I have exynos variant of this and using close to 200 apps on this currently and still it runs pretty smoothly. Can easily rock this for another 2 years.

I just bought a S21 Fe last week for $200 it's the Snapdragon 888 variant. It was worth it since it look brandnew, no scratches or any dents.

According to GSMArena telephoto lens has only 1.1x optical zoom and combined with a crop it produces 3x hybrid zoom. I think that's why it's 64MP

The Samsung Galaxy S21 will also get updated to Android 15, so it's still a phone worth buying in 2024.

To enable Wireless PowerShare on Samsung S21:

1. Go to *Settings* > *Battery* > *Battery care*
2. Tap on *Wireless PowerShare*
3. Toggle the switch to the *On* position
4. Confirm that you want to enable Wireless PowerShare by tapping *Turn on*

Make sure your phone's battery level is above 30% to use Wireless power share

4:55 to set up the power sharing just go to settings and search "wireless power sharing" or enable it from the control panel, it usually is off by default or may not be even listed, just add it with the edit icon.

Besides the battery life this phone runs like a beast. I Remember taking pictures even the iPhone gang in the familiy would be jealous of the picture quality.

I just grabbed a S21 + for my Mom for Mothers day. I got it from Swappa for $200! It was an upgrade from her Galaxy S8+ and she really likes it!

Came here cause i ordered a pre-loved s21 5G yesterday

Flagships from the s10 era onwards still work very well performance wise. It just depends on how the battery performs/whether that has degraded. Agreed about the plastic backs vs glass though considering 95% of us put phones in a case glass backs seem fairly pointless but does sadly allow manufacturers to add another 10% to the price for using "premium" materials.

Go to settings and battery then navigate wireless power sharing then click on, you have to on it anytime you want to use
Thats how to use the reverse wireless charging

I'm still using a S9. So yes the s21 is still good 💯💯

[yuanfurbax]

8:27 no wrong
yes if you just look at the 12mp and the 64mp pic not a difference only in color maybe
but when you start zooming in you can easly 100% see way clearer. if you don't you need different glasses

[jackwilson]

64MP 3x zoom camera has a significant advantage- you can digitally zoom further without losing quality. It is pretty obvious, so don't know why you said high MPX camera is there for "no reason".

love your content, as a kenyan on a budget which would you advice i get. this or iphone 11?

Honestly before even watching the video with answer, when sooo many people are still using and bragging on the s21 FE and how outstanding that one is still going for everyone these days, it's just an easy automatic Yes, the even better true galaxy s21 is bound to be even more worth it.
I have an s23 fe and it's been the best phone I've ever had hands down, even though the last phone I had (galaxy a52s) was a snapdragon, now I see what most people are saying the last year about new Exynos especially since the s24... it's real, real simple, Exynos went from bad/mid to straight up amazing just as well as Snapdragon for the most to all part. Of course, the newest gen of snapdragon has risen way above though forsure and that's the best you can get today still, but new 2023/2024 Exynos is outstanding more than enough. I guess some people arguing against it so hard are just stuck in the past not giving it a chance.

[runekai]

thank you for this video.. as someone who is thinking to buy the S24.. it seems like my S21 is still pretty upt o date in 2024.

i just got 2 s21 for me and my son been useing s10 that was beat up for years so we got s21 180 perfect con love it so far no need for s24

[okcool]

Still have the exynos variant. Runs super smooth. Have it since release. For the reverse wireless charging you just have to enable it in settings in your charging options. For the zoom camera its a digital zoom so the 64mp camera image is cropped in. Its not a optical zoom. Samsung did this so that you can take 8k videos and still have a 12 mp primary camera. 8 k vids a filmed from the 64 mp camera. Otherwise very good video. I hopefully will use my s21 till end of software support in early 2026
