Samsung Galaxy S21 FE vs S21 Unboxing and Camera Test Comparison
While I need to more time for a Full Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G review I thought I would go beyond the standard Galaxy S21 FE Unboxing and first look to do a Galaxy S21 FE vs Galaxy S21 comparison with a Camera Test. I know alot of people will be looking at Galaxy S21 vs S21 FE because the price is so close so lets see if the new Galaxy S21 FE Camera can beat the Galaxy S21 Camera.

Is the pricing right on the Galaxy S21 FE at $699?
I don't think so... 599 would have been a good price
Though it's a great all-round phone...it's a refined s21
No don’t think so compared to xiaomi 11T pro and vivo x70 pro
Considering you can get an s21 plus for the same price now, who would be crazy to buy this. The s20 fe is basically the same phone but slightly slower for almost half the price currently If you look around
Tell me why would I buy this at 699 when i just bought S21 at same price from Amazon with better specs
Happy new year !! Cant wait to see full comparison
Happy New Year!! 🎉 Hoping to see a camera comparison of the s21 Fe with exynos 2100 and Snapdragon 888 💯
The photos on the S21 FE is good enough for me. I might upgrade to this phone but I'll wait until after the S22 releases coz maybe Samsung will have promos and deals that will lower the price of this phone.
Me too if s22 price is right I'll go for s22 But if there is a big price gap between them then s21 fe make sense
The only three things you'd want to consider this over the S22 series are FHD vs QHD, plastic over glass, and 50MP over 12MP. I think the S21 FE is a more reasonable buy once the price drops just right.
@@joelconolly5574 only s22 ultra gets the qhd option also cameras are just the same and for good price plastic back can be ignored i have s8 with glass back alwyas used a back cover still got a little crack
Well s21 + will drop prices for sure after s22 get announced wich makes s21fe pointless
@@mouadtalbi4170 in my region s21 is exynos and if s21 fe will be launched with exynos then whole s21 series is s no no for me then ill wait for s22 and if still exynos is inferior to snapdragon even with amd gpu then with heavy heart the company i hated the most will be my only option
S21 has gone through some camera improvement throughout all these updates. Approximately after 2nd or 3rd update prior to Android 12, the oversharpening has been toned down, the result of tele/crop camera is definitely better, the notorious background noise has been cleaned out. Rather than thinking not having real tele lens, I find the S21 tele/crop camera to be handy for landscape in bright sunlight as 2nd wide lens. It does retain much more detail and I'm delight to know the tele lens is a non tetra pixel one, so a pure 64mp camera with too little pixel size.
The price for the s20 FE was also 699. It only started selling when the S21 vanished from inventory. Or there was a significant deal through the carrier. The price never made sense. And it still doesn't this time around with the S21 FE. It should have been priced at 579.99. 20 less than the Pixel 6 and perfectly placed between the A52 and the S21+ 5G (S21 EOL) and the upcoming S22 replacements.
Some have said that the Pixel 6 was picked this way on purpose. But the Pix l was released first. And if Samsung had any clue they would have priced it competitively.
Thank you for this comparison. I really appreciate your job! You compare every ditail, and it's exactly what I was looking for.
I'm picking this up to review in Navy today. Stoked! I wish more phone had the solid plastic backing. Cleaner and is lighter.
I'm waiting for this video didn't expect that it came out this fast 😃
Happy New Year 🥳. Great content as always 👍🏻
Awesome video bro!
I was waiting for this comparison.thanks Danny
Thank you, Danny, for the excellent unboxing and camera test. The S21 FE looked so much more natural than the S21. There is not a perfect phone camera or cameras out there. All are a series of giving and taking. At this point, in the last ten days of January, with the launch of the S22 series on February 7th or 8th, the play would be to wait, see what Samsung brings to the table, and what discounts they are willing to make with the S21 FE. Having Android 12 on board, with three OS updates and four years of Security updates, is a huge plus. The photos were excellent, the town looked beautiful. Take care.
Happy new year Danny. From Dani in sweden 😀 always enjoying your rewievs. Greatb Job. They shouldnt call it Fe anymore No sd card slot 😔 dissapointed.
