Went from s3 to s21+... And felt like a fossil learning to do tiktok.
Same😭😂
Haha
Same lol
Bitcoin is the future,investing in it now willnbe the wisest thing to do expecially with the current rise , for real its very profitable..
I went from an 8 🙄
Went from iPhone 11 to a S21 and I absolutely LOVE it, don't miss my iPhone at all
ooo that’s nice! i’m thinking of switching to s21 too but i wasn’t sure also how did you switch your microchip onto the s21? or charge it too?
@@plantsblossom I believe you can transfer it at apple or stores where youll buy samsung,if youre still unsure please confirm with the staff at either establishment and im sure they give you the answer you need
@@anghelfishie6578 alrighty thank you so much & have a great day! :D
I only miss my iPhone X's battery life!! My S21 drains way too quickly than iphone, i feel... other than that the phone is amazing!
Edit: The battery is good now.. it goes through a pattern learning phase for a week.. loving the phone 😁
Same thing (4 years ago lol) I went from iPhone 6 to Samsung Galaxy S8+ and never looked back
Oh no, I just realized the learning curve my mother is about to experience. She's upgrading from a s5. That will not be a fun day for me.
I feel this comment so hard 😂 me with my mom!
I feel this with my whole family including grandparents XD Being the tech guy in the family is annoying sometimes.
**fun 6 months
@@Langor oh no fun rest of life
@@motivatedvergil9145 relatable
Watching this as an apple user, ive never seen so many features lol.
Just picked up a 21 Ultra (from iphone10X).
Yes you have.
people buy iphone for a brand, not for features
Same, now wanting to buy one
Edit: I got it and totally recommend it
Me too 😂🤣😂🤣🤣
@@privacyhelp I wouldn’t say that’s necessarily true, I got an iPhone because I love how everything runs so perfectly on IOS.
Watching these as I impatiently wait for my S21 >.
Same lol!
I'm still deciding whether I should buy it or not, lol. I have a Galaxy A71 so it doesn't feel like a big upgrade.
@@sangresolida I’m coming from the original iPhone SE so it’s a huge upgrade for me lol. Sounds like you should wait another year?
@@bunnydream2087 Yeah, that sounds like a good upgrade! Did you get your S21 yet? If so, are you getting used to Android? Some people have "trouble" going from iOS to Android and viceversa.
As for me, if I buy the S21 (which would be my first flagship phone, by the way, lol), I'll keep it for as long as I can. I want a durable phone that will receive (relatively) quick software updates for at least two years :-) So, yeah... I'll keep watching videos like this one and trying to decide whether it's worth it or not :P
@@sangresolida I haven’t gotten it yet, getting it sometime next week though. I got the ultra specifically. I’ve switched from iOS to Android before - I used the S7 in the past. I liked using Android, didn’t have any trouble with it. I’d say the S21 is a good buy though. It fixed all the problems of the S20 - it’s a year for Samsung where they tweaked from the previous gen so the S21 is about as perfect as its gonna get. I can’t say the same about next year though. Samsung might try new things again which may make some parts of the phone not ideal like to S20 was with the gimmicky 100x zoom etc.
The first galaxy I got was a S4. Lasted me a year before I jumped into a pool with it. Got an S5 and loved it. Kept it till the S8 came out and I used that S8 until yesterday! Traded it in and bought a S21+. The phones have certainly come a long way!
And here I am.. still using a S8 😭
@@SwaAsh here I am using a S4 mini. Hopefully will get S20 this christmas
I still have a s6 edge plus😭. My S21 is coming soon
@Joe Moses the only similarity is the company that makes the phone everything is improved from the s3 😂
I still have my S4 from 2012 lmao and it's still kicking. It's my beater phone I use to visit shady websites that I don't want to use my main phone to visit 😂.... idk how tf it's still working but it is.
dear god android has changed, im using an s8 and this is a whole culture shock for me
Lol
I'm on an s7 and getting the s21 at the end of the week. I've had this phone for 4 years
Lol me too, going from an s9+
And keep in mind S8 is still an amazing phone, all the things it can do, to this day I know I don't use it to its max potential yet
From j516 here 🙂😜
This phone was a lot of money - your tour made me feel much more at ease with the money I spent. Thank you!
i sent like 900 dollars on this phone , i feel reinforced that i just didn't burn that cash
Why you didn't go with S20 Fe?
