Phone was like new. Activation was a breeze. Couldn't be happier.

Wish I could give less than one star

Sal567 . 7 months ago

I will preface this by saying I was using the S20+ 5G before this phone and I loved it. No issues great phone until the screen got cracked and Verizon offered to upgrade the phone since they couldn't replace the screen. So I did, little did I know that would be a mistake. Less features on the S21+ than the S20+ which seems so backwards to me. I can't choose refresh rates on a phone when the previous gen could? Crazy. USB-C port only works when cable is in a certain orientation. Isn't one of the benefits of USB-C the ability to plug in upside down and right side up? Well that's not a feature on this phone, but don't worry because sometime your USB-C port won't work at all and will not let you launch Dex or mirror screen over USB-C. Battery life sucks compared to the s20+. The microphone doesn't work during and after using android auto. I have to restart my phone to get the microphone to work again or use my phone in speaker mode to talk on the phone after unplugging from android auto. Unstable wifi connections, unstable wired connections, arguably worse sound quality compared to the last gen. Again none of the issues were seen on my S20+ which I had since it came out. Sad to see Samsung make such a subpar product. After being loyal to Samsung since the S6 it's time to go with another brand. I cannot trust that your newer products will not disappoint like this one. Good looking aesthetically, and comfortable in the hand though I will give it that.

Excellent Phone

Giddy Up . 9 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I have had my Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G for 3 or 4 years with no problem. I wanted to upgrade it but I have been doing my homework and there is not a better phone out there. I love ❤️ the camera just enough storage for what i need. I can't say enough about the Galaxy S21+ 5G you will love it as much as I do.

Unsatisfied unfortunately

Codiath25 . 9 months ago

This phone isn't the best. I think seems like my service is not that great with this. The phone is somewhat slow for being a decent phone with a lot of memory and Ram, but it just seems like it's sluggish, my service is sluggish. It just doesn't load as fast as I was thinking as it's a samsung product kind of wish I would have went with a different phone.

Expandable memory . Jul 20, 2023

Does it have expandable memory? I don't have good internet so don't like depending on the cloud.

Answer from Samsung1 year

Salutations, thank you for finding the unobstructed time out of your bustling day to ask us your question about the Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G. That's a good question. Unfortunately, no, the Galaxy S21+ 5G does not have expandable storage capabilities. I understand that cloud based storage is not optimal for you at this time, but it is available to you, if you would like to take advantage of it. Samsung Cloud, Microsoft OneDrive, and Google Drive are a few options that you could utilize to provide some additional storage when your internet strength does become more stable. Let us know if you have any other questions for us by contacting Samsung Support. Thank you for being a faithful Samsung customer. - Debra

Edwards . Apr 27, 2023

Does the S21 have a headphone Jack and does it come with a charger ?

Answer from Samsung1 year

Hello Edwards, thank you for your question! The Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G comes with a charging cable, but the wall plug would need to be purchased separately. Also, it does not have a headphone jack, however it is compatible with a USB-C Headphone Jack adapter, which lets you connect devices that use a standard 3.5 mm audio plug to your USB-C devices. Type-C Headphones would also work perfectly.
