A very high-quality product, I take it not for the first time.

I am a simple person with simple requirements:
-android (plus, a working play market)
- tolerable camera
- good battery
- screen diagonal is not more than 6.2 inches.
Nothing supernatural, but the modern market does not think so. So finding an adequate non-shoveled phone is quite difficult, even if you are not particularly limited by the budget, which for me, as a curmudgeon, is outrageous. In fact, I have already resigned myself to the need to give millions for a quality product, but there is practically no such thing. What the heck?!
Last time, the search led me to Huawei p10, which still serves me faithfully, but, unfortunately, of course. I would buy this model again and again for the rest of my life as the existing smartphone wears out.
This time, a thirty-hour search led me to the Samsung s21. For me, this is the best that was at that time on the market. I do not regret the time and money spent. I clearly have predictive power, as I decided to buy out of the blue in the first days of January 2022, assuming a rapid rise in prices and a shortage of goods.
﻿

Pros

1) Battery. Without a SIM card, with a Wi-Fi connection and the power saving mode turned on, it was discharged by 18% in 43 hours. Screenshot attached. I don’t want to work for wear and tear and I don’t force it, but I think it will pull through active use during the day without problems. 2) Heating. I write only for the reason that many have focused on this. I am not fond of games, this is not necessary, because there is a viber that can bring anyone to a boil, including a phone. Personal experience - the phone heats up from viber calls, but so much so that it is completely unworthy of mention. In my opinion, there are no problems with this. 3) Camera. I am not a photographer, the handles are crooked, so the camera must be good to compensate for my incompetence. My amateur opinion: a good camera. Not ideal, but I wouldn't complain. I don’t know how much this will help to objectively assess the capabilities of the camera, but I’ll attach pictures of my cat. Purely to brag about the cat. 4) Screen. I can’t say for sure, but the diagonal is about 6.3 inches. It just needs to be accepted. For the average user - a good screen. I'm not at the level to go into details. 5) Fingerprint scanner. Right on the screen, very convenient. No complaints. 6) Color. What nonsense - to pay extra 5k for a color, I was indignant and bought a purple phantom (at that time, if I'm not mistaken, the most expensive color). Women. Say hello to the toad. The color is gorgeous, but now lavender has appeared - true magic.

Cons

1) Not an original remark, but - there is no headphone port. I'm an adult, I'm in my third decade, where do I get your high-tech wireless frills?! And now, pray tell, how can I now watch Turkish TV shows at work without a finger? I will not succumb to this changing world. 2) There is no charging plug included. A trifle, but unpleasant. The supplied wire requires the purchase of a specific plug, since this is not the usual type C - USB connection, but type C - type C. Maybe I fooled with cardboard, but in my opinion this is never an environmentally friendly solution. 3) The screen is dirty. They talk about it, but hardly anyone will use it without a protective film / glass / case. In that case, it doesn't really matter. 4) Design. Here for me the main criterion is practicality. The edges of the screen are not bent (not a curved display) and thanks for that) But I'm worried about the protruding block with cameras. While the lenses are intact, nevertheless I worry about their fate.

Pros: Workmanship, camera, processor, excellent screen. Has some cons The battery drains quickly, even with not very active use of the smartphone. The upper part of the case heats up periodically.
