    I'm not sure if this one is a dud or not but the battery really doesn't last as long as I expected. It says a certain amount of hours (like 14) but is dead in 4 or 5. It takes forever to charge and comes with a stupid charging cord that requires a USB-C on both sides but not the box. I'm not big on spending a ton on phones but still make them work for years and this is the most expensive phone I've ever had so I really wish right out of the box I wasn't disappointed. I didn't realize I was getting the Galaxy s21 FE, didn't realize that was a thing until I ordered the wrong size case. Pictures are a disappointment and take way too much space. I do like that it's smaller and close to the size of my S9 so I'm not trying to stick a tablet in my pocket.

    This is an upgrade from my S8. World of difference. As always Samsung has a superior product. There is a learning curve with this device. Well worth it. So far I would recommend this device to anyone!

    This phone is everything I wanted at a reasonable price. Also the set up being in Best Buy was so convenient. The tech experts were able to transfer all my data and contacts. One stop shopping at it best!

    I needed to replace my S8 Samsung phone. I was thinking about an Apple phone but while talking with the store agent I felt that this phone would do just fine. So far so good, the phone works great.

    A good upgrade from S9. Good battery life and a great camera. The only complaints is the screen shot function is different and to turn it off is not a one button function.

    Phone works well. We had to set it up ourselves. Otherwise they were going to charge $40 and that was not disclosed on line when we purchased it. Otherwise phone is great.

    When my old phone note 9 suddenly stopped working, even tried replacing the battery but to no avail. I decided to get this as replacement. The performance is mediocre. Even with enhanced processing turned on, apps like twitter, youtube and Instagram. It still freeze and crashes. The ram and storage is plenty so shouldnt be the cause. Perhaps in due time, software updates might fix itself we'll see. Compared to my old note 9 phone it still surpass this.

    I upgraded from an S4 so I can't really complain. The only downside is that I have to charge it about once a day. So far, so good!

    Nice phone, always a learning curve. Do like extra sensitivity to screen. Very similar to older model S9, haven't seen a great deal of change.
