Samsung’s Galaxy S21 is a more refined, smarter and crucially cheaper new flagship phone.

The Galaxy S21 isn’t the star of Samsung’s S series in 2021, like we’ve been used to for most of the past decade, but it’s a solid smartphone choice with an impressive camera, powerful internals and great battery life. If you want the best of the best, look to the Galaxy S21 Ultra; but if you want a handset that’s cheaper than the Galaxy S20 was at launch, with a whole load of premium features, the Galaxy S21 is a delight to use, and will do you proud.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 is a highly respectable phone in just about every domain. Samsung has made some trade offs to hit a more competitive price this year, helping it keep an edge on the iPhone 12. With few upgrades over last year’s model, and minor ones at that, it feels more like a second Fan Edition than a truly new phone. It’s darn pretty though.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 drops the price down to $800 while maintaining some key features. There is a fast new processor, but the screen and cameras are not going to amaze.

Aside from a rejuvenated design and the obligatory spec bump, the Galaxy S21 does little to improve upon or surpass its predecessor (and in some areas steps backwards). That said, as ever this year’s S21 has everything you’ll likely want and need in a high-end 2021 smartphone, without pushing the boat out.

There are sacrifices yes, but this is still a great phone for a more enticing price. It has a lovely screen, a reliable camera and a slick new design that feels a little bit futuristic. The basics are here and they’re all done excellently.

Más allá de mostrar un diseño rejuvenecido y de aumentar las especificaciones, algo imprescindible, el Galaxy S21 hace poco para mejorar o superar a su predecesor (dando un paso atrás en algunas áreas).
De cualquier forma, el S21 tiene todo lo que probablemente desearás y necesitarás en un teléfono inteligente de gama alta de 2021.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 offers excellent performance at a fair price. On the other hand, there are also only a few changes compared with its predecessor, the Galaxy S20.

À première vue, Samsung a amélioré ses fonctionnalités, notamment avec la 5G en standard et la dernière puce Snapdragon 888/Exynos 2100, le un coût inférieur au Galaxy S20 (4G). En fait, la priorité a été donnée à ces améliorations pour que le S21 soit aussi convaincant et moderne que possible, sans pour pousser la barre très haut…
Le S21 de cette année est un léger rajeunissement du S20, il est aussi plus abordable, mais au prix de quelques sacrifices, le S21 standard étant le plus touché.
Pour la plupart, il reste un appareil tout aussi complet, performant et fiable que l’ont été les S20, S10 et au-delà.
Cependant, si vous cherchez à ce que Samsung repousse les limites de son fleuron, alors le Galaxy S21 n’est pas le téléphone qu’il vous faut.

El Galaxy S21 es el MVP de Samsung para 2021, su teléfono que ofrece lo mejor por el mejor precio. Tiene una gran pantalla de 6.2 pulgadas, nuevo software de cámara y las últimas CPUs de los teléfonos Android. La resolución es más baja, usa policarbonato en vez de trasera de cristal y elimina el almacenamiento microSD, todo en nombre del precio.
