open 2022, Samsung presenting a flagship phone Galaxy S21 FE. Its presence has been awaited since last year, but the South Korean tech giant chose to release it on January 4.
As a successor Galaxy S20 FE, a number of improvements given Samsung. But there are some changes that make the Galaxy S21 FE even more interesting.
DetikINET has been using it for several weeks. This phone offers many advantages, but that does not mean there are no drawbacks.
So can this Galaxy S21 FE be your daily driver in 2022? Here’s a brief review for your consideration.
Design
The Galaxy S21 FE offers a completely different look from its predecessor. Gives a fresh impression on the view, especially the presence of the olive color that we reviewed.
Samsung adopted the contour cut applied to the Galaxy S21 series. The difference is that the camera housing is not made together with the metal frame.

The back cover of this phone uses plastic material, even though there is no cheap impression when viewed. In fact, the back of the Galaxy S21 FE supports wireless charging.
Still on the back shell, Samsung applies a matte finish that makes it comfortable in the hand while minimal fingerprint stains.
The body measures 155.7 x 74.5 x 7.9mm and weighs 177g, not as compact as the Galaxy S21 but still comfortable to grip even for those with small hands.
Given the power button and volume control on the right side with a USB-C port on the bottom. There’s no 3.5mm headphone jack, maybe it’s time to use the more affordable TWS
Because it has an IP68 certificate, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is waterproof so you don’t have to worry when it rains or activities in the pool.
Screen
One of the aspects that made us fall in love with this phone is the screen. Samsung implemented a 19.5:9 ratio after adopting 20:9 for a long time. The edges are made flat plus the thin bezel gives the impression of being spacious in the view.
The Galaxy S21 FE has a 6.4-inch screen with Full HD + resolution. The panel uses Dynamic AMOLED 2X as installed in the Galaxy S21 series.

No wonder the screen quality is eye-catching. The colors presented are so rich and accurate, the details are very good.
Samsung’s screen issue has never disappointed. Galaxy S21 FE is fun for playing games or watching streaming from Disney+ Hotstar, Netflix and other services.
Increasingly pampered with stereo speakers so kicking. Especially once we activate the feature Dolby Atmos, instantly boosted sound quality.
Following the trend the refresh rate is 120Hz, providing smooth transitions when scrolling the screen. But several times we found the frame rate to be 30-35 Hz in the USA, the phone had to be restarted to get it back to 120Hz.
