Question The screen on S21 FE has a 19.5:9 aspect ratio - Samsung Galaxy S21 FE

More or less all android phones during the past year have used 20:9. For me, who do not like super tall phones it is nice that Samsung chose a slightly wider aspect ratio on this phone (same as iphone). Most tech sites (including gsm-arena list the wrong aspect ratio 20:9, 2400x1080).

Am I the only one who note the 19.5:9 aspect ratio?
Almost all tech sites claim 20:9 and 1080x2400. I have asked several people who own S21 FE to check and they all confirm 1080x2340.
GSM-arena still show 20:9;

Yesterday I was at the local store and grabbed all phones to have a feel about this. I also like wide phones. My current phone, the Mate 10, is 78mm wide! Fantastic! (16:9 screen, like the LG G4 I had before).
Have long waited for something to suit me. But now this S21 FE is not bad at all. In fact, considering the weight and spec I think it looked so good so I ordered one
Did a table here with body ratios in case someone are interested. I think the Iphones have good ratio but they have one big problem, they are Iphones.

You're not alone. I'm not a fan of a tall, skinny phone.

Ha, we must be related. Ordered an FE just for this reason. Coming from a Mate 10 Pro, and before that an LG G4.

Meizu MX6 will have 4000mAh battery and Helio X20 processor at 1799RMB.
According to reports this morning, the MX6 will support all current Chinese 3G and 4G LTE networks making it the first Meizu to be offered in one model compatible with all networks. This is good news for Chinese buyers but what about the rest of the hardware?
Apparently the Meizu MX6 will continue with a similar thin bezel design to the MX5, but will see an upgrade to the Mediatek Helio X20, 4GB RAM and a larger 4000mAh battery. The phone is also said to have an 8 mega-pixel front camera and 20.7 mega-pixel rear.
Will it surpass Xiaomi Mi5 or not?
Well... I'm waiting for 2017, for price drop on pro 5. Now I have MX5, before I had m1 note. So MX6... in 2018

Honor 8X Vs. 7X

Honor 8X Vs. 7X

I got the Honor 7X when it came out in 2017 and was lucky enough to get the 8X after its recent release. While the Honor 8X is a great phone, there has been a bit of price increase since the 7X. There's also the issue with the 8X not even being available in the U.S., and I'm not sure if there are plans to even release this phone here. But putting all that aside, I'll let you know how the phones compare to each other.
Honor 8X
6.5" 1080x2340p
Kirin 710
4/6GB RAM
64/128GB Storage
20+2MP Main Camera
16MP Selfie Camera
3750mAh Battery
Honor 7X
5.93" 1080x2160p
Kirin 659
3/4GB RAM
32/64GB Storage
16+2MP Main Camera
8MP Selfie Camera
3340mAh Battery
Display
The Honor 8X has a really impressive display. The 91% screen-to-body ratio means the phones stays about the same size, but the 8X has a significantly bigger display. As far as quality goes, the phones are on par with each other. But that extra screen space is definitely worth the upgrade. It's also worth mentioning that the 8X has a notched display and a much taller 19.5:9 ratio.
Performance
The 7X wasn't a beast when it came to 3D gaming. But then again, it was still one of the best phones in that price range. The Honor 8X has a Kirin 710, up to 6GB of RAM, and a Mali-G51 MP4. These improvements mean performance has had a big bump. Games like PUBG run flawlessly and performance overall is much better.
Camera
I have done camera reviews for both of these phones, and the Honor 8X is significantly better. The AI camera system is now implemented into the Honor X series, making its first appearance on the 8X. Some of the features that have been added in the 8X are Slow-mo, AI Mode, Night Mode, Portrait Mode and AR Lens.
Build Quality
Now I'm a big fan of metal unibody designs. So the 7X has a design that I really like. That being said, the 8X has the glass back aurora-style design from the Honor flagship phones. Both of these designs are solid and it will just come down to your personal preference. I really like the way that the Honor 8X looks, but like the solid and durable feel of the 7X a little better. Both phones look better in the brighter color variants.
Is there so little people using the Honor 8x?
I mean, there are phone releases by other manufacturers in the same month of October but I'm pretty sure that the price point of the Honor 8x is appealing.
With Honor also churning out more phones, its hard to make up my mind on which model to get.

I don't think there are little people using it but a lot of people on XDA want phones that are open for development (which Honor is no longer).
If you don't care about custom ROMs, I think the 8X is a good deal.

Hello
First i wanted to get the One Plus 8 Pro, but i read numerous threads of people reporting heat, display, and a lot of other problems so i got that out of my list.

Have you checked on wondamobile? Its on promotion at the moment
If you need a phone asap the regular s20 Snapdragon can be found for a really good price come cyber monday.. I've had zero issues with it .
I personally prefer the smaller size and the price is great for a really snappy phone. I'm getting around 6.5hrs screen on time as well.
No Root but that hasn't bothered me one bit
Currently updated s20 with exynos is pretty much the same as snapdragon and on daily basis you wont notice any difference, in fact my s20+ exynos version never gave me any reason to complain and at least you have warranty which may not be as easy and straight forward with imported snapdragon
So there are no know problems with the S20/plus