@@AbdulSamad-ss3dc Because I do NOT know what I am doing and you didn't tell me. After 6 months or so now, I think the phone is too big and heavier than I am used to or like. THAKN YOU for hitting me up.
Calling it “eye comfort” shield sounds like something the legal department demanded. No claims about filtering blue light or preventing eye damage.
@lasthumankind Talk to their legal department. I didn't voice any opinion about whether it works or not, please read carefully before you start calling people blind and stupid.
I know this comment is a year old but I'd just like to mention that many older people may not understand what "blue light filter" means. My elderly relatives always had trouble with that type of stuff. "Eye comfort" is a more universally understandable phrase.
Recently bought my s21+ the tips are very useful. I just upgraded from my S9.
I did too! S9 to s21+ in phantom red
About to upgrade to the 21 from the 9 too
Yo same. I just ordered it yesterday :D
I updated from the s8+
@@mahgwa3938 same 😀
In the settings there's an option to have the 3 navigation buttons as gestures, kind of like a hybrid between the two. It's my favorite navigation setup since I can have a full screen and have the 3 button function as gestures.
Is it possible to have one of the navigation buttons as a screenshot button like LG has?
@@robertfan332 Nope unfortunately.
@@mistamaog oh ok thanks anyway. I just got the s21plus and its great for texting but the LG was so much more practical fir screenshots. I may switch back to an LG device.
@@robertfan332 I have both the S21+ and LG V60 actually lol. The LG is my main phone because of being more practical. Sad to see they won't make anymore phones😥
@@mistamaog haha cool. Would you recommed the v60?
Im big into headphones and bought the Hifiman HE400i and a headphone amplifier the FiiO E18. All that paired with the v30 and music sounds really good.
But along the way what I also realized is I love the wide shape of the phone, it's ease of taking screenshots, and how light the phone is, and its manual options in the camera have given me some gorgeous photos.
But the texting has become an absolute problem. I've tried many different keyboards and unless im recording voice to text i need to go back and correct every word.
I wonder if V60 is better for texting?
Just bought one yesterday. Sometimes I still get lost in the vast customization in settings. I couldn't find the Vivid mode and it was right in front of me lol. Great vid! Thanks.
What’s that? I’m thinking about switching, but I have had an IPHONE for years!! I know they are going Out!! 😱😱
I just got my S21+. Love it so far. Plan to do a lot of things with it.
what things did you do
"this is your filter thing, please don't use that" YES! thank you!! lol
Lol but how will I compete with the Instagram models?
This was super helpful! I just upgraded from a S7 haha so things are quite different. I'm hoping on having this phone for the same 6 years that my S7 lasted. I'm excited to try everything you showed :) thanks for sharing 👍
lol! same here! 6 years with S7! bout to order this too. Good to see some people that don't see the need to change their phone almost every year. I have a friend who switches phones like 2 time a year!! there literally ain't much changes happening to phones in just a year.. he needs help xD
Same just got my today
Came from a s7 too lol. These phone's are like Toyotas.
There are just so many things to customize and learn. I love it! I love learning new things and changing my phone everytime
I just have my S20 FE and love it so much. I upgraded from a LG Style 4, so, VERY different. I'm so happy with my new phone
I have the galaxy s21 and it's good, and I just upgraded from my iPhone se 2020
What price for the samsung s 20
Yayy!!
My LG g7 thinq has hardware problems but I love my LG its still working. Unfortunately I nees to buy a new phone and I bought the s21 but it's still.closed in the box cause I don't want to leave my lg g7
Upgrading from a Note9. Thank you for going over the gestures. I had no idea the buttons weren't a thing anymore.
