Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G (Graphite, 8GB RAM, 256GB Storage) with Snapdragon 888 Processor

Before s21fe SD888 256gb I have used OnePlus Nord CE2, Samsung M51, Xiomi Mi A3. So I can say I have used many different phones and not a fan of one company. So far s21fe is the best purchase ever. This is a truly value for money under or around 30k if you are looking for- 1) Great media consumption (Prime, Netflix, youtube, instagram) phone with Excellent display and dolby stereo sound 2) Great camera phone with telephoto lens 3) Pretty good for web browsing 4) Adware and bloatware free, clean UI 5) It is 6.4 inch screen. Not a very big phone. One hand operation is possible. 6) It has "routines" that lets you program your phone as you wish. Fairly good for gaming if you are playing for less than 30 Minutes. But prolonged gamers please dont buy due to the heating. Also charging speed slow as it is only 25 watts. Takes about an hour to charge from 20 to 100%. Battery lasts for about 16 hours with 5 hr SOT. You can use power saving mode and tweek it to increase battery life. I only charge at night so charging speed is not an issue for me. No charger included in box. Buy Samsung original charger online. Hope this helps your decision.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE offers a lot of flagship features at a more affordable price. The 6.4-inch AMOLED display is vibrant and smooth with its 120Hz refresh rate. The performance is solid, thanks to the Snapdragon 888 processor, making multitasking and gaming a breeze. The camera setup is versatile, capturing excellent photos in various conditions. However, the battery life is a bit of a letdown. With moderate usage, it struggles to last a full day, which might be a concern for heavy users. Fast charging helps, but I wish the battery was stronger. Overall, it’s a great phone, but the battery performance holds it back from being perfect. This version addresses the battery issue while still highlighting the phone's strengths.

Okay, so, there's a lot of ratings/reviews of this phone out there already, so i'mma keep it short: 1) yes, the battery backup is not great, you have to charge the phone once in the middle of the day. No, it's not atrocious as some of them claim, but it's not gonna blow your mind either. 2) yes, the build quality is a bit lacking. After about a year, if your not careful, the back cover of the phone can come out, the glue loosening. Use a case though and you should be fine. Not the most durable but absolutely workable. 3) the performance is great. After about a year of heavy use in many different cities and climate, I can say that aside from the occasional hiccups (very much expected cuz after all it's a technical product) the phone has been a work power house. Couldn't make it slow down even if I tried. Yes, if you game a lot it's gonna heat up, but so does phones which cost well above a 1000 dollars. You want one that can last long and be cool get yourself a gaming phone. 4) outside brightness is absolutely legible even under bright daylight. The dynamic Amoled 2x screen is a wonder to behold. Though it lacks the dynamic refresh rate of the rest of the s series lineup, this display is on a class of its own. 5) all that being said, experience vary on a very personal basis. My experience and the next persons will have similarities as well as differences. So, take everything I said as a subjective review after a year of usage, not an objective one. Tl;dr: great phone with some concerns to note. 10/10 would buy again.

I bought it for 25k and it is worth-it. ▪️Pros:- • It has almost 'S' series phone's features (except Galaxy Ai) in this range of price. • The camera setup for this device is perfect & stunning one; as it has got 3 sensors (wide, ultra wide, 3x optical zoom lens which is great). • Its so lightweight, handy, medium sized phone. • The camera module, slim design, great display, good performance everything is nice. • Performance wise i also like as it comes with SD 888 & it's very smooth while doing day-to-day tasks & also in gaming. ▪️Cons:- • Heating is the main issue I can say about cons. While using camera for a while, or if we use any social media platforms it won't get heat but there will a slight warm over the camera module area. • Other backdrop is that it only supports 25W charging speed which we have to buy additional as the box doesn't come with the adapter. • The charging is slow although it has only 4500mAh battery; for normal use it will stand for a day but if you are some more heavy use you should charge it twice.

Purchased mobile on 21-11-2024 and by February 2026 the mobile all of a sudden it had developed two Vertical lines on the screen. I have approached Samsung service center at Kukatpalli and they have sent the mobile to Noida for repair. After a week i have received a call from the service center and they told that it was rejected by the service center at Noida saying that my mobile was already in use from August 2024 and I was sold a used one. As such they have Rejected to repair the Mobile. Since you have sold me a Used mobile I request you to arrange for Replacement immediately

Value of money and better with snapdragon 888. A good product from samsung.

I have been using Samsung phones for 10 years and the performance ,camara and battery on this S21FE were solid for daily use However ,after arecent software update, 2 vertical lines appeared on the screen .There was no physical damage or water exposure from on line forums,I see this is a known issue with the S21 series.Samsung India had offered free display replacement for this defect earlier,but my warranty is over now. Performents and camera were good initially,but the display issue makes the phone unusable.Hopping samsung addresses this as a manufactuaring defect

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"
