Samsung Galaxy S21 5G Smartphone SIM Free Android Mobile Phone Phantom Grey 128GB, (UK Version)

Bought the white S21 in the Prime Day sale with the Samsung cash back offer. Upgraded from an LG G6 which was nearly 4 years old. This is a breath of fresh air. Lovely adaptive screen. Perfectly sized so not too big in a gents pocket. Camera is excellent. Am a total convert to wireless charging which is a nice thing to have. Battery life is very good, but not excellent. By turning on Dark Mode and putting apps to sleep, getting a whole day's worth of battery is easy, but for someone that is a medium to heavy user I usually have 20% left by around 8pm. Which isn't bad by any stretch. Fingerprint reader is excellent and this is one of the features that persuaded me to stick with Android over converting to iOS. Especially when you still have a facemask and the iPhone 12 and above only have fingerprint readers (I think). There is facial recognition with the S21 if that's your thing anyway. Like the look of the white version but was almost tempted by the purple model. It is also highly customisable, which seems daunting at first with all the various options, but a joy to use once all set up, especially the Bixby routines. There are arguably better value sub-£300 handsets out there, but Samsung have smashed this out of the park. If you can get it for around £515, which is what I paid after cashback, then I think you can begin to justify the outlay. Would highly recommend.

I love this phone. My previous phone was a S9+....which I dropped and shattered the screen but it served me well for a good few years so I thought I'd treat myself to a new one. After searching far and wide I settled on this little beauty! It's quick, colourful, easy to use, the camera is fantastic and the battery life is really good. It also doesn't take long to charge either. The only small annoyance is the fingerprint reader. I'm used to having it on the back of the phone but on this model it is on the screen and its a bit hit and miss until you get used to it! It will wind you up for a couple of days! Lol! The good thing about it is that you can have more than one fingerprint to unlock your phone! The other down side is there is no storage card. So if you take thousands of photos you will need to transfer to another device but really that's no biggie. It really is a great phone. I didn't want top of the range as I think paying over £1000 for something that will be pretty much obsolete in 6 months (if you're lucky) is a waste of money. This mid priced phone does everything you need it to do and more. It's also on a reasonable monthly payment plan through Amazon (12 months) so you don't have to pay out all that money at once.

Excellent value for a flagship device. Plastic build aside and yes it feels like plastic instantly. A kinds thin plastic too. But it felt like I was less worried about handling it because of it. More secure. The rims around the whole device and the cameras are all gold finish metal aluminium. Very fast. Crazy smooth. Can't believe I'd be saying this for a Samsung LOL. Beautiful display. Colours, brightness, least bezel around the display for any phone! Solid cameras. As good as the best, if you don't intend to pay over £1000. OIS, hybrid zoom, 4k 60 stabilised, 4k 30fps on all lenses stabilised and lens switching on the fly while recording. The best part about it is it fits very well in the hand and is nice and light. Looks incredible too. Big enough to use for media consumption or social media etc. But not heavy or cumbersome like most other high performance phones. Slow charging. No charger in the box. Glass screen protectors just don't work with the fingerprint scanner, which is otherwise the fastest and most reliable I've used.

Replaced my Samsung s8 with this one, so it's obviously been a big jump. So far, I really like the smartphone and I know it will be a great replacement for my 5 years old s8. However, there are a couple of notes that I must point out to potential buyers. - Battery life: a bit disappointed with the duration of the charge with this one. I suppose it's because of the enhanced screen refresh rate... But still seems very counterproductive to enhance something and not have the rest of the hardware march the enhanced features. - Colour: I went with the white model and was really disappointed in seeing that it was a "matte" finish. I suppose this boils down to personal preferences, however it personally feels "cheap" in terms of looks. No biggie though since I'll have a cover on it anyway. - Missing sensors: really bummed to see many of the great sensors that were on my s8 gone. Between these, I'll def miss the infrared sensor used to measure hearth rate on Samsung Health, which I often found very useful. - No headphones jack, no accessories: last but not least, it was very huge bummer to see how minimal was the content of the packaging. I know it's a course many brands are taking but since the prices are not being reduced accordingly as a costumer I find it very disappointing when I don't find earphones and charger in the box. On an ending positive note though, everything else is stellar. The camera is just flawless, the higher refresh rate of the screen makes everything seem so smooth, and all around using the device is a great experience.

So its new for me and i was worried about the battery drain issue which is mentioned in many places. Did some settings working fine now.lets see in the furure. Camera is good touch is smooth. The back panel is matte so no finger prints. Overall m liking it

Good quality

Bought this phone charging system is faulty. Whenever inserted the charger the phone switched off. Tried to return and it was rejected that I had broken a seal. Please be advised just work to a shop and buy a phone coz if it has a problem you have a granted to be helped. I paid 1000aed for a phone that am not using.. This is so unfair

Had to use CSC Changer to allow my UAE cards to work. But yeah never had any complaints. Good guy.

Perfect working....
