Samsung S21 Series Overview

The Samsung S21 Series is the successor to the S20 series that was launched last year. Like last year, the flagship series from Samsung features three new smartphones – S21, S21+, and S21 Ultra. The S21 and S21+ are very similar to each other whereas Samsung has placed the S21 Ultra as a more premium option than the two.

Display

The S21 series features edge-to-edge Dynamic AMOLED displays with center-placed punch-hole cutouts. All three devices support variable refresh rates upto 120Hz. The display on the S21 is the smallest at just 6.2-inch followed by the 6.7-inch display on the S21 Plus. The screen on the S21 Ultra measures 6.8-inch. While the screens of S21 and S21+ maxes out at FHD, the one on the S21 Ultra has QHD+ resolution. All the S21 series get the Gorilla Glass Victus treatment to protect the display from drops and scratches.

Performance

The global variant of the series comes with the Exynos 2100 chipset. With the new chipset, Samsung has ditched its custom Mongoose cores and opted for the Arm Cortex design. It is based on Samsung’s 5nm chipset and features one Cortex X1 cores, three Cortex A78 cores, and four Cortex A55 cores. Unlike last year, the S21 series units launching here feature integrated 5G modem and thus, are 5G ready. The phones ship with Android 11 with Samsung’s OneUI 3.1 on top. Samsung has added a chip-level solution along with Knox Vault for security.

Camera

Talking about the cameras, the S21 and S21+ feature a triple-camera setup consisting of three 12MP sensors. Samsung has improved the camera and AI features making it more convenient for users to take their favorite shots. Similarly, the Space Zoom has been further improved to yield better shots at 30x zoom.

The S21 Ultra, on the other hand, has a 108MP camera that lets users take 12-bit HDR photos with better color and wider dynamic range. It is accompanied by an ultra-wide camera and dual Telephoto lenses. The latter helps the phone achieve 100x Space Zoom. The S21 Ultra has some additional features like the Ultra-WideBand connectivity and support for the S pen which are both first for the series.