You could also turn on the buttons in settings
What buttons? The ones at the bottom (home, back etc)? I have an S8 so I'm kinda confused about the gestures
@@casie6609 yeah
(This video basically just lists and explains the settings page, and features of the phone)
1. Security and information (e.g. Lock Screen, always on display)
2. Display settings (e.g. dark/light mode, frame rates)
3. Sounds and vibration
4. Advanced features (e.g. side key, motions and gestures)
5. Battery (e.g. more battery settings)
6. General features (e.g. autofill)
7. Home Screen (e.g. long press, navigation)
8. Notification panel (e.g. customising)
9. Camera (e.g. customise camera settings)
Smart switch is the way to go when upgrading from another Samsung phone everything is going to be exactly at it was on your old phone!
What about your Secure Folder?
Yes ! What's about it? Can't find the way to do it
You can transfer your secure folder it will ask you first to put a password because it will be encrypted before transfer and then on the new phone you will have to put that password before it starts copying
s 21
I have the S20, but upgraded from the S7 edge and it's an amazing improvement, have had it for almost a year now and love it.
I got the s21! Where did you get the wallpaper u have as your background on your phone?? I like it
The wallpaper link is in the description
Exactly like the S10 +. Awesome. Won't be much of a learning curve as I ditch my 10+ and get the 21+.
Don’t even own a galaxy s21 and don’t plan to. Just here giving droid life some love with a like and a view
@Gianna Dior ManuelFerrara 😂😂😂
@Gianna Dior ManuelFerrara12 6 😬😬😬
Im Right now on my S8+ but im getting the New S21 ultra on thursday, next week!. Really excited.
im on no phone rn but im getting my s21 in 3 days
Thank you so much for explaining gestures! My S21 is coming in a few days and I am upgrading from an S7! Had no idea about gestures.
My s7 edge stopped working randomly. Never switched on ever again. So I got a Motorola G50 temporarily until I decide on a proper phone. So I was hesitant to stay with Samsung. But I guess it could have been a faulty battery charger. So in the end I bought the s21. I'm used to Samsung layout. But many new high tech features. However doesn't always connect to wireless earphones 🎧.
You should also show the gesture to pass through apps rapidly.. You have to swipe left/right over the "home" bar, it gets you to the app that you've been using before. Another tip that's interesting. Thanks a lot for sharing with us this tips&tricks.
I changed from an iPhone XS to the s21. Loving it.
Nice one! I picked up an S21 today. Very responsive and beautiful screen. Came to from the an A12. It was nice, but it kept running out of internal memory and would run out of Ram all the time too. It would be also get laggy. Before that, it was an S7 edge. So this is a giant upgrade for me.
Which color ?
I grabbed the S21 after having the S7 it's a huge jump!!😊
went from iphone 5s to s21+, felt like a survived freezed cavemen came from 4300 BC
Went from Pixel 4xl to s21 ultra. One of the first things I had to do is turn on gestures. Been using them since Pixel 2xl,can't live without them.
How do you like the Ultra? Thinking of going to it and leave my Pixel 5 just for the versatility of the camera when hiking the White Mountains or exploring trails in Florida.
This video was so well executed. Kudos to you sir. I'm in limbo about getting a new phone( its definitely time though) I love how you just didn't assume the viewer new it all so you cover a great amount thoroughly and articulated it well
As an iPhone user, this review makes me want a Samsung sooo bad
I’m switching from an iPhone 11 to this! Excited!
@@Sevenninefine Do not....i have S21 and the screen quality is not that gr8 as it's FHD only...i'm not enjoying...
@@panksa7853 funny cause i turned right around and got an iPhone 12. I couldn’t do it!
@@panksa7853 Maybe because you have the S21 and not the S21 Ultra
@@Brett_Riley but S21 display quality is not that bad right
Thanks, having just got my S21, I found this most helpful. I've also got the Smart LED View Cover, although i'm not too sure what extra features it has to offer?
Very well done! So many RUclipsrs waste a lot of time on things that are not related to the subject. You don't! Your video is informative from beginning to end, without wasting the viewer's time. You speak quickly and clearly. I didn't miss a word. You also kept the screen in focus and in the frame the whole time. You just gained one subscriber and I'll check out your other video. First, I think I need to watch this one again. My brain couldn't keep up.
Watching this on my S21. Really like it!
Watching this while impatiently waiting for my s21 that I just ordered days ago. 🙂
How are you liking your s21?
