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.

Exceptional experience

I selected the "Great Condition" option and Verizon delivered! The phone works great and looks amazing! They even gave me a month of free service!

Only problem I had was my phone froze and i could not shut it off or use it, so I took the chip out of the phone a nd let it sit for 15 or 20 minutes with out pluging it up I put the chip back in and it was good to go.. I had my phone for 3 years I dont think I will be upgrading no time soon great product....

i LIKED THIS PHONE FOR ABOUT 11 MONTHS.

lgainer . 8 months ago

Unfortunately it will randomly reboot itself and/or lock up ad I have to manually reboot it. Veriizon didn't explain their warranty when I called originally and I've been stuck with phone until I completed the 24 months so I could get my credit for my old phone. I also have time that it locks up repeatedly and have no useable phone

Samsung - 8 months ago

Hi Lgainer, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us about your Samsung Galaxy S21+. We understand how important your device is to you on a daily basis. Given the stated time of ownership, we do offer a one year warranty for any manufacturing defects. We recommend reaching out to the Samsung Support Team for assistance with troubleshooting and options for resolution. Thank you for being a Samsung customer. -Elizabeth Samsung

Been a good phone and still is!!!

Jax21t . 9 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I've had this phone a little over 2 yrs it's just as good if not better than a new one, ot lives inside a (samsung led cover case) love the features of the case never have to open the wallet style case to see who's calling, answering phone or to see if a notification was a e-maill or text a icon informs you of that. I previously had the s9t with same led cover case but the curved glass got broke (due to design or lack of case to cover volume rocker panel only exposed part of case) so had to upgrade was thinking about upgrading again but think I will wait to see if the 24 ultra gets a flat screen no more curved screens for me to delicate and didn't like it. I haven't mentioned much about the phone because it performs great and would buy again it does just about everything possible you would ever want plus more. Get yourself one today

Very impressed

Very nice looking phone, and pretty fast. Very responsive. My husband will be getting one as well.

Not so great as I hoped

Scott J . 11 months ago

The Messages program is old and will not update to the version I had on my older phone. It cannot use RSC! There are a myriad of other smaller issues that I did not have on my older phone. I also expected much better sound from internal speaker.

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.
