Sorry this took a while 😅 But hope this comparison helps! 
TL;DR: probably get the flagship S21 👇🏻

I recently got the S21FE with 256GB storage and 8GB RAM. It has been excellent so far after I turned off background usage permissions for most apps. That extended my battery life a whole extra day. I definitely prefer the tougher plastic back over the glass backed phones.

Brilliant video, thanks ! We have the Snapdragon 888 processor here in the UK too, on the S21 FE 5G edition.
The S21 5G would be physically too small for many too, folks are edging to the larger screens !
There are VERY cheap contract buys here now in the U.K. for the FE edition - the total cost for the contract ( excluding data/minutes/texts ) comes out at £240 for the handset, paid over 24 months ! !

Great video, will wait for the S22 to arrive and see what happens with the pricing etc and take it from there, will be good to see a S21 FE vs S22 video later this month

Coming from an S10E, picking up a S21FE with 4 years of software updates for ~$400 is a steal imo.

[Geo-Media]

I got the S21Fe due to its bigger screen size, it being new compared to buying used for the s21 for cheaper it came with a couple free extras from samsung direct, free YouTube premium, Spotify premium, even free SiriusXm radio for 6 months free with FREE galaxy buds live. Coming from the stylo-6 it was a huge upgrade and a no Brainer for me

For me the S21FE had the best timing. I bought it in december 2022 (almost 1 year after it's launch). I got it for 500 euros and it serves me everything I need. Is snappy and has a beautiful screen, good camera, wireless charging, DEX. and a decent battery. So everything that a flagship phone has that I care for. But the number one reason I prefer it over the S21 (except the price) is the chipset. Here in Romania we used to have only Exynos until S23, and the FE has the SD, which is way much better. For the rest.. selfie camera, plastic back, 8k video (who needs 8k on a smartphone let's be realistic) ... I don't care.
It's still snappy after 9 months.

Athough in America the S21 might seem like the logical buy, in Europe (Greece specifically) you can find the S21 FE for like 100€ cheaper than the S21, plus the normal S21 has the Exynos chip while the FE has the snapdragon one. Personally i went with the S21 FE because of these two factors plus the extra year of software and security updates.

Good comparison. The only thing that makes me want to go for the FE is the screen size. For me 6.4" is the ideal size while 6.2" is just a bit smaller than ideal. Also the S21 FE is now being discounted more. Really the only trade off is the lack of a dynamic refresh rate screen and the slightly weaker cameras.

[asadfarraj]

I was just thinking about ditching the S21 FE to go for the S21 now, as it is available cheaper than the FE. I'm happy with the purchase, it doesn't feel like I'm missing out anything.

[Zed-hmvk]

in Malaysia, the S21 and S22 are sold at the same price of Rm3499 (approx 836$), whereas i bought my S21 FE at RM2700 (645$) so i would call that an absolute win, the S21 prices dint drop even though the S22 is already out. i am so happy i got the S21 FE.

[Reaperguy]

Personally I whould get the s21 if I wasn't on a budget. When it comes to the other phone, that one is great for people on a budget. Keep up the great work.

[martinpearson]

The reason I got the s21 fe is samsung was offering a deal that could not be beat anywhere the s21 was offered. I got it for around $50 after trade and got samsung buds pro included free.

[JSebastien.]

I think you didnt realize when you did the video but the s21 fe seems to have 2 sims to it when you took it out it said 1 on one side and 2 on th3 second side so they might be back to back like ÷ the devide side each dot is a card :) around 3:25 on the video 😊

[chrisg]

The 21 fe will offer much better value when comparing contracts with s22 and will keep dropping.

[rizlciz]

Ayy i been waiting for this, lets goo. Love the content dude

[marufio]

The 21 fe is the perfect size at 6.4 compared to the 6.1 of the s22 which is too small and the battery too is small for a flagship

[OhHeyItIsNano]

Despite how old this video is, I did get one good peice of info from it in combination with a random comment. Toggle off background usage for most if not all apps despite what phone I have. Thank you. 👍

I have choosed the FE because regual version in Europe has Exynos while FE has Snapdragon, FE also has bigger battery.
