What do you think about the changes Samsung made this year?

My old Huawei P30 still have better battery life then my new Galaxy S21

Th only thing drawing me to the s21 is how good the trade in value is right now. I know the price of the phone will go down but I hope the trade in value for older samsung phones doesn't degrade as much

It's interesting, that I've bought the Note 2 during it's release week for 300 Bucks while I'd have to pay around 1500 Bucks for the S21 nowadays :D
And yeah I know inflation and "some" more features my comment's just a joke

I disagree about the cameras. I’ve seen comparisons with the s20 and the difference was very noticeable

The Note 9 is $1400 on Samsung's shop. Thats almost double the price it was at release. They know how bad their new phones are.

Best phone today

I've watched so many review videos of this phone and they all seem like duplicates of one another. This is quite disappointing, because I watch different reviewers to get their unique thoughts a views. I recommend that when you're working on a review for a product, don't watch anyone else's review until after you've released yours.

the price also went down because the cost of 5g went down.

I have the iPhone 12 mini, Pixel 5 and now the S21.
Out of the three:
1. S21
2. iPhone 12 mini/Pixel 5 (Tie)
Pixel 5 is a super nice phone, but I use the playback speakers alot and the Pixel 5's in ear speaker on top is just terrible. iPhone 12mini has a really nice setup in comparison, but it has a very weak battery life and doesn't get through the day for me.
The S21 basically solved all of these problems for me.

I never used mst when I had it ;-;

I hate this aspect ratio

My laptop is 1080p. Are people really complaining about this on a phone?

I was thinking to upgrade s21 but since i cant add more sd card, so it will be no to me

Hope the telephoto becomes a real one telephoto hardware a better one not just cropted from 64mp.

Remember when $800 phones were considered flagships?

what brand is your gray mask? where did you get it?

As soon as another manufacturer catches up with Samsung, I'm jumping ship. They're getting so extremely greedy and anti-consumer. The baseline S and Note is just to convince you to upgrade to the ultra. At such a high premium, you get a flagship with specs that DONT BEAT a 2 year old phone. Currently holding onto my note 9 because: I still have a headphone jack, 1440p screen, expandable storage, MST chip. I was looking at one of the ultras, but am overwhelmed by the amount of compromise I have to make to buy either, at 1200-1300$. Ridiculous. I hope samsung seriously notices a backlash from this.

"Samsung had to cut down" on a 800$ phone ...

S21 is a downgrade from last year. Pick up a S20 fan edition from last year at a discount and get more features. Especially SD card support.

I'd prefare an iphone 12 at those money

Definitely happy I chose the s20 fe 5g instead of S21.. Much better phone at lower price

Watching this on the S21 phantom violet. This is my first flagship phone and it feels great.

Samsung should've just released the S21 under the A series or maybe at least something like "S21 mini" similar to what Apple did. Seriously wanted to get the S21 this year but hate the S21 ultra's size to get a "no-compromises" phone. With a display of lower quality than my S9plus , no MST and no expandable storage the S21 is just not a flagship phone, not buying this "upgrade". Poor decision Samsung!

please tell to becca for making video about the iphone 12 pro max va S21 ultra camera test and comparison

800$ is not an expensive phone? Like really? I think most people can only afford something like A series in Samsung rather than a S21 depending on the country.

I traded in my s10e and got the S21, galaxy buds+, one of those like trackers that you put on your keys, a wireless charger, and 4 months of youtube premium for $259

No micro sd card slot? I pass. How much more will it cost Samsung to include the slot while budget phones include them with no huge cost hikes?
It's a great way for consumers to buy the phone with 256gb storage instead of their 128gb model.

Feels like he's rushing through the review. Slow down Dieter!

Apt title.

Vivo v20 pro 10days new phone do you want I sell sun shine colour bill box charger all ok

Ultra is Samsung's Pro
Maybe we'll get a smaller version of the Ultra next year to compete with the Iphone Pro

And what explanatiom do they have for not giving the charger brick in the box?

Compare to S20 FE please? Thanks

As a former Samsung user I've become disenfranchised with there offerings the past 3 to 4 years. Pixels and iPhones are for me right now

Marketed as flagship, in reality an expensive budget phone 😂

buy the s20 FE instead

Lol no charger no buy

$800 plastic phone

This phone is really nice and definitely a big improvement over last year only if you get the s21 Ultra.
But there's many cons: no charger in the box, no headphone jack, no expandle memory/Sd card, qhd only available on the Ultra, main 108mp camera only on ultra.
What is Samsung thinking ? They are becoming more and more like Apple. The main reason I switched to Samsung from Apple many years ago. Guess I'll be upgrading to another brand once my s10+ gets boring lol

it was a -ve review from the very begining.

I desperately need to get rid of my galaxy nope 20. So I pre-ordered the s21 plus. Will arrive tomorrow. If the s21 turns out just as awful as the note,I will finally switch to iPhone.
Last chance samsung!!!

