The larger screen size also receives positive feedback. However, the lack of a headphone jack is a recurring point of concern for some users.

    The Best Buy employee, I believe his name was Dylan(?) was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful in ordering the phone and setting up the phone with Verizon when I went to pick up the phone. He made the process painless and actually a pleasure. I love the new phone. It is so fast and I I have had a Samsung phone for years so I do like the familiarity. The camera is better than my old 8 and the fingerprint recognition is better than the 8 also. Although it is not perfect, sometimes it takes several tries to read my fingerprint. I did register 2 fingerprints. The battery life is excellent. I don't like that the auto rotation feature is back. I liked the 8 where I had to tap the rotation symbol on the face of the phone. I also like all the new features on the new Samsung Active watch. The battery life is great and I like that the watch band is changeable.

    A big update from my Galaxy S8, also cheaper than the S20. Phone is very fast. 5g when connected is also very fast. Takes great pictures.

    Great quality phone. My first Samsung was a S8+ and I really liked it, but the 21+ is really impressive. It has 5g and cant wait till my area has it. The prcessor speed from 60 to 120 is better. The only thing I miss from the 8+ is being able to use a micro sd card. The 21 series dont have it. Its really not a big deal. One thing I really like is as you are looking at your screen it won't time out. Keeps you from tapping back on. I recommend the Samsung 21+.

    I wanted the 256 GB storage so that I don't have to worry about pictures or videos that I take. A nice seamless upgrade for my old Samsung S7 with lots of storage and so much faster. There are lots of other small changes/upgrades but the interface is nearly identical. Got a great price with $300 off just shortly before the release of the S22.

    The phone is definitely an upgrade from my S8+. I'm glad I got it on sale though, because I do not think it is worth paying the extra $300 I saved on it. I am still having some difficulties getting it to activate some of my apps and email accounts. But overall, it is much faster than my S8+.

    This was a gift to upgrade from a Galaxy S20+5G. The phones are basically identical, but the S21+G moves just a smidge faster. Love the upgrade.
