    I have owned this 21 fe for a little over 30 days now. The phone has been excellent. It's essentially a flagship phone at a more affordable price. Battery life is great as it learns your patterns. I am getting 5-6 hours of SOT and it's getting me through the day with some juice to spare. Beautiful screen, great for consuming content, 120hz, processor feels snappy even while gaming or multitasking. I never have issues with the fingerprint sensor or the phone heating up. Calls come in clear. I think the cameras are great, it's not the latest camera tech but if you want that then you have to go for the newest samsung series and pay a bit more but this phone gets the job done. All in all, for the price and especially at a discount, you can't beat it! Highly recommend this phone.

    Works for me so far! I do not need the most advanced technology of the year. I want take clear photos & videos suitable to enlarge to 10x12, ability to zoom in a bit, stream news and clips, keep track of sports games, send/receive text with photos, use the web for all manner of things, use ZOOM for meetings. I also want a lot of storage to keep photos & videos. This phone does all this very well and very fast. Battery lasts two days between charges for me. Sale price made it a "best buy" for me.

    Very good phone so far. A bit complex but works well so far. I don't think I'd give any new phone five starts. Things that could be better: All new phones are quite expensive. This phone could use a memory expansion slot even though this unit had double the memory of the standard S21 FE. Most new phones like this one have a single USB C port on them No 3.5 audio jack or any other connectors so you have to go wireless for earbuds or other accessories if you want to do anything while charging. No charging brick in the box so that's another expense.

    I like the phone. Nice size, good battery life, lots of storage. 3 camera lenses are a good addition. All in all, I would buy it again in the same set of circumstances. I replaced a Galaxy S7 which was running out of space.

    Upgraded from the Mote 8 so this phone was quite the upgrade. Was deciding between this and the S22. Decided to save money and I'm happy with the purchase.

    Very happy with the phone. The decision was between this and the S22 model which had better camera stats, but not worth the extra money.

    So far, I love this mobile phone. I waited too long to replace my first smartphone (nine years) and could not be happier with my choice. I am happy I chose another Samsung smartphone and kept Verizon as my service provider. I am learning all the upgraded features of the phone as I go along. I have additional storage space (256GB), so I can add some of the apps I couldn't with a phone that had 16GB storage. All in all, I am happy with my purchase.
