I have the S21 Ultra 5G but want to upgrade. However, I'm 84 so don't care to spend $1000+ for next phone. Definitely don't want to lose the "wallet" but am having trouble understanding technical language when reviewing differences. I'm willing to go $600 - $700 but I need advice/suggestions for a suitable replacement with similar features. Thank you for your help!
If the Spen is not a deal breaker for you the S25 FE is a great mid budget phone. With a trade of your current device the price is $500. No trade in it is $650. There are many here in this community that have that phone and love it.
I would go with a S25 FE. I have had mine since February 2026 and love it. I have not had any issues with it. Reading the specs compared to the S21, the screen is about the same size, but lighter weight. The S21 U has a better camera than the S25 FE. As @Robin621k stated, the S25 FE does not have or support the Spen.
