I bought an s21 in 2024, the motherboard of my s9 was burned, the exynos of my s9 was heating up, and the battery didn't last long, so for the purchase of a new samsung I was afraid about the samsung chips, so much so that I had aimed at the s20 fe with the snapdragon, but I decided to give a chance to the exynos of the s21, the reviews spoke well of it.

Guys, it's a masterpiece, it never heats up, super fast, with 120 hz activated the s21 can easily hold up in 2025 with phones released now, I think samsung hit the mark that time..

Funny that the s22 has returned to having a mediocre exynos, Samsung is really strange what do you think? Do you agree?

I miss the s9 screen though, that resolution was crazy

So I'm upgrading my phone after 5 years from the s7 edge and I'm unsure about what version of the s21 I should buy. I do like taking good pictures but I'm not a professional so unsure if the price bump between the s21 and s21 ultra is worth it. It's not that i cant afford it but more of whether its worth it. Is there a big difference, both in picture quality as well as overall performance, between the s21 and the s21 ultra? What about the s21+..Is it a good compromise between the two? What about the battery life? Is there a big difference?

Also I do plan to use the next phone I buy for quite a while so that's also something I'd want to factor into all this. So yea hoping to get some input from you'll as to what you'll think I should go for.

Update:Thanks for all the responses, I feel a bit guilty but decided to go with the majority for the S21 Ultra 😅. Was an offer that was ending today so yea decided it's now or never. Some of you raised some fine points for the plus and wouldve gone for that if it wasnt for the offer. Really appreciate everyone's input! Hopefully I don't regret it 😅..
