I don't know if recently are in the small screen market began to compete, Xiaomi launched its own new small screen flagship model, that is, Xiaomi 12, this product is currently selling very well, at least in the sales of the e-commerce platform is top3 level, and another size similar size of the phone has now been sold, it comes from a "cold door" brand Samsung, it is Samsung Galaxy S21 FE, as the sub-flagship model of the international manufacturer, Samsung S21FE value is not worth buying? Take a look.
This Samsung S21 FE can be seen as an iteration of the Samsung Galaxy S20FE, but it will see some slight changes in comparison. First of all, the Snapdragon 865 became the Snapdragon 888, followed by the size of the mobile phone further reduced, although the screen is still the same size, but the fuselage has shrunk a circle, the chin of the S21 FE is about 4 mm shorter, I have to admire Samsung to do this can still shrink? However, the screen specifications still maintain the original appearance, 1080p resolution, 120Hz refresh rate.
As the size changed, the weight of the Samsung S21 FE also changed a little, from the 190 grams of the previous generation to the 177 grams of today. So in comparison, this model is not the opponent of Xiaomi Mi 12, after all, the latter is the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1 model, and Samsung S21 FE is only equipped with Snapdragon 888. However, such a configuration, coupled with a 6.3-inch screen and a weight of 177 grams, it is equivalent to the model in the middle of the Xiaomi Mi 12 and Xiaomi Mi 12X, and the three models are very similar in size, and the Samsung S21 FE configuration is in between.
In the image part, the Samsung S21 FE has not been upgraded at all compared to the previous generation. The front is still 3200W pixels, the main camera is 1200W pixels F1.8 aperture, the ultra-wide angle is 1200W pixels F2.2 aperture, and the telephoto is 800W pixels. In terms of hardware configuration, it is certainly not comparable to the IMX766, after all, Sony IMX766 has been proved by many models to take pictures, and the upgrade of the Samsung S21 FE is not large.
Compared with the S20 FE, the newly launched S21 FE has a downgrade, that is, it does not support memory cards. Many small partners choose Samsung because they can expand capacity, and now Samsung is gradually canceling this design. In fact, the reason for the lack of support is also very simple, is the Android system itself for the memory card restrictions more and more, most of the APP has changed the default storage path to in-machine storage, and even do not allow changes. In addition, the charging part, Samsung S21 FE is still the same as the old, up to 25W and need to be opened separately, which is basically equal to slow charging in China.
However, the Samsung S21 FE continues a good selling point, that is, IP68 dustproof and waterproof. I don't know why this year can become a selling point, this necessity is not much to say, understand everything. In terms of price, the price of this phone is 4599 yuan to start, the highest is 4999 yuan, this price can basically buy Snapdragon 8 Gen1, the pricing is very Samsung style. The small screen design of this model is very selling, but according to the pricing conventions of Samsung products, a reduction of 1000 is a regular price, and if it is cheaper, it can be regarded as a good price. What do you think about that? The reviewer feels that although there are selling points, it is more appropriate to give priority to domestic mobile phones.
