I've had it for 2 months and it's really impressive in every way. The screen, photo and video quality, speed (thanks to the Snapdragon 888 processor) is faster and more reliable than the Exynos in the other S21 Ultra and Plus models. I'm very happy with my choice of 8GB/256. As for the battery, with Bixby Routines and customizing the phone to your habits, it lasts much longer. The Galaxy Buds 2 that came as a gift weren't to my liking, but my Xiaomi Redmi Buds 3 Pro are much better. The photos were taken with a little lighting at home and at work... at work, I used one of the filters and the camera is truly amazing. I compared it to my daughter's iPhone 13 and it lost in photo quality, but was the same in video. I definitely recommend it, it's a gem with a great screen.

Classic Samsung.

[-] Battery life is terrible. With two hours of conservative use (power saving mode, mobile data disabled, removed bloatware), it only reached 60%. Huawei and OnePlus with superior and therefore more power-hungry specs can last almost twice as long with almost double the usage.
[-] Overheating (in power saving mode) during calls, taking photos/videos, navigating with maps, and even charging (whether slow or fast). Those who play games with the processor at full power should have a fire extinguisher on hand.
[-] Video recording is limited to only 60fps, whether in UHD quality (somewhat acceptable) or FHD quality (completely unreasonable in 2022).
[-] It can only store up to 3 fingerprints.
[-] Fingerprint recognition (using an optical sensor instead of an ultrasonic sensor) has an unbelievable delay of almost 2 seconds and only works if the fingers are placed exactly where they should be.
[-] The advertised optical zoom is actually hybrid, meaning it's a combination of optical and digital.
[-] It doesn't have an infrared blaster for controlling devices via infrared.
[-] The package doesn't include a charger, HDMI adapter, headphone adapter, protective case, or even a factory screen protector, despite being released at an initial price of around 900 euros.
[-] Certain phone functions (such as Smart Call) are locked by Samsung in European versions and can only be activated by changing the firmware, risking the warranty.
[-] The Secure Folder (which supports encryption/locking of files and apps with a different pin) would be a positive feature, but it doesn't allow the use of NFC (although it allows the use of the camera, which means it's technically possible to communicate with sensors and Samsung simply got lazy in incorporating them all), so you can't lock banking apps or Google Pay there to protect contactless payments (in case a thief forces you to unlock your phone).
[-] SAR EU: 0.95 W/kg (head), 1.48 W/kg (body).

[+] Snapdragon 888.
[+] 8 GB RAM.
[+] Android 12 (out of the box).
[+] Supports Samsung DeX mode.
[+] Flawless implementation of Dual Messenger functionality that supports, among others: Facebook, Messenger, Skype, Snapchat, Telegram, Viber, WeChat, and WhatsApp.

[!] It's only worth it if you find it for a price close to 450 euros and with the Buds 2 as a gift.
[!] The phone on which the tests were conducted was purchased from a well-known Greek chain (i.e., not a parallel import) and has CSC: EUX (meaning it runs firmware intended for countries within the EEA).

  Very good choice for its price. The downside is that it heats up very easily. If you play a slightly heavier game, your fingers will burn

  Beautiful screen, fast at 120hz, good cameras, oneui from samsung which I love, with Bixby routines, updates even today every month and very fast, I have it for three years now every day in a case and it has no marks despite the falls it has taken. Few scratches on the screen only from the keys in the bag. Snapdragon 888 and not some exynos crap. The downside is the battery life with only 3 to 3.5 hours of on-screen time with youtube full resolution. You definitely need a power bank! Give up to 400 euros and it's worth it.

  I have had the phone for about a month and the only downside I have noticed is the battery. I highly recommend it if you get it somewhere around 500 euros! (I have the version with 256 GB)

  This review is about capacity: 256 GB, ram: 8 GB, colour: Gray

  It never froze in the 1 year of operation, the screen is beautiful and the construction is also quite good...
  The camera takes nice photos with beautiful settings.
  Frequent updates from Samsung...
  BUT
  The battery exhausted me a lot... with 4G and 60 hertz, it now needs to be charged twice a day without any particular games but internet and calls... the charger (25 watts) is not included in the package... and also, I don't know if it happens to others, when I speak in a relatively quiet place, EVERYONE can hear my conversation partner, regardless of whether I have lowered the volume...

