Excellent performance from my Samsung Galaxy S21+! The camera on it is our family's "go to" for the clearest and sharpest photo moments.

Love it no problems at all. Camera works perfectly.

Great phone, long battery, fantastic camera, beautiful screen. Only cons: no headphone jack nor expandablememory. Samsung did not need to follow in Apple's footsteps.

This was an upgrade from my S7 and yes that S7 lasted me 4+ years! And yes, my old phone still works, but the camera, for some weird reason, stopped working so I decided to purchase a new phone. I do like Samsung phones, never had a problem with them, their cameras are superb. The S21 so far, has been easy to use, slightly longer screen but not bulky. It's a great phone. Because i upgraded from an older phone, i had to separately buy charging cords which are completely different from my old S7. I highly recommend the S21 5G, it's a nice, efficient phone.

No problems with this phone. Holds charge well, displays well. Overall very happy with this purchase.

I got this phone for my wife because her other android device was giving up on her. She is not into apple so I got her this Samsung and she LOVES IT. I mean the camera and the 128 GB memory? like why not? The phone is fast, the screen is great and battery life is awesome. Again it depends on usage but she can't get enough of it.

So far I love this phone. It is light weight, the pictures are very clear. My only problem is not have an SD memory card, but as long as I can copy my pictures over to my computer I am happy. I am not into gaming so this is the reason I purchased the less expensive model.

I've had the S21 for about a week...enough time to form some opinions after upgrading from my S7. It's a screamer. Apps run so much faster, it's incredible. I'm not sure whether it's the 8GB of memory or the chipset, but it's noticeable. The camera is awesome. The display is impressive as is the color depth. Battery life is fine for my use. On the downside, I miss the LED indicator horribly for unacknowledged alerts, the heart monitor, the headset jack, the absence of a card slot and the fact that GPS altitude is for some reason not recorded in the exif data on my photos. The edges of the phone are slick, and you'll definitely want a TPU sleeve to reduce the risk of dropping it. Nonetheless, I'd buy this phone again in a minute, and highly recommend it. Samsung has done a good job with the S21.

This was an upgrade from my Galaxy S9. I was hesitant to do the upgrade because the S9 had good specs, like more pixels per inch than the S21 and a Gorilla Glass back versus plastic on the S21. But having made the switch it's a real improvement all around. When using a case the back material is irrelevant, and regardless what the tech specs say on paper the S21 display overalljust seems better. One feature I used a lot on the S9 was the rear fingerprint sensor. The on-screen sensor on the S21 is better though. The phone looks better in person than in photos, it's not as quirky looking as I thought it might with the 3 lenses on back.

I purchased this phone to replace 3 year old LG v30 that was starting to act weird, was losing battery life, and had dated cameras. That said, really the two thing better about this phone is its cameras and faster processor. The battery life only a little better despite its larger battery pack. I used to go 2 solid days on a charge on my V30 with normal use. I find myself leaving power saver on most of the time and with light use could make two days. Pretty disappointing when the v30 would go 4 or more days with light use when new. Then there's the software. So much Samsung bloatware, much of which can't be disabled or easily removed. Going through the apps and looking at battery usage, it appears these are eating about 20% of my charge for apps I don't use, nor want. If it wasn't for the incredible trade in value that I received for my old phone (which I had to spend a few hours on the phone with Verizon to actually get applied), I would have returned this phone.

Very pleased with the S21 5G! Would rate 4.5 stars if that was an option. Size is very good for me, Camera is amazing. Would rate 5 stars but optical recognition isn't as effective as I anticipated. 5g is worth the upgrade if you live in a 5g wide band area.

great phone all around from sound, pictures & features easy to use and relatively small

Its got all the features i needed. It keeps its charge very well. I like the size and the brilliant screen. I would have liked it a little less in price.

I was looking for a Samsung phone (my previous phone was S6 Edge) that's not too big. I don't like these newer phones that rival notepads for size. I like the shape, design and features of this phone. The cameras are great! Have run into some issues few weeks ago. The phone would just restart frequently, sometime while I was in the middle of working on it. I think this was a software issue which seem to be gone now. It was really annoying for a couple of weeks though. The battery life is great on this phone, typical of Samsung phones I believe. Overall, happy with this purchase.

I upgraded from Note 9. The Note 9 is the best phone ever made but it wasnt holding charge after havung it almost 4 years. The last update did it in. I bought the S21. At first i wasnt happy becaue the battery barely lasted a day with moderate use and there was heating issues. However, after the first update and the phone getting used to my use there is no longer a heating problem and i end the day with 50% battery left with moderate use. The audio is great. It's loud. The bottom speaker is louder than the top. The camera is great but Samsung's camera always had softness to it that i was never crazy about. I can't speak to gaming as i dont game. I do wish Samsung would include a charger. They include the cable but not a charger. No expandable storage. I dont like 5G. Verizon doesn't give an option to disable 5G but you can download a Band app that can disable it. The staff at Best Buy in Hartsdale are the best. They go above and beyond. Nice group of people.

Love my new Galaxy S21. It has a great camera and is easy to use. I was able to transfer everything from my old Galaxy Note 5 to it and I have 128 GB of memory versus 32 GB. It also transfer all my old photos and all the apps and contacts. There are new features, but not hard to figure out. Battery life also last more than 24 hours. The camera is fantastic and can do much much more with it. It did not matter on the color of the phone as I was able to get a shatterproof case that I like and glass protected screen to fit perfectly .

So far this phone appears to be a nice upgrade fom my Galaxy S9. It's faster, takes nicer pictures, and has far more features than my S9. I'm very pleased with it's performance.

Had to replace my S6 so this S21 looked like a good option. As could be expected, there are dozens of steps required to replace all the missing contacts, etc from my S6. S6 took a swim which essentially destroyed the phone and of course, nothing was backed up. S21 might be a tad larger than the S6 but not enough to make a difference. Camera looks to be excellent, volume and reception on the phone is equally good. Everything else is still in the process of being re-generated.

Traded in my S9 which was a great phone for the S21. Awesome display quality and easy to use. Best Buy phone team was efficient, patient, transferred my data and apps and answered my questions. I bought the new charger though my old one was ok, glad I did as it is much faster. Unfortunately the new cord does not fit in my car for charging, so I use my old cord. Took me a few days to get used tapping the screen and not having a "button" to use, actually like it better. Good value.
