Went from iPhone 11 to a S21 and I absolutely LOVE it, don't miss my iPhone at all
ooo that’s nice! i’m thinking of switching to s21 too but i wasn’t sure also how did you switch your microchip onto the s21? or charge it too?
@@plantsblossom I believe you can transfer it at apple or stores where youll buy samsung,if youre still unsure please confirm with the staff at either establishment and im sure they give you the answer you need
@@anghelfishie6578 alrighty thank you so much & have a great day! :D
I only miss my iPhone X's battery life!! My S21 drains way too quickly than iphone, i feel... other than that the phone is amazing! Edit: The battery is good now.. it goes through a pattern learning phase for a week.. loving the phone 😁
Same thing (4 years ago lol) I went from iPhone 6 to Samsung Galaxy S8+ and never looked back
Went from s3 to s21+... And felt like a fossil learning to do tiktok.
Same😭😂
Haha
Same lol
Bitcoin is the future,investing in it now willnbe the wisest thing to do expecially with the current rise , for real its very profitable..
I went from an 8 🙄
Oh no, I just realized the learning curve my mother is about to experience. She's upgrading from a s5. That will not be a fun day for me.
I feel this comment so hard 😂 me with my mom!
I feel this with my whole family including grandparents XD Being the tech guy in the family is annoying sometimes.
**fun 6 months
@@Langor oh no fun rest of life
@@motivatedvergil9145 relatable
Watching these as I impatiently wait for my S21 >.
Same lol!
I'm still deciding whether I should buy it or not, lol. I have a Galaxy A71 so it doesn't feel like a big upgrade.
@@sangresolida I’m coming from the original iPhone SE so it’s a huge upgrade for me lol. Sounds like you should wait another year?
@@bunnydream2087 Yeah, that sounds like a good upgrade! Did you get your S21 yet? If so, are you getting used to Android? Some people have "trouble" going from iOS to Android and viceversa. As for me, if I buy the S21 (which would be my first flagship phone, by the way, lol), I'll keep it for as long as I can. I want a durable phone that will receive (relatively) quick software updates for at least two years :-) So, yeah... I'll keep watching videos like this one and trying to decide whether it's worth it or not :P
@@sangresolida I haven’t gotten it yet, getting it sometime next week though. I got the ultra specifically. I’ve switched from iOS to Android before - I used the S7 in the past. I liked using Android, didn’t have any trouble with it. I’d say the S21 is a good buy though. It fixed all the problems of the S20 - it’s a year for Samsung where they tweaked from the previous gen so the S21 is about as perfect as its gonna get. I can’t say the same about next year though. Samsung might try new things again which may make some parts of the phone not ideal like to S20 was with the gimmicky 100x zoom etc.
Watching this as an apple user, ive never seen so many features lol.
Just picked up a 21 Ultra (from iphone10X). Yes you have.
people buy iphone for a brand, not for features
Same, now wanting to buy one Edit: I got it and totally recommend it
Me too 😂🤣😂🤣🤣
@@privacyhelp I wouldn’t say that’s necessarily true, I got an iPhone because I love how everything runs so perfectly on IOS.
The first galaxy I got was a S4. Lasted me a year before I jumped into a pool with it. Got an S5 and loved it. Kept it till the S8 came out and I used that S8 until yesterday! Traded it in and bought a S21+. The phones have certainly come a long way!
And here I am.. still using a S8 😭
@@SwaAsh here I am using a S4 mini. Hopefully will get S20 this christmas
I still have a s6 edge plus😭. My S21 is coming soon
@Joe Moses the only similarity is the company that makes the phone everything is improved from the s3 😂
I still have my S4 from 2012 lmao and it's still kicking. It's my beater phone I use to visit shady websites that I don't want to use my main phone to visit 😂.... idk how tf it's still working but it is.
Calling it “eye comfort” shield sounds like something the legal department demanded. No claims about filtering blue light or preventing eye damage.
