, the Galaxy S21 FE comes with a similar lineup of core componentry as the regular S21, with the 5nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset at the helm, backed by 6GB of RAM, and either 128GB or 256GB of internal storage for your apps, photos and home movies. What this means is that the S21 FE delivered largely similar results as the S21 in our tests, matching single-core speeds in Geekbench 5, with the full-fat S21 coming off only slightly better in multicore. Night pictures are also wonderful, with the phone’s HDR algorithm working well to subdue bright highlights while simultaneously lifting darker areas.
Samsung Galaxy S21 FE review: Right phone, wrong 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. The tech here is a few months older than it should be, the rivals it would have had last summer have since had price cuts (as has the regular S21, lest we forget), and it arrives right as we’re about to see the launch of the Galaxy S22 series – due in February. So while there’s nothing wrong with the Galaxy S21 FE per se – it’s a pretty great phone, really – it’s trickier to recommend right now, as at full price there are better buys elsewhere. This time around the camera is wrapped in the same colour as the rest of the phone too, rather than a contrasting reflective finish – a nod to the design we’re expecting to see in next month’s S22.
In terms of size this phone sits in a sweet spot between the S21 and S21+, and is only a little heavier than the regular model at 177g. It’s got basically the same build quality too – Gorilla Glass Victus over the screen, an aluminium frame, and plastic back, with an IP68 rating to protect from water and dust.
The 6.4in display used here is just a little larger than the 6.2in screen on the regular S21, but not so much as to make this feel like a big phone – it’s still comfortable to hold, helped by the curved body and lightweight material. You’ll also get a fingerprint sensor built into the display, which has worked well for me so far, along with the option to use the selfie camera for face unlock. Samsung has also still packed stereo speakers into the phone, so you’re getting decent audio – though naturally there’s no headphone jack. In most parts of the world the S21 FE is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 chipset, which is paired with either 6 or 8GB RAM, and 128 or 256GB storage. In any case, benchmarks reveal predictably impressive performance from the 888, though not up there with the fastest phones using that chip. I’ve noticed the phone getting hot during benchmarks and other demanding applications, which is no doubt holding it back a little, so it looks like Samsung’s heat management leaves a little to be desired.
Shots are routinely crisp and vivid, with vibrant colours and excellent dynamic range. Light sources still tend to get a little blown out, and there’s a softness to some of my night mode photos that suggests more stabilisation is needed, but few phones at this price would do much better. The telephoto offers 3x zoom, and thanks to OIS shots stay crisp and clear, even in the dark. This lens is trickier to compare to the S21’s, as that phone actually uses a regular 64Mp camera instead of a true telephoto, and crops in digitally – to surprisingly good effect.
Those who follow the specs may appreciate that the FE features a ‘true’ telephoto camera, but in practice the results are pretty similar. It’s also a larger sensor, but the extra resolution means it works out to smaller pixels.
It’s clearly on a par in good lighting, but at night it falls back, with a loss of detail and slightly soft focus. Battery and charging are two areas where Samsung phones tend to be fine, but nothing special – certainly not compared to devices coming from the likes of Oppo and Xiaomi.
Samsung is shipping the S21 FE with Android 12 out of the box, running the company’s own OneUI 4.0 skin on top. If you’re tempted, you can buy it directly from Samsung, or from Amazon or any of the other usual phone and tech retailers. It’s a pretty great, well-rounded hardware package, that’s really only let down by some minor overheating issues and the fact that Samsung still lags far behind the Android pack on battery and charging tech.
Samsung Galaxy S21 FE review
Samsung recently launched the latest version of its Galaxy FE series, the slightly cheaper alternative to its flagship handsets. According to Samsung, the FE is meant to feature the most essential parts of the famous Galaxy S range, which is why the letters stand for ‘Fan Edition’. Thanks to Samsung’s coined ‘glasstic’ frame, the phone has a reassuringly tough, durable, matte feel, but without the heaviness of a fully glass or ceramic body. The camera array is integrated almost seamlessly into the back of the handset, with only a slightly noticeable bump to account for all the lenses.
It means that it can lie pretty flat on a table (unlike many smartphones nowadays), and it’s easy to slide into your pocket or bag — no snags in sight. There’s also quite a charming ‘ring’ around the phone for any of the colour options you choose — whether that’s the Graphite, Olive, Lavender or White version.