Got S21 in 2024 and it's still rocking super! 👌
my s21 is coming soon, I am excited. Will be watching this channel.
Im still going to order my s21 & im soo excited to this upgrade. I currently have a s9+ & im pretty surprised with the différence!
How do you like it? I picked mine up today but my case doesn't come in until tomorrow morning. I don't dare take it out of the box except to charge it
Just got my S21 about two weeks ago. I had a really hard time with the phone recognizing my finger print. Still doesn't read it on the first try. But I did a walk through with your video. Lots of helpful tips. Thank you!!
if you have screen protector, its therefor.
i had the same issue but i removed the screen protecter and its working first try every time.
i really don't need a screen protecter cuz s21 have Gorilla victus glass and its hard to break :)
@@yasserbaker But who knows... What if you drop your phone, its better to have screen protector rather than broken display.
Make sure to buy the correct screen protector...I have one on mine...no issues!
@@anthonylawson518 I didn't have a screen protector for it at that time. Fingerprint recognizer still doesn't work.
@@iggwhy5380 is it working better after the update?
Three seashells! 🤣
Love that movie hah
@@DroidlifeDL yeah... Still waiting on Taco Bell to win those fast-food wars
I have my s10e and I'm gonna be upgrading in a few months! I'm kinda excited!! And can't wait to customize my phone to the max!!
I have an s10e an s9+ and just got my s21 ultra. It seems pretty solid. Be patient ^^
Just a FYI samsung has trade in programs they will give you 300+ for your phone if you trade it in. I just got 350 trade in value for my S9 and got the s21+ cheaper. You can trade in other brand phones also iPhone,LG, Google etc.
I'll have that in 3 years when I can afford it I'm always 3 or 4 years behind lol.
I'm on my s8+ still a great phone as I broke my s10+ and I miss that baby....
Do you have it now
Love this s21 so exciting
I like how you showcased camera options, i never actually looked into them until now, thanks!
Thank you! Lots of info but I saved this for when my phone gets delivered.
Got my new phone and your tips were really helpful! Thank you!
Looking to upgrade from my S7. This sure going to help me understand this new tech.
Just got my 21plus now to see what you have here
I do the 3 lines instead of gestures. It's much easier and takes up the same space as the one at the bottom
Started out with a Samsung galaxy young holy cow have things progressed over the past 10ish years
I have S8+ it's still working, but I got offered a free S21, the only thing I will be sad they are taking my S8+. Thanks for the awesome video I am not so scared of the switch.
I’m getting my s21 this weekend, I can’t wait
Me too 👍🏽
How do you like the S21 I’m getting that or the Oneplus 9 my galaxy s9 is on its way out and becoming unreliable so I’m due for a upgrade would this phone be a good upgrade from a S9 regular
I upgraded from a J7 so this is a huge deal for me. Thank you!
Omg me too lol
i have j7 prime since 4 years and love it lol
Me j7 pro haha to s21+
My white s21 5g just got here I upgraded from a galaxy s8 which was a game changer i got my s8 the 1st day it came out i got the white s21 I'm not opening it until my case comes in 2 days its twoooo!!!! Pretty looking i wanted the all black sold out😭 but I'm excited ur video is very helpful its alot of new tech 2 explore I take care of my phones I'm probably not gonna upgrade for another 4 to 5yrs lord willn
I've been watching this vid for 3 days now. So much info
I just made a 30 min video run for almost 90 min. I kept pausing and replaying to try and catch up. I'm saving to watch later.
Got my s21 today in phantom white and I'm in love
Silver left Apple 11....I’m liking it so far
I couldn`t find this one from our local store and my brother got me this full in retail box from My World Phone
I haven't had a Samsung phone since 199-S, so they is all brand new to me. I feel so much more prepared for this phone now.. This video is soooo cool! Loved all the information it provides. Great job!😍
Finally get to say this!!! Watching this on my S21 Plus! :)
How much did you buy if for?!
@@Iwipemyasswithpalestianflag 900 Canadian. On Kijiji sealed in box
Upgraded from s10 to s21 ultra. It feels amazing
I’m doing that too, what are the differences you notice?