Appreciate the unboxing, I awaiting the arrival of my S21FE and was concerned that I might need to purchase a Cable. Thank you for showing a Cable comes with! I did order Aohi Charger...hope it is compatible. I Subscribed!
Happy new year!
Happy New Year Sir!
Thank you for reviewing this! Honestly, I only trust your reviews haha
very thorough review! thanks for your dedication
The day a Danny Winget vid drops = better than christmas for me. So stoked for this episode!! (even though I know I'll stick to my Note20Ultra until something really nice comes along)
Awesome video! Very nicely edited and organized, I’m going to wait for the s22 to come out then buy a cheaper s21. Thank for the video!
In Finland there was already a carrier specific pre-order deal for S21 FE, got the 128Gb Snapdragon variant for 499€ with free Buds Live earbuds. Mad deal, wait for sales, don't buy this at full price.
In Denmark theres a Cartier deal for 380 dollars for the 128 gb and 460 for the 256 gb both with buds live
Do you recommend getting the deal? My dad needs a phone with good camera, but doesn't want to pay 1000 euros.
Lol, there is no concept of carrier deal in India....I wish we had one....you guys are lucky 🎉
This is the best camera comparison I have seen.
Don't know how truly relevant this is with the actual... but nice one👌👌👌
Subtle, but nice improvements and would prefer most of the FE pictures, especially portrait and 3x.....NICE !
^I think that samsung should drop the FE title and instead call it the samsung galaxy s21 lite, there's nothing Fan edition about a phone that doesn't come with an SD card ,charger, and a headphone jack and certainly for the price samsung is asking for this device I'd rather buy the xaomi 11 T pro it is unfortunate that the pixel is not available in my country but there are great phones that are cheaper and they are of great quality.
S21+ lite is suitable 😂😅
S21 shoots incredibly detailed 64MP photos in good lighting conditions while S21 FE can't. This is a huge deal-breaker when it comes to shooting people or scenery that you want to zoom-in on a large screen. It's pity that so many KZhead reviewers simply ignore the powerful 64MP mode of S21 (as well on A52, A52s and A72).
Ive been wondering that same thing. I have the 64mp option on my s20 and its great. dont know why all reviewers ignore it.
guys it has a 64 MP telephoto . it has a primary sensor of 12mp. that's y every you tuber has ignored it
@@zeissgaming9181 , it has a 64MP camera used as a telephoto by cropping the center of the image. But you can shoot very impressive 64MP photos with its full frame nearly identical to the main camera except that it captures a lot more detail. In good lighting conditions S21's 64MP camera beats the 108MP mode of s21 Ultra and the 50MP mode of Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, because it has more realistic colours and keeps the details same across the entire image, whereas the Mi 11 Ultra is only sharp in the center and the images gets blurry near the corners. Not to mention the very yellowish tint of Mi 11 Ultra that do require manual post processing in a graphics program, and that its battery gets drained extremely fast while shooting photos and videos.
@@AutomotiveCNC no. it has 1.1x tele zoom which is extremely lesss zoom and is identical to that main sensor without zoom.
@@zeissgaming9181 did you read his comment? Yes it's 1.1X optical zoom, but it crops the center of the image to substitute an actual telephoto camera because the resolution of the sensor is so high
Happy new year bro
Incredible review with great examples and detail. Subscribing!
👍👍👍😁😁🙏🙏 Good review man..
Hi! Awesome video! I think the price is too high. Most people will wait for the price to go down or choose the S21. And the real Samsung fan will wait for the S22 and pay the full price. But I think this indicates us that the S22 line will have a much higher price compare to last year.
I just buy s21fe now price 520 us hong Kong Kong dollar 3998 I buy is a good phone I am happy to watch movie on my Samsung s21 fe now
The s21 fe is actually pretty impressive .
S21 FE is a beast. Upgraded from an S9 and I was worried about it but now that I have phone in hand it's 110% worth it. Only thing I will miss is my LED notis and curved screen.
Lol I upgraded from a a10s You can imagine
@@Unaveragemoe I have the a10 rn but in about a week I will be on the s21 fe. Super happy
@@nzcooperclan9013 how is it?