@lasthumankind Talk to their legal department. I didn't voice any opinion about whether it works or not, please read carefully before you start calling people blind and stupid.
I know this comment is a year old but I'd just like to mention that many older people may not understand what "blue light filter" means. My elderly relatives always had trouble with that type of stuff. "Eye comfort" is a more universally understandable phrase.
There are just so many things to customize and learn. I love it! I love learning new things and changing my phone everytime
This phone was a lot of money - your tour made me feel much more at ease with the money I spent. Thank you!
i sent like 900 dollars on this phone , i feel reinforced that i just didn't burn that cash
Why you didn't go with S20 Fe?
@@AbdulSamad-ss3dc Because I do NOT know what I am doing and you didn't tell me. After 6 months or so now, I think the phone is too big and heavier than I am used to or like. THAKN YOU for hitting me up.
Thanks, having just got my S21, I found this most helpful. I've also got the Smart LED View Cover, although i'm not too sure what extra features it has to offer?
This video was so well executed. Kudos to you sir. I'm in limbo about getting a new phone( its definitely time though) I love how you just didn't assume the viewer new it all so you cover a great amount thoroughly and articulated it well
dear god android has changed, im using an s8 and this is a whole culture shock for me
Lol
I'm on an s7 and getting the s21 at the end of the week. I've had this phone for 4 years
Lol me too, going from an s9+
And keep in mind S8 is still an amazing phone, all the things it can do, to this day I know I don't use it to its max potential yet
From j516 here 🙂😜
Recently bought my s21+ the tips are very useful. I just upgraded from my S9.
I did too! S9 to s21+ in phantom red
About to upgrade to the 21 from the 9 too
Yo same. I just ordered it yesterday :D
I updated from the s8+
@@mahgwa3938 same 😀
Just bought one yesterday. Sometimes I still get lost in the vast customization in settings. I couldn't find the Vivid mode and it was right in front of me lol. Great vid! Thanks.
What’s that? I’m thinking about switching, but I have had an IPHONE for years!! I know they are going Out!! 😱😱
In the settings there's an option to have the 3 navigation buttons as gestures, kind of like a hybrid between the two. It's my favorite navigation setup since I can have a full screen and have the 3 button function as gestures.
Is it possible to have one of the navigation buttons as a screenshot button like LG has?
@@robertfan332 Nope unfortunately.
@@mistamaog oh ok thanks anyway. I just got the s21plus and its great for texting but the LG was so much more practical fir screenshots. I may switch back to an LG device.
@@robertfan332 I have both the S21+ and LG V60 actually lol. The LG is my main phone because of being more practical. Sad to see they won't make anymore phones😥
@@mistamaog haha cool. Would you recommed the v60? Im big into headphones and bought the Hifiman HE400i and a headphone amplifier the FiiO E18. All that paired with the v30 and music sounds really good. But along the way what I also realized is I love the wide shape of the phone, it's ease of taking screenshots, and how light the phone is, and its manual options in the camera have given me some gorgeous photos. But the texting has become an absolute problem. I've tried many different keyboards and unless im recording voice to text i need to go back and correct every word. I wonder if V60 is better for texting?
This was super helpful! I just upgraded from a S7 haha so things are quite different. I'm hoping on having this phone for the same 6 years that my S7 lasted. I'm excited to try everything you showed :) thanks for sharing 👍
lol! same here! 6 years with S7! bout to order this too. Good to see some people that don't see the need to change their phone almost every year. I have a friend who switches phones like 2 time a year!! there literally ain't much changes happening to phones in just a year.. he needs help xD
Same just got my today
Came from a s7 too lol. These phone's are like Toyotas.
I just got my S21+. Love it so far. Plan to do a lot of things with it.
what things did you do
Excellent video. May I ask which weather widget you're using?
I have the S20, but upgraded from the S7 edge and it's an amazing improvement, have had it for almost a year now and love it.
Upgrading from a Note9. Thank you for going over the gestures. I had no idea the buttons weren't a thing anymore.
