great phone, check the pics i took with it below
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.definitely a great phone with a great battery! the 30x zoom is nice for shots of the moon or maybe some star shots although i personally don't do that. the whole UI is normal and easy to use as to be expected and the build quality of the device is great. it's definitely worth it if you need to upgrade and the 120hz is definitely pleasing to my eyes.

Upgrade to the Galaxy S21 5G
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Sales Rep was outstanding and she really knew everything I needed to know about the new Galaxy S21 5G Phone. She allowed a discount for my Galaxy S20 Phone that I was able to turn in. The Galaxy S21 5G is a far superior phone to the Galaxy S20. Samsung made a lot of improvements for the S21 and having 5G makes a big difference. Also battery life is longer than the S20 and much faster for charging.

Galaxy S21 5G
||Posted .Owned for 4 months when reviewed.Overall pleased. Not a big fan of Iphones so when it comes to Androids I only buy Galaxy's or Pixels. Iike the way Samsung had camera updates allowing to delete things in the background of a photo, just like the Pixel 6 comes capable of doing.

Asked by Anonymous.
This question was asked about the related product: Samsung - Galaxy S21 5G 128GB (Unlocked) - Phantom Violet
- A:Answer It's brand new and unlocked. I bought it from Best Buy to hook up on my Tmobile service. All I had to do was put my Sim card from my old phone into this S21. If you need any help just ask the Best Buy team members. I asked them every question twice to be sure I would be able to use it with my Tmobile service.
