I like how you go over the regular S21 vs all the other channels that just review the Ultra. Much appreciated
From a guy stuck in the UK and will never see the places your showing,I just want to say how much I appreciate the time & effort you constantly put into your videos, thank you.👍
I'm also in the UK, and I'm sure I will go back to NYC eventually.
@@SJF15 lucky guy,love watching videos like these & seeing more than just buildings...
Such an incredible video
Love the little stories and vlog feel
Thank you so much Jacklyn! So glad you like my format 🙏
The most creative, relatable and informative review of the S21 I've seen so far! I'm buying one, thanks to you 😉
Are you satisfied with the battery ?
This is so good bro. Wasn't even like a typical review. You underpromised and over delivered. Specs + New York Tour all in one. Thanks fam.
Dude, you could explore your apartment and I’ll still watch...and I know it’ll still be a fantastic video...
Same man
Same man, same😂
Same to same
Hahahaha
Haha, same! :))
Just love how you did the whole smartphone review with the vlog vibe gushing along! Incredible job! 😍🙌🏼
Thank you so much!!
I am a Samsung fan boy. I went from the s8 using it for 3 years and upgraded to the s20 fe. Great new phone that I have. Also for Christmas my wife brought me the samsung beans. Brought great products. Dave u make wonderful videos. Keep it coming
I'm also using the S20FE 5G and I'm really loving the performance especially the cameras. Totally worth it.
Who else think his Reviews are kinda Underrated😒
I always watch this channel when it comes to real-world tests. Cause it's so satisfying to see what he shot
Love the format. Like the chill feel.
I don't usually subscribe to anything much, but I made an exception here.
Thank you so much!
Same for me:)
Last time I was this early, the Samsung Galaxy S line still had expandable storage 🤣 🤣 🤣
And that's not long ago at all...
@@MrRandalFlagg If he had said removable battery...
@@ricog8209 Well...S5 was a hell of a time ago
@@azam829 The only s phone without expandable storage before the s21 was the s6.
to be honest i prefer when you just explore new york - always cool to see it
And i prefer when you dont comment
@@mammid9622 Your one of those.....
Coffeeeeé!

Coffeee with plastic lid, chinese food also in plastic dishes, liberals produce a lot of plastic pollution
Came for the S21 review, stayed for the NYC tour. Great video!
Thank you!
Camera samples look great. I think they look even better when Scene Optimiser is turned off. Saturation and contrast is turned down a bit then.
Glad I found this unboxing vlog! Usually unboxing videos bore me because they all seem the same but the little tour you've given has made us be a part of your day rather than a regular tech vlog. Subscribing for sure. Have a nice day!
Thank you so much!
The 5G will work in USA and in China but make sure you get the unlocked version from My World Phone
Well done 👏 This is a good video man ! I'm using Galaxy S21 plus
Man, this is my first time watching any of your videos and i really enjoyed it. Great format!
Finally after three tries watched the full video. Have been at it for days but kept getting interrupted by something or the other.
Thank you for the awesome vlog style video, always enjoy these!
IT's a great format where you review the device but also go on an exploration trip
Thank you!!
A reminder: The telephoto lens isn't 3X optical; it's actually 1.06X optical, then cropped to 3X, hence the "hybrid zoom". My guess as to why they've chosen this setup is so that you can film 8K (which requires at least a 33MP sensor) without punching in all the way to 3X. The high pixel count is then used for cleaner digital zoom. Using the 64MP sensor for 8K allows them to keep the main sensor at the standard 12MP, meaning larger pixels for better normal photos.
Edit: you also mislabelled the 8K shots as being taken with the main sensor.
Edit 2: Also, the S21 and S21+ display's adaptive setting switches between 48 and 120Hz, not 10 and 120Hz.
Smart
Dude! How come every time I watch one of your videos I learn a shit-ton of history, I want to buy a new phone and I want to visit NYC? Fantastic video again…and again. Keep up the vlog feel!
Haha thank you so much 🙏
I loved the video so very much!!! I know you worked hard on it so just a round of applause for you, I was very impressed and excited watching. 😊❤
Man, I really misss livin' in the city. Thanks for taking me along. Excellent video!
I always like that he starts the video with an explanation of the video format about what the 'Real World Test' is...
I also love his 2 fixed lines for every video:
1. First things first...coffee👌
2. As always regardless, though, thanks for watching✌️
This type of review is the best on youtube now. Feels refreshing! keep it up mate.