It’s a nice bit of stylistic flair that doesn’t take up any screen space, but it gives the handset a very modern, futuristic look. There’s no flair or interesting design on the back of the phone – just a plain block colour with Samsung’s logo towards the bottom.
Finally, as is the case with all Samsung phones (thank the heavens), there is a hole-punch front-facing camera in the middle of the screen, so lining up selfies is super easy.
Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen technology: Accurately shows very dark scenes and pictures thanks to no backlighting of the pixels The 1080 x 2400 pixel resolution packs a tonne of detail into subjects and close-ups, making it feel like you’re right there in the scene. If there’s one note we’d have on the S21 FE’s display, it’d be that its standard app icons at the bottom of the screen (Phone / Camera / Messages / Internet Browser), don’t have labels to say what they are.
After you’ve taken a photo, Samsung’s impressive camera AI will automatically edit the scene to look as close to how it appears in front of you. This doesn’t make a huge difference in the grand scheme of things, but it does mean that zoomed-in images on the S21 FE carry less detail and picture quality than those on the standard S21. Just like with any premium Samsung smartphone, the S21 FE can handle mobile games and high-quality video with ease. Even when playing a Netflix show in high-resolution in the corner of the screen and editing documents at the same time, there was no point where the FE struggled to keep up with it all.
So it’s not meant for absolute power users who are constantly flipping between games, live streaming, photo editing, emails and regular social media posts all at once. Last year’s S21 had 8GB RAM, which would allow you to use even more heavy apps at the same time, such as live mobile games and video editing software.
The FE has a standard amount of internal storage on offer, which will be fine for most people, but perhaps not enough for users dealing with big files, such as high-quality video clips. So you can take advantage of the UK’s growing ultrafast mobile internet if you live in, or are just visiting, an urban area with enough coverage.
Samsung really likes to brighten its screens to show off its great colour scheme, so you can turn that down in the settings to use up less power. That’s when the screen adapts its smoothness to what is showing on-screen, which puts less stress on your battery while still giving you the maximum quality when it makes a real difference. Whether you like what the S21 has to offer, but would prefer a larger screen, or you want the premium experience of a Samsung flagship, but at a slightly lower cost, the S21 FE would be a very good choice. In short, the Samsung S21 FE is a cost-effective, fresh alternative to the S21 right now, and its cheaper price makes it a great consideration compared to the S22 as well.
Samsung Galaxy S21 FE review: Good phone, wrong time
To me, fans are the people who are first in line, first to read all the related news and rumors, and most importantly, the first to check out the latest products from their favorite device makers. So when Samsung announced the $700 Galaxy S21 Fan Edition almost a full year after the original S21 came out, it felt long overdue.
Elsewhere, the S21 FE essentially has the same design as its forebears, featuring a centrally located selfie cam in front, a power button and volume rocker on the right, and a USB-C port on bottom for data and charging. There’s a speaker grille down below that works with the phone’s earpiece to provide stereo audio, which sounds fine even if it’s a little light on bass for my taste. Samsung makes the best phone displays in the industry, and even though the screen on the S21 FE isn’t quite as big or high-res as the S21 Ultra’s, there’s not much to complain about. Visually, this doesn’t have a big impact on the S21 FE’s overall UI and layout, though the extra personalization options do make it easier to customize your home and lock screens.
And because Samsung’s spin on Android has long included support for features like scrolling screenshots, the most important upgrade in One UI 4.0 is the new Privacy Dashboard. On the flip side, Samsung actually increased the resolution of S21 FE’s front cam to 32-MP (up from 10MP on the S21), which is nice if you like a lot of selfies or videos for social media.
But at the same time, I don’t really think this one upgrade is enough to change the overall impact of the device, leaving it feeling more like a nice bonus and less like a notable improvement. It delivers speedy performance and helps support features like 4K video capture across all of the phone’s cameras (at 60 frames per second on the main wide-angle and front selfie cams and 30 fps for the rest). But for people who do a lot of memory-intensive tasks like gaming or video editing, the FE’s lower base RAM is probably the biggest reason to pay $70 to upgrade to the 8GB model or just opt for a standard S21 or S21+. It’s annoying for sure, but like Apple, Google and others, Samsung says not including a power adapter with its phones should help cut down on e-waste.
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 directly from Google, it costs $100 less, too. So even if you’re a huge fan of Samsung’s latest FE handset, at the very least, you should wait to see what the S22 has to offer before purchasing what is essentially a year-old phone.
