With a camera module of 12 MP wide, 8 MP telephoto, and 12 MP ultrawide, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE generally takes decent snaps. Though the 4500 mAh battery supports both wireless and reverse wireless charging, the battery performance could have been better. But overall, it is a great value-for-money deal at this price.
