I saw they released one last year, the S20 FE and now they recently released another, the S21 FE.

I was comparing their specs on GSM and I can't tell if it is actually worth the money. Like the S20 FE at the time seemed like it was a solid deal but the S21 FE feels like it is just a scam. Like it is a $450 phone they are selling for $799.

You have one of these phones or know anyone who does?

    when it comes to Samsung I only like the flagships. I have the S21 Ultra right now, waiting for them to bring the Notes back, in my opinion, only deal with the flagships, they last for a very long time, and stay updated for years.

    That is the thing I am kind of on the fence about. Their flagship line is always at the top but I feel like the mid-tier and budget models are likely lacking in a way that would make them obsolete faster. If I am going to spend a lot on a phone, I want it to last a minimum of 3 years.

    Then it is best option for you to go with top model but honestly I would go for Fan edition phones based on similar features with less amount as we hardly use few features in life.
    Yeah the flagships, I would never make full use of what they offer. I just want a good camera, a good battery life, and a good processor. Everything else doesn't mean much to me.

    Yes I agree specially good battery life and processor as those are most important part of today's generation as often we see less battery usage or slow/hang the phone after few months of use.

    I was comparing the flagships to the midrange models and it seems like they don't see the same batteries, or at least it appears that way as people complained about the batteries not lasting nearly as long and having issues after a few months. I guess my search continues! lol

    Yes and I think you should wait for couple days as Samsung is unveiling new phones in event and I hope Galaxy S22 will come with some new features and stronger in performance.
    I ended up deciding to just wait it out for a few more months. See what prices are looking like in spring, maybe even early summer. I am not hurting for a phone or anything. Just want something fresh with a better camera.
