In its new models, Samsung relies mainly on typical generational improvements.
Samsung announces at its just-launched Galaxy Unpacked event their new Galaxy S21 flagship models. As last year, the collection consists of three different model versions – the basic model, Plus and Ultra. The starting price of the collection has been lowered from last year and Samsung, like Apple and Xiaom, has left the charger out of the sales package.
All Galaxy S21 models have a glossy finish aluminum frame and a matte back cover. There are several color options and they depend on the model version. The Galaxy S21 base model has a plastic back and display glass with Corning’s latest generation Gorilla Glass Victus goggles. The S21 + and Ultra models also have a back cover from Victus. In the basic model and Plus, the external dimensions and weight have increased slightly, while in the Ultra, the external dimensions have decreased.
The Galaxy S21 Ultra’s display is a 6.8-inch gently curved AMOLED panel that supports WQHD resolution, an adaptive screen refresh rate of 120 Hz, and a maximum brightness of as much as 1,500 nits. The Galaxy S21 + has a flat 6.7-inch screen and a 6.2-inch basic – both support FullHD + resolution, 120 Hz adaptive screen refresh rate and a maximum brightness of 1,300 nits. The Ultra supports the S Pen and comes with optional flip-down flip cases.
Inside, all three models have a new Exynos 2100 system chip on the Finnish market, which utilizes ARM’s processor cores and graphics processor, and includes an integrated 5G modem. The Snapdragon 888 variant will also be available abroad. LPDDR5 RAM is 8, 12, or 16 GB, depending on the model, and UFS 3.1 storage is 128, 256, or 512 GB. Unfortunately, the memory card slot is omitted from the equipment.
On the camera side, Samsung has been working to make the camera frame more streamlined and is now located even closer to the phone frame from the top corner of the back cover. The base model and Plus offer a three-camera table setting, largely familiar from last year’s models, ie a large 12-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera with fixed focus and a 64-megapixel telephoto camera with a 3x hybrid zoom. The Ultra offers four rear cameras – a 108-megapixel main camera with a revamped nonacell sensor, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera with autofocus, a 10-megapixel 3x camera, and another 10-megapixel 10x camera. Video recording is at its best with 4K 60 FPS and 8K 24 FPS resolution.