Ok .... good briefing ... will watch again to actually apply all the advice ... many thanks ... nice voice!
I really appreciate this video, I just got the S21 and I made a lot of changes that suit me thanks to you
Thank you! This was super helpful. I just converted from an S9 and would have missed out on a lot of these settings/features.
I have an S9 plus..and everything that he talked about in the video, except for the adaptive refresh rate and customizing the side key, are already available in the S9/S9 plus
@@i103772 Well, I guess I could have used this video when I got my S9 plus! The gestures thing is definitely new to me, and I really like it!
@@i103772 ikr was thinking the same thing my note 9 has most of these features
Why don't you have the categories in the time line
This guy is the best! I just got a 21s and this was the most helpful information ever!! Thank you.
Coming from iPhone XR to S21+, which arrives tomorrow, cannot wait!
please tell me how it is, ive been considering switching to samsung from my xr
@@freyarichards2087 Little bit of a learning curve but other than that, amazing! You should definitely consider it!
@@elliottbaker6129 definitely considering it now thank you!
What is the widget your using for the weather? The cloud with the temp? I really want that!
Did you find out its clean
Did you find out? I wanna know too
Everytime I see a white s21's back it looks like a lighter to me. Anyone else?
Okay, for what I'm doing, you must hear me out; all the way. So, I just bought one of these phones (yes 2 years later) and I was on my sofa searching for info on them; I know too late, I bought it. But anyhow, I watch YT on TV, why wouldn't I? It's a big screen, it's on my Fire Stick so to watch videos on a laptop is crazy; on a phone, insane. So anyway, I just started your video and POOF! Your humor came right out and I love it. You said, "Welcome back...and, it's been a minute....". Now, you know you that was funny and so do I.
Listen here, I paused you at 7 seconds in, got my ass off the sofa and grabbed my laptop, got on YT, went to my history tab so I could find your video because it knows, and even before I have watched it, I had to write you to say, Thank you. That was so damn funny and only those with the type of humor it takes to say it and get it, could ever understand; it's just that casual and just that quick. It didn't take as much effort as your video took you, but it did take quite a bit and it is extremely rare that I would do it. Yes, I have done it before; twice in as many years. Now, I'm going back to the sofa and watch your video.
been using your phone app to control my s20 after after shattered the screen beyond usability and am awaiting my new phone. It's weird controlling my phone on my pc but at least it works
Whats the phone app called?
@@gusc6785 There is no app for the newer Samsung phones I found out instead there is a button above the notifications called "link to windows" that must be turned on
Great tips!!! I am getting my s21 after work today.
how much is S21 in your place/ country?
Excellent video. May I ask which weather widget you're using?
Mine is just 7days old today, been loving the experience still have more to learn coming from A52 5G ™️😊😊
By the way, although very simple this video helped. Many things i completely just missed that's making using this phone easier and better. Makes an iphone like like a toy.
Hello, what weather widget are you using? looks nice and clean 1:00
The wallpaper is just Amazing!!
I haven't even changed mine yet! I like the stock moving sand so much!
Battery optimizer tip helped me get notifications back for duo that I hadn't been getting for months. Thnx!
Yeah, good to see you back, man. I missed your reviews 😎
I have a iPhone 7 and I think I am going to switch to android because I am tired of the same boring shit on iPhone. # Appel I want to have a choice lol
I switched 7mo ago, and as a 9yrs iPhone user, i must admit its the best decision ive ever made. Now i own not just the phone, but also galaxy watch, laptop and tablet😆. The best part i luv about android is dat i get to customize my phone (cute wallpaper on messenger chat, resize the bubble, also able to download diff themes for my phone). My phone also comes in this pastel-ish pink backing and its just so cute!!*scream*😆 Oh did i mention im also able to customize fonts and the font also gets to be integrates onto android auto when i drive. They are just sooooo damn cute im so totally completely officially been converted to an android fan now😊
What weather widget do you have???
Went from s9+ to s21 I love it so far
Upgraded from S20FE to a S21 Ultra, surprisingly I feel a £500 difference 😂😂
Are there any screen protectors you recommend for the s21? I was interested in getting a glass protector but all the reviews mention how they dont work with the fingerprint.
