WIRED Great performance. Reliable and versatile cameras. Day-long battery life (and a little more). Bright, 120-Hz AMOLED screen. Wireless charging. TIRED Awkward timing; the Galaxy S22 is just around the corner. No MicroSD card slot.

I don't have an answer. It's perplexing. But I do have a suggestion: Don't buy the S21 FE at full price. Wait for it to dip to $600 or less—as of publication, we've already seen it drop to $600 here and there. It's a pretty darn good smartphone that just arrived at an awkward time.). That said, it will eventually replace the entire S21 lineup as stock for those older models declines—and it is dwindling—so it's worth talking about.

I've been using the FE for nearly four weeks and have been able to run all my usual apps and games with barely a sputter, thanks to the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chip inside. I did notice the phone getting quite warm and saw a bit of stuttering as my gaming sessions stretched past an hour inbut that's to be expected. This isn't a drastically different experience from the Galaxy S21.

It's a slightly bigger phone with a 6.4-inch screen , but I never felt that it was oversized. It helps that it's light and thin, and you won't need to worry about the back shattering after an accidental drop because it's made of composite plastic. This matte rear can look grubby at times , but I'm more upset that Samsung decided to forgo the accented color design on the camera module.

The screen itself is nearly identical. It's an AMOLED, so colors are punchy, blacks are inky, and it gets plenty bright to see outdoors. It, meaning it'll look and feel smoother when you scroll through Instagram. But unlike the S21, which can adjust the refresh rate based on what you're doing, the S21 FE can be set to 60 or 120 Hz and that's it.

That doesn't really matter here because Samsung stuffed a slightly larger 4,500-mAh battery and it comfortably lasts a full day—sometimes enough to last well into the following morning, depending on usage. This is arguably the only area where the S21 FE markedly excels over its predecessor. The S21 lasted me a day, but just barely.The measure of a good camera is when I'm not hesitant to take photos with it.
