I used my Verizon promo to upgrade my phone. Now I have a pile and so many regrets. This is the worst and most expensive phone I've ever had. No screen protector works with fingerprint on the screen instead of the side function unlock that was WAY better tech. Apps glitch out and freeze. Apps don't auto update even with the settings properly adjusted. Auto rotate is always on and never locks in portrait whether turned on or off. The keyboard just stops functioning frequently and requires a full reboot even with shutting it down regularly. This thing gets waaaaaay too hot. The camera is awesome when it works but so many times the photos come out awful idk why but consistency is terrible. So many flaws that I was fine with until yall decided to release that "update" ... MoreI used my Verizon promo to upgrade my phone. Now I have a pile and so many regrets.

How about just give us all our money back because you know you released a less than half--efforted faulty product. I'd rather have my 3 year old S10e back--it actually functioned like a phone. I see yall not producing more to sell, clearly a testament to how terrible this product is. Now I just have this pile and I'll be waiting til my 2 years for the next free upgrade to get a phone that works half decent. Do not buy this product. Makes me want to ditch Samsung altogether and move on to Moto.

I've only used the phone for a short time, but I like what I've seen. With using any new piece of technology, it's going to take a while to discover its true power, but so far it has been fairly intuitive. I was operating a BlackBerry Android 6 phone, so I have some catching up to do. The phone and its condition were as described. There was minimal wear and difficult to spot. It was like new. It came with a charger, but no manual. The manual is available for download from Samsung. It was unlocked, which was what was needed because I was switching carriers. I had no problems with the new sim card or data transfer. This phone feels well made. I like its form factor -- it's easy to handle and easily fits in a front pocket. Screen images are sharp. There was quite a bit ... MoreI've only used the phone for a short time, but I like what I've seen.

If I deem them useful, they will stay, otherwise they will join their bloatware cousins. The battery life (so far) seems excellent. The cable that came with the phone will only do a slow charge. Since I charge my phone overnight, this was not an issue. I use my phone for talk, texts, and email and it now sits at 67% two days after being charged. I don't run a lot of apps, play games, or watchvideos, so your battery mileage may vary. I haven't used the camera, but friends with this phone tell me it is excellent. Bottom line, I like this phone and liked paying less for a refurbished model.

I was "encouraged" to upgrade my fading S7 for a new S21 5G recently. My trusty S7 was "inherited" from my late husband and it has performed faultlessly for 3 years until recently. So, with new phone in hand, I set about reinstalling all the things that didn't upload from the old phone - Memos being one of them, my QR Code app and Xero authenticator. I then checked out the ring tones and notifications etc. and set them to the nearest approximation of my old phone's. I then noticed that the little indicator lights at the top of the screen have disappeared so I don't know I have a message until I switch it on by the most annoying process yet invented - the "double-tap" or stupid button on the side which is no good for a left-hander! Neither can I make it vibrate as I ... MoreI was "encouraged" to upgrade my fading S7 for a new S21 5G recently.

I have had to buy a new charger because the cable ends have changed, a set of Bluetooth earbuds because it no longer has a cabled ear plug port and best yet!???? ......

While the price was great there was a major hurdle that came with it. These phones are carrier unlocked not factory unlocked. My phone came with Verizon firmware on board which was bothersome since I wished to use it on t-mobile. This meant I was missing some of the carrier codes the access all of the t-mobile spectrum. Factory unlocked phones carry universal codes for all of the USA and then your phone applies carrier codes based off your Sim (this phone was not factory unlocked) If your savvy enough you can load the carrier firmware of your choice by using Frija to download the carrier firmware then using odin3 modded edition to install. There are good videos online explaining the process. This all being said the phone was in awesome shape on arrival.

Dealing with Gizmodo was THE WORST phone buying experience I have EVER had. They sent me a phone that was definitely used, with plenty of scratches and scrapes and 2 GB of data that wasn't even deleted from the phone, while in the description, it was described as "10/10 unused condition". Nice Joke!They offered to replace it with a phone as per the original description, so I shipped it back. One week later, they respond back saying that the phone i ACTUALLY paid for was not available and they would send me a different colour/ configuration. Seems like someone at the company was having great fun with my order! Why even offer to return and replace the device if they haven't even checked their inventory?While all of this fiddling around was going on, I was without ... MoreDealing with Gizmodo was THE WORST phone buying experience I have EVER had.

I've used LG phones for years and enjoyed a lot of the features that were (for quite some time) exclusive to that brand. The "knock to open/close" became second nature and made it difficult to use my iPhone that I have for work. Now, since LG decided to get out of the phone market, I was forced to go to another brand...I have no idea how Samsung convinced so many people they were the best brand available. They have WAY less customizability without the need for sketchy third party apps and tools. I feel like I'm using a locked down Apple product that is wearing an Android mask. Also, why the hell would you make the second button NOT the power button? What kind of sociopath does that and thinks it's OK? Even Apple got that one right. Thank christ that can be ... MoreI've used LG phones for years and enjoyed a lot of the features that were (for quite some time) exclusive to that brand.

