Lack of reliability
This phone conked off in just about a year. This was a huge loss. Had paid 56k and got just 13k as realise value in just about a year’s time. It had started to malfunction a few days prior. Terrible experience with Samsung flagship

Don't buy any Samsung mobiles. Waste of money
Samsung mobiles are worst mobiles. My Samsung s21 fe backcover separated on it's own. Lock button gone also Camara cover also gone. Now second day display screen causing line issues. So display also gone. If I go service center they are saying Samsung backcover is not available. My phone 2 years old. It's too bad product. Compared to this other mobiles are good. I'm protecting My mobile very good however Samsung validity 2 year that's it.

Great value for 25k
I've been using the s21 fe for more than 45 days Pros- ●Compact and light weight. ●The design and build looks premium unlike the s23 fe. ●In the software department you can literally customize anything, and of course it is smooth, I didn't notice any major lag or hang till now. ●The camaras are the best at 25k, the low light performance is great. ●If you use it at 60hz and in dark mode, you can easily get more than 6 hours of backup on a single charge. ●I didn't had any problem in multitasking and casual gaming but as I'm not a hard core gamer I don't think I should talk much about it. ●The speaker is surprisingly loud for the size and the haptic moter is great. ●There are countless small but useful features baked in the software, one of them is you can give audio output to as many devices as you want(I've checked with 4 devices) via bluetooth. Cons- ●Under direct sunlight the brightness feels low, the screen is not clearly visible. ●In summer it heats up quickly and in direct sunlight it becomes really hot. ●I felt like with every update the camaras are getting worse, for example in the last update the night photos were significantly degraded. ●If you use it in 120hz and in light mode the battery hardly lasts 3 hour. ●You will not get most of the new A.I features, till now it has only got circle to search. Update- After the november(2024) update ●The battery backup is improved and now it is usable at 120hz ●The camaras are also a bit improved but not as good as it was with the old version of software(One UI 6.0) It is good to see that samsung is paying some attention to their old phones after a long time.

Best for 25k but comes with compromises
Price: Bought it for ₹25,499 in a Non-Sale season which is insane 🤯. Display (5/5): Dynamic 2x with 120 Hz with Amazing Screen to Body ratio with negligible bezels 🤩 Performance (4/5): I know Snapdragon 888 is almost 4 year old processor launched in December 2020 but still it's comparable with Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 available in under 30k phones and the phone is smooth in normal day to day use. I don't play games so no issues for me but it heats quite a lot like all Snapdragon 888 phones used to heat back in 2021 and it's heating is kinda manageable if you cap it to 70% using Battery Saver mode. Cameras (5/5): No explanation needed it's the USP of this phone. Charging (4/5): Decent speed charges in an hour at 25W. Battery Life (2.5/5): Weak point of this phone because you get just 4-5 hours battery in 120 Hz and to maximize it to 6-7 hours I use Battery saver mode which reduces refresh rate to 60 Hz, AOD is Off and 5G is turned off as I use VI sim which still doesn't have 5G 😂. Additional Features not found around 25k: 1) USB Gen 3 for Wired and Wireless output in Samsung Dex. 2) Wireless charging at 15W. (I don't use it because of heating) 3) S-series One UI and still 2 major Android updates and 3 years of security patch updates. 4) Stereo Speakers which are awesome with Dolby Atmos. 5) UFS 3.1 with LPDDR5 Ram for faster read write speeds in file transfers. 6) 256 GB storage Genuine Cons ⚠️ 1) Greenline issues may come as Exynos 2100 variant has world wide Greenline issues. 2) Back Panel Glue melting issues have also been reported on Twitter across India due to overheating of this phone. Cons for me (not necessarily for everyone): 1) No charging in the box (₹989 spent extra for Samsung 25W charger). 2) No headphone jack so I can't use my existing Earphones (₹1349 spent extra for Samsung AKG Type-C Earphones). 3) No Backcover (₹708 for Spigen case). 4) Due to less battery life bought Samsung 20000 mAh 45W Powerbank for ₹3149 All these cons lead to the total cost of ₹32k almost for me but even if you don't buy offical Samsung accessories like me you'll end up spending around ₹2-3k extra for Charger, cover, Tempered Glass and Powerbank if you're traveling to places where Powerpoint for charging isn't available. Final Verdict (4/5): I still gave it a 4 because all the cons were known to me before buying this phone and as I want to shoot videos and don't have a high budget to buy S23 or iPhone. I bought this considering all the compromises 😊. Important Messenge: "S23 FE and S21 FE has nearly has everything same only difference being more updates, Glass Back, all AI features (S21 FE also has few AI features) and 8k recording but it has the same heating issues and less Battery life like S21 FE. So, if you're strict on Budget like me buy the S21 FE there's no point in extending your budget for S23 FE"