Instead of a repackaged year-old phone, why not make a premium remixed version sporting a microSD card slot and headphone jack? Not only would this be a welcome alternative to a lot of today’s flagships with minimal ports, but it’d also be a considerate nod to old-school Galaxy phone fans who may have felt betrayed when Samsung removed those features from the S20 in 2019. 411ppi, up to 120Hz Dimensions 6.13 x 2.93 x 0.31 inches / 155.7 x 74.5 x 7.9 mm; 6.24 oz / 177 g Processor, RAM and Storage Qualcomm Snapdragon 888;6GB DDR5 RAM;128GB / 256GB UFS 3.1 storage Rear cameras 12MP f/1.8 wide, 1.2-micron pixels, 1/1.31″ sensor and f/1.85 aperture12MP ultrawide camera, 1.25-micron pixels, 114-degree FOV and f/2.2 Front camera 32MP, 1.22-micron pixels, f/2.2 Battery 4,500 mAh, 25-watt fast-charging, fast wireless charging Sensors and connectivity Under-display fingerprint sensor, single sim, NFC, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.0 Water resistance IP68
Samsung Galaxy S21 FE review
We loved the standard S21 and the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra — the latter even bagged a rare five-star review from our experts. However, with the Samsung Galaxy S22 is just around the corner, it can’t help but make the FE’s release feel a little muted.
It begs the question: ‘Why buy this for a similar price as the S21 when you could wait a month or so for an S22 that likely won’t cost much more?’ There’s nothing particularly wrong with Samsung’s latest handset but it’s going to struggle to stand out from the crowd in an increasingly competitive marketplace. It’s a great phone in a lot of ways, but right now it’s held back by its price and the strange timing of the release. On the face of it, the specs sheet below is what we expected and the phone delivers an enjoyable user experience, though not a perfect one.
Its 6GB of RAM and Snapdragon 888 chipset make for a smooth enough experience, the camera captures bright, detailed images consistently and the display is very good. However, that smooth 120Hz refresh rate isn’t an adaptive one that can notch up and down to suit your usage, so the battery runs down slightly more quickly than it otherwise would. Occasional moments of lag compare poorly to competing phones from Google and Apple.
Typing was a recurring example of this — it just wasn’t as smooth as the Google equivalent, running Android 12 without the Samsung One UI laid over the top. We wouldn’t be surprised to see retailers offering some good deals on the FE soon, precisely because it’s currently occupying a strange space in the line-up and the wider market. Previously this type of ‘FE’ (or SE in Apple’s case,) iteration of a phone was based around offering a lot of the same tech, slightly later, for a smaller price tag.
Given that the standard Samsung Galaxy S21 is often discounted below this price at present — and given you can pick up a Google Pixel 6 for less too — it’s hard to see the unique appeal of the FE. The one saving grace of this pricing strategy is that Samsung offers £150 off the FE if you trade in an old Android phone. There’s a full menu of reasonably top-end features including wireless charging, zoom photography and snappy performance. With that in mind, it’s not a phone for a power user and probably not the handset to pick if battery life is one of your main priorities.
Bear in mind though, it is less powerful than the standard handset, which packs a similar set-up and a 64MP telephoto camera, rather than a 12MP one. The FE can take 30x hybrid zoom images, just as the S21 can, but with less power to get the job done, they end up lacking in detail.
The composite plastic back of the phone is similar to that of the standard S21, while lower-end than a glass panel it is aesthetically pleasing and doesn’t mark up easily. Twinned with the appealing display and metallic edges, the S21 FE feels like a tactile, good-looking and well-made handset. This reviewer accidentally dropped the phone almost straight away, (queue panicked swearing,) but the FE was completely unfazed, with no scratches or blemishes at all. The 6.4-inch display does work as the phone’s centrepiece thanks to its slim bezels, curved corners and bright colour rendering. If you have an Android phone to trade in that knocks the price down and makes it worth considering but there are also great deals to be had on the standard S21 at the moment. If you’re a real Samsung fan, or you have an old Android phone to trade in, then you might still be tempted to pick up the FE.