Same bro upgraded from S9 and I miss the curved screen and I still carry my S9 as my secondary with me. It was perfect.
bro same i have a Note 8 and want to chose this S21 fe, but i feel im going to miss the s pen and curved screen, a bit of a downgrade maybe, what do you think
S21 fe is good🔥 ... i bought s20 fe recently and i loved it.. The camera produce beatiful photos. So i might pass the s21 fe...i maybe upgrade after 3-4 years.
Danny, Do you think S21 can replace Sony Mirrorless ZV 1 for product show case and Vlogging?
Please do a Camera comparison between the S20FE and S21FE. Also, include Super slow motion shots if possible.
In Holland it is currently priced at 573 euros which is a more fitting price. This is because the S22 just came out. Thanks for your review. I decided to buu the S21 FE.
Happy nu year bru
how was the temperature after recording? Which one ran hotter?
Love you Danny ❤️
I have the s20 fe 5G, great series of phones especially if you live in an exynos region. There's no reason to upgrade for me in the near future.
thank you soo much :)
With 21 FE it is the best phone on the market at the moment, price quality, a few updates will be better than 90% of all phones on the market, let's not forget that it has a snapdragon 888 which is traditionally better than all Samsung exunos
Would be interesting to see the camera comparison video between S21 vs S21 FE vs S20 FE
Obviously the s21 and s21 fe have better camera
@@godtieranime843 Ofcourse. But wanted to see how the S20 FE camera will stack up against the other 2 smartphone cameras
Happy New Year!
10:21 the same dark spot appeared the left ear on both image, S21 FE happened to coincide with the rear ground dark spot, that's what happened
If a UFO was in the sky, I think I would prefer to have the S21FE to capture an image or video, this reason alone is good enough for me to by it. Great review.
Considering you can get an s21 plus for the same price now, who would be a fool to buy this. The s20 fe is basically the same phone but slightly slower for almost half the price currently If you look around
If you buy the S21 FE over S21+ you'll get an advantage of a year of OS update🤷
@@saberejda2002 I'd pick the better hardware over the additional year of software upgrade.
@@palooza0069 if your phone isn't supported anymore for updates basically it just means your phone is dead
S20 fe still gives you a charger and SD card slot (s21 fe do not have it anymore, as it was removed). For me I'm from outside of the US and South Korea, we are getting the exynos version, but I'm not sure why s20 fe in my country is snapdragon but s21 fe is not and that's why this is my current phone
@@saberejda2002What? No it doesn't 😂 You can still use the phone. I'm using s21 rn and I plan to use it for at least 2 more years even tho it'll stop getting updates next year
Thank you for your review. The S21 FE will be an excellent product if it's 599$ or 549$.
It should be cheaper, and should have SD Slot, and they should have got rid of 6Ram 128GB, as this is what you get with A52/A72.
True that 8gb RAM is minimum for a high end phone.
100% agreed
The only this is Samsung going to listen, and the answer probably NO.
They launched it too late. S21 can be had for about the same price as a S20FE through carriers in Canada at the moment. Once all the S21 are gone the S21fe will sell when compared to S22 prices. The S21 Ultra and S21+ are almost sold out in Canada. Maybe it will raise the price of the S21again once on the market. Who knows.
Interesting. The FE seems to have slightly oversaturated pictures. Are they following after Apple with the odd, color inaccuracy?
What game is it that hes playing at 2:35. Also just brought the 21fe got mine for 399 plus tax. It arrive tomorrow sure itll be a big difference upgrading from a galaxy s9.
please tell me which android is installed on both phones at the time of video creation?
What kind of state and city? Cool review👏👏👏
Danny Winget love your videos
The tele photo on s21 is digital zoom, while it's optical zoom on s21 fe.
2:51 the s21 has an ultrasonic fingerprint, the fe has an optical so its abit slower
That FE is TGDH. I bet Samsung is pushing us to buy the S22 instead. Thanks for this vid Danny, beautiful and precise as alway.
Marketing strategy 😂
Yeah actually it's just a perfect way for them to manipulate the pricing for the next version of the phone. There's really no practical reason for anyone to buy this phone over at the s20 FE or the s21. And we know carriers will probably be giving this phone away in 6 months
Do a comparison with the S 20 fe when it gets updated to Android 12. I think that will show the true differences between them 👀👀👀👀👀👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
this
S21 vs s21 which one would you recommend, battery and camera are very important 
Im gonna wait for s22 price and if the price is right I'll go for s22 But if there is a big price gap between them then s21 fe make sense
You did great I want to change 21 to 21FE what would say?