I wouldn't necessarily label these problems but there are issues which you might consider before purchasing the S20 Plus.
The rear cameras aren't flush with the back panel, they protrude. It doesn't look like much in promotional photos but it clashes with the symmetry of the device and won't lay flat. Also at 6.37" x 2.90" it's not what most consider a "pocket phone"' it's a big device which is the trend these days.
There's no 3.5 mm jack, the wired earpiece connection is routed through the charging port which requires an adapter. If you're fine with Bluetooth for audio no big deal but as an audio buff a wired connection is superior.
Only Asian Snapdragon variants offer unlocked bootloaders, if you won't root the device that shouldn't matter. The UI is refined to the point you may not want to bother with root. Plus there are numerous models even within the S20 Plus. If full Call Feature functionality is a top priority then aquire your service provider's device, which in your case would mean a Exynos SoC.
It's an expensive smartphone, there are other options available for hundreds of dollars less that may be suitable for your needs. Overall it's a great device, maybe the best smartphone on the market but not necessarily the best value.
If I was considering a purchase at this time I'd hold off until the S21 is released in January or February. If you do and still prefer the, S20 Plus it will available at an even lower price than today.
Hello, who knows what this acronym means?

Question Is the S21 Fe worth to buy?

I'm planning to buy this S21 Fe which looks cool but are the phone specs worth it!!!
Well it depends. If you are interested in photography and video quality and you live in a region where it comes with the Snapdragon, then yes it may be a good deal. I'm in Europe and we finally have the Snapdragon on it. Plus, the preorder comes with a free set of Buds2 and a Youtube 4 month subscription. If however, you can get the S21 with the Snapdragon and you don't care about having a Hybrid 3x zoom instead of a proper optical zoom then that may be a better deal for you. It's clearly not a bad phone but you need to see if it's a good deal according to your particular interests. I've seen reviewers already bashing it, but again, for Europe it makes sense because we always had Exynos on the S21's, till now.

Damn! I love photography and videography so this could be a good phone for me. They give free buds 2 and a Youtube subscription in Europe if you pre-order this phone, that's why the price is high on the website. Yeah, I have the S20 Fe snapdragon edition so I will be getting the same snapdragon when I buy the S21 Fe but I saw on the Samsung website the rate is so high for me. Also, when I click the buy now option to check the version the page is not loaded as an error, I think the page is not ready yet.
I found that both the S20 FE and S21 FE have the same camera sensors for all cameras, so I'm not sure if it's worth upgrading in your particular case.

The only difference is S21 Fe has Gorilla glass Victus and Snapdragon 888 processor so I think I'll get this phone for the processor!
S21 FE is smaller and more compact than it's predecessor, thinner and packing almost everything. Big plus for me but will wait a bit for price to settle since I will go for 256GB version.
Remember, no SD card support.

I don't need an sd card slot because I backup only particular photos and videos always so the 128GB is enough for me!
I had a hard time chosing between the S22 and S22+, but then I found the S21FE. Which is just in between. Perfect size!

I switched from exynos Note20 Ultra 5G to S21 FE and will never look back . Battery lasts longer despite identic capacity due to SG, performance is better, 4k was useless without 120hz. Love the dimensions, size, cameras.
Buy it. It's a great phone. I moved from a pixel 6. The pixel cannot keep sustained performance. Using it for Uber and lyft and the phone was super hot and the camera and fingerprint stops working. Do not get the Pixel which is what people tend to consider when they want the s21 FE. Buy the S21 FE and be happy bro.

There has been some talk about Sammi versus Pixels on XDA. If you care for camera performance, this review might aid your decision.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra — these photos show how far Samsung is behind Google
The Galaxy S22 Ultra is allergic to the sun
www.tomsguide.com
Shadow detail & color contrast much better on the P6P
On first glance the P6P looks best, but after a while too processed and too heavy on the HDR. The natural photographic nature has been replaced with a video game like processing look more and more as time goes by on Pixel.
Looking back at my pixel 2 photos, they are more natural looking than the p6 ones now.
All you need to do is check out edited RAW files and what the p6 camera is capable of is drowned in a over processing.
My kid has both, he agrees that the Pixel camera is better.

Still people just care about a "good" looking photo. Problem with samsung is that it still take lots of blurry photos
Depends on the review TBH. Both phones are in the top 3. The S22 Ultra is more expensive but has better specs, storage capacity and build quality. It's not made in China which is important to some of us.
I have both and for most things the Pixel camera is just better.
Problem is for everything else on the phone the S22U is better.

And now we have an honest unbiased response.
Both of these flagship phones are seriously flawed. Not a day goes by that I'm not sorry for selling my S20+ in anticipation of the Pro 6 that never came and the S22U that is 2 weeks delayed and counting.
The Samsung shot is way more natural but there is no way you can make a judgment on just one photo. For the majority of the time the Pixel doesn't turn in to an HDR mentalist like it has here and the results are very pleasing.
Then thing is this type of photo is one where I would expect Samsung to be competitive with the Pixel and in this instance I think I do prefer the S22U image, the slightly blown sign and building in the distance do not ruin the photo for me.
It is photos of people and pets where I think the Pixel excels which is probabnly 90%+ of the photos I take on a phone. If I was heading out to take some cityscapes I would not worry which one I took with me TBH. I'd probably take the S22U though as the Pixel on cellular would likely have a dead battery by lunchtime

^^ 100%.
One photo? come on. Both phones are great. can we just be content that phones are this good.
And there's so much more to it, than just one photo captured in one moment of time. It''s not black and white. This is much more complex to just have a blatant statement like that and these types of features have to perform well for billions of people in billions of different environments. all flag ships from 2020-22 do very, very well.
Not anymore sir... After may update camera on pixel isn't so good on sharp
