For 25k worth product. As it is a ‘S’ series phone with almost every features of ‘S’ series.
I bought it for 25k and it is worth-it.âªï¸Pros:-⢠It has almost ‘S’ series phone’s features (except Galaxy Ai) in this range of price.⢠The camera setup for this device is perfect & stunning one; as it has got 3 sensors (wide, ultra wide, 3x optical zoom lens which is great).⢠Its so lightweight, handy, medium sized phone.⢠The camera module, slim design, great display, good performance everything is nice.⢠Performance wise i also like as it comes with SD 888 & it’s very smooth while doing day-to-day tasks & also in gaming.âªï¸Cons:-⢠Heating is the main issue I can say about cons. While using camera for a while, or if we use any social media platforms it won’t get heat but there will a slight warm over the camera module area.⢠Other backdrop is that it only supports 25W charging speed which we have to buy additional as the box doesn’t come with the adapter.⢠The charging is slow although it has only 4500mAh battery; for normal use it will stand for a day but if you are some more heavy use you should charge it twice.

Best for 25k but comes with compromises
Price: Bought it for â¹25,499 in a Non-Sale season which is insane ð¤¯.Display (5/5): Dynamic 2x with 120 Hz with Amazing Screen to Body ratio with negligible bezels ð¤©Performance (4/5): I know Snapdragon 888 is almost 4 year old processor launched in December 2020 but still it’s comparable with Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 available in under 30k phones and the phone is smooth in normal day to day use. I don’t play games so no issues for me but it heats quite a lot like all Snapdragon 888 phones used to heat back in 2021 and it’s heating is kinda manageable if you cap it to 70% using Battery Saver mode.Cameras (5/5): No explanation needed it’s the USP of this phone.Charging (4/5): Decent speed charges in an hour at 25W.Battery Life (2.5/5): Weak point of this phone because you get just 4-5 hours battery in 120 Hz and to maximize it to 6-7 hours I use Battery saver mode which reduces refresh rate to 60 Hz, AOD is Off and 5G is turned off as I use VI sim which still doesn’t have 5G ð.Additional Features not found around 25k:1) USB Gen 3 for Wired and Wireless output in Samsung Dex.2) Wireless charging at 15W. (I don’t use it because of heating)3) S-series One UI and still 2 major Android updates and 3 years of security patch updates.4) Stereo Speakers which are awesome with Dolby Atmos.5) UFS 3.1 with LPDDR5 Ram for faster read write speeds in file transfers.6) 256 GB storageGenuine Cons â ï¸1) Greenline issues may come as Exynos 2100 variant has world wide Greenline issues.2) Back Panel Glue melting issues have also been reported on Twitter across India due to overheating of this phone.Cons for me (not necessarily for everyone):1) No charging in the box (â¹989 spent extra for Samsung 25W charger).2) No headphone jack so I can’t use my existing Earphones (â¹1349 spent extra for Samsung AKG Type-C Earphones).3) No Backcover (â¹708 for Spigen case).4) Due to less battery life bought Samsung 20000 mAh 45W Powerbank for â¹3149All these cons lead to the total cost of â¹32k almost for me but even if you don’t buy offical Samsung accessories like me you’ll end up spending around â¹2-3k extra for Charger, cover, Tempered Glass and Powerbank if you’re traveling to places where Powerpoint for charging isn’t available.Final Verdict (4/5):I still gave it a 4 because all the cons were known to me before buying this phone and as I want to shoot videos and don’t have a high budget to buy S23 or iPhone. I bought this considering all the compromises ð.Important Messenge: “S23 FE and S21 FE has nearly has everything same only difference being more updates, Glass Back, all AI features (S21 FE also has few AI features) and 8k recording but it has the same heating issues and less Battery life like S21 FE. So, if you’re strict on Budget like me buy the S21 FE there’s no point in extending your budget for S23 FE”

Great value for 25k
I’ve been using the s21 fe for more than 45 daysPros-âCompact and light weight.âThe design and build looks premium unlike the s23 fe.âIn the software department you can literally customize anything, and of course it is smooth, I didn’t notice any major lag or hang till now.âThe camaras are the best at 25k, the low light performance is great.âIf you use it at 60hz and in dark mode, you can easily get more than 6 hours of backup on a single charge.âI didn’t had any problem in multitasking and casual gaming but as I’m not a hard core gamer I don’t think I should talk much about it.âThe speaker is surprisingly loud for the size and the haptic moter is great.âThere are countless small but useful features baked in the software, one of them is you can give audio output to as many devices as you want(I’ve checked with 4 devices) via bluetooth.Cons-âUnder direct sunlight the brightness feels low, the screen is not clearly visible.âIn summer it heats up quickly and in direct sunlight it becomes really hot.âI felt like with every update the camaras are getting worse, for example in the last update the night photos were significantly degraded.âIf you use it in 120hz and in light mode the battery hardly lasts 3 hour.âYou will not get most of the new A.I features, till now it has only got circle to search.Update-After the november(2024) updateâThe battery backup is improved and now it is usable at 120hzâThe camaras are also a bit improved but not as good as it was with the old version of software(One UI 6.0)It is good to see that samsung is paying some attention to their old phones after a long time.

The best phone in the price range.
Everything is absolutely great, especially software and camera. But battery drains too fast. Except from that everything is absolutely great.

Good camera, bad battery backup, good display
Samsung us very user friendly and it gives you the flagship level performance and features within these 24k price range the gaming ability is not that good because after 1 hour of bjmi its sucks too much battery and you have to charge twice a daily. The phone looks very cool and the quality is also superb and fingerprint also works in 9 out of 10 times a wellIf you are a camera guy and you want flexip level features within budget range then go for it but if you are a gamer then you should not buy this there are many phones around 24 to 25k from other bands hope this helps, thank you ð
