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.

Vibrant display; Lots of processing power; Slender design;

Far too expensive; Takes a long time to charge; Unimpressive battery life

as expected, Samsung delivers a great product. Good looking and looking forward to a good few years reliable service

Nice product. But phone is heating

Been a great choice so far

I moved away from Samsung phones a couple of years ago due to many reasons like hard bundled apps (non-removeable) and lack of privacy controls. I have to say that Samsung has 100% redeemed themselves with their new range. Performace is great. I have been running this phone for 3 weeks and cannot fault it. Great battery life, great Camera and superfast charging. I use my device quite regularly each day and normally end up at 40 to 50% battery remaining at the end of the day. Charging takes an average of 30mins to full charge. The only downside is no headphone port or sd card slot but I don't need either of these so it gets 5 stars from me....view more

great phone fast and not too big for me..

Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is a great upper-mid-range phone

The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is the most affordable phone in the S21 series - its specs and features have been streamlined to keep the cost down. While it may not be as good value as we'd have hoped for it's still a very capable piece of kit with a decent camera, powerful processing and a long-lasting...

6.4-inch FHD+ 120Hz display, Premium chipset and specs, Decent camera system

No charger in the box, Slow charging, Still quite expensive

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.

A very complete package, Bright, colourful screen, An IP rating and Qi charging

Overpriced compared to the competition, Camera not as good as Pixel 6, Average battery life and charging speeds