I have a Note20 Ultra just make sure you register your fingerprints after applying the screen protector and it's fine
It is not working even after getting the glass protector.
I just went from the S7 to the S21. thanks for the video!
I just ordered the s21. Upgrading from s7 also. I hope you have good review of it so far
@@blaze2882 I like it so far!
Are launcher applications still popular? I've always just used Nova Launcher so I can have a super clean customizable ui. This is going to be my first samsung
Me watching from an iPhone 12 Pro 😆
23:10 the horizontal thing is one of the best things with OneUI
I finally broke from Apple & moved from my iPhone Xr to a Galaxy S21. This vid really helped get through the initial configuration. Great job!
Any regrets?
@@bbmintah8509 Dawg it's almost a month since I moved from iPhone to Android & I'm legit BAFFLED how Apple has managed to hold on to the top spot this long.
The Android OS is a programmer/tech-nerd wet dream & allows you to design an almost totally proprietary phone experience, which is a refreshing change of pace, as iOS provides no real ability to customize your phone for your needs.
But on a more personal level, I feel angry. I'm an entrepreneur dealing with ADHD, so I'm required to set up very strict rules & structures so I can be productive & responsible during the day. Part of this includes strictly managing my time online so I don't fall into the black hole of RUclips, Wikipedia, etc.
There are a myriad of extensions for Chrome & Windows which help with this but iOS options were limited. Worst part is/was that iOS offered no real way to set up an automation which would be triggered each morning, so EVERY SINGLE DAY I had to rely on self-discipline to keep myself in line & trigger a series of apps to focus.
But now on Android I have Tasker, IFTTT, countless options for automating a "Focus Sequence". Now the morning begins with my S21 putting itself on silent mode, then it triggers an app which blocks distracting websites automatically, it replies to colleagues/friends via text during certain times of the day, puts on a "Focus Music" Playlist on Apple Music & starts a Pomodoro timer.
You may not understand the significance of this if you don't have ADHD, but it's honestly changed my life. I'm legitimately angry at how much tougher my life has been over the past 10 years bc of Apple. It's almost abusive to block apps on your OS which help people dealing w/focus/learning disabilities.
Mine comes in tomorrow, feels like a natural progression from my s10e
Personally have the base model phantom white Samsung S21 5G and I love it and it has served me very well for a few years so far. Hoping I can trade it in for the S23 in February 🤞
Kellen really enjoyed and just reminded me i have much to catch up on and also read on your site.Always enjoy Deb.👌✌
I got mine in April. Been a good phone. Had a Note 10+.
Looking at these features videos makes any of my Samsung phones enjoyable 😉.
10:00 At first I didn't care for Edge Panels. But with my bad memory, 👎Pin to Screen is an awesome feature!16:54 I like that Keep Screen On is cool. When I go to Lock Screen it always turned off too soon for me. But with KSO, if I have notifications, I can read them without going to Home screen.
S7 to S21, excited
Thanks for the video! I followed along with my S21 and feel like an expert now!
edge panel worth keeping on... for the smart select. Super usefull!
Love my s21 but... having a hard time hearing notifications while connected to my Bluetooth it sounds very low at a high volume.
It's probably notification volume is set to zero
Great video! Would you recommend upgrading from a Galaxy A71 to the S21?
Just got mine 4 Christmas
Absolutely LOVE it
Thanks. Sounds like my S9 is doing just fine.
Lmao such a lie
Yeah, but the S21 is even _more_ fine.
It's definitely faster and snappier and the 120Hz screen is pretty great. Not to mention three excellent cameras - and the improved Night Mode is remarkable. Good looking shots in near total darkness. It's like magic.
Plus, Samsung jacked up the trade-in value of the S9 and that reeled me in. No regrets. Even though I wasn't planning on upgrading. Then again, S9 is EOL on OS updates so it was just a matter of time anyway.
Who gives AF about ur s9
upgraded from my s9 to s21+, and im loving my s21+
S9 is amazing...great camera, beautiful display...i just got my s21..and...the display quality sucks...not sharp as S9
