I've had this phone since it came out and haven't moved off to buy a new Galaxy because I cannot get the color I want with the storage I want.
Phantom Red would be awesome but I can't get 512 GB storage. I've tried the external cards but they go bad no matter who you buy from and I'm not comfortable putting my photos on a cloud or relying on an external device that may go bad and/or lose my photos, downloads and gifs. I'm heavy into graphics in my writings.
For the amount of money I pay for a device, I do not want to be told I must purchase black to get 512 GB or choose less GB. Samsung has me spoiled so what can you do to fix this Samsung? I'm a TMobil subscriber.
Adding the s pen was amazing and I love the camera

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had mine about 6-7 months and I love it! The camera is amazing, and I love the addition of the s pen.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello Pbowen1876, we are thrilled to know you're getting great use out of all the wonderful features this phone has to offer. Thank you for picking Samsung! ^Elizabeth
Removable memory cards have always been why I keep coming back to Samsung Galaxy Phones. That and waterproof rating. This phone is at least still waterproof, but without being able to use a micro SD card I can't use it. I take photos for work and I'm a mom, I take thousands of photos per year, crazy as it sounds, I like being able to have 30,000 photos and videos on my phone and know that if it's gets crushed I can pull that card out and not lose a photo. Cloud storage is only so good, it won't save the photos fast enough to avert disaster if I lose my work before the cloud can get it backed up because I often work in areas without service. Very dissappointed this feature isn't on the S21 and I will not be using this phone because of it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Rami, that's excellent to hear! Thank you for being a loyal Samsung customer. ^Elizabeth
This phone is super fast when it works properly. The camera is amazing. There are times it won't let me touch things on the screen. The switch between 4g and 5g often causes calls to drop or makes the phone have a jammed service connection. I have to go into airplane mode everyday and take it out again for the serivce to straighten out or reconnect. The GPS spins often and can't figure out what direction it is heading. Sometimes this can be corrected by force closing maps and then turning off then on location. If the phone doesn't restart everyday it gets slow and doesn't want to function properly. The s9 plus is still the best best phone samsung has made. The only reason I got this phone is I needed more storage space with all the apps and business I do in my phone. It's almost worth going back to the S9 plus and deal it being a little slower. At least the s9 plus works consistently.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
