    I bought this phone for my wife to replace her S8, it was a little bit to get used to with buttons being in different places but she loves it. Just the right amount of Tech to not overwhelm her but keep her curiously satisfied.

    I've had this phone for two years now. I've been happy with it and believe it was a good value. I paid around $400 at the time of purchase and felt it was a good deal. Pros: Screen size, battery life, and performance. Cons: Camera, VZ specific limitations

    I stepped 'down' from a Note 9 to this phone, and I haven't been disappointed. Processor is fast, it handles multiple apps just fine, and the battery life is enough to be using it throughout the day and make it. I personally limit my battery to 85%, and so far I haven't felt like it's lost any. I do 'want' a fancier phone, but this one works plenty well enough for videos, games, calls & texts.

    I bought this phone as an upgrade for my husband's 6-year old Samsung J7. His old phone, while still working, couldn't access some recently upgraded apps. Other than the learning curve of getting used to a new phone - which is totally on my husband, not thr phone - it is a great phone. It has more power, memory, a better camera and is much faster than his old phone.

    Awesome phone! Everything works as it should. It is fast, secure and reliable. Voice calls are clear and the camera is very impressive. I am very pleased with this phone and can definitely recommend it. It also has been upgraded to the latest version of android and receives updates monthly. Good support from Samsung.

    Samsung Galaxy 21 FE is an excellent phone with many features of the newer 22 but at a great price! No complaints and for what I use a phone for, I couldn’t tell the difference between the 21 and the 22. The 21 FE does come with a plastic case, but since I’ll put it into a protective case, I didn’t care. Everything functiones great. No complaints and definitely recommend!

    Coming from a galaxy s9+, this is a definite step up while not feeling too different. Great screen, though the camera hole punch takes some getting used to. Good battery life, snappy processor, good camera quality which a much improved front camera (32mp vs 8mp on the s9+). While the timing of the release is a bit strange with the s22 series around the corner, this is still a decent buy at the price. Feels like a flagship phone while paying a bit less than the full flagship price.

    This was an upgrade from a S9. Great phone for the price. Some people have apparently had trouble with the fingerprint reader, but mine has worked perfectly since setting it up. A great display and fast processor. I am very satisfied with the purchase.

    This is such an awesome phone. The battery life is superb, even with 120hz on, the camera is awesome, the design is nice, and the chip seems to be fast. This phone was absolutely worth waiting for, it's a shame that it came out so late because of the chip shortage. Definitely recommend this phone, just don't buy it a full price. Wait for the sales that are guaranteed to come up.

    New S21

    Great phone for the money. Replaced a a10e. Does everything I wanted. Fast and efficient. I had originally bought an A53, but on handsfree in my Honda it made robotic noise to people getting my calls. The S21 FE has no such issues. The case selection was rather sparse in the store after Christmas, so I got a case online. I liked the phone so much that I bought one for my wife. Only drawbacks are that both phone had 7% or less charge (so transfer of data was impaired) and updates up through 12. Which happened serially.

    Phone has been amazing so far. Coming from a 60hz phone the 120hz display feels buttery smooth. While I'm not sure I'm getting the full 5G speed even so download and upload speeds are much faster than my 4G LTE phone. While I'm not a power user it does seem to get better battery life than my S10e which is surprising as the screen is larger, the higher refresh rate and the faster CPU. Downsides of course being no micro SD and no headphone jack.

    GS7 to GS21 FE

    This is the first phone I have purchased since 2016 when I got my Galaxy G7. I have now had this phone for a little about 24 hours. It took about 1-2 hours to get use to the functionality AND the amount of settings. However it was well worth the time. I deleted everything that I could that came with the phone and then preceded to download the 20+ apps the I used on the G7. (I wanted to do a fresh install). Once completed I easily organized my apps and locked the screen. Everything I tried to do after learning/experimenting for those first few hours was second nature. I am extremely happy with this phone (so far)

    I finally upgraded from a Galaxy 6 to Galaxy S21. Never had a problem with it, just decided it was time to upgrade. I'm so glad I did, and I absolutely love this phone. It was so easy to navigate. The features are convenient, battery life is good and the picture and sound quality are great too.
