Very nice upgrade
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Nice upgrade from my Mi9! The biggest surprise was AT&T cellular download speed doubled from 50 mps to over 100 mps over the same 4G lte (not 5G!) network. I hadn't had a Samsung phone in a few years. Very impressed with tight integration with my Windows computers. Finally... I liked the phone so much that I bought a Samsung Galaxy watch to go with it!

Great Phone With One Glaring Exception

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Lighting fast, feels great in your hand. I have the 256gb model which I highly recommend which brings us to my only real complaint - you can't add additional storage (memory cards). Please, Samsung don't follow Apples path of proprietary products!

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I've been really enjoying my new Galaxy S21+. It is fast and depending on usage, lasts almost 2 days. Best Buy did a great job getting all of my data moved, with a few exceptions. And they walked me thru the entire process, including purchase, change of my AT&T data plan because of the 5G phone.

Upgraded from an S9+
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5The hardware is solid and the phone functions well. The absence of a headphone jack is disappointing, but seems to be the trend. I miss the capability to use a micro SD card to extend the phones memory, but really, 256gb internal memory will probably be more than I need.
