Review on πŸ“± Samsung Galaxy S21 5G (SM-G9910) 8/256 GB Smartphone - Phantom Black by Kio West ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

The smartphone was recommended to me by a friend. Perhaps, for my tasks, it would be more reasonable to take the S21 Plus on Exynos (if you close your eyes to a slightly worse signal reception), because. I rarely play toys, I started to get used to modern "oars", the SPay version for 2022, the camera on Exynos makes night shots a little better, holds the charge longer and, perhaps, heats up less (although this is inaccurate, because I did not use Exynos devices myself). Well, and so - the device is completely satisfied)))

Pros
  • 1) Excellent communication! 2) Compactness and ergonomics. Now you rarely see flagships with such dimensions on Android))) 3) Performance. Shell, programs, games - everything flies))) 4) Holds a charge well in the cold 5) Camera. Of course, not as super-clear as on Ultra, but enough for everyday tasks 6) Samsung Pay. I really liked it, because the NFC module is turned on immediately before purchase - by fingerprint. While in other applications you have to enable the NFC module in advance for payment. 7) Screen. Sooo juicy :D 8) Stereo speaker sound 9) Built-in caller ID from Hiya 10) Lightweight 11) Two SIM-cards (unfortunately, without eSIM, but it depends on the specific version 12) Plug for charger included 13) Design
Cons
  • 1) Autonomy. Quite unusual after the A71. While it's silly to complain about given the size, the Snap 888 is known for its appetite, and the 120Hz refresh rate screen. 2) Significantly heated even when surfing web pages. But to overheat for all the time of use has not yet led. Let's see what happens in the summer. 3) Still no ate to Android 12 4) You cannot add a MIR card to the foreign version of Samsung Pay 5) Against the background of the Chinese, not too fast charging (25 W), although this did not cause me any particular inconvenience. 6) There is no Cyrillic alphabet in the corporate dialer (However, I didn’t really use it before XD) 7) No MST, although this is already a nitpick, because even in small towns, almost all terminals support NFC.