  This review is about the colour: Purple

  I am a owner 5 months I waited a little to use it until I have an opinion, everything is pretty good so far of course for its price it doesn't have something that a phone with less money doesn't have. The only disadvantage for me is one of the most important ones, the battery doesn't last long, unfortunately I will rarely charge it once a day, usually it needs at least two. A little use of social media causes it to drain rapidly.
  Another side loss that I want to investigate further is that the palm recognition doesn't work and I don't know what I'm doing wrong or if the phone doesn't receive the command.

  This review is about capacity: 256 GB, ram: 8 GB, colour: Gray

  Owner of the 8/256 with a snapdragon processor for over a year now, this phone is flawless and on par with Samsung's other flagship models because it is also a flagship model. All features are top-notch, and I won't mention them one by one as you already know them. It is lightweight, which is essential for a mobile phone, and also the ideal size for a smartphone. The battery lasts the whole day with moderate use, but nowadays, all mobile phones need to be charged every night, even if you have 30%-40% battery left. You can't trust it for the next day, so whether you like it or not, you'll have to charge it, so it doesn't matter in the end.

  This review is about capacity: 256 GB, ram: 8 GB, colour: Green

  I am the owner of the (8GB/256GB) mobile phone since August 2022, so I can have a complete opinion. Initially, the screen is flagship-worthy in brightness and colors. The speakers are very satisfactory. The rear cameras are excellent in good lighting conditions. In a blind test we did with friends with iPhone 13 Pro, the differences were minimal. In low light, the main camera stands out from the wide and telephoto, taking better photos, without meaning that the others do not have good results. The selfie camera is good in good lighting conditions, but lags behind in low light mainly in clarity as the photos look somewhat blurry. The video is quite good for an Android device. The battery was not satisfactory at first. With intense use, it ended quickly. However, it improves in about a month where the software learns your usage pattern and closes applications that you do not use. Now with all the latest upgrades, 120 Hz refresh rate, open Bluetooth due to smartwatch, wifi and data all day, the battery lasts for a day of use. Moreover, the majority of mobile phones today require daily charging. The plastic back does not bother me as I always use a case.

  For me, the biggest negative would be Samsung's UI and mainly the existence of the additional store that forces you to download some apps from there, or when upgrading apps like Twitter or TikTok from the Play Store, it does not recognize them and wants an upgrade again from the Samsung store.

  Overall, a mobile phone that will not disappoint, with decent photography and moderate battery life. For purchase today, I do not know if it is worth it because with 200 euros more, the new flagships with Snapdragon 8Gen2 have much better battery management.

  An exceptional model, especially for the 470 euros I paid, without VAT. All models of this generation have issues with their battery, Samsung slightly more so. As an overall use, it's worth every penny.

  After 2 weeks, the battery drains even though it should be a little better. From 10% it reaches 100% in 1 hour and 15 minutes with a 25 watt charger. The camera is at a top level. Very fast.

  This review is about capacity: 256 GB, ram: 8 GB, colour: Gray

  The mobile phone is easy to use, has many features and options. Its negatives are that when listening to music, you cannot exit the application to do something else without closing the music, the screen is very sensitive, resulting in having to hold it in your hands so as not to change the song you are listening to, and the alarm does not work if you turn off the phone. This did not happen with other phones I had.

  It has a fast processor, which is great for someone who works a lot with email and sends files. However, there is no value for money relationship. It should be more economical.

  Of course, I have had it for a short period of time, so I have not seen all its capabilities.

  Owner of the 256GB edition since May of last year. You pay a bit more, but in the long run it will cost you the same as one from Chinese manufacturers.

  2. The screen is pretty good, without being top-notch, while the SD 888 helps us understand those who bought the S21 a year ago with the Exynos.

  3. Photos and videos are exceptional in good lighting. Things get difficult in the dark.

  4. The company has promised software upgrades until early 2026 and security upgrades until early 2027.

  5. The battery easily lasts for several hours of screen time and Samsung takes care of its longevity with protection apps.