Any heating issue with s21 fe ?
Please can you do camera test comparing pixel 6, fe and iPhone 13 pro
you should compare it with iphone 13 and google pixel 6 too Sir. it's nice video, thank you
The name of that game you were playing back there please I wanna try it😁🙏🏾
Please do S20FE vs S21 FE for camera comparison ^^
The s21 or s21 ultra is still a much better phone than the FE. Especially the cameras. The s21fe uses an optical fingerprint reader. The s21 and s21 ultra use an ultrasonic fingerprint reader that can read through thin rubber gloves
In India S21 is 65k while s21fe is 55k. Which one's better as per the price point?
@@nishilbright2007 s21 in any version is a flagship. FE's are cheaper versions in essence. Better than A models but still, worse than flagship ones.
@@nishilbright2007 fe, it has a bigger battery and bigger screen. I have the phone and it's very comfortable for one handed use. Every thing else is basically the same besides the finger print scanner and telephoto lens and cameras as seen in the video are different
Here in my country s21 still at 60k while FE at 40k why would I pay for 20k more for ultrasonic finger print lmao 🤣 As I watch the review the difference is not much worth for 20k, so I wait to lower the price atleast to 35-38k Before I buy.
S21 fe is better in cameras🤣 and better antutu score, so it's stronger when playing games 🤣
The purple looks amazing
How much screen on time do you get? The most important question 😃
I was originally worried about the low resolution of the main sensor, but that's pretty much mitigated by including a telephoto.
I think I would go for Note 20 Ultra since the price dropped significantly from last year. 🤔 . Excellent review Danny. I just subscribed.
What's the touch sampling rate on s21 or s21+?
Where did u download that wallpaper from?
watching on S21 FE bought for $ 380, newly sealed box with warranty and invoice from buyer, I also sold the old S8 for $ 150.
ohh this phone looks really good but i was planning on buying the a72.. which is better to buy? this or the a72?
The FE should have been $599 would have given the Pixel 6 some good competition.
That what I said
Yeah, especially since we know they will drop the price in a month anyway. Is probably less.
What game were you playing during unboxing?
Does the telephoto camera on the Galaxy S21 FE have OIS?
Dude way with the 70s ZIP Hoodie
Price a bit high. The Galaxy range is already crowded, with more on the way. Best positioning: Good, Better, Best. The old Sears Roebuck formula.
Waited video# 👏
why is the bottom on phones always thicker than the top though ? there's even a speaker in the top bezel so why can't they also make the bottom as thin ?
Seems only apple can make the bottom thinner on iphone but can't ditch the notch!
s22 is now
So sad cause here in the Philippines we are getting the Exynos 2100 variant not the Snapdragon one. 😔
Where are the pricing links???? Are they invisibles?
Would be glad to see S21 FE vs IPHONE 13 Camera Comparison
Its now 580 dollars (538 euros) cause of a 100 euro cashback deal where I live. And I can get it for 480 cause of a giftcard. Is that a good deal then? I need a phone that can multitask well and have a decent camera and battery
If you have to choose S21 FE and I phone 12, which one do you prefer?
Should i replace my one year S21 with s21fe? Simply due to the S21 battery life annoys me so much. The plus version is too big of screen imo
What thath game you play on s21 fe in video?
Which of these two mobiles gives perfect color while making videos inside? Sumsung s21 Sumsung nite 10 5g
How about shutter lag, is that gone from Samsung phones?
I think S21 FE has better photos, but S21 good in video. but I still wait S22 come out so I can buy S20 FE a lot cheaper....
Bro can help me fix my backcamera gives a blur image even if the object is not that far
Is the front cam has auto focus?
Do galaxy s21 fe vs iphone 11 comparison. Nice job btw
Why iPhone 11? Doesn’t iPhone 13 make more sense?
@@dannywinget it makes but i want to see this comoarison because i bought now the 11 and i wanna see wich camera is better
Is your s21 fe is snapdragon or Exynos
superb video
Where is the wallpaper from?
What is the sensor from sony or sansung?
