Samsung Galaxy S21 – Still Worth It in 2026? Let’s Share Experiences

owesi — Tue, 03 Mar 2026 23:09:56 GMT

Hi everyone 👋

I’ve been using the Galaxy S21 for a while now and wanted to hear from other users about your real-world experience.

Here are a few things I’d love to discuss:

• How is your battery life holding up now?
• Is your phone still smooth with the latest One UI updates?
• What do you like most about the S21 in 2026?
• Any issues with overheating, camera quality, or performance?
• Would you upgrade to a newer model or keep the S21 longer?

Personally, I still find the camera and display very good, but I’m curious how others feel compared to newer Samsung models.

Let’s help each other decide whether the S21 is still a great daily phone or if it’s time to upgrade. Looking forward to your thoughts! 😊

My S21 Ultra holds up pretty well. My battery is on about 88% health after a bit over 1044 cycles. I bought it on pre order which arrived early about 5 years ago now.

It is worth noting that the S21 Ultra is now out of support.

I did have it but found it an awful device for mobile connectivity.

Security support is the biggest problem. Any vulnerabilities that are possible with software after the end of support will not be covered.

So if you use banking, password managers and other security it is possible this can get compromised.

Obviously it may never happen, and if you have an s21 that functions well then it is a choice you can make. Just bear this in mind.