Also, why the hell would you make the second button NOT the power button? What kind of sociopath does that and thinks it's OK? Even Apple got that one right. Thank christ that can be changed... Sure, this thing is quick, but all new gen phones are. Saying it has the "fastest" and "newest" whatever is like claiming your new car is great because it has wheels. More importantly, who cares how fast it is if a third of my inputs on the touch screen aren't registered? I've never used a phone that didn't recognize the number of clicks as this thing. There are times where I feel like I'm using a 1980s touch screen ATM, where pushing on the screen harder does actually help with responsiveness. I've also never had more trouble with the fingerprint scanner. Yea, putting it "in the screen" is cute and all, but at least make sure the damn thing works. Without exaggeration, it's about 50/50 on whether or not it will take any finger I have registered. That is atrocious... found another garbage feature while editing this review: when using the cursor to get to a specific spot in text, the keyboard becomes inactive, causing you to need to tap back into the text box, leading to miss clicks, making you need the cursor.... it took me 2 minutes to fix an autocorrect...I'm really sad to see LG get out of the phone business, and I'll do my best to adjust, but until then, I maintain that Samsung made inferior products.
I know for a fact that I am not the only person who has had this issue. I've encountered other S21 owners who have also had this issue.You'll be right in the middle of doing something that requires mobile data, and then your internet connection just disappears. I've installed apps that show me my constant up and down speeds, and when this happens they both go to zero. It's almost like whatever systems the phone uses for internet data gets overwhelmed and just shuts down. You lose mobile data, switch to a Wi-Fi network and get back online, but then eventually that gets to the point where it's not transmitting, turn it off, have no signal, and then after restart the phone.T-Mobile is nearly impossible to try to get a warranty replacement for an intermittent issue ... MoreI know for a fact that I am not the only person who has had this issue.

My Samsung S9+ stopped working properly so I purchased the S21 Ultra as a replacement and since it's another Samsung it's familiar. Samsung displays are some of the best. Speakers are pretty good. Battery life is good, but not outstanding. I haven't used the cameras extensively yet, but they should be an improvement over my old S9+. I saved myself some bucks by buying an S21 since it's not the current generation. Overall I'm happy with the phone. I don't give it 5 stars though because like so many other phone manufacturers they took away the expandable storage and charge high prices for more internal memory. Let's me honest, internal memory isn't that expensive. I also don't care for the lack of 3.5 jack these days which is why I was hanging on to my S9+.
Only got a year in a half out of this phone. I have had so many battery and interface issues despite following guides online. My phone is up to date with its security updates and everything else but still acting like a brick. When I first got it there were slight bugs, nothing I couldn't deal with considering the model was only a couple months old at the time of purchase. The reason I bought this phone in the first place was to try out Samsung (originally an iPhone user.) I was very impressed with the app speeds, battery life and camera quality but now most of my apps take forever to load, randomly freeze, or I press it and it doesn't open up. Battery life has tanked on me as well. Now, I am stuck with an overheating phone that doesn't turn on for hours and freezes ... MoreOnly got a year in a half out of this phone.

Suspecting that it's probably a memory leak but I really don't have the patience to toy around with this phone any longer. I am saddened because I wish I could write a good review, I paid lots of money for this phone but shame on Samsung, gave me a terrible first impression with their phones. Looks like I'm going back to Apple. Save yourself the extra $$ and stay away from this model. I wouldn't doubt if the S22 develops similar issues too.
I got this phone as a gift last Christmas and I couldn't have asked for a better gift. I've always been a devoted Apple user and never thought to ever get a Samsung phone. However, after seeing an ad for the Samsung Galaxy S21, I could not get my eyes off of the design and the amazing colors! After I got my Phantom Violet S21+, I thought I'd take a long time to get used to it, but that is not the case at all! From the getgo, I was so excited and got used to the system fast. I grew to love the customizability and features this phone provided. Not only that, but I love the camera quality—it can zoom in so clear and so far. Further, I can't get enough of the design and how fast this phone is, as well as the battery-life (seriously the battery-life is so good.)

I've even convinced many of my friends—who are die-hard Apple users—to liking this phone, and most of them plan to get one this Christmas for themselves! It's just so in tune with how you want it to look and operate, something I couldn't do on any of my old phones. Overall, I love this phone and don't plan on upgrading anytime soon, it's just great. If I do end up upgrading, I'll definitely have Samsung as my top choice, because after switching over?... I seriously can't look back.
