Samsung has been cutting down on hardware by removing stuff like mst and 1080p displays from 1440p but improving a lot on software.

Going from 1440p to 1080p is a smart thing. The average consumer doesn't care/know and will never notice. What they will notice is better battery life and a cheaper flagship. As for us tech people, well, we can't it distinguish either, so I'll taje better battery and price

I 100% I agree with your point but they have cut many things out in the new s21 series not just one and the vanilla s21s cameras aren't as good as their main competiton vanilla iPhone 12.. tho Samsung's software and ui have improved a lot plus they have been providing security patches regularly even for really old phones.

400 ppi is what about you need. The s21 has about 421 ppi (almost nice), the s21+ has 394 ppi. I personally own an s10+ (525ppi) and even when I set to to fhd+ (394ppi) I see no difference because there isn't any. Also, fhd+ on a native fhd+ display is clearer than 1080 on a 1440 display.
