The product portfolio of the South Korean manufacturer of consumer electronics has expanded to include three new flagship smartphones. Samsung Galaxy S 21 5G is available in Basic, Plus and Ultra options. I had the pleasure to test the S variant 21 5G in the Phantom Violet color, which, in the opinion of me and my friends, is the most attractive. Yes, the model with the note Ultra in the name offers a higher resolution, a larger battery and 108 MP wide-angle photographic unit and 40 MP selfie camera, however S 21 5G absolutely not nothing to be ashamed of. In addition, the basic version of this year’s flagship from the Galaxy S family costs “only” 3899 PLN. Although for many it may seem like a high amount, it is an acceptable amount in relation to other market flagships.

Samsung offers two flagship lines of smartphones. The Galaxy Note series, which is distinguished by a more formal character, is addressed to the broadly understood business and creative individuals. The S-Pen stylus support is also important here, as it guarantees access to many useful software solutions in applications. Notes, sketches, and spreadsheet handling with a stylus can convince you. The Galaxy S series is a slightly looser approach. This form can be directed to virtually all customers who expect a complete device that works perfectly and looks the same. Samsung Galaxy S 21 5G, the newest representative of the series, represents it with dignity, as I found out during the tests. Of course, not everything is perfect here, but more on that in a moment.

We tested the latest flagship smartphone Samsung Galaxy S 21 5G. We already know how the Samsung Exynos chip 2100 has proven itself in everyday use and in synthetic tests . Although the set does not include a charger, the manufacturer made sure that we could call the equipment complete.

Samsung Galaxy S smartphone test 20 FE – cheaper, not worse

Samsung Galaxy S 21 5G works under the control of the latest Exynos chip 2100 made in a 5nm technological process. There is also a variant with Snapdragon 888, but it is not available in Europe. The manufacturer ensures that Exynos is equally efficient in terms of efficiency and work on battery and this is largely true. The device is supported by 8 GB RAM and Mali-G graphics 78 MP 14. The “battery” with a relatively low capacity 4000 mAh is responsible for energy efficiency. However, there is no reason to worry – the cell performed great in the tests. Pictures taken with a photo unit of 12 MP wide angle, 12 Ultra Wide Angle MP and 64 Telephoto MP we will write to 128 GB or 256 GB of fast memory UFS 3.1. The second of these variants takes part in the tests.

For Samsung Galaxy S smartphone 21 5G version with 128 GB of memory you have to pay 3899 PLN for the data. Option with 256 GB of memory is an expense 4099 PLN. The difference is not huge, but the profitability of the surcharge is a highly debatable matter. The cheaper option will be successful for the lion’s share of users. The title device is basically the direct equivalent of the Apple iPhone 12 in the Android world. The equipment, however, is several hundred zlotys cheaper than the product of the Cupertino giant. However, we can get the Samsung Galaxy Note for a similar amount 20 and ASUS ROG Phone 3, which are in some respects more efficient than the aforementioned device. Galaxy S 21 5G wins in terms of design and photographic possibilities.