You could also turn on the buttons in settings
What buttons? The ones at the bottom (home, back etc)? I have an S8 so I'm kinda confused about the gestures
You should also show the gesture to pass through apps rapidly.. You have to swipe left/right over the "home" bar, it gets you to the app that you've been using before. Another tip that's interesting. Thanks a lot for sharing with us this tips&tricks.
I just have my S20 FE and love it so much. I upgraded from a LG Style 4, so, VERY different. I'm so happy with my new phone
I have the galaxy s21 and it's good, and I just upgraded from my iPhone se 2020
What price for the samsung s 20
Yayy!!
My LG g7 thinq has hardware problems but I love my LG its still working. Unfortunately I nees to buy a new phone and I bought the s21 but it's still.closed in the box cause I don't want to leave my lg g7
This guy is the best! I just got a 21s and this was the most helpful information ever!! Thank you.
Thanks for the video! I followed along with my S21 and feel like an expert now!
Very well done! So many KZheadrs waste a lot of time on things that are not related to the subject. You don't! Your video is informative from beginning to end, without wasting the viewer's time. You speak quickly and clearly. I didn't miss a word. You also kept the screen in focus and in the frame the whole time. You just gained one subscriber and I'll check out your other video. First, I think I need to watch this one again. My brain couldn't keep up.
I got the s21! Where did you get the wallpaper u have as your background on your phone?? I like it
The wallpaper link is in the description
Thank you! That was a really very helpful video!
A great video .. thank you very much ... I had little time to watch but couldn't put it down ... great advice with no frills !!! Mike, Paeroa, New Zealand
Love this s21 so exciting
Exactly like the S10 +. Awesome. Won't be much of a learning curve as I ditch my 10+ and get the 21+.
That was the best info video for my new S21 phone yet. I've watched several but none of them approached it that way. Thanks!
I like how you showcased camera options, i never actually looked into them until now, thanks!
Thank you so much for explaining gestures! My S21 is coming in a few days and I am upgrading from an S7! Had no idea about gestures.
My s7 edge stopped working randomly. Never switched on ever again. So I got a Motorola G50 temporarily until I decide on a proper phone. So I was hesitant to stay with Samsung. But I guess it could have been a faulty battery charger. So in the end I bought the s21. I'm used to Samsung layout. But many new high tech features. However doesn't always connect to wireless earphones 🎧.
"this is your filter thing, please don't use that" YES! thank you!! lol
Lol but how will I compete with the Instagram models?
Battery optimizer tip helped me get notifications back for duo that I hadn't been getting for months. Thnx!
Excellent video! Great job and thanks so much for your very informative video.
Kellen really enjoyed and just reminded me i have much to catch up on and also read on your site.Always enjoy Deb.👌✌
Watching this on my S21. Really like it!
I haven't had a Samsung phone since 199-S, so they is all brand new to me. I feel so much more prepared for this phone now.. This video is soooo cool! Loved all the information it provides. Great job!😍
This was great! THANK YOU!
I got mine in April. Been a good phone. Had a Note 10+. Looking at these features videos makes any of my Samsung phones enjoyable 😉. 10:00 At first I didn't care for Edge Panels. But with my bad memory, 👎Pin to Screen is an awesome feature!16:54 I like that Keep Screen On is cool. When I go to Lock Screen it always turned off too soon for me. But with KSO, if I have notifications, I can read them without going to Home screen.
Perfect! I got it, thank you for clear instructions.
Very informative for getting started. Thank you.
Thank you! Lots of info but I saved this for when my phone gets delivered.
Got my new phone and your tips were really helpful! Thank you!
Looking to upgrade from my S7. This sure going to help me understand this new tech.
Well done. Great work. Cohesive and concise. Thank you.
thank you. just got my s21 and going from a huawei it really helped
Im Right now on my S8+ but im getting the New S21 ultra on thursday, next week!. Really excited.
im on no phone rn but im getting my s21 in 3 days
I changed from an iPhone XS to the s21. Loving it.
