Samsung Galaxy S21 – specs, cameras and features
At the bottom of Samsung’s next line of flagships is the standard Galaxy S21. It features a 6.2-inch flat AMOLED screen covered by Gorilla Glass Victus that supports Full-HD + resolution and a refresh rate of 120Hz. It also reaches a maximum brightness of 1,300 nits.

Samsung customers living in the United States will receive the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 888, which was recently evaluated. But the rest of the spec sheet must be identical.
Completing the package are 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage across Europe, with the option of a 256 GB model. In the US, Samsung is expected to offer 256 GB as standard. Neither variant supports microSD cards.
On the topic of cameras, Samsung is not making many changes. The leaked spec sheet shows that it will reuse the Galaxy S20’s main and ultra-wide cameras and add some software improvements.

Samsung is introducing an updated Moon Mode and an improved Night Mode with extra manual controls as well. Count on support for 8K video at 30fps and 4K video at 60fps too, and a dual recording mode that allows users to record video with the front and rear cameras at the same time.
Samsung Galaxy S21 + specs, cameras and features
The Samsung Galaxy S21 + is virtually identical to its sister device in every way. The only physical difference is the piercing screen, which measures 6.7 inches and houses a 10 megapixel selfie camera.
This larger screen naturally translates to a larger physical package. The Galaxy S21 + measures 161.4 x 75.6 x 7.8 mm and weighs 202g, while the regular Galaxy S21 reaches 151.7 x 71.2 x 7.9 mm and tilts the scale with 171g.
Both the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21 + run Android 11 and One UI 3.1 straight out of the box. There is also IP68 resistance to water and dust. It is important to note that Samsung once again ignored support for microSD cards.
