Is S21 FE Better Than S21

 What is the difference between S21 and S21 Fe?

The S21 FE is slightly larger than the standard S21, and though it's built with similar materials, it feels cheaper. For instance, the camera bump on the back, which contains the three-camera system, still comes out of the device's frame — yet instead of the metal on the Galaxy S21, here it's all polycarbonate.

What's the difference between s20fe and S21?

The Galaxy S20 FE is the bigger of the two phones, at 6.29 x 2.93 x 0.33 inches. That makes it slightly taller and wider than the more slender S21. The 6.07-ounce Galaxy S21 weighs less than 6.7-ounce S20 FE, though unless you've replaced your hands with scales, we doubt you'll notice the difference.

S21 Fe Vs S21 Camera

Moving on to the major advantage the Galaxy S21 FE has over the Galaxy S21 - the true optical zoom camera - it's stayed and flaunts real 3x telephoto magnification compared to the crop zoom that Samsung uses courtesy of the larger 64MP sensor on the Galaxy S21. Score one for the FE, even though it's priced lower.

Samsung prioritized the front-facing camera on the Galaxy S21 FE, giving it a 32MP resolution. On the back, it has a 12MP main lens, 12MP ultrawide, and a 8MP telephoto with 3x. That telephoto is a much lower resolution than the S21, though it keeps the same optical zoom level.

The Galaxy S21 has three rear cameras: a 12MP wide-angle, 12MP ultrawide, and a 64MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom. So if long-range photography matters to you, the regular S21 is the better option.

Concussion...

The 32mp selfie camera is tempting but...

I think for better compatibility with specs demanding apps like filmic pro, I'll stick with the mainstream model. Wait for S22 to replace my S10.

So I might wait for Samsung Galaxy S22 ultra instead.
