Leap into 2021 with the Samsung Galaxy S21 family of phones

In 2021, the world is concretely different. The phone is definitely the primary device for consuming multimedia content. Practically every one of us has at least one video streaming platform on our phone, where we spend a lot of our free time. We are all involved in social networks in one way or another. We all draw most of the information with this "miraculous" device, which in fact inadvertently becomes an extension of our brain. This is also why the presentation of phones Samsung Galaxy S21 so very exciting. It captures a piece of the future that is reflected in the present. In products that are the most anticipated smartphones in the world Android phones. Smartphones that keep setting benchmarks that other manufacturers must follow to stay in touch. This time they are coming right at the beginning of the year, which is not what we are used to, and at a time when it is most appropriate.

Series Galaxy S21 sets new standards. It's here 8K video, which is much improved. 108 MP photo resolution and a bunch of magic that you won't notice at first, but are little things that add to the overall user experience. The heavily modified design impresses from several aspects. And also with what a surprise when you find out that it is also coming to the S series S-Pen. The magic pen that convinces buyers of series phones Galaxy Note. And more and more little things that make up the complete picture of the new product.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 family of phones

This time family Galaxy S counts three main members: Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21 Plus and Galaxy S21 Ultra. The first two are more affordable this year 849 euros respectively 1049 euros, while the model S21 Ultra dedicated throne and also a premium price starting at 1249 euros.

In terms of price policy, we can observe a trend of price restraint adapted to the global situation and thus after a long time premium smartphones – so-called flagship phones – at a slightly more favorable price. Samsung is aware that customers in the year 2021 they buy more rationally, which is why we praise an appropriate pricing policy that is in tune with the times and the moment.

New design – more unique and bolder

Samsung has finally given up the rounded edges of its smartphone screens. And chose a very likeable minimalistic way of design, where nothing is too much and everything is just right. The main design element is definitely the shape of the camera system (Contour Cut), which, in combination with the "original" covers and accessories, looks extremely imaginative. Also because of the different ways of new color combinations. There are more of these to choose from than in the past. The design of the phone is more unique and stands out in the otherwise sad average of smartphones. And that's beyond great.

As for the dimensions, there are three phones of different sizes, namely S21 with 6.2", S21+ with 6.5" and S21+ Ultra with 6.8". Thus, the most compact is the S21, which is a true Swiss army knife, while the S21 Ultra is one of the larger phones on the market - comparable to the largest iPhone Pro MAX. But it seems that the dimensional ratios are excellent and appropriately proportioned.

All screens with 120 Hz option

It's with the screens Samsung took a step back. But only strategically and seemingly. Models have lower resolution S21 and S21+, which is only FHD. While the "flagship phone" with the label Ultra somehow has a QHD resolution. At Samsung, they made sure that all phone models have the possibility of a high screen refresh rate, which can work in all models at 120 Hz. The screens are also not rounded, but this solves some of the problem with screen protection, which is now easier and more durable. The screen is thus less sensitive to various falls and unpleasant events. The technology behind the screens is great Samsung AMOLED, which also has an excellent fingerprint sensor integrated into it. The very set of moves by Samsung suggests that it will Samsung allocated a lot of funds for the development of screens in the future to "foldables", which will be one of the main trends in the field in the coming years smartphone screens. Smartphones from this category will also be presented this year and will certainly pleasantly surprise us. At the same time, the rationalization of screens also means the possibility of "lower" prices and at the same time offering more in other areas, where users notice the difference more quickly.

Under the hood

Samsung has ensured that all devices meet a high standard of waterproofing IP68, which protects the heart of the phone – the processor Exynos 2100, which works with 5 nm technology and keeps him company from 8 GB to 12 GB of working memory. Data storage is available from 125 GB to 512 GB, this time without the possibility of expansion. The smallest S21 has a battery with 4000 mAh, while the largest pauses just 5000 mAh battery. All of them can be charged "contactless" with 15W charger. If you want to charge it "wired", via the USB-C port, the phones have fast charging with 25W. Perhaps it is not unimportant that the phones squeeze sound out of them in stereo technique. Which is completely logical in the times when we replaced the television with a telephone.

A digital pen can keep the new Galaxy S21 company

The bad news for the Galaxy Note series is that in the series Galaxy S pen support is coming. Otherwise, it is not the classic S-Pen of the "bigger" brother, but its somewhat simpler version. However, it seems that Samsung is looking to merge its NOTE series with the series in the future Galaxy S and thereby leave room for a new category of "folding" devices.

Ultra photography

And then there is photography, which is at the highest level right on the Galaxy S21 Ultra. This includes the most advanced camera system that allows you to take superb photos with your smartphone. Thus, the Galaxy S21 Ultra offers a main camera with four lenses (ultra-wide, wide and dual tele-lens). It includes a 108MP pro sensor that lets you capture 12-bit HDR photos with 64x richer colors and more than 3x wider dynamic range. For the first time at Galaxy smartphone, you can capture images with all lenses, including the front and main four lenses 4K resolution with speed 60 frames per second. In addition, with 12-bit RAW file you won't miss a single detail when editing your photos. Finally, the format we photographers love is also available on smartphones.

You don't have to worry about losing clarity when zooming in on your subject on the Galaxy S21 Ultra. Namely, it offers 100 times magnification, which is what drives it Samsung dual tele-lens system (3x and 10x optical - both equipped with Dual Pixel (2PD) AF). This way, you will always be able to take clear shots, no matter what magnification you use.

Galaxy S21 Ultra it also includes an improved Bright Night sensor that delivers exceptional shots even in low light. In addition, night mode, noise reduction and 12 MP non-binning technology will help you capture exceptional images.

Ultra selection

It's clearly the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G by far the best in the family and really the flagship phone. The only one in the family to keep the screen resolution at 1440p+ and is the first Samsung, which reaches 120 Hz at this resolution. At the same time, it is the only one with a screen that reaches a brightness of 1500 nits.

The camera is also much better. Here anyway Samsung is famous in the field of videography and is considered the best Android when it comes to video stabilization. This S21 Ultra just builds on that. On the other hand, the S21 Ultra is large and at the same time the most expensive. Charging doesn't seem to be as fast as some competitors. But still, up to 50 percent charging takes place in just 30 minutes. Which is by no means bad, just not best in class. Cheaper and slightly smaller brothers in the interior and base offer much of what the best have. This is also why they will be more rational choices. But for those who want the cherry on top of the cake, the choice will be completely easy. Or rather – ultra easy.
