The ‘Fan Edition' or FE series from Samsung was designed to offer enthusiast users flagship-grade smartphone features at mid-range prices. Samsung nailed it with the Galaxy S20 FE 5G, leaving not a lot of room for improvement. This year, we have a follow-up FE smartphone called the Galaxy S21 FE 5G, which Samsung hopes will be another runaway success. As I've already pointed out in my first impressions of the phone, the Galaxy S21 FE 5G is an incremental update that doesn't really elevate the FE experience by much, but nevertheless will be an important phone in Samsung's portfolio once the Galaxy S20 FE 5G is phased out.

Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G Summary

The most noticeable change in the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G compared to its predecessor is its design. It's also a lot lighter at 177g. The 6.4-inch AMOLED display is vibrant and has satisfying levels of brightness. It has a 120Hz peak refresh rate and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus for protection. The Galaxy S21 FE 5G gets the same Exynos 2100 SoC as seen in the flagship S21 series. It also comes with Dolby Atmos, an IP68 certification for dust and water resistance, and wireless charging.

It's a no-nonsense value flagship that does everything you ask of it, and does it well. What I liked most about it was the low weight, which made it very comfortable to carry in my pocket or hand. The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G supports HDR10 playback and apps such as Netflix recognise this ability too. The overall camera experience is similar to that of the Galaxy S20 FE 5G, which is to say, they are very dependable.

If you haven't already snagged the launch offer and bought the Galaxy S21 FE 5G, I'd say the Galaxy S20 FE 5G offers far better value right now. It's practically the same as the new model, so you really aren't losing out on anything. The Galaxy S21 FE 5G will make more sense once its price drops and the Galaxy S20 FE 5G is phased out of the market, but till then, I'd recommend getting the older model instead.

Great device & poor battery.

GRACE SAVED SYNARCHER (Oct 4, 2024) on Gadgets 360 Recommends

I gave 4⭐ but i'd have given less than 3⭐ because of 2 things: 1. The mobile network fluctuates, frequently keeps turning off, then auto reset and refresh/restore itself repeatedly over and over again while using the internet or an applications, 2. The Battery back-up is the worst compared to all the other devices i've ever seen & used. Overall the device performance & functions are smooth, great & up to my satisfaction. I recommend it if you're an occasional user due to bad battery backup but do not buy if you need it for a constant, frequent or a continual use like me, the battery backup sucks!