The deal is in the pre order. Get the 200 dollar Samsung gift card

This phone is an overpriced disappointment. It should be $200 - $300 cheaper

It has fhd display. Even galaxy S8 has Qhd display. It's shame

Missing SD card slot,no 3.5 jack,no earphones in Australia they rip you off to buy these,the Ultra 21 starts at 1900aud for 128gb,so buying these accessories will cost you nearly 2,000Aud,if you buy the 256 gb,you will pay 2,000aud,plus the accessories another 200aud,if your not on a plan and buy outright 1,245aud for basis,the plus is 1547aud,the Ultra 21 is 1849aud now all these are 128gb,so add another 100aud for 256gb,its not cheap and on plans well you could at the end of a 2 year plan buy 2 smartphones because if you use a lot and pay extra over your monthly plan you will be dropped off more money,wait for 6 months and the prices will fall.

Glastic is getting some good words, not too bad!

How come so many subscribers but such low view count lol

I really don't know why manufacturers like samsung put tons of money into hardware anymore. They really need to focus on software features and stability. Hardware is pretty much near market saturation levels. My S10+ with the 855 works super fast, even after 2 years.

Would it be a good upgrade to switch from an s9 to this? I bought the s9 at launch and didn't really like it at first coming from iPhone but that oneUI grew on me.

Wish I could have a link to buy the shirts the presenter is wearing. Nice colors/design

i'm still rocking my pixel 2 xl, so everything at this point is up for grabs lol

Well done review.

No micro SD slot it's a very bad thing, don't matter the storage. They are literally copying the iPhone.

Vs Iphone 11 & 12

I made also the chois "like samsung" to save money!
I'll wait till next year.

Is there any phone with oled screen and removable battery?

I feel like its a downgrade since I have the s20. I like the tap and pay and memory slot. Ya it will only be 50 bucks and 100 in credit but not worth it

i just did get the s20 FE a few months ago and there aren’t a lot of new things to justify an upgrade. But that purple color is lovely.

Why do people want a glass back so much? Plastic is a lot more durable and 99% of people I know use a case on the phone so you cannot even see what is under it.

Rocking an S7

The glass at the back of a phone is the most useless thing you can come up with.

Samsung is not just the only choice. Hi Xiaomi! Fortunately I live within Asia :)

When it comes to Android, I only like the Pixel.

Iphone 12 mini size and a samsung s21 ultra specs. That would force me to buy one regardless of the price

If it was Iphone 12 mini size and a samsung s21 ultra specs, that would force me to buy one regardless of the price

If Samsung could make their Exynos chip better, like as good as snapdragon, they can bring down the price of the phone! But I guess this will take an other year or 2...

Disappointing offering from samsung.

5:08- what’s up with phone on oranges , lol

S22 and S21+ are made to be failure. Their sole purpose are to drive ppl to buy S21Ultra, the same as Note20, or to make the future S21FE look good by comparison.

The S21 being $800, does it mean that the S21 FE is just non-existent or is it going to be even lower priced? Like, how about $549 or $600?

Please tell with phone should I buy s20 plus or s21??

Not everybody wants a big phone I wouldn’t mind the S 21+ so from the sounds of it the better camera is on the ultra well I don’t want the ultra because it’s too big of a phone just like my iPhone 12 pro max with AT&T

So... you're saying that 800+ is what you consider the "inexpensive phone"? It might be a third less than the ultra high end, but that alone does not make it inexpensive. It being inexpensive would make it, you know, inexpensive.

Are you sure about 4k60 fps on all lenses?

Man i love you dieter but this review is boring as hell

Its an overall great phone with better cameras at an even price! Can't complain much!

But what if you want the best phone but in a smaller form factor?

Nice..its helpful for me..👍

Adware in apps is pretty woof

8:44
that is a beautiful shot

I'd like to start a movement calling the Exynos based S21 the S20.5 being its not as capable as the snapdragon phone.

No SD card, no sale

Damn this phone is the best phone I have ever seen the design is so eye catching and the colours !! The specs the quality and I don't get why people are complaining about the things that they don't care much otherwise this phone is far better than getting an APPLE obviously the new power is on another level...... I am getting this for sure

The S21 is just an S20 in disguise with less features,no charger in the box,lover resolution screen and a plastic back

iPhones are better

Why the hell they are not doing anything innovative with the cameras..🙄

I would beg to differ when it comes to camera. The s21 is equal or better in some ways then the iPhone 12 not the max.

I think the S21 is a great looking phone. However now that I have a Pixel 4a, I'll trade processor for battery life. Hopefully Samsung A series gets some of the S21 design.

the s21 easily keeps up with the iPhone 12 that's bs

Galaxy S21 is the best choice

At least you could've taken off your Apple Watch while doing this review.

Why am I watching this, I already bought the ultra lol 😅

Fair to assume there is no S21 FE this year
Will be interesting if Samsung offers the S20 with just the new process and rest same specs at that higher price point. Would that sell more than this new S21 ?

Biggest mistake was taken away SD card support and stopped my long awaited upgrade. How can I pay a premium price for a phone which got smaller total memory than my current phone?!

Please ask the verge to no longer use the default English subtitles in the United States version🙏

I thought the ad on Samsung apps is only on A-series

At around 7:06 you said that the S21 can't keep up with the Ultra or the iphone 12, but showed an iphone 12 pro. Did you mean to say Pro or the whole iphone 12 line?

Samsung S21 👍
S21 plus😭😭
S21 Ultra 😱😱😱😱

I don’t even care about Android phones, I just like how DB tells stories. Do more non-phone stuff!
