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

At the end of the day, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is a phone caught up in the whirlwinds of transformation happening in the smartphone industry. Samsung has allegedly had this phone on the backburner for months, wondering whether it should release it or not, and when it finally has released it, it...

The S21 FE is a phone out of time. It’s a pretty great, well-rounded hardware package and I doubt many people would come away disappointed, but it's launched six months too late.

Takes Awesome Photos & let's me know if I have Spam messages has many other good features as well

nice case and presentation. Big screen available with large fonts. Very difficult for seniors to set up (at least this one!), but good videos on YouTube to help. Price Ok, free ear buds helped.

Product was on sale 7 days later with free earpods dissapointed to miss out.

Love the selfie picture quality amazing phone

Powerful specifications, Solid cameras, Impressive 120Hz display, Priced well for a flagship

Touchscreen issues, Battery just OK, Too much competition at its price point
