Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G (2023): Premium Features at an Incredible Value
I purchased the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G (2023, Snapdragon Edition) during Amazon’s Great Freedom Sale as a gift for my father. After spending a month with this device, I’m excited to share a detailed review of its features and performance. This phone offers a compelling mix of premium features and mid-range pricing, making it an attractive option for those seeking value without compromising on quality. From its sleek design and vibrant display to its smooth performance and versatile camera system, the S21 FE 5G delivers a well-rounded experience that stands out in its category. Below is my in-depth analysis of the S21 FE 5G based on real-world usage, covering everything from its build quality to its software experience and battery life.1. Display: The 6.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display is brilliant, offering vibrant colors, 120Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+ support. The slim bezels enhance the immersive experience, though some users might find the screen size slightly small.2. Cameras: The main and ultrawide lenses deliver excellent photos with vivid colors and good detail. The telephoto lens performs well in good lighting but struggles in low light. Video recording is smooth, but 4K at 60fps can be a bit less stable.3. User Interface: Running on One UI 5.1 with Android 13, the user experience is polished and intuitive. The interface is smooth, with minimal bloatware, and the device is supported by regular monthly security updates from Samsung. However, it’s unclear whether the phone will receive the (3+4) or (4+5) years of updates.4. Battery: The 4500mAh battery is the phone’s weak spot, offering about 5-6 hours of screen time under normal use, with faster drain during gaming. Charging is standard at 25W wired and 15W wireless, taking around 1 hour and 20 minutes for a full charge. Heavy users may find the battery life disappointing.5. Design: The phone’s design is sleek and stylish, with a metal frame and plastic back that feels premium. Weighing just 177 grams, it’s comfortable to hold and carry. However, it lacks an SD card slot, though the 256GB internal storage compensates for this. The flat display may not appeal to those who prefer curved screens.6. Performance: Powered by the Snapdragon 888, the S21 FE 5G handles daily tasks and gaming with ease. The performance is smooth with no significant lag, although the phone can get warm during extended use, particularly during gaming sessions.7. Miscellaneous: The X-axis vibration motor offers satisfying haptic feedback, enhancing the overall user experience. The device includes premium features like DeX (both wired and wireless), wireless power sharing, and NFC for mobile payments. The stereo speakers, enhanced by Dolby Atmos, provide rich and balanced audio, perfect for enjoying movies and music. The USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port also supports fast data transfer.Overall Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G is an exceptional choice for those seeking a premium smartphone experience without breaking the bank. Its stunning display, powerful Snapdragon 888 performance, and excellent camera capabilities make it a standout in its price range. While the battery life could be better, it’s more than sufficient for moderate users. If you value top-notch display quality, smooth performance, and feature-rich software, this phone offers incredible value and is a worthy investment. Don’t miss out on this balanced and affordable powerhouse!

Great Phone, but Battery Could Be Better
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.

Good 5G phone
I am writing this review after using this phone for multiple days.Battery back up on 5G is good and can survive a complete normal day .With power saving mode the mobile uses 4G network and battery lasts for two days.Camera both front and rear are awesome.Sound quality is best.There is no slag while switching between screens or apps. All apps run smoothly and phone never hangs.Mobile phone never heats much also while charging.Charging is super fast with 20W charger, you need to buy it separate . I bought charger from samsung .Wireless charging is a bit slow , I used my car wireless charger n it charged slow.Display is best. It comes with gorilla glass so no scratches observed.Connectivity is good.Phone restarts very fast after you choose restart option n doesn’t take time.Samsung Bixby assistant is better n mor3 responsive than Googles Assistant.Overall the Phone is value for money.

