Just don't understand why Google and Samsung refuse to make the best Android phone come together as one on the mobile side. Google handle the software and Samsung handle the hardware.
Actually they did, from almost the very beginning with Android 2.3, more than 10 yrs ago, with the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus. But the timing wasn't right, Android was at its infancy then. The Nexus program was exactly what you describe - a partnership between a phone OEM and Google to create a phone that runs a pure Android OS as Google intended. Alas it didn't last long and Pixel was born. The way I see it, every OEM has invested so much time and money in their variant of Android so they have their own identities. No way would they make a phone which runs a pure OS that does not fly their flags. "People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware". Apple understands this and did well. Only makes sense for Google to follow suit.
Nobody buys the S21 FE for 699,- There are some great deals with this model. Here in Holland with 2 year contract 425 euro and 100 cashback makes 325 euro for S21 FE. Just a great price for a great phone with Snapdragon 888 and 120Hz Amoled screen. Try find same specs on Iphone for that price 😄
Too bad we don't have an availability of the Google Pixel smartphones here in Thailand. So, I bought the S21 FE instead. No regrets on buying this one.
My guess is that the Pixel 7 will be much improved over the 6 in terms of pretty much everything. Once Google expands upon their Tensor a bit more and lets it mature a bit, I really think that we'll have the greatest Android device around. With that being said, I think the 6 is already an awesome phone. I think that Google should extend the 3 year OS support to 5 year OS support later down the line as it's entirely possible. 5 years of support would be huge for Android phones and would really add to the longevity of them. In the end, I'll probably end up either going for the 6 when I can find a deal on it or getting the 6a which will hopefully release in May.
@@PeteMatheson Yeah, it's also strange to me that it's so inconsistent across so many people. I suspect that we need to let not only Android 12 mature a little bit, but also Tensor itself. Some people report completely flawless experiences like many of my friends, but some report horrendously buggy experiences like MKBHD. I hope the 7 will hit it on the nose with consistency and provide a more refined rendition of Tensor.
Samsung has that. S21 up 4 years of OS updates and an additional year of security. So 5 years. Maybe with the pixel 7 or once tensor can catch up they might up the support years
@@Truecrimeresearcher224 To be honest with you, I'd rather have less OS support in exchange for a more stable and snappy device. So those 5 years of security support is honestly fine for me. Plus I believe Google will bring features of new OS version to older OS versions via the Play Store.

Great video friend. Can I make a suggestion for you? One Ui has come a long way, but the best part of Android is the customization. You can swap out everything including the launcher. I'd love to see your reaction to Nova Launcher and Microsoft SwiftKey for the keyboard
For the number 1 you do not love with 21 Se, you can simply set up the edge panel to show all the most recent apps you used. You do not need to pull up or down like the one in pixel or apple but instead pull the edge panel from the side!
I dont get the price argument. I've never seen an S21 FE sell forn the MSRP. It's wildly discounted when purchasing with a mobile plan upgrade. So here in Bulgaria it's like 400 euro and on release it was like 450 euro. Which is like 340-380 GBP.
you didn't mention any of the advantages of android...like being able to use the memory on your phone like you would on a windows computer for example, instead of not being allowed to do ANYTHING on IOS. I guess as IOS user you don't even realize these things..

