In January of 2021, Samsung introduced a new series of top devices, including this Galaxy S21 +, the intermediate step between the normal S21 and the S21 Ultra. It comes with 8GB of RAM and two storage variants: 128GB and 256GB. So you are free to choose how much storage you need!
The S21 + is equipped with impressive specifications such as a triple camera setup and a powerful processor. The battery lasts all day on one charge. It is available in three colours: black, silver and purple.
Let’s delve right into the full features, specs and price of the Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus 5G.
Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus 5G Full Features (Preview)
The display of this phone has a size of 6.7 inches. Thanks to the high resolution and AMOLED technology, images come out sharp and vivid. The device has thin and flat-screen edges so that the entire front is used as a screen.
It uses a technology called adaptive refresh rate. The maximum refresh rate is 120Hz, and this is only turned on when it actually works, as with some games. If you have an app open that does not support an increased refresh rate, it will switch back to 60Hz so that the battery does not drain as quickly.
On the back, the S21 + is equipped with three lenses. The ultra-wide-angle lens captures a wider viewing angle, useful for landscapes or groups of people. With the telephoto lens, you can zoom in up to three times. On the front, the camera is located in the display, in a hole at the top of the screen.
The S21 + is equipped with the Exynos 2100 processor. This was developed by Samsung itself and ensures a fast performance, so you can run demanding apps without any problems. The RAM is 8GB, so multitasking is no problem.
With a capacity of 4800mAh, the battery has enough power to get through the day without having to recharge in between. Charging is possible with a power of up to 25W. Chargers with less power are also an option, but charging takes a bit longer.
The S21 series does not include a charger, only a cord. It is possible to use the adapter from your previous phone, or you can purchase one separately. You also no longer get earplugs, because Samsung assumes that you already have them.
The 6.8-inch Galaxy S21 Ultra and the 6.2-inch display Galaxy S21 are also announced at the same time.