Fare Deal, not make much exited after getting premium range phone series S. yes battery drain faste
After two day review ,Phone is good but feel like M series or lesar then A series finish wise, very simple that I like.Pros. :- I am rom Samsung family so everything feel normal , performance is good except battery which is drain fast.Confused little as got Android 14 time of starting of phone so can get 3 OS updade? Ample space in 256 gb and 8gb ram but Android 14 take almost 4.5gb so remaing 2.5 gb sufficient. Camera quality improve but not much as expected from. S series phone.Con:battery draing faster even on no use as I am average user it’s OK for me for whole day.Overall value for money

Must buy, amazing camera
S21 Fe is like mini DSLR. Portrait photography and videography is amazing for it’s 8 MP telephoto lens. It also provides natural colour. Best camera phone under 30k. No phone can beat this s21 fe in camera segment under 40k budget. Performance of this phone with snapdragon 888 processor, I would say very good. It has only one negetive issue- battery drainage, but for normal users it provides 1 and half day battery backup.

You need to hold this phone feel it. The display, the processor, camera are all good. The battery needs a bit of more power else everything else is perfect.

Overall good package
Phone is pretty good and comfortable because of its size not small not large perfect size device according to my opion . All things are great and exceptionally good considering price 25k. Exceptionally its cameras are its key feature of this device. Rest all thing are upto mark except battery backup which is one of the worst I could say my previous handset f62 has appx 2 times battery backup to it that why I m facing much problem IN this because of this I have reduced one star otherwise that best of under 30k segment..

Samsung S21 FE: A Balanced Blend of Performance and Value with Minor Trade-Offs
The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is a perfect blend of style and functionality. It boasts a stunning AMOLED display with vibrant colors and sharp clarity, making everything from streaming to gaming a pleasure. The performance is smooth and responsive, thanks to its powerful processor and ample RAM. The camera setup delivers crisp, high-quality photos and videos, while the sleek design feels premium in hand. With its user-friendly features and dependable battery life, the S21 FE is an excellent choice for those seeking a top-notch smartphone experience.While the Samsung S21 FE excels in many areas, it has a few drawbacks. The battery life, while decent, could be better compared to some competitors. It also lacks wireless charging and has no expandable storage, which might be a limitation for some users.

Value for money
The camera zooming isn’t good, but normally the camera is just amazing. A lot of cool features and a really good processor to play games. Just Charging might be an issue, as the battery drains out real fast but it gets charged up also real fast. I got it for 28k in prime day sales and it is indeed value for money.

Excellent phone at this price
First I will start with 2 review which I read before buying one was battery drain issue and second was overheating issue. I am a normal user who don’t spend all day on phone playing games. So for me I dint see both the issue battery charging once in a day for my usage. Camera quality is very good and multi tasking is also good. Charging takes 1.5hr from 0 to 100 or else if you charge from 20 to 100 around 1hr of charging is required. Display is good with this processor you will nor be able to feel any lag itself rather than buying a Chinese phone around 25k this is the best buy..

Best Mobile Samsung S21FE Lavender
Phone is very good. * Best performance * Super display * Beautiful lavender colour – very good in hand * there are plenty of features in latest UI * Camera is the best feature of this phone – both photo and video*But delivery was very slow. STPL exclusive is the seller, for them I will give only 1 rating. (4/5 is for the phone). It took 7 days, even though I joined the Amazon prime. Very bad experience.

Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G (2023) Review: Lavender Dream with Power-Packed Performance
I recently purchased the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G (2023) in the stunning Lavender color variant, equipped with a Snapdragon 888 processor, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in many ways.Delivery Experience:Firstly, I was pleasantly surprised by the swift delivery process from Amazon. The product arrived even before the expected delivery date, ensuring a tension-free experience.Design and Color:The Lavender color portrayed on the website was precisely what I received. The device’s sleek design and elegant color instantly caught my attention, adding a touch of sophistication to my tech collection.Performance:Powered by the Snapdragon 888 processor, this phone delivers lightning-fast performance. Apps open instantly, multitasking is seamless, and gaming is a joy with no lag whatsoever. The 8GB RAM ensures smooth operation even with multiple apps running simultaneously.Storage:With a spacious 256GB of internal storage, I have ample space to store all my photos, videos, and apps without worrying about running out of space.Value for Money:One of the highlights of my purchase was the significant discount I received, bringing the price down to a very reasonable 33,968.00. Coupled with additional credit card discounts, it was an offer too good to resist.Accessories:While the package did not include a charger or a back cover, it did come with a USB-C to USB-C cable. While this might be considered a disadvantage by some, it’s worth noting that many users already have spare chargers and covers from previous devices. Nevertheless, it would have been a nice addition to include these accessories.Overall, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G (2023) in Lavender is a powerhouse of a smartphone that offers exceptional performance, ample storage, and a stunning design. Despite the minor drawback of missing accessories, the overall experience has been nothing short of excellent. I would highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a top-tier smartphone at a competitive price point.मैंने हाल ही में लैवेंडर रंग के सुंदर वेरिएंट में सैमसंग गैलेक्सी एस21 एफई 5जी (2023) को खरीदा, जिसमें स्नैपड्रैगन 888 प्रोसेसर लगा हुआ है, और मुझे कहना है, यह कई तरीकों में मेरी उम्मीदों को पार कर गया है।डिलीवरी अनुभव:सबसे पहले, अमेज़न से धारा प्रक्रिया के माध्यम से मुझे तेजी से डिलीवरी की प्रक्रिया से प्रसन्नता मिली। उत्पाद ने अपेक्षित डिलीवरी तिथि से पहले ही पहुंच गया, जिससे एक तनावमुक्त अनुभव सुनिश्चित हुआ।डिज़ाइन और रंग:वेबसाइट पर प्रदर्शित लैवेंडर रंग प्राप्त किया गया था। उपकरण का स्लीक डिज़ाइन और शानदार रंग मेरे ध्यान को तुरंत आकर्षित किया, मेरे टेक संग्रह को एक शैली की छूट देते हुए।प्रदर्शन:स्नैपड्रैगन 888 प्रोसेसर द्वारा संचालित, यह फोन तेज़ प्रदर्शन प्रदान करता है। एप्लिकेशन तुरंत खुलते हैं, मल्टीटास्किंग सहज है, और गेमिंग में कोई लैग नहीं है। 8जीबी रैम से भी कई एप्स साथ में चलने पर भी स्मूथ ऑपरेशन सुनिश्चित होता है।संग्रहण:अंतर्निहित स्टोरेज के 256जीबी के साथ, मेरे पास सभी तस्वीरें, वीडियो और एप्लिकेशन स्टोर करने के लिए पर्याप्त जगह है और स्टोरेज की कमी का डर नहीं है।मूल्य के लिए:मेरी खरीद की एक बड़ी छूट के साथ, मूल्य को एक बहुत ही उचित 33,968.00 पर ले आया गया था। अतिरिक्त क्रेडिट कार्ड छूटों के साथ, यह एक बेहद अच्छा प्रस्ताव था।सहायक उपकरण:हालांकि पैकेज में चार्जर या पीछे का कवर शामिल नहीं था, लेकिन यह एक USB-C से USB-C केबल के साथ आया था। यह कुछ लोगों द्वारा एक कमी के रूप में विचार किया जा सकता है, लेकिन ध्यान देने योग्य है कि बहुत से उपयोगकर्ता पहले के उपकरणों से पर्याप्त चार्जर और कवर रखते हैं। फिर भी, यह यह उपकरण शामिल करना अच्छा होता कि ये अतिरिक्त उपकरणों को शामिल करना था।कुल मिलाकर, सैमसंग गैलेक्सी एस21 एफई 5जी (2023) लैवेंडर रंग में एक पावरहाउस स्मार्टफोन है जो उत्कृष्ट प्रदर्शन, व्यापक संग्रहण और शानदार डिज़ाइन प्रदान करता है। छोटे उलझन का नुकसान छोड़कर, कुल अनुभव अत्यंत उत्कृष्ट रहा है। मैं इसे उन सभी लोगों को अधिकतम मूल्य के लिए शीर्ष स्मार्टफोन के लिए सराहना करूँगा जो एक प्रतिस्पर्धी मूल्य स्तर पर शीर्ष स्मार्टफोन की खोज में हैं।