  6. The earpiece and reception are very good. Data transfer is quite fast and it's worth getting an unlimited data package as mobile telephony in Greece is much faster than wired network services.

  7. It's expensive and good. Not as much as Pixel and Samsung's flagships, but much higher than the corresponding implementations that have the title of flagship killers.

  8. Anyone who wants the second-best Android experience (since Pixel 7 and beyond, Google has made a big leap) will get Samsung and this particular model, which still holds its value since its release (taking into account the benefit from the gift).

  This review is about capacity: 256 GB, ram: 8 GB, colour: Gray

  I have it in my hands for a few days (coming from Galaxy A90 5G), but I bought it from another site cheaper, because it doesn't make sense to pay 600 euros for a mobile phone that doesn't even have a charger (no need to mention a case). The conclusions I have drawn are as follows:

  -The price should be 450-500 at most, regardless of storage and memory.
  -The fast charging takes about 1 hour and 10 minutes (from 2% to 100% it took me 1 hour and 7 minutes).
  -During the first few days of using the device, I noticed that it heats up very easily and only cools down when I'm not using it. It reaches 22-25 and even 26 to 27 degrees during use, which I haven't figured out yet, as I have disabled 5G and everything else.
  -Design-wise, it is good, I just wish the back was glass as it is more beautiful and doesn't leave many fingerprints (although it does leave some, but it doesn't bother me).
  -The processor is very good, as I was looking for a model with exclusively Snapdragon processor, since I haven't heard the best things about Exynos.
  -The battery has disappointed me, as it doesn't last even a day. When it is below 10% and you listen to music at a high volume, it shuts down (annoying, no doubt). It is truly surprising in 2023 to have mobile phones that do not have batteries equivalent to expectations and what they offer. For example, it is not logical for a 5G device with 4K video recording capability and 8 GB RAM to have a 4500 mAh battery. No matter how much I tried to save or reduce usage, the battery barely lasts a day. In fact, it has lasted me 1.5 days a few times, but I think it could have had a 5000 mAh battery instead of 4500 mAh and easily last 2 days (which is ideal for me, as I had a record of 2 days and 2 hours on my old phone). Because in some instances, the battery drops a little abruptly when it heats up, without necessarily doing anything demanding with the device.
  -Another thing I noticed is that when the device is turned on, it doesn't display the full model, but only "Samsung Galaxy," and it takes a long time to open (about 30-40 seconds), which I consider a negative aspect.
  -The calls are excellent thanks to Cosmote's WiFi Calling.
  -The speaker did not disappoint me much, but it could have better sound quality.
  -Whether it is fast or not depends on whether one uses the device at 60 or 120 Hz. When, for example, battery saving mode is enabled, it goes to 60, which means that sometimes it will be fast and other times slower.

  Overall, I am satisfied though.

  Edit 5/28/23: There is a serious issue with the battery! The phone heats up to around 40 degrees when I'm on Facebook or Messenger, causing the battery to drop abruptly as you can see in the photos, and it doesn't even last a day. Utterly unacceptable for a 600 euro phone. I might switch to the S23 immediately

  I have had it for a year. Generally, mobiles have specs that the average user will never reach, but neither will the demanding one, I believe. So, this mobile never lags and its performance will never be a problem for any reason. Now that the price has dropped so low, it is the best choice!

  A very fast phone with great photo and video capabilities. The software works seamlessly with Microsoft and Windows for those who know how to use them. Overall, an excellent experience, with the only issue being the battery, which can be significantly improved with some adjustments. Quick function removal, screen refresh at 60 frames per second instead of 120, and you're good to go for the day.

  Postscript

  The Samsung Dex works great for email, internet, and the occasional movie. My computer broke down and this phone came in handy.

  Screen 5/5
  Camera 4/5
  Could be better
  The rear camera struggles sometimes, especially in low light. Don't be fooled by the MP of the front camera, it's just a basic selfie camera.
  Battery 3/5
  Despite being rated at 4300-4500mAh, with heavy use it barely lasts a day even when new.
  Performance 5/5
  Its strongest point. Absolutely fast with zero lag.