Thanks for this S21 video, i love it.. so i bought it
Still like your: "Friendly review". The New York tour made the right perspective and was interesting to follow. You have become a "Virtual relative"! Thank You!
Great review man! Always love the way you test the camera's in real life. It makes more sense to a lot of consumers. But... the camera on the S21 is way better than the S20. Definitely noticable in Night Mode. More contrast there. Because of a few reviews, including yours, I just purchased the S21 and I'll be receiving it tomorrow. I live in The Netherlands, so it'll have the Exynos chip, but I've read and seen some good reviews about it, so I'll hope for the best. It'll definitely be a great upgrade from my S9, which has a TERRIBLE battery life! 😅
Thanks very much for this review. It definitely made making my decision a lot more easy. Been doubting a lot between the Pixel5 and this phone, but the Pixel5 made too much cuts to make it the 'perfect phone'. Almost perfect, but I feel this S21 suits me most;
Compact design
Great camera (Almost Pixel-like)
Not TOO expensive (still a lot of money)
Better software experience than earlier Samsung devices
Less Samsung bloatware than ever before
Thanks again!
Hello, Matt! Can you tell me if the s21's battery is good? I mean, the only point that makes me not buy it is its battery, I saw some people saying it's not good and they'd only made lika 6h of screen time. After a year using it, what can you tell me about it?
Man, what a incredible video! It's a pleasure to see this kind of content!
Thank you for watching it! Subscribe and the new S22 ones are coming this week :)
Great video bro really appreciated ❤🤙🏽
This video was amazing. I wasn't even watching for the phone towards the end, I was just interested in what you had going on that day. A well deserved like and subscribe
I'm just scrolling through and rewatching some of the RWT videos. Not sure how but I completely missed this one!?🤔 This video is absolutely beautiful!! The way you've put it together, the sites, the photos, the food, the locations, all using the product being reviewed is just fantastic!! Kudos to you for such great work. BTW, those dumplings...oh man I miss NYC!!
Thank you so much for going back and watching older videos, it helps me out and I really appreciate that you even want to do that 🙏🙏🙏
Wow thanks a million for this, I love the vibe of this video and your awesome information!
Wow dude. Lovely vid, informative and so entertaining. Getting my S21 tomo
Really good format. Unique review style. I'll definitely be watching more often.
Watching this video 2 years later in brand new S21. Guess what I'm feeling brand new!!!!!
Great vídeo David! Love the format!
I always enjoy the real world test. More verbal then visual. Even like a little tour guide around those places you been. Very helpful for people who are blind like myself.
Great fan of these videos for a long time now.
Only thing I’d change is using the phone footage more than it is now.
Great work as always.
This kind of review is much more entertaining than the usual talk about specs.
Great work! I really like this kind of videos. 🙃
Great video! This vlog/outside style is easy to watch, and very entertaining!
Great test, as always. To improve this series, it might be good to upload the test photos you took, so we can see them and further compare in full resolution. I am curious if more people would like this too.
I love these video's, the review parts are *almost* a side show for me, I just like the presentation, the tours around NY and others places and the general speed, tone and overall ambience - Greetings from the UK
There is probably “no change” in the US but international, it’s a massive improvement to ex990
Can you explain further?
@@warlorddk2070 In the US, Samsung phones have been equipped with Snapdragon SOC's . But in Europe (and a lot of other parts in the world) you will get it with Samsung's own Exynos chip. As somebody who has had the S8 up to the S20 because of his job. And i`m using phones with Snapdragon personally. The diff is HUGE. On the S10 it was still good. But esp the S20 was a real step down noticeably in performance, but also battery life. My work S20 always needed a mid-day top-up, the S10 before it which also had Exynos didn't.
First time viewer and your video was great. Nice format too, am getting the s21 so this was great. Thanks for sharing.
Great video as always!! The amount of effort you put into these is amazing! Keep it up!
I'm actually watching this for the second time, because of how great your videos are
Thank you!!
Thanks for this! After watching three of your real world tests, I have now subscribed. I like your style!
Thank you!!
I wasn't even planning on buying this, but I saw it recently in a local store and loved it instantly. This thing is a beauty, just go for it !
Great vlog style review, I loved the video
Thank you!
You are awesome at reviewing and explaining man. Thank you for activating the translation💜
Thank you for watching!
