The phone is okay, just it should be okay if the price is a lot cheaper. No charger in a "Fun Edition" Is not Fun at all. Hopefully Samsung is doing something about this. I love the color of the smartphone is so calm and pretty. The battery and charger is a duo bad combination that really put this phone review down a lot. Please consider having higher storage too as many phone with $700 now are having 512GB+ and used the latest 7 Gen series in the future.
I did get it on sale. So far it is quite snappy and the Snapdragon 888 performs well. I feel this is a very stable phone so far. The Battery with adjustments made on my part gives me about 30%-40% of Battery usage Daily. It seldom even gets warm.
As of 1/26/2023 (six months later), I am pleased with the phone. It is very stable and the UI is so amazing. The audio quality via the AKG Earphones is awesome especially Dolby ATMOS enabled. The 6 GB of RAM with the Virtual RAM increased to 6 GB makes the phone super snappy! I do suggest a case and screen protector for long life. I will be able to get four Software/Firmware Updates to include up to Android 16.
The Display and touch sensitivity, even with a glass screen protector is excellent. I have the Vivid mode enabled and adjusted the white balance down a bit, it looks fantastic.
** On 3/6/2023, I received the 5.1 Update coning in at about 1.5 GB. I will evaluate and post my experience here**

On paper, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is a fine mid-range phone, with adequate features like an attractive screen, powerful processor and capable cameras for those looking for a handy, less expensive mobile. However, the launch price is still far too high for what you get, not to mention issues like slow charging speed, laggy software and an unimpressive battery life.
