So I upgraded from the iPhone 11 to the samsung galaxy s21 and to be completely honest I love it. For what I do on my phone I get significantly more battery life out of the s21 and I couldn't be more happy. I wish I went with the s21+ just for that extra screen size but the s21 6.2 inch display isn't small by any means. So if your looking to switch from let's say a iPhone X so an android I would personally go with the s21. Great day in the life video by the way.
I upgraded to s21 from the iPhone xR yesterday and to be honest I love almost everything about this phone except for the selfie camera and the battery. though its not bad however I don’t feel confident using it on a long day without any power-bank. Let me know if you have any tips for suggestions.
A new Samsung will normally give you the worst battery life during the first week of use It gets better by time as learning usage patterns saves a ton of battery
@@lowiecantgreen9496 its okayt my screen time is around 4 hours and I charge it every night while sleeping 😴 though the optimization feature sucks, I miss important notifications now or then so this is not really optimization in my book 😢
My S21 usually goes a day and a half on the battery. Obviously my usage isn't as intensive as on this video. Have had it for 3 weeks now, I am very happy with it.
personally i liked what samsung done, they made it a cheaper model, some things are actually better than ultra (just one or two) and this is nice to consider we have been used to 1200 or 1500 all this while, hope they keep doing these types of movement in the future
@@Bokie469 lol I wasn't asking for advice on which is better, because I know it's the Ultra. I had the Ultra at the time of questioning the OC. I was curious on how he thinks the regular S21 is better in any way than the S21 Ultra
Great review! Only the battery that was underestimated. To check the real screen on time, you need to go to device care -> battery -> tap the graph and then it will show the real screen on time.
This is what we want .. a full day real life review and testing in all aspects .. thanks for this , keep doing this.. 🙌🏻👌🏻 wishing success in the coming days..
Bro!! I'm just at 1:28, haven't even gone half of the video. You are a small RUclipsr and this real day in life video is looking to be more useful than the big guys 🤣.. I am loving the screen record display, bigger size phone info texts, and the student life details in general. Please keep up the good work, continue your method, It beats out the rest for me. Thanks 💘
I know that was Yokohama, but I totally miss Tokyo. Thumbs up for taking it outside. Yes would love to see a re-review of the 6.2" S21. Curious to see if battery life improves after the AI learns your tendencies.
In fact for 2 - 3 years to really judge the autonomy of a Samsung it is after 3 - 4 weeks of use the time that the phone learns your uses and optimizes for them. I went from 6h SOT on my old S10 Plus to 8h - 8h30 after 3 weeks. And especially if you switch the phone in energy saving mode (you won't feel any difference in speed on standard tasks, social networks, web, RUclips) but the gain in autonomy is monstrous. For intensive tasks (game, compression and video editing) just set a Bixby routine that requires the smartphone to go back to Normal or beast mode. It's a bit complicated 😅 but it's actually very simple and quick to set up. I think that's how iPhones are optimized by default.
I want a battery case for my S21 but there aren't many for the regular S21 only ultra or plus By the way I put it in 60hz turn off enhanced processing and power saver and I easily get 9 hours of SOT watching videos and it STILL looks awesome. Right now I'm at 86% and have 1 hour and 32 minutes screen on time.
Great review. Just wanted to add the phone rarely goes into 48hz. It is usually in 60hz when not in use including always on display. You can turn on refresh rate stats in developer options.
I fully regret getting the iPhone 12 rather than the s21. The only problem that drove me to go to the iPhone is that those s21 phones being sold by Samsung stores in our country are all exynos. And yikes, I don’t like that chipset as I have experienced using it with my past galaxy devices now. It freaking rapidly slowed after over 2 years of usage.
Thank you Peach for the phantom gray review I was stuck between the phantom gray or white one but it's confirmed now for me (updated I have the s21 white and my main phone is the silver s21 plus)
@@felpzdev The only differences between the ultra and standard was battery size, but 1000mah shouldnt of made that battery so bad. My friend has the base s20 and her battery life is around 5+ hours screen on time. Also s21 has worse screen, no expandable memory, no mst support and plastic. Literally a downgrade lmao
@@anonym5510 I can tell the Mst support and exp. Mm as an downgrade, but not the screen, i can't see any differences between s20 and s21 screens, and s21 also had adaptative refresh rate wich allows me to use 120hz all day without abusive battery consumiption.
Wow. Amazing video. Your editing & general video quality are excellent :-) Plus, I love this phone in Phantom Gray. I'm thinking of buying it, but I'm not sure yet, so this video helped me a lot. So, thanks!
Does it have heating issues? And do you think s21 will last for like 4-5 years?? Because I see iphone users always prefer it because of the longer life expectancy for iphone.. Do you think s21 will last that long? What's your opinion?
I'm watching phone reviews for fun for yeaarss and curious on how I wasn't subscribe to you yet because I thought you have like hundred thousands for subscriberss yoo i like your editing style!
Expected SoT using 60 hz should land between 7-9 hrs and 120 hz on about 6-7 hrs. Any lower than this and you should consider disabling some settings and removing bloat apps.
@Peace Gates do you know how to get the camera to look more accurate? I found that using it made me look washed out and darks look dark. Even on natural mode with the smoother off
What charger did you end up settling with for this phone? I've been looking for a good alternative to the regular Samsung charger but it's so much harder to find a Samsung charger as opposed to a iPhone charger, for example.
Hey. I have the S21 exynos old as same as your. So in my one it drain the battery very quickly from 5% to 0%. Very quick mean like in 8min it will be dead. So I just want to know whether it'd the same with your or I need to take my phone to a service center to look at it. Please check and let me know if you got any free time thank you!
4 hrs on screen time? 😬 Thinking about picking one up but that battery life is a killer. I get over a day of battery life on low power mode with my iphone 12.
I'm considering buying it... I want a replacement for my Xperia XZ2. I want a phone really small and with great cameras... so.. I love the Xperia 5 II. Hahaha you didn't expect that, right? But in my country it cost 2.5x the S21. So... I guess the S21 will be my next phone. Really nice video, I have susbscribed, so... see you soon!
A review that actually applys to the average consumer. Keep this up and you will be the only original/ useful big tech channel on RUclips

I have the same question 👌💯
S21 is pretty good and I'll say go for it !

Bought it and I really like it. Coming from a Xiaomi mi 9. Look is great. Size is for me good balance. And price is right. No regrets
Nice Review 😎👍🏻. I got 5h - 6h batterlife with the exynos on darkmode. I really like the S21 😄
Which refresh rate are u using??
Great review. S21 battery life seems to be so so this year despite more efficient cpu and adaptive refresh screen
Give the AI some time. It took me a week before I was getting really good battery life. The phone has to adjust to your usage
@@cassijoanna Can we have a "before AI adaptation" and "After AI adapt'" please ? So the difference between the new phone and the 1 week old phone