Samsung Galaxy S21 FE review
Why you can trust Tom’s Guide Our writers and editors spend hours analyzing and reviewing products, services, and apps to help find what’s best for you. After going on sale in January, the Galaxy S21 FE is available through both carriers and retailers as well as through Samsung’s own online store. While there is a bump holding that strip of vertically aligned lenses, it blends seamlessly into the side of the phone, making the array seem less prominent. I wish the sides of the Galaxy S21 FE were a little bit more prominent, though — instead, they’re fairly slick, making the phone hard to hold on to.
An overlay that appears when the phone is locked makes the sensor easy to find, and I’ve certainly found it more responsive than the Pixel 6’s pokey unlocking feature. The smaller panel doesn’t feel particularly cramped, and I’d go so far as to say it probably makes the S21 FE easier to use with one hand than the previous model.
That means scrolling will look smoother on the Galaxy S21 FE’s display, which leads to a better overall experience with the phone. That said, it looks like you can only toggle between 120Hz and 60Hz manually; the other phones in the Galaxy S21 lineup have adaptive displays that adjust on the fly.
Both Samsung phones recorded Delta-E ratings of 0.29, so colors are just as accurate on the Galaxy S21 FE as they are on the more expensive model. The 8MP telephoto lens is easily the biggest trade-off between the Galaxy S21 FE and Samsung’s standard flagship. I don’t have either an S21 or S21 Plus on hand, but I imagine photos taken with either phone’s telephoto lens will look a little sharper than what you get from the Galaxy S21 FE. Considering those two devices rank among the best camera phones , it’s worth seeing how the Galaxy S21 FE’s photographic output measures up.
The cilantro leaves topping the tacos in the Galaxy S21 FE shot stand out a bit more distinctly, and the texture of the lime green wall in the background is more detailed. Moving outside to a covered vegetable stand, we see the Galaxy S21 FE exhibit a familiar trait for Samsung camera phones — it likes to amp up colors, even if the end result teeters on over-saturating the shot. I think the Pixel 6’s warmer tones lead to a better composed shot — the tomatoes may not look as vibrant as they do in the S21 FE’s photo, but the overall image is balanced throughout. Not that the S21 FE’s bias toward colors doesn’t pay off in some instances, like in this shot at a nearby marina with downtown Oakland in the background.
The bend seems more pronounced on the Galaxy S21 FE’s shot, but I think that’s partly because people are walking into the frame just as I hit the shutter button. Once again the Galaxy S21 FE has highlighted the colors, particularly the blue sky, but it’s washed out some elements of the movie theater’s art deco facade.
The Galaxy S21 FE’s portrait mode does an adequate job blurring the background of shots to highlight your subject, even if it aggressively smooths out faces. Samsung says it improved the Night Mode on the Galaxy S21 FE, and I think that’s evident from this shot of a skeleton we have hanging in our basement workshop.
The skeleton emerges clearly from the shadows in the Galaxy S21 FE shot, and Samsung’s phone even does a good job balancing the ambient lighting streaming in from the right side of the picture.
On the bright side, the Snapdragon 888 is the same system-on-chip that powered the entire Galaxy S21 lineup, so you can expect comparable performance with those models. Samsung includes less RAM, with the 128GB base model of the Galaxy S21 FE sporting only 6GB to the 8GB found in the standard S21. I played PUBG Mobile on the Galaxy S21 FE, and the game ran smoothly without sacrificing any of the first-person shooter’s detailed graphics.
The Pixel 6, which is powered by Google’s Tensor silicon, lags the Galaxy S21 FE with a 2,696 multicore score. You get a 4,500 mAh battery inside the Galaxy S21 FE, which is the same size as the power pack in the phone’s predecessor. With a slightly smaller screen and a more power efficient chipset running the new phone, you’d be inclined to expect some improvement in battery life over the Galaxy S20 FE’s so-so performance. However, in our demanding battery test — we have a phone surf the web continuously over 5G until it runs out of power — the Galaxy S21 FE fell flat.
Disabling that feature improves things considerably, with the Galaxy S21 FE lasting 9 hours and 15 minutes. That’s better than the Pixel 6’s time of 8 hours and 13 minutes with its 90Hz mode turned on, though it stinks that you have to disable a marquee feature to squeeze more battery life out of the Galaxy S21 FE.
There are perfectly sound environmental reasons for that move, but it puts the burden on consumers to already have a charger that can support the Galaxy S21 FE’s speeds or to buy one along with the phone. The delayed Galaxy S21 FE launch has a silver lining in one regard — you won’t have to wait for an update to Android 12.
