Review on 📱 Samsung Galaxy S21 5G (SM-G9910) 8/256 GB Smartphone - Phantom Black by Momchil Atanasov ᠌

Pros: 1. Relatively compact and not heavy, but I would like it to be even lighter in weight so that it does not pull pockets. In a silicone case, not much more. 2. Functionality for hardware and software is good (see shortcomings). I haven't mastered the proprietary software yet, so I can't comment. One of the reasons for buying Samsung Galaxy was the optimized software, despite the fact that the Chinese hardware is no worse or even better considering the prices. 3. The Snapdragon processor was chosen as more reliable at peak consumption, although I don’t go out (I don’t play), and more or less comparable to Exinos (there is a comparison of processors on nanoreview. Net). Memory 256 is the maximum set. I plan to use the phone for years (previous 7 years). Cons: 1. Battery capacity is insufficient: loss per day 7-8%, incl. with communication modules disabled. But with economical use (call waiting, chats, dark theme, sometimes the Internet during the day), it will last for 5-6 days, and charging is fast (when charging, I exclude parasitic consumption, charging range is 30-80%, regular auto-optimization of RAM in the OS, turning off modules when not needed, turning off (sleep) the software). 2. The phone was originally not for our (RF) market, so a little more effort is required in terms of installing software and settings (for example, initially there is no 2022 keyboard, and the functionality is less if there is no access to the Internet). 3. There are no pre-installed calculator, voice recorder, notepad and (! ?). At the beginning of use (see paragraph 2), this is inconvenient. 4. There were problems with transferring data from an old ASUS phone with Android 4.4 OS: the phone book was transferred, but there is no archive of messages and calls (files are not recognized), there is a separate song with WhatsApp (this is when you refuse to transfer via the synchronization option to the cloud). 5. Lack of a memory card: now it does not affect, but I'm used to full-featured mobile computers. In addition, it is more convenient and more reliable for consumable storage to have a replaceable, rather than a built-in module. 6. Sometimes eyes get tired in the first minutes of using the phone, but not every time. With other devices, this did not happen or happened noticeably less often. 7. Lack of a 3.5-inch connector - limits functionality, excludes the use of familiar peripherals.