This was really helpful. Thanks for sharing
Yeah, good to see you back, man. I missed your reviews 😎
Hello, what weather widget are you using? looks nice and clean 1:00
(This video basically just lists and explains the settings page, and features of the phone) 1. Security and information (e.g. Lock Screen, always on display) 2. Display settings (e.g. dark/light mode, frame rates) 3. Sounds and vibration 4. Advanced features (e.g. side key, motions and gestures) 5. Battery (e.g. more battery settings) 6. General features (e.g. autofill) 7. Home Screen (e.g. long press, navigation) 8. Notification panel (e.g. customising) 9. Camera (e.g. customise camera settings)
Great video! Would you recommend upgrading from a Galaxy A71 to the S21?
Love your videos dude, really informative! Which weather widget is that? Anyone know?
I have my s10e and I'm gonna be upgrading in a few months! I'm kinda excited!! And can't wait to customize my phone to the max!!
I have an s10e an s9+ and just got my s21 ultra. It seems pretty solid. Be patient ^^
Just a FYI samsung has trade in programs they will give you 300+ for your phone if you trade it in. I just got 350 trade in value for my S9 and got the s21+ cheaper. You can trade in other brand phones also iPhone,LG, Google etc.
By the way, although very simple this video helped. Many things i completely just missed that's making using this phone easier and better. Makes an iphone like like a toy.
Great video, thank you for sharing. very helpful.
This was some very helpful information. THANK YOU
Just got my 21plus now to see what you have here
Im still going to order my s21 & im soo excited to this upgrade. I currently have a s9+ & im pretty surprised with the différence!
How do you like it? I picked mine up today but my case doesn't come in until tomorrow morning. I don't dare take it out of the box except to charge it
Ok .... good briefing ... will watch again to actually apply all the advice ... many thanks ... nice voice!
Hello thank you for this video, much appreciated. can you inform me where can I find the weather widget which is on your home screen. I love her so much. thank you
Nice one! I picked up an S21 today. Very responsive and beautiful screen. Came to from the an A12. It was nice, but it kept running out of internal memory and would run out of Ram all the time too. It would be also get laggy. Before that, it was an S7 edge. So this is a giant upgrade for me.
Which color ?
I grabbed the S21 after having the S7 it's a huge jump!!😊
Smart switch is the way to go when upgrading from another Samsung phone everything is going to be exactly at it was on your old phone!
What about your Secure Folder?
Yes ! What's about it? Can't find the way to do it
You can transfer your secure folder it will ask you first to put a password because it will be encrypted before transfer and then on the new phone you will have to put that password before it starts copying
s 21
Can you please tell me what widget that is??? The small weather one looks so cool. And also where did you get that wallpaper
I really appreciate this video, I just got the S21 and I made a lot of changes that suit me thanks to you
I've been watching this vid for 3 days now. So much info
I just made a 30 min video run for almost 90 min. I kept pausing and replaying to try and catch up. I'm saving to watch later.
edge panel worth keeping on... for the smart select. Super usefull!
@droid Life. wat weather app are u using? i see the icon on ur main screen. thanks!
Thank you for the very useful tips!
What weather widget do you have???
Went from Pixel 4xl to s21 ultra. One of the first things I had to do is turn on gestures. Been using them since Pixel 2xl,can't live without them.
How do you like the Ultra? Thinking of going to it and leave my Pixel 5 just for the versatility of the camera when hiking the White Mountains or exploring trails in Florida.
I must say this is an excellent video and is very informative to me who is considering the purchase of the Galaxy. Can the photo files produced by the Galaxy be read on my Mac Computer or do I need a Windows Computer? - Thanks
Excellent information. Thank you!
Just got my S21 about two weeks ago. I had a really hard time with the phone recognizing my finger print. Still doesn't read it on the first try. But I did a walk through with your video. Lots of helpful tips. Thank you!!
if you have screen protector, its therefor. i had the same issue but i removed the screen protecter and its working first try every time. i really don't need a screen protecter cuz s21 have Gorilla victus glass and its hard to break :)
@@yasserbaker But who knows... What if you drop your phone, its better to have screen protector rather than broken display.
