Disappointed with the product, not good for anything.

My impressions of the S21. In appearance, perception, how neatly and elegantly the display is made in the case - I think it's Excellent! Beautiful color Phantom Gray. I definitely liked this device. As a result, what I want to say. Using the phone "premium segment" - I should at least get "quality! ". I felt myself in the role of a beta tester, who took part in beta testing in his own day ! You evaluate your Smartphones according to the market, that is, at a price comparable to an iPhone. But you don't provide the same quality! Yes, and this is not about Android or iOS. Now we are talking about your branded Samsung applications and software that your company develops and supports. ADVERTISING Embedded advertising from Samsung. I attached a "screenshot" to this review . so if you open the 'Internet Samsung' browser and click on the browser line, a window appears with an advertisement from 'poisk. Ru' - this is mail. Ru And this very window cannot be removed by any settings. I understand that paid Samsung to install search queries from on Android. Google also pays Apple. Each of the users simply chooses the search engine that suits us and continues to use it. But why, when using built-in applications, do I additionally get ads with "popular search queries" from mail. Ru? - I repeat that this plate with advertising can not be removed in the Settings. That is, I have to pay about $ 1,000 for your device, so then watch ads inside your applications? Will I buy again a Smartphone from the global company Samsung? Definitely - NO! Thank you all for your attention!

Pros
  • These are the first impressions after four days of using the phone. The phone was only used for everyday surfing, camera testing and calls. It's about my experience with this wonderful device. When I first saw it in the Store and felt it, I immediately liked it, unlike the iPhone 12 (and I thought I would buy an iPhone 12), but as a result, the choice fell on the S21 because I wanted to try Samsung :) The phone lies confidently in the hand, it is comfortable to hold! There is no feeling that you are holding slippery glass, as is the case with the iPhone XS (XR) and similar models, which is about to slip out. Plastic "polycarbonate" is more like slippery glass. (I use my phone without a case) It is convenient to use with one hand (talking about the width). In length . when you reach to the very top of the screen - you yourself understand, here you can’t do without intercepting your hand :) Smooth interface 120 hertz! Works well under the on-screen fingerprint scanner. Face unlock is ok. In low light, it does not unlock on the face. It is convenient that there is a customizable function "when unlocking by face - immediately open the main screen. " In iPhone, you need to swipe every time to get to the main screen. According to the photo, it does not unlock as it was earlier in the S10e - already good :) Face ID on iPhone is much better. Good daytime photos in daylight. Smooth video. Quality screen. But the color calibration is "pull out your eye", only on "natural colors - you can say that" Good " I like the color calibration on the iPhone screen more, although the screens are from Samsung! like this!
Cons
  • I want to note that I will not list such things "like - dislike", but I will only talk about bugs that are visible to the naked eye! " - operation of the Camera in a poorly lit place (video recording) in a room with a table lamp at the time of recording Video - starts to slow down / lag (micro friezes appear) it feels like the fps has dropped from 30 to 5 - 10 fps, and as soon as a normal light source appears, it immediately becomes smooth as it should be - Camera operation in a poorly lit place (photos) if you turn on the "Camera" application and select the "Photo" mode, then in a poorly lit place "when the camera turns smoothly" it starts to lag on the screen "as if the fps drops from 30 to 5 - 10 fps" this is clearly visible. on the iPhone everything works perfectly in poor lighting conditions! smooth as it should be :) - if in a poorly lit room where a table lamp is literally a couple of meters away, turn on the "Camera" application on the Smartphone - then the screen becomes bright enough, and if you minimize this application, "then the sufficiently strong brightness in the "Adaptive mode" changes to less bright . . and this very transition is made in such a way that it blinds the eyes! (that is, it is not comfortable for the eyes! ) Dear Samsung Engineers, who are responsible for the operation of these functions, please see how smoothly the increase in brightness is done in the iPhone this list can go on and on, but why, these two points are enough to understand that 8 months have passed since the release on January 14, 2022, and such obvious and, in my opinion, significant bugs have not been fixed! talking on Chat with "Samsung" consultants. they said that the operation of the Camera and the "Adaptive mode adjustment" with a sharp increase in Brightness is normal work! that's how it should be :)