  Extra
  120Hz, 5G, VoLTE/Wi-Fi calling.

  I would give it 4.5/5 stars with the only negative being the battery life, but this 4.5 starts to become 5 due to software improvement.

  Let's start..

  Camera? Incredible! Very good photo quality, even compared to other phones in its series with supposedly "better" specifications. The portrait effect is something I didn't expect to perform well, but it does (although this is related to the software). The only downside mentioned is in videos, where the color doesn't look natural indoors and under poor lighting conditions, it almost looks cartoonish. This is something that can be improved by Samsung through software updates, as many users have requested it for a better rating.

  Speed? Simply excellent (Snapdragon 888), but it consumes battery quickly.

  Sound quality is very good, and I didn't expect that. This is because it uses two speakers (one on the front and one at the bottom through the phone's USB connection).

  Overall, the phone has very good performance, doesn't heat up easily, and the battery management, although not as good as my previous phone (Samsung A70) which lasted one and a half days, is still sufficient for my usage. After the software update [Android 13, One UI 5.0], the battery management improved significantly, thanks to the AI's efficient handling and optimization.

  The screen, despite being a slight step down from the A70 (super AMOLED for the A70, AMOLED+ for this one), I didn't notice the difference and sometimes I would even say that it looks more beautiful due to its smaller size in inches compared to the A70. The A70 had the same resolution as the S21 FE, so the pixel density would have been higher.

  All in all, I would recommend it if someone has the budget for it, as it is worth the price and more. Of course, if there are other options available with better camera and performance (although it doesn't get much better), it would be better to go for those.

  After almost a year of use, the phone has a major issue with the battery. It might be due to my usage, but that doesn't change the fact that I had to charge it every 6-8 hours. Apart from that, the phone is capable, powerful, and fast. It didn't disappoint in any other aspect, and it is worth the money and more.

  I contacted Samsung and sent it to their service center with the possibility of getting a replacement. We will see how it goes.

  I don't understand why some people have issues with the battery. Before this, I had the Galaxy Note 8. By around 6:00 pm, the battery was at 20%. By 8:00 pm, I had to charge it or it would die. With the S21 FE, it's 11:30 pm and it's still at 35%. Excellent battery, at least compared to the Note 8.

  My worst experience in 15 years as a mobile phone user. The battery drains quickly and doesn't even last a day, so the owner needs to have a good power bank. Within 6 months, the device malfunctioned and the service center told me it wasn't covered by the warranty because I put it in my back pocket, which is not true. It's the first time it happened to me and the first time I heard of it. One thing is for sure, Samsung has lost my trust as a consumer and I will never buy any of their products again.

  The mobile phone is truly value for money. You have almost all the advantages of the Galaxy S21 series but at a significantly lower cost. Perfect screen, amazing camera, very fast processor. Initially, the battery was mediocre. With software updates, it improved significantly, resulting in easily lasting the whole day with heavy use, at least as far as the 256GB/8GB RAM version is concerned.

  This review is about the colour: Green

  Very satisfied with the phone, satisfactory photos, perfect screen and the right size, not too big or too small. If I have to complain about something, it's the battery life which is inferior to the previous Xiaomi, and of course that it doesn't support very fast charging like many Xiaomi, OnePlus, etc. But I don't mind because the user experience is much better and I don't think I'll go back to Xiaomi having tried this model.
  Also, I think the Olive color is beautiful.
  One of the worst things Samsung and other companies do, however, is the absence of a headphone jack. It only works with its own adapter which is overpriced and I've lost it at least once.

  This review is about the colour: Purple

  OMG! I am speechless! Where do I even begin? Firstly, the phone runs literally smoothly and doesn't lag at all. The photos are impeccable! The battery lasts half a day with proper usage, which is more than enough for me. The lavender color I got is amazing and very elegant. I believe that compared to an iPhone, it is more affordable and better in almost all aspects. I highly recommend it, it's worth every penny!

