Verizon Samsung Galaxy S21 5G Gray 128GB

I thought the S21 would be better than my S8 being new but it is far from it. The response to gestures and typing is slower. The screen is lower quality and resolution. The glass doesn't wrap around and curve. There is no SD card slot. No headphone jack. It doesn't support my Gear 360 camera pod, nor my 360 VR headset. My service provider said I have to upgrade due to the 3G sunset otherwise I'd still be with my S8. I loved that phone. The S21 is ok I guess but not worth giving up my S8. I think I'll keep the S8 running on wifi only for use around the house and just take the S21 with me when I leave the house. It's sad what I've lossed in features "Upgrading" to a new phone. I regret having to buy a new phone. Maybe I'll find something about the S21 that will make it worth it. Crosses fingers.

I purchased this phone to take great pictures. I also use this phone to process credit cards with square. I have purchased 2 different dongles to plug into the USB-c to have a headphone jack and I can't get the headphone jack to work for processing. I tested my squares with my friends phone since she uses square too. What a useless phone for business! I have had the phone one week and I can't use it for one of the two reasons I have a cell phone. What dongle works with this phone? I need it to process credit cards at shows. What happened to the headphone jack in my phone?

The whole reason I got this phone was for the camera. I was expecting this brand new incredible camera system, and let me tell you, it's hyped up way too much. If you're taking a photo of people in under lite areas, your photo will be pixilated and washed out If you are taking a selfie, your camera will "fix" your flaws for you and even when you choose the option in settings not to, it still does. If you take a photo of a landscape though, photos are incredible. Taking photos of people, not so incredible. When you send photos to iPhone users, it's so incredibly blurry on their phone. When an iPhone user send me a picture, same thing, sometimes you can even recognize the photo at al. When I send a picture to a Samsung user, it's not nearly as bad as iPhone but it's still blirry and now what it looks like on my phone. Same thing when receiving a photo from a Samsung. So even when you take incredible pictures, you can't send them to anybody. Very disappointed in this system. Can't wait to jump and get something else.

The biometric unlocks on this phone are complete TRASH. Otherwise everything else so far so good. Just took forever to get somethings transferred from old to new phone. Didn't even move photos, video, or files. Some hours later it finally told me to clear space on old device. But as I said biometric unlocks are a joke and it's incredibly frustrating. I would delete them if I didn't need for some apps which it MOST of the time works fine for, but not for unlocking the device.

Sure the phone is great but the lack of a headphone jack is super annoying. I understand this is the way of the future, but they literally created a problem for hundreds of thousands if not millions of users. This on top of the lack of charging base and even wireless headphones or a dongle reeks of greed. You can claim you did this to be green, but it was done in the hopes of making people buy even more of your accessories. I have only ever had a Samsung since I have had a smartphone. So far, this is the least impressive offering
