Since the Galaxy S21 has not yet been publicly revealed, we can only report the rumors we heard about its specifications and features.

Galaxy S20

CNET gave the Galaxy S20 base a rating of 8.7 out of 10, naming it the best in the S20 line. Our reviewer highlighted first-rate features, including a sharp screen and advanced camera skills, but noted that the $ 999 starting price was a little high for what you get. That price has since dropped to $ 800 at Amazon and Best Buy. But if the S21 includes many of the same features and a few more updates, opting for the latest phone may be the best choice, depending on the final price, of course.
