Earlier this year, Samsung launched three new smartphones comprising its 2021 flagship Galaxy S21 series. The Galaxy S21 Ultra is the top-of-the-line model and showcases some impressive camera hardware, which will appeal to those looking for the ultimate flexibility, no matter the cost. We've already tested the Galaxy S21 Ultra, and we were impressed with it, but it costs over Rs. 1,00,000.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Summary

The Galaxy S21 has a 6.2-inch full-HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate.. It has Corning Gorilla Glass Victus on the display and a metal frame but the back is made out of plastic. The smartphone packs in a 4000mAh battery and does not get a charger in the box.

The Galaxy S21 is powered by the Exynos 2100 5G SoC and gets 8GB of RAM. You can choose between 128GB and 256GB of storage but it isn’t expandable. You get Android 11 out of the box with Samsung's One UI 3.0 on top. The Galaxy S21 offers good performance but the smaller battery capacity doesn’t let it last as long as the Galaxy S21+.

There is a triple camera setup with a 12-megapixel ultra-wide angle camera, a 12-megapixel wide-angle camera, and a 64-megapixel telephoto camera. For selfies, it has a 10-megapixel front camera. Camera performance of the Galaxy S21 is impressive in different lighting conditions and will not disappoint you. The small battery and the polycarbonate back are the only major cons for this smartphone.

smallest Oven

Shitiz Khurana (Apr 7, 2021) on Gadgets 360

phone which fits perfect in hand with one of the best display, however everything becomes useless when you can't even hold the phone. While Gaming Video calling charging and sometimes randomly, the phone heats to much that you can barely hold it in your hand. you feel the unnecessary burning sensation in your denim pocket. This is such a shame that a phone with the highest specs becomes an oven within half an hour of video calling. Shame on Samsung. Exynos should not even exist.

If you are switching from iPhone, buy this phone.

Prashit (Jun 3, 2021) on Amazon

It's been more then 3 months, I waited 3 months so that I challenge this phone in every possible way. It's a perfect buy.The only issue I faced, there are less options of backcover for S21 on Amazon ( not a product issue )
