Great phone! Came from an S9
I got my S9 after my S4 crapped out after 5 years (screen went off, wasn't even cracked). My S4 & S9 served me very well! I had the S9 for 4+ years it simply is an amazing phone. I was at a crowded place, and someone knocked my elbow while holding it. It fell, and the screen cracked pretty bad (not like one crack, many cracks). Screen still works perfectly, but, I was scared it could stop working at any time. So, I needed a new phone. I looked at the S21 FE and S22. At the time I purchased, the prices were about $200 different (then a week after I purchased, prices were the same!). But, I'm happy with my purchase. I liked small phones in the past, never had a bigger one. I am actually enjoying the larger screen. Better for viewing content. I'm a guy and my pants pockets are plenty large for this phone as well. Feels no different than my previous S9 in my pocket. I've watched a lot of YouTube reviews of the camera / video quality / test pics and footage, and it seems they are almost the same (sometimes I prefer and think the S21 FE image / video looks better, others the S22 looks better - kind of a toss up).So, what have I noticed? Well, battery life is amazing! Beats my S9 by FAR! Now, my S9 was 4+ years old when I had to replace it (now use the S9 as a "camera I'm not worried about losing or breaking"). I had the S9 for a long time, and I cannot remember how good battery life was when I first got it. But, I don't recall it ever getting worse either. What I can say is, I used to have to top my S9 up a bit at least once or twice a day. My S21 FE, lasts ALL DAY (and I even have the battery saver setup so it only charges to 85% - never did that with the S9). And even from 85%, I get a full day no problem! Usually around 35% or so when I am ready for bed. The screen is great. I do leave on 120hz mode all the time. I also have dark mode turned on. I like how it looks, and dark things on screen use less battery than bright white things. But yes, battery is great.Now the cameras. My S9 actually had almost identical video. I make YouTube videos and the S9 did me very well in 4K by 30 or 60. I do notice the S21 FE is ever so slightly better image. It also has better stabilization and just some other processing stuff that helps out. The pictures are better for sure. I've taken pictures of people and shown them, and they've been like, "What phone is that?!? The pictures are sooooo good!" The S9 did well. But, the S21 FE is for sure an improvement. I used to use my G7X Mark ii for most pictures, because it just was better by far than my S9. Now, I don't think I ever really need that camera anymore. This phone produces awesome photos!I haven't had a single issues, no glitches, no nothing. Just a smooth perfectly working phone. I did kind of like the S9 having the fingerprint reader on the back. But, I quickly got used to the in screen reader. It works fast and great. Apps load fast. Camera is on in an instant with a double tap of the power button. Just really nothing to complain about. I would have kept my S9 another few years, but, I am happy with the S21 FE and hope it lasts me 5+ years as well.Great phone, if you are looking into it and deciding if you want to get it, I for sure recommend it.Ver másVer menos
