What does the Samsung Galaxy S21 have to offer?

Samsung’s Galaxy S21 is a standout smartphone. Packing a triple lens camera that comprises an ultrawide 12-megapixel lens, a 12-megapixel standard lens and a 64-megapixel telephoto lens, it also features a large display, a long-life battery and 5G connectivity.

Samsung Galaxy S21 display and design

At 6.2 inches, the Galaxy S21’s display takes up almost the entire front of the phone and is great for enjoying video while you’re the move.

Dynamic AMOLED 2X technology means it’s also notably bright and crisp, while the Eye Comfort shield helps to reduce eye-strain.

With rounded edges and a protruding camera module at the rear, the phone cleaves closely to the look and feel of previous Galaxy S smartphones.

However, this time around Samsung has constructed the screen from extra robust Corning Gorilla Glass Victus that it’s claimed is the toughest on any Samsung smartphone.

The Galaxy S21 comes in a choice of violet, silver or black, all of which are widely available. You can also get red and gold colourways if you buy directly from Samsung’s site.

Samsung Galaxy S21 5G camera

The S21’s triple-lens main, rear camera is billed as ‘pro-grade’. It’s a bold claim, but one that’s justified.

Not least because it allows you to shoot in 64-megapixel resolution, so your shots are clear and packed with detail.

A Night Mode illuminates scenes when you’re shooting in the dark, while the 30x digital zoom lets you get closer to your subject.

It’s also got a host of Portrait modes, with AI that analyses the shot to help you get the best image possible.

Samsung Galaxy S21 5G connectivity and processor

5G connectivity comes as standard on the Galaxy S21. That means that in areas where 5G is available, you can look forward to faster downloads and super smooth streaming.

A 5nm processor keeps things ticking over and handles demanding multi-tasking with ease.

Samsung Galaxy S21 5G battery

The S21 is powered by a large 4,000mAh Intelligent Battery, which you’ll need to keep its large screen on and should easily last you all day.

It’s also got a super fast charge mode for wired charging and a similarly fast wireless charging option (mat sold separately).

If you’re happy to share your charge with friends and family who are running out, the Galaxy S21 allows you to do so. You can do this by simply placing any wireless-charging-equipped phone against the back section of the S21.