I've just purchased this today brand new for £595 including a free pair of galaxy buds 2 graphite - I think that it works at that price and I am expecting it to be a solid all rounder - Replacing my S9 that is now 4 years old because that battery life is now so poor it is not a reliable phone to be out and about with. Was really toying with Nord 2 for the charging speeds and also the S20 FE 5G but this one ticked more boxes for me and the deal made it make sense. Can't wait for it to arrive tomorrow :)
It has arrived and it is awesome! Still flitting between it and the S9 whilst waiting for a case to arrive. The S9 feels ancient! The free buds are decent too. Happy customer 😀
@@MrSwoleGaming earbuds are free at the launch of a new smartphone on the samsung website over an interval of about 1 month. So if you plan to buy the S23 either in pre-order or within a month on the samsung website you will have free earbuds delivered with it.
Last week i bought the s21 fe and i love this phone, i upgraded from a SS galaxy i got in 2017. I looked at the s22, the one with the pen and the bigger screen was $1650 in canada where i live ,there was another one that was $950 on sale but i didn't like the small screen, i looked at the google pixl 6 but too many people in reviews said it was too buggy so i went with the s21 fe that was also on sale for $799. There was no s21 reg in the store only refurbished ones that you could only get online and i didn't want a used phone anyways so for me the s21 fe was the perfect choice and i am very happy with it. I'll probably have this phone for 5 years until i upgrade again.
Great video as usual ! But Samsung phones have universal copy and paste when connected with a Samsung tablet or a Windows PC (you have to setup link to windows first).
@@PeteMatheson yeah we definitely can't expect universal copy and paste between an Android phone and a macbook, just like we can't expect it between an iPhone and a windows laptop 😄😂
I switched from my bestfriend iphone 8 plus of 3 years to the samsung s21 fe like 2 days ago and how this phone performs and feels is amazing at this price and i got it at an ubeatable deal too i love this phone soooo much
S21FE today is definitely a REAL DEAL...Compare to Iphone 12,13 & Samsung S21-S22 line up. There are 400+$ price available right now which the specs clearly as very close to a 1,000US$ price tag. Very much value for money as of today.
😅 all of your Samsung gripes, besides the battery, can be customised to your liking. For example, use the edge instead of having multiple icon home pages. Nice review though
As someone who's owned both iPhones and Pixels, I can say that Samsung gets a lot right that those two don't. iOS is rigid and the same thing year after year, plus you cannot customize anything. Whether you buy a $200 iPhone or a $2000 iPhone, it makes no difference. You can't truly make it yours. Plus, the last two iPhones I owned had this weird glitch where I constantly held the screen a second too long and all the apps on the home screen started earthquake jiggling. And I constantly accidentally triggered the camera and flashlight from the lock screen, which again, you can't customize to disable it. You can only completely disable it so then you can't use it. With Pixel phones, you get a decent Android phone but a very buggy experience overall that leaves you feeling as if you bought an incomplete smartphone in the beta testing phase. All of that to say no smartphone is perfect. They all have their annoyances so you have to pick whatever you can live with and have the most fun using each day. And I'm considering getting this phone. To anyone who owns this phone, is the battery life really that bad? It's confusing because some people say they get 3 hours, some say 4, and others still say they get 7-8 hours. Samsung has a lot to enjoy though and it's nice to see an Apple fan try Android. I feel that in the last few years, Android has not only matured but come really close to iPhone level reliability.
@@PeteMatheson I've seen some people say that on newer Pixels. I rage quit Pixels because I had the 5a and 6a and both of them were just horrible on about everything. And the call quality was about as bad as Motorola. Those who've owned a Motorola phone know the struggle 😁
Bit late but the battery life is kind of bad. I tried being positive about it because I love everything else about the S21 FE except the random heating as well, which seems to be less of an issue at the moment for some reason. The battery life, well using just social media, youtube etc at 120hz less than half brightness darkmode, I get about 5 hrs SOT draining from 85% to ~20% Its manageable but couldve been better. The thing is inorder for u to get the most out of the phone using its customisations using GoodLock, AOD etc it takes another hit on the battery over what I mensioned. Plus even worse if u use anything more intensive. Mind u that was with 5G turned off. Still its a great phone if u manage the drain. The customisation is level insane and the screen is gorgeous. Sadly I had to take my customisation and animations a notch down to gain a bit more battery. Also the features are insane, probably the most feature rich software out there. Free call recording, personalize every inch without a single outside app, samsung exclusive features and apps, etc unmatched software service.
Universal clipboard of course exist. Natively on the Samsung. This is the Link to Windows function in the Advanced Settings. This is native with any Windows device. It saves all the clipboard and roam it instantaneously in all your Samsung / Windows device. How come you do not know that??? It is basically at the setup of a Windows device so you can NOT miss it!!!
Bought this phone in Feb 2023. It's a great phone and cost me only $550. A big difference when the S22 is $800 and a worse phone than the S21 Fe plus the S23 isn't really very different than the S21 FE imo.

My galaxy watch took forever to repair with my new S22 plus. But that could be user error. I had security settings where I needed to log into my Samsung account and I needed to remember what password i had for it.

How hard is it to switch from an iPhone. Unless you like paying more for less and having a notch even if it was reduced buy 30% with no benefit what so ever.