Instead, the Galaxy S21 FE ships with Google’s latest software already installed, along with Samsung’s updated One UI 4.0 interface. One UI 4 introduces a number of ways to customize the look of your phone’s home screen, icons, wallpapers and more.
Samsung also adopted many of the privacy features Google built into Android 12, so that you can get alerts when an app tries to use the Galaxy S21 FE’s microphone or camera. Additionally, the launch of the Galaxy S22 has prompted Samsung to extend software support for its top phones to four years.
The Galaxy S21 FE is a fine addition to Samsung’s S21 lineup, retaining the very best features of those flagship phones for a more modest price. The tradeoffs you have to make to save $100 aren’t major ones, with the biggest sacrifice being the lack of an adaptive display as that can impact battery life.
Samsung Galaxy S21 FE Review
The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE ticks multiple boxes, offering good performance and a well-thought-out feature list. It isn’t the most exciting phone I’ve reviewed recently, though, and I can’t help but feel it’s been released a little too late.
However, after spending a few weeks with the Galaxy S21 FE, I can confirm there’s plenty to like – even if it feels like it’s arriving a few months later than it should have. Samsung first introduced the ‘FE’ (or Fan Edition) branding a few years ago to signify a pared-down version of one of its flagship devices.
I was a huge fan of the Galaxy S20 FE, which was, in many ways, an easier recommendation than the regular S20 as a result of its slightly larger display and superior Snapdragon chipset. For one, Samsung has made the regular Galaxy S21 device cheaper than its predecessor, bringing in some of the more mid-range features from the FE range from the start.
Coming from the iPhone 13 Pro Max, which is only slightly taller, the S21 FE feels extremely comfortable to hold for extended periods. Phones such as the OnePlus 9 Pro would slow down the screen for these kinds of tasks to preserve battery life.
I loaded up a number of photos rich with reds and greens; the representation wasn’t quite as strong as that on the FE. The screen’s 1080p resolution helps it deliver sharp text and images, high levels of brightness and a 240Hz touch response rate for gaming.
This is the standout sensor, and since it’s pretty much the same unit that features in the regular Galaxy S21, photos are reliable in all manner of conditions. By that I mean vivid colours (greens and reds, in particular, are very saturated) and sharp details that can, at times, look a little overprocessed.
Although when you consider the offerings from Chinese brands such as OnePlus, Oppo, Xiaomi and Realme, I’d expect any £700 phone to be packing top specs these days. It’s great that Samsung is using a ‘flagship’ processor here, but now that the 888 has been superseded by the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, I don’t expect it will be long before we begin to see phones with that latter, more efficient chipset included. A few years ago, I regularly criticised Samsung for sticking high-end specs in its phone and then seemingly making them slower with buggy software that would often become worse over time. While this isn’t a redesign on a par with Android 12 on Pixel phones, some Material You elements have made the jump across. This is a 5G device, so if you have a 5G-capable SIM, and you’re in an area where the network is supported, you’ll benefit from improved download speeds. Trying to gauge battery performance purely based on the size of the cell is becoming impossible, since there are so many factors that can impact endurance.
I’ve been using the S21 FE for a couple of weeks now, and it has managed to get me through a busy workday of emailing, Slacking and streaming – but only just. I wouldn’t feel confident hammering it all day and then taking it out on the town in the evening with the hope of having some juice left for an Uber.
A full charge with a 25W-capable plug took about 1hr 30mins, which is similar to the iPhone 13 Pro and Pixel 6, but slow compared to some of the fastest Android phones. You want a phone without any glaring feature omission: The S21 FE comes with a good OLED screen, wireless charging, an IP-rated body and three reliable cameras. The Pixel 6 is cheaper, with a much better camera and more innovative software, while the regular Galaxy S21 offers a better screen and can be had for a similar price. Final Thoughts The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is a little too pricey when you consider what the Pixel 6 offers for less, but this is a device that will get the job done for a lot of people.
It has a nice screen, speedy specs and a trio of cameras that will appeal to those who have shot with Samsung phones for years. A quick search shows that the standard S21 can be had for less than £699 – and, between the two, I’d go for the S21 over the FE due to its better screen and superior zoom camera.
Then there’s the upcoming launch of the Galaxy S22 to consider – it’s worth waiting to see what the base model in that lineup offers before taking the plunge here. We use industry standard tests to compare features properly and we use the phone as our main device over the review period.