Flagship-like experience!
The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is a fan edition phone that offers a flagship-like experience at a more affordable price. It has a lot of features that make it a great choice for anyone looking for a powerful and versatile smartphone. Some of the pros of the Galaxy S21 FE are: - It has a 6.4-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, which makes everything look smooth and vibrant. The screen also supports HDR10+ and has a punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera. - It is powered by the Exynos 2100 processor, which is the same chip that runs the Galaxy S21 series in India. This means it can handle any task or game with ease, and also supports both sub-6GHz and mmWave 5G networks. - It has an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, which means it can survive accidental splashes or drops in water. It also supports wireless charging and reverse wireless charging, which lets you charge other devices by placing them on the back of the phone. - It comes with 4 years of software updates, which is more than most Android phones offer. This means it will get the latest security patches and features from Samsung for a long time. Some of the cons of the Galaxy S21 FE are: - It has a 4,500mAh battery, which is smaller than the Galaxy S20 FE's battery. This means it may not last as long on a single charge, especially if you use the 120Hz mode or 5G frequently. The phone does support 25W fast charging, but you have to buy the charger separately as it is not included in the box. - It has a plastic back, which may not feel as premium as glass or metal. The back also attracts fingerprints and smudges easily, so you may want to use a case or a skin to protect it. The phone does have a metal frame, which adds some sturdiness and durability. Overall, the Galaxy S21 FE is a great phone that offers a lot of value for money. It has a stunning display, a powerful processor, a versatile camera system, and a long-term software support. It may not have the best battery life or the most premium design, but it still delivers a satisfying and enjoyable user experience. If you are looking for a phone that can do it all without breaking the bank, the Galaxy S21 FE is worth considering.

Excellent phone that is pricey and late to the market.
This is the first flagship-grade device I have ever had. I was disappointed as it was not launched with SD888 in India, however, after using it, Exynos 2100 is not bad either. Likes: • The Phone is built solid, feels very good to hold in hand. Corning Gorilla Glass Victus and a Stock Case from Samsung has already saved my phone once. • Selfie and Rare cameras are excellent in Daylight for both Photos and Videos. Night Time Photos and Videos are not that great. Attached are sample photos and a video of a River. • Charging time for 0% to 100% is 100 minutes with a 25W fast charger from Samsung. One minute of charge approximately equals 1% of charge. • Display is Superb. 120Hz or 60Hz is the option you can choose. • This phone supports Carrier Aggregation : • Exynos 2100 Data Sheet mentions that the modem supports – o 5G NR Sub-6GHz 5.1Gbps (DL) /1.92 Gbps (UL) o 5G NR mmWave 7.35Gbps (DL) /3.67 Gbps (UL) o LTE Cat.24 8CA 3Gbps (DL) /Cat.22 4CA 422Mbps (UL) o But does the phone support up to 8CA? I do not know • I got 4CC from Jio, and for the first time in my life, I experienced LTE Speeds above 100 Mbps on the downlink and 30 Mbps on the Uplink during speed tests. • OneUI experience is awesome. Dislikes: • Battery - If you use a 120 Hz refresh rate, Always On Display, your battery will drain from 80% to 20% in half a day. If you use 60Hz and turn off AOD, you might make it through the full day. Always advisable to take the charger or a power bank with you. • Phone gets warm during normal use and while taking photos but gets hotter when you start shooting videos. Overall an excellent phone, which is late to the market and pricey, with a battery not truly lasting a day.