Did anyone else notice that it seemed like the pictures on the S20 FE looked better than the S21? Impressive
This video shows so much effort and is so informative and entertaining at the same time! Really good job.
It's always interesting to see the tourism you do in any place, being your neighborhood or another country.
Nice video as always man, liked as always too
Your channel pop up on my timeline and I'm glad they did. Done like and subscribed . Thanks for reviewing s21 rather than s21 ultra only
This is exactly what i've been looking for.. Full experience on S21 camera, thanks a lot for sharing!
Your intro: Good morning, another real-world test...
Your outro: Regardless, Thanks for watching.
are the most simple yet the most attractive and fascinating for me. I was really waiting for this video.
Regardless
Thank you
Thank you so much! 🙏
@@TheUnlockr Thank you so much to you too for making tech reviews vlog style and much more enjoyable than the behind the desk ones.
I know that I’ll be satisfied with mine come Friday!
Did you like it? I love mine
Classic real-world test from you! Love it!
Totally loved the review,haven't seen any like this.. 100/100
Your real world test are awesome!!! Thanks !!!
Awesome!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for the regular one!
Awesome, entertaining and informative video, first time viewer, subscribed instantly 👌💪👍😍❤
I just love your format: a 2 fer. Incredible real world test and review and awesome travelogue. Keep it up.
Quality is really upping tbh. Continue what you're doing, David!
3:45 the map reminds me of Silent Hill maps! No zombies yet? 🤭😂😁🤣✌️
2:45. Which camera and settings did you use here?
Hi there, quick question: why does my s21 camera doesn't have the same quality as your review? Just got mine on Samsung Pre Order...
Awesome video once again. Nice phone review plus seeing spots of New York at the same time. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Love the format of this review.
I can't be the only person who thinks after mentioning being at the Battery, he would at least check on the (phone) battery.
Ditto, was expecting that segway as well 😂
Now this is a REAL real world test. Thanks! Subscribed!
Love the format of a blog.
Love your real world tests bro!! Keep it up! Number 1 fan from South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦
LOVE the VLOG! Keep up the GREAT work👍
Really liked the format! Took that ferry on a 25th of January when it was raining and never felt so cold! Took a very similar route Lower Manhattan-financial district, China town and also little Italy and loved it!
really love the real world tests especially exploring nyc. i watch them regardless the fone. greetz from germany.
Thank you for watching them all! 🙏
I think this is my go to device of the 3, the size is the main reason
I have the ultra. It's so damn big and heavy
Watching on my S21, love it!! Great review 💗
Did you recommend s20FE or S21 for good battery life, good photo, fast phone and a resistance screen???
Nice vídeo! Keep up the good work.
Forget about the phone, I want to go to new york after seeing this 😂
It just looks cold, dark, dreary, and sad.
It looked like night at 5 PM
It's always better then where I live 😂
@@kimw3883 where is that?
@@consciousgentile5141 the Netherlands
i thought just that of this generation, identical to the previous one. i even expected a lot more from this new chipset, at least a longer battery life. love your vlogs. congratulations. keep it up.
4:33 , 5:19 S21 family currently have the best ultrawide camera on a smartphone.
Yes, the skies is not over exposure
Coffee ✅.....I Love that part. I just got my Phantom Gray S21 coming from the S20 Ultra. I wanted a smaller device. This S21 definitely fits the ticket. Because of the design and smaller size, and better cameras, I think it's better than the S20 Ultra. Just me. Good video as always.
Great VID as ALWAYS
Thanks for taking the time to make a video like this in the cold 🥶
Thats it i searching for all day thanks for the test
You're seriously the very best
thank you!!
@@TheUnlockr you're welcome
im considering soon upgrading from my iphone 8 to the s21 (gotta get out of that apple cycle because its 'easy'), so this was very helpful!, ty
3x isn't optical, it's "hybrid". The telephoto lens is actually 1.1x and cropping from 64mp and AI get the 3x
Love ur videos sir!!
New to the channel, and I really like the style. Love to see a bit of my favorite city in the world while getting a review of the S21. Subcribed!
Thank you!!
That color option is beautiful. Really like what Samsung did there
Bro, you made me want to reach through the screen & take a dumpling 😋.
Nice pics & vids, I am really thinking of switching from 🍎 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
I really appreciate that u review s21 very good 😊
I really appreciate you still including the LG velvet as I have yet to determine which phone to get under $800
