Hi,
So for the first time ever I'm considering buying a new phone at launch.
I've had the S6 for nearly six years and in that time it's never missed a beat and even now will still just about go one day on a charge, hands down it's the best phone I've ever owned and I've taken some stunning wildlife pics/video with it even if I do say so myself.
Thing is, the home button has finally given up and although I can still use the phone, it does make navigation a bit more of a pain.
Seeing that I'm waaaay behind in terms of more recent models I thought I'd do a quick comparison between the S6 and the newest model I can buy and I was rather surprised at the specs, particularly about the screen.
Now I know you could waste years of your life arguing the in's and out's of resolutions and megapixels etc but...
S6: Quad HD, 1440 x 2560, ppi 577, rear camera 16mp
S21: FHD+, 1080 x 2400, ppi 421, rear camera 12mp (with a selection of clever zooms)
...so if I'm reading that right, is the screen resolution on the S21 'worse' (I use that term carefully) than my S6?
I appreciate there are many, many areas where the S21 will simply blow the S6 out of the water but for someone who takes a huge number of outdoor pics of birds, insects flowers etc I guess screen and camera are important.
Thanks for your time.
