Bitter sweet

4 years ago
I love my Samsung ultra 21 phone, especially the camera quality.The only thing that really upset me was the fact that, when I opened my new phone I noticed that it didn't come with any accessories, no box cable port, nor did it come with a earphones, and for as much as the phone costs I feel those two things Really should have been included. I almost returned my phone for that reason alone. But I thought no I've been with t-mobile over 9yrs. Let me stick this out.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Nice upgrade

4 years ago
Received this phone yesterday. Plugged in and charged to 100% and then started the onerous process of transferring everything from my old phone to new and setting up the new phone. Actually not too bad since the phone walks you through every step (after logging in w/ google account.) Samsung provides a USB-C to USB-C cable with the phone (no charger though, so don't throw out the old one.) Cable can be used to connect the 2 phones to migrate your stuff. Remember, this doesn't have an SD-Card slot, so if you have lots of pics/movies you want to migrate, get the 256 gb version. Phone has DEX (reminds me of my 950XL which I sorely miss.) Works great.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Crisp and Clean!

4 years ago
Upgraded from an S9+ and overall, I am loving it! Everything is so smooth and transistions great. The battery life, so far, has been great! My only complaint is the fingerprint feature is terrible. Setting it up is difficult because the sensor pad is large and those with small fingers will not be able to use it. If you add on a screen protector it's next to impossible to use. You have to press hard and then it still won't recognize it. I set up the prints after adding the protector and still struggle to unlock my phone. Might try the face or take it back to the pattern/code. So far that's my only complaint. Overall loving it so far!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Absolutely the best phone I have ever owned.

4 years ago
This is by far the best phone I have ever owned. PROs: Launching apps is fast. The apps themselves run without hesitation. The camera is terrific. The display is bright and beautiful. I heard that Samsung compromised here a little, compared to the S20, to get the cost down and the battery life up. It was totally the right call. I can't imagine a more crisp looking display, and the battery life is amazing. I end the day with more than 65% battery life remaining (sometimes more than 75% if I haven't used my phone constantly.) CONs: Samsung bloatware. Gah. Also, my ideal phone would have a smaller screen. The width is fine, but it wouldn't hurt to have it a little shorter.

Yes, I recommend this product.

S21 5G Not So Great.

4 years ago
What was I thinking? This phone has not SD expansion slot, no head phone jack, it's too long and not balanced in your hand, doesn't have a telephoto lens like the ultra even though it is still crazy expensive... come on samsung, quit taking stuff away and give us everything we want for this insane amount of money. And include the things I need to use my phone like a fricken charger! The phone doesn't feel any better to use than the s10e, which was less top heavy and a much nicer size to hold in your hand. Bottom Line, I should have waited a year until all of the complaints have you adding the features back in that we all want. I am already ready for an upgrade. Please make the next one better, we know you can.

No, I do not recommend this product.

terrible charger options

4 years ago
The phone would be terrific if it wasn't for the charger situation. I didn't mind buying the charger separately, but that charger cord is far too short, and not compatible with anything else. I can't charge using USB or my car charger. And there are no other compatible charger options available for this phone. This is highly inconvenient. I'm calling shenanigans on Samsung for this terrible idea, and on T-Mobile for selling a phone with such a lousy charger situation. Also, T-Mobile, you need to work on your internet security already. you only get so many strikes before customers leave.

No, I do not recommend this product.
