Why only three stars

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I and my family got a plan together and since I wanted to upgrade my phone, which by the way has ALWAYS been Samsung Gallery's and ALWAYS will be, I decided to go with the S21 5G. I got my phone and here are the pros and cons which has cause me to give a
3-star rating.
3-star rating.
PROS:
1. Nice size screen, not to small yet not
to big.
2. Not to hard to operate once you get
used to it.
3. Love the camera zoom sizes.
4. On Samsung Notes I like the way I
can take a blank entry and write or
drawer diagrams and Notes has a
lot of editing features.

4. On Samsung Notes I like the way I

lot of editing features.
CONS:
1. Can't separate texts from emails or
just notifications. I like to have mine
to separate because then I can tell if
I need to check my phone RIGHT
NOW, as in receiving a text, verses a
game notification or an Email. I am
usually late on seeing my text
because I think it is just another
notification!
2. Don't like that I can't get Bixby to
stand alone on another "screen".
3. Hard to get use to the way to take a
screen shot.
4. I don't like the fact that I have to
push in both side keys to shut it off.
I am used to Bixby on a separate
screen at all times, pushing just the
power key button to shut it off, and
pushing and HOLDING a right side
key and a left side key to take a
screen shot.
5. Had phone for only 3 days when I
noticed that my battery was being
used up rather quickly. By the time it
was a month and a half old my
battery was ONLY lasting 12 hours
and I AM NOT a big gamer.

Because there were more minor CONS than PROS I had to rate Samsung S21 5G only 3 stars.
Here is something I would like to see offered. Since
I would recommend this to a friend!

Familiar with great new features!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Reluctantly upgraded from a Samsung S8 that wouldn’t hold a charge anymore. Hate to relearn a new phone so was excited. The transfer of data was so easy. The new features are very cool and easy to navigate. SO glad I chose this phone.
I would recommend this to a friend!