Make sure to buy the correct screen protector...I have one on mine...no issues!
@@anthonylawson518 I didn't have a screen protector for it at that time. Fingerprint recognizer still doesn't work.
@@iggwhy5380 is it working better after the update?
What is the widget your using for the weather? The cloud with the temp? I really want that!
Did you find out its clean
Did you find out? I wanna know too
Thank you for the video. Can you please explain how you got the weather icon on your homepage? I can only add the weather and time widget and I don't really want two clocks on the same page! Thank you so much.
Thanks man. This was so helpful.
Are there any screen protectors you recommend for the s21? I was interested in getting a glass protector but all the reviews mention how they dont work with the fingerprint.
I have a Note20 Ultra just make sure you register your fingerprints after applying the screen protector and it's fine
It is not working even after getting the glass protector.
Thank you! This was super helpful. I just converted from an S9 and would have missed out on a lot of these settings/features.
I have an S9 plus..and everything that he talked about in the video, except for the adaptive refresh rate and customizing the side key, are already available in the S9/S9 plus
@@i103772 Well, I guess I could have used this video when I got my S9 plus! The gestures thing is definitely new to me, and I really like it!
@@i103772 ikr was thinking the same thing my note 9 has most of these features
going from the s8 to s21+, this was so helpful - thank you
This was supremely helpful, thank you!
The wallpaper is just Amazing!!
I haven't even changed mine yet! I like the stock moving sand so much!
Don’t even own a galaxy s21 and don’t plan to. Just here giving droid life some love with a like and a view
@Gianna Dior ManuelFerrara 😂😂😂
@Gianna Dior ManuelFerrara12 6 😬😬😬
Thank you this helped me a lot
Thanks!! Very awesome guide!!
I have S8+ it's still working, but I got offered a free S21, the only thing I will be sad they are taking my S8+. Thanks for the awesome video I am not so scared of the switch.
My white s21 5g just got here I upgraded from a galaxy s8 which was a game changer i got my s8 the 1st day it came out i got the white s21 I'm not opening it until my case comes in 2 days its twoooo!!!! Pretty looking i wanted the all black sold out😭 but I'm excited ur video is very helpful its alot of new tech 2 explore I take care of my phones I'm probably not gonna upgrade for another 4 to 5yrs lord willn
Good stuff. Thank You!
Thanks,so helpful👍🏾
Watching this while impatiently waiting for my s21 that I just ordered days ago. 🙂
How are you liking your s21?
I’m getting my s21 this weekend, I can’t wait
Me too 👍🏽
How do you like the S21 I’m getting that or the Oneplus 9 my galaxy s9 is on its way out and becoming unreliable so I’m due for a upgrade would this phone be a good upgrade from a S9 regular
Learned alot of things from this video, keep up the great work! 🙂👍, brought my samsung galaxy s21+ for half price and ive been loving it ever since, coming from using a similar ( andriod wise) but yet budget oppo phone, and an 3rd gen apple ipad, i feel so spoilt with all of these amazing features, yet to actually go out and try the camera but its zoom and camera quality is amazing! the phone link is pretty cool too, will defiently be using that more!
Is there a way to swipe to go forward in chrome? As you demonstrate both edge swipe directions take you back which is like, halfway helpful.
Waiting for my s21 ultra to come in so excited never really experienced a flagship in it's prime been used to pretty meh phones most the time n I only recently got an s9+ for cheap tho the battery life has been pretty poor n im really excited to take advantage of the new cameras
How did that work out for you? I absolutely hate it. Not impressed at all
went from iphone 5s to s21+, felt like a survived freezed cavemen came from 4300 BC
Thanks, this was helpful!
Very useful video. Just for my new galaxy S21 5G and watched this video which helped me so much.
Great tips!!! I am getting my s21 after work today.
how much is S21 in your place/ country?