The keyboard is the only thing I really miss from my iPhone. I could tap away at lightning speed and it would fix almost every typo. And why can't Samsung or Google add text replacement instead of mere shortcuts to their keyboards. 😐

On Android's SwiftKey I can tap away at lightning speed and it will fix every single typo while using 3 languages at the same time. The iPhone keyboard can't do that. Why can't Apple implement such a basic feature?
@@alaorilla9716 Consider that the crppy keyboard from Apple works for you.. have not used it recently but it was way behind Androids keyboard 5 years ago.
I had S20FE before and I have unfortunetly destroyed it. Now I have 21FE.... I would take rather S20FE cause SDcard slot, battery duration, its also probably cheaper. But it is no more available in my country.
Going backwards.. have you been using an iPhone for the past 2 years?? With a mask you have to go back to the 2004 way to unlock your phone. I'll take a fingerprint sensor over face id any day.
Let me say this, Knowing both Android and apple user, If you been with apple just stay with apple. Dont transfer over to talk bad about Android cause andriod is 🔥🔥💯
but the price declined a lot in a month right? at least what I am seeing in Europe it's now being sold for 200€ less sim free, in US , even at 499$ with a contract, whereas the pixel 6 price barely moved.. so it's actually the better deal
It's a real shame you've had so many bugs with your pixel 6 pro, mine had been flawless and the battery lasts two days at least. But I know others who have also had problems, so the pixel experience really has been inconsistent for people. Have you tried performing a factory reset? Perhaps giving the phone a "clean slate" will help?

