Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G 128GB (White)

I've been a Samsung Galaxy fanatic since the S2. Had 3 of them, an S4, and then a brand new S7 that lasted me for 6 years. One fateful morning in January, 2022, I awoke to my beloved S7 totally dead and not even a total factory reset could get it boot up. I had all my pics and videos backed up, but unfortunately lost 6 years worth of contacts, most of which were work related and... that was painful, but that was my fault, not the phone.I have a "Bring Your Own Phone" service provider, so I need to buy a phone outright. Went out to Best Buy, laid eyes on the (at the time) Brand Spankin' New Galaxy S21FE. Love at first sight. Bought the last one they had, and it's revolutionized my life.My S7 was no simple machine, it was a sophisticated piece of equipment, ... MoreI've been a Samsung Galaxy fanatic since the S2.

Bought the last one they had, and it's revolutionized my life.My S7 was no simple machine, it was a sophisticated piece of equipment, however, I had ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA how much of a quantum leap wireless devices had made during the 6 years I kept that S7 chugging along (ALWAYS buy the most expensive, heavy duty case you can find).The way this phone seamlessly integrates with my Laptop, my smart TV, that tap-the-credit-card-reader thing to pay when I'm checking out in stores... Samsung Pay I think it's called?I had no idea what I was missing. These services are mind-blowing to me. I didn't even have cloud storage prior to this phone and I am content creator. I can't put into words what Microsoft OneDrive has done for my workflow, and I'd have never found about it if I didn't get this Samsung Galaxy.I love it beyond measure, am a devoted Galaxy customer for life, and the iPhone, while definitely a cool piece of tech, has got NOTHING on what Samsung has done with the Galaxy line. This device is incredible.

Upgrading from the original Google Pixel (first gen), I am ASTOUNDED by Samsung's superiority in the smart phone market. I purchased Samsung's Galaxy S 21 FE 5G (256gb graphite) on sale from Samsung.com for about $150 off, making it an even better deal. As a computer scientists and photographer, I use and appreciate the countless features Samsung phones have very day. Photography wise, I appreciate the options to change the ISO, shutter speed, focus and white balance manually on pro mode. I can also set the camera to save images in RAW format in the camera settings, which drastically helps post-image editing, especially for astrophotography. Using my Samsung camera almost feels like using a professional DSLR or mirrorless camera because of the customizable camera ... MoreUpgrading from the original Google Pixel (first gen), I am ASTOUNDED by Samsung's superiority in the smart phone market.

I can also set the camera to save images in RAW format in the camera settings, which drastically helps post-image editing, especially for astrophotography. Using my Samsung camera almost feels like using a professional DSLR or mirrorless camera because of the customizable camera features and striking quality. I use these features to take incredible pictures of everything from the Milky Way/night sky to portraits of my loved ones and time lapses of the clouds. For such a low price, no other company could possibly beat Samsung's edge on advanced technology and superior features. The under - display fingerprint sensor is lightning quick and very useful, and the overall design is very pleasing. To this day, even after having it for months, everytime I look at at my phone I notice how beautiful of a phone it is; it looks like a meticulously crafted expensive piece of jewelry. Others seem to think so, too, because I get compliments on it's look all the time. I don't understand why anyone would choose not to buy a Samsung phone because they're the best on the market, especially for their price. In fact, just yesterday one of my iPhone using friends' phone died, and when I showed her I could charge it with my phone by just putting their backs together using the power share feature, she was utterly shocked that such "futuristic" and "amazing" technology existed. She even said she wanted to buy a Samsung smartphone just for that feature. Little does she know, although, about the countless other amazing features that she would discover about Samsungs if she did so; features like Dolby Atmos, multi device connectivity in 'media output' settings, the highly customizable and adaptable Samsung keyboard, etc..Overall, the Galaxy S21 FE is an incredible phone that I highly recommend, especially for the price. In fact, I recommend any Samsung s-series or z-sries phone in general because you cant go wrong with them. The numberless unique features that you will continue to discover about your Samsung phone months later is only one of the many experiences Samung users get that its competitors don't. If you're a photographer, Samsung is definitely the best way to go as it has highly versatile camera features that other companies lack. You can never go wrong with a Samsung.All of the attached photos were taken by me on my Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G

In general and specifically, this phone is great and I am very happy I bought it. My past phone was Samsung A11 which experienced a serious issue with the network card. The S21 FE turned out to be very helpful and valuable since it costs almost $1000 after accessories and add-ons. The phone does get hot sometimes with high performance, but cools down in a few minutes. I would strongly recommend this phone to anyone who wants a low scale and value phone. They can also go for any phone in the S21 series which is best! And better than S21 is S22 series due to the software and security features it has. And of course the accessibility and productivity levels have been increased to a different level, more than any Apple phone. If you want better picture quality, just use ... MoreIn general and specifically, this phone is great and I am very happy I bought it.

If you want better picture quality, just use the Remaster picture feature from Gallery and it will do a lot of things to make that picture attractive and ideal to be seen in general. For the past years, my parents have the A70 and A30 series phones and they still work whereas in Apple, it would be a bunch of issues with the motherboard or speaker or something else. Still strongly recommend the Samsung S21 or S22 series phones.
