 So in my hands I have the Galaxy S21 FE. Now this device was rumored not to come out and well it's finally here but in 2022 this is Samsung's latest fan edition device. Now let's see how it stacks up against the S20 FE and let's see if it's actually worth it. Hey guys Thunder E here and thank you for joining me in this video. We finally have the Galaxy S21 FE and let's take a look at this device closely because it's got a very different build from the S20 FE from technically two years ago. Now it's got a styling of looks that reminds you of the Galaxy S21 with the way the camera notch is at the back which is pretty nice but it's got this matte black finish if you will this matte finish at the back. It actually comes in four colors we have olive white graphite and of course purple and I do like the graphite look because it kind of kind of you know shades in between charcoal and a bit of gray as well. Now the overall build is really nice feels very comfortable in your hands. The device is 6.42 inches in terms of the screen size which is different from the Galaxy S20 FE which is 6.5 inches. When you start with them next to each other you can actually see the S20 FE is necessarily taller than the S21 FE. Now in terms of the cameras you're looking at similar camera housings for improvements the S21 FE has a 1212 and an 8 and improved night mode and then you also have a 4500 mAh battery with this device comes in two size variants for the S21 FE 6 gigabytes of RAM with 128 gigabytes of storage and 8 gigabytes of RAM with 256 gigabytes of storage. Now when we look at the displays of this device we can see it's that it does have a 6.42 inch display that is a Full HD Plus and is also Super AMOLED 2x display not sure what that means but from Samsung's point of view it's a better display than we had with the S20 FE and it kind of shows it's really nice the color textures look just a little bit better if you will and you can see the whole punches are in the same location we have a 32 megapixel camera in the front. So I've stated specs that are similar and slightly different with both devices when it comes to battery size I mentioned they're both the same when it comes to charging you have the same charging options now here are some things that are a little bit different so if I go ahead and reach out to the cases or actually the packaging for both devices they are very different in size the S20 FE came with a full size package which means you got a charger in the box with the S20 FE while the S21 FE here has no charge in the box and only comes with a usb type c cable so how times have changed and that's how it actually stacks up the packaging's do look the same from these devices we've stated all those specs out there how do they compare in terms of different features let's start off with audio and speakers because this is where I was really stunned with what Samsung has done with the S21 FE but how about you guys take a quick listen I mean honestly the S21 FE just sounded better louder and clearer which is a huge jump from the S20 FE and again it helps a lot of people if you're listening to music if you're gaming on your device which is something of course a lot of people will be doing now in terms of processors though we're looking at an upgrade from the S20 FE which had the Snapdragon 865 which was a nice solid processor but we do have the Snapdragon 888 on the S21 FE and when we look at the games that we can play on them we start off with our very first game of course which is called unimobile which runs well on both devices we're looking at a solid 60 frames per second which is something the 865 could do quite well and when we go over to pubg mobile we also see the same thing with smooth extreme for both devices in terms of these settings runs at 60 frames per second and then we move to ultra hd ultra for both the S21 FE and the Galaxy S20 FE we also got 40 frames per second so that's all well and good now the main test here of course is Genshin Impact now the S20 FE playing Genshin Impact we got actually about 40 frames per second for a 30-minute gameplay and actually it dropped down to about it started off at 49 when we were playing at the max settings and then it dropped down to about 42 within the first 10 minutes and then stated 42 to 40 in that range in basically 30 minutes of gameplay now with the S21 FE this is where I was truly stunned by how its performance actually played out we got 60 frames per second for a full 30 minutes of gameplay it continued without any issues whatsoever slowdowns were not noticeable it was just a solid gaming experience which is something great to see and gives me a lot of hope for the Galaxy S22 series once it comes out now now you're saying okay that's pretty cool but what about temperature and heat because we all know that look Snapdragon AAA devices ran really hard and it does run warm I would say in terms of temperatures we've got about a hundred and nine hundred ten degrees throughout gaming session so that's something to take note while the S20 FE definitely ran cooler now those are great features to look at and great things to see and it kind of kind of you know brings to the point that the S21 FE is a better device but what about the camera because that's one of the things that helped the S20 FE it was a solid package for everything the S20 provided at a cheaper price point well the cameras are improved samples by the improved night mode but instead of me boring you how about you take a look at some of the camera videos and samples yourself the front facing camera shooting a 4k 60 I've got the S21 S21 FE on my left the S20 FE on my right just looking at the screens they look completely different better colors in the S21 FE though definitely some noticeable improvements but you guys tell me what do you think who has the better camera is it pretty much the same or are the improvements with the S21 FE now I think overall when a consumer looks at it you're going to go out this is quite an interesting price point because it comes in the S21 FE comes in at $700 which is kind of similar to where it launched with the S20 FE but because this is coming in 2022 I expected a lower price point right now you can pick up an S20 FE from Amazon for about 524 through carriers you can cheap get pick it up from a cheaper price point as well as also through Samsung now I definitely know that Samsung will be having some awesome you know trading offers for the S21 FE once it launches on January 11th but we'll have to wait and see I do know that Verizon is offering up to $700 trading for the S21 FE so which means you can get the phone for basically $0 down if you're trading something that's comparable so I'm going to ask this question for you here right at the end is do you think the S21 FE is a worthy upgrade at its price point over the S20 FE and are you going to be picking one up if you are leave your thoughts down below and your comments if you guys want to pick up any of the devices the S20 FE or S21 FE use the links down below and this is Thunder E saying thank you and always enjoy entertainment