5. To fix the 5g drain from the poor modem they just disabled it with the January uodate. ( Use speed test you will see it is now only on 4g).
6. Horrendous battery life 6 hours is not all day
7. Sad when pixel 5 lasted two days
8.iphone 13 takes better photos and I am not even an apple fan.
9. No face id
10. Will not charge with third party chargers since January update.
11. Terrible signal for regular phone calls drops them constantly.
12. Bad wifi
13.bad Bluetooth connection issues.
14. Too big and wide and thick .. like a literal brick sandwich .
15. I can keep going .. but I
Either you are the most unlucky person, or are lying.
Also my phone has been charging perfectly fine using 3rd party chargers?
That sounds like a load of bs
My Pixel 6 has been great since October 27th no issues
In where I'm living (Vietnam), this one only costs about 500 bucks
My galaxy watch took forever to repair with my new S22 plus. But that could be user error. I had security settings where I needed to log into my Samsung account and I needed to remember what password i had for it.
Same been apple for years I love this phone the screen is amazing
Great video, just one correction, the pixel 6 Pro has a 5003 mAh battery whereas the S21 FE has a 4,500 mAh battery.
But the Samsung charge faster and the battery last longer . I had the pro , and didn't last a day . This one yess!
@@ReNNEbab I wasn’t saying the battery life is worse, I was just pointing out a correction
Does it support call recording feature built into the phone please?
Great review Pete, how is the voice to text on the Samsung FE vs the Google 6.
Love my s20fe.. but really tempting on s22ultra.
Love the design.
Just got my 21 FE, today.
@@pawsplants_pics5683 Hi, how's your S21 FE so far?
Your amazon screen grab comparing price of s21 fe with s21 renewed listing is showing an s20 renewed not an s21, what gives?
I'm using the Exynos 2100 version and having overheating issues....
It's shame that S21 FE does come with SD Slot, and I which the finger print was slightly higher on the screen and bigger.
Universal copy and paste do work with Windows pc's and on samsung tablets
Interesting video, love it!
Using iPhone since 2007. Just bought the FE and had it a month. Not a fan. Every function is worse; unlock, ID, RUclips control w phone closed, notes, setting up phone screen. The Apple ecosystem is just too slick. Gonna give it another month before I perhaps sell it.
Mmhh
You can install calyxOS on the pixel so no
How hard is it to switch from an iPhone. Unless you like paying more for less and having a notch even if it was reduced buy 30% with no benefit what so ever.
Depends on how deep in the apple ecosystem you are
If you had a Mac and ipad. Its easy
If you have an iphone, ipad, apple watch, Mac, iMac. It's a bit hardwe
Great video
Xiaomi 11t pro or samsung s21fe ?
The keyboard is the only thing I really miss from my iPhone. I could tap away at lightning speed and it would fix almost every typo. And why can't Samsung or Google add text replacement instead of mere shortcuts to their keyboards. 😐
There are keyboards similar to apples that do that. I can't remember which ones cause ii use Gboard. I don't like Samsung keyboard
@@Truecrimeresearcher224 I tried downloading a few and couldn't find any so just gave up lol Plus I don't like having to download third party apps I'd like everything I want built into the phone especially such a basic feature
On Android's SwiftKey I can tap away at lightning speed and it will fix every single typo while using 3 languages at the same time. The iPhone keyboard can't do that. Why can't Apple implement such a basic feature?
@@alaorilla9716 Consider that the crppy keyboard from Apple works for you.. have not used it recently but it was way behind Androids keyboard 5 years ago.
S20 fe or s21 fe. Which would be better to pick.
I had S20FE before and I have unfortunetly destroyed it. Now I have 21FE.... I would take rather S20FE cause SDcard slot, battery duration, its also probably cheaper. But it is no more available in my country.
Going backwards.. have you been using an iPhone for the past 2 years?? With a mask you have to go back to the 2004 way to unlock your phone. I'll take a fingerprint sensor over face id any day.
So you have spend another 300 to unlock your phone?? That's sounds so apple, sign me up for that.
A fingerprint sensor works great and wearing a watch change anything
Let me say this, Knowing both Android and apple user, If you been with apple just stay with apple. Dont transfer over to talk bad about Android cause andriod is 🔥🔥💯
loving the Oura ring; when will you be reviewing it - I want one but need to see a trustworthy review!
1Password kinda useless when you have a samsung. They all have Samsung pass
I'm using s21 fe for last 3 days .... I have a huge heating issue. Battery drains fast. It's a brand new. Exynos version
How is it now?
If the price was the same as the Pixel 6 at £599 it would sell like hotcakes 🙂
but the price declined a lot in a month right? at least what I am seeing in Europe it's now being sold for 200€ less sim free, in US , even at 499$ with a contract, whereas the pixel 6 price barely moved.. so it's actually the better deal
@@kabangaleri8040 it's down to 550 thru Samsung's site and it's only been two months
In the Netherlands I can get it for 519 euros now! So about 430 pounds
3:43 There's that Android lag we all know and love(?)......
The phone works great
i will buy it because now in europe i can get the S888 processor and not the trash exynos
Samsung s21fe vs xiaomi 11 witch one Will be better in The same amonte of money?
I like xiaomi phone but hate the ui. So I bought fe.
It's a real shame you've had so many bugs with your pixel 6 pro, mine had been flawless and the battery lasts two days at least.
But I know others who have also had problems, so the pixel experience really has been inconsistent for people.
Have you tried performing a factory reset? Perhaps giving the phone a "clean slate" will help?
I switched from an apple iPhone 6 plus to the Google pixel 5 and
Worst phone to switch from iphone
Why everyone buys black back?
i bought the silver s21 to match my silver watch 4
Fingerprints
The Galaxy S21 FE Exynos has more battery life that the Snapdragon 888 one.
Really
@@vishnunaraine6761 Of course. Look at the S21/S21+ review on GSMArena and look all smartphones with SD 888 with big battery, they have average battery life
@@dsm7 so Exynos 2100 is better than the SD 888 after updates ?
@@vishnunaraine6761 Yes.
Watching this on my s21
Still watching this video on my s9+ lol
better than Pixel 6 yes, pixel Pro no...
in india its available for 370 pounds
Waiting on Samsung to process my phone
I don't like Samsung software , to messy . Pixel 6 is much simpler and photos are better .
Completely agree, Samsung looks too childish to me. Shame cause this has put me off getting their smartwatches
@@iamthunderhawk honestly the smartwatches are miles different from the phones. And if samsung looks too childish...... CUSTOMIZATION BABBBYYYYY
Honestly Samsung really have clean up their software it's basically give you plenty of options to use or not to use features. Much cleaner
@@dplace exactly! You can truly make it your own. My phone is so personalized i will never use someone elses and be like, woah, just like my phone.
@@iamthunderhawk Uh it really isnt so your comment makes zero sense
I am using galaxy f22 and it is enough for me
F22 raptor?. Us air xorce.. Waoo
Just stay with apple and call it a day
No, in my opinion
Samsung S21 FE 5G is a useless model because there is no memory card slot.
S21 FE 5G has 90% same specs than the superhit S20 FE 5G
What about the camera?is the same level??
S20 fe has gorilla 3,and s21fe has gorilla victus
Glass protection does not matter for normal users.
Hiiii samsung S21 fe 5g uv
S21 fe has very bad heating issue. Don't ever buy this.