  This review is about capacity: 256 GB, ram: 8 GB, colour: Gray

  The owner of the aforementioned mobile phone had not bought a Samsung for many years, so I don't know what progress it has made compared to previous models, so I will compare it to the Huawei P40 Pro, which I was satisfied with, but life without GSM is difficult. So, the screen is excellent with very good colors and perfect resolution, after all, it is Samsung's strong point. The camera is exceptional, especially during the day when all mobile phones take perfect photos..... At night, it certainly does not reach the level of Huawei, but it is not bad, you just need to have a very steady hand. The video is very good. The battery lasts for 1 day without heavy use, so you need to be on standby with a charger or power bank. One downside is that it is slow to charge, especially compared to Huawei, where I left it to charge until I made coffee and got dressed and it lasted me all day. Now, as they say, it raises the temperature and you can fry an egg on the phone, at least in mine it is not true. It heats up on the back, but nothing scary. In conclusion, the phone is worth its money, especially for those who do not want to spend a fortune on a mobile phone.

  The first time I spent so much money and it's worth every penny for its speed, not to mention the fingerprint sensor that you can't even touch.. the camera, the video.. impeccable. I've had it for a month and something.. and it's unbeatable!!! Samsung is a flagship!!!!

  This review is about the colour: Purple

  Year 2022 is the worst year so far for buying a smartphone, flagship phones over 1000 euros are not worth it and mid-range phones now have quite a few bad characteristics, so you are looking for a good option with fewer bad characteristics and that doesn't cost a fortune. Former owner of Xiaomi and Huawei phones in recent years, and because Xiaomi has messed up its phones a lot and Huawei doesn't have Google services, I decided after a lot of searching to end up with this particular phone and my choice was fully justified, the phone gets 4.5/5 with a price around 500 euros, over 500 euros I consider it expensive. But let's take them one by one:

  1. Screen: very good, very smooth navigation with very nice and intense colors (quite intense in some cases, I would say, for someone with sensitive eyes, let them investigate it more, it bothers me sometimes).
  2. Processor: Snapdragon 888, very fast, I never noticed any lag, but let's face it, all phones with this processor heat up, but not to an annoying degree, with a case you don't even notice it (I don't play games).
  3. Build quality: the plastic back didn't bother me at all, after all, who has their phone without a case?
  4. Speaker: very good and clear, and very important, the phone doesn't crackle at high volume.
  5. Main camera: very good photos even in low light conditions, the video is excellent!!! It easily matches iPhone levels.
  6. Selfie camera: good photos, good video, the truth is I expected it to be a little better.
  7. Charging-Battery: very bad that it doesn't have a charger in the box, but the 25W charger is not very expensive and charges the phone quite fast, also very important, it has wireless charging at 15W, but the battery could last a little longer.
  8. Extras: it is waterproof and very light, it doesn't tire your hand.

  SUMMARY: If you want a waterproof phone with a very good main camera, good sound, very good processor, and wireless charging, I think it's the only way to go up to 500 euros. (If you're not interested in the camera, wireless charging, and extra features, you can go for the Realme GT Neo2, an excellent choice).

  This review is about capacity: 256 GB, ram: 8 GB, colour: Gray

  The device is exceptional, it is complete in every way, detailed now.
  2. The screen is excellent and quite bright.
  3. User experience is completely smooth without any lag, the 120hz makes a difference and the One UI is quite balanced.
  4. Light and quite convenient to hold.
  5. Speaking of the processor, we're talking about the Snapdragon 888, last year's top-of-the-line, nothing else is needed.
  6. Sometimes the colors in the photos are a bit too saturated, but overall they are excellent (speaking of a mobile phone). In terms of video, it's amazing, especially with 4k HDR, the quality is very good, as is the stabilization when holding it in your hand, it does a very good job.
  7. Waterproof and with above-average sound.
  8. Now, as for the battery, it's fine, it easily lasts a day, I was expecting it to be much worse, no issues though.
  9. Unfortunately, there is no charger in the package, and if you don't already have at least a 15-watt one, it will take a while to charge.
  10. Personally, at the price it is now, I consider it the most complete device for 2022, there is no competition, there are certainly better ones, but for me, they don't justify the 300€+ (from a practical point of view). Samsung has done a great job with the implementation.
  Update:
  After 5 full months, the device is working flawlessly without any lag, just like the first day. Everything else I wrote still holds true.
