@@sarahapr I own one of these S21+. I´m not a power user so I cant really say what you expect from a switch, but its a big screen and a good one at that, battery life is suffcient I would say. The Android vs IOS is another matter though. If you own MAC stuff then it´s should I say a new "experience", or should I call it freedom in usage of the phone.
The first review I've seen where the reviewer prefers the silver version like I do. Ironically you do make the black look more appealing with the snow contrast lol. I might go with black for more storage :/
I testet both the Ultra and the Plus. For me personaly is the Plus the better option. Its lighter and flat and cameramodul isn't so bulky, that's important for me because i use a dji mavic mini, and the Ultra is nearly to big for dji's transponder. A little sad is, that the Plus is not exact so smooth as the Ultra. But now i'm fine with the Plus.
Hi a great review I went for the S21 plus Violet-gold colour & I bought a good quality clear cover with a frosted back so is looking very smart, I got mine delivered on the 28th a day early, so I have been using it for a couple of days now & testing the camera in my local London area when we take our dog for walks, I’m very impressed with the cameras, also it’s a very fast phone with a great audio quality for filming & listings to music via Bluetooth with my large Sony headphones it really sounds great & also the stereo speakers are very good the battery is great and screen is brilliant, this is a really nice upgrade from my S10 lite keep your great videos coming cheers and peace ✌️
You mentioned bluetooth and audio. I have just ordered the phone myself and am looking forward to seeing the difference from my older Sony Xperia. I mainly use Sony bluetooth headphones so am wondering how loud the volume goes when using headphones. On my Sony the volume is actually quite poor despite good quality sound. Also, does it cope well with moving shots?
Phantom black may be boring, but is the only color that have available the 256gb of storage. Anyway you can put a case on it with the color you prefer. I got one case navy blue color with the camera area in yellow and simply looks beautiful how the color contrast👌🏼
samsung should make 450 ppi as standard the difference is noticeable when using FB/or readign pdf, where attached video/picture may blur a bit on S21+ due to less than 400 ppi
I switched from LG V30, which I loved dearly, to the s21plus. Wow, I could never go back now, the s21 is just a more competent phone with a more intuitive sophisticated UI and experience with an actual battery. I don't even have the s21 on battery saving mode and it trounces the v30 battery which needed to be on power saver mode 24/7 365. And The s21 is fast. Opened a link in Samsung internet and selected to open in Chrome and it was open before I could even lift my finger from the screen.
@@Dragontron20 ye it was a beast man, and I would have stayed with it longer but battery started slipping after 3 years and texting was just horrendous. Haptics seemed to work only occasionally and certain notifications like email just weren't popping up. After switching to s21 the v30 seems more like a toy, though I loved the manual mode camera on that and do miss it.
Unless your really into taking pictures I think the biggest factor between ultra and plus is weight and size difference. I wasn't going to carry around a brick as in the ultra for features that I don't need or that do not make much difference. I went with plus. Quad display is very hard to tell on such small screens. Just my opinion.
I think anything over 1080p for a smartphone is a scam. My old Galaxy Note 5 had a 1440p panel with a PPI of 518. My S21+ has a PPI of 394. I can say with certainty I cannot tell any difference in sharpness between the two. I have 20/20 vision. Samsung is smart and cut costs not trying to put a 1440p panel just for the sake of bragging about specs.
Really regretting ordering the black after your comparison pic at 1:25 shows how much bigger it makes the bezels look compared to the silver or gold side rails!! Oh well, I'll slap a case on it anyway :')
Samsung s20+ 22 months looking to upgrade and plan to hang in there with Samsung galaxy phones ! I'm most likely going with the s22+ for my future upgrade! Thanks for your review!
At-last someone said it, silver looks waaay waay better than the overhyped and boring phantom black. Silver looks so premium, u have to check it out in store yourself to know, it reflects lights and shimmers in different colours (unlike black which is just.. well black). Also the silver rings around the camera shine like diamonds when light reflects on it, it definitely is the best looking phone I have seen (videos don't do justice really)
Thanks for the mini rant! I absolutely agree 👍 Silver looks a million times better. This is gradient silver that has many colors/reflections. Black the most boring color. 😴
Its not overrated Phantom black because the s21 + is just normal black, only the Ultra variant use the best black. IMO it's the best I've ever seen : )
@@David_Sulaiman the black colors on S21+ and S21 Ultra are exactly the same. It’s also called the same, phantom black. Unlike his two brothers, S21 has different color option which is gray.

After years my S8 looks like new, except some miniature, near invisible scratches on unprotected (without protection glass or etc.) Gorilla display.

I just moved from iPhone to Samsung. I haven't used a android OS in forever. I have a question. I'm noticing with my Galaxy S21 Ultra it doesn't stay on 100 percent whatsoever after unplugging it from the charger is that normal? It drops to 99 in less than 5 minutes I even did test dropping resolution and it's still happens
@@someoneyouneverknow7529 Oh okay thank you maybe that's why and on iPhone maybe the new ones but my iPhone XS didn't it would stay on 100 for a good while.
I think Samsung only charges up to about 93% to save battery degradation whereas the iPhone charges to 100% but does it very slowly taking 20 mins plus to charge the last 5% (trickle charge) to stop degradation. Samsung has much bigger batteries so can stop early. Both methods are great to maintain better cycle counts so I would not worry about it> I stop charging at 80% to get even better battery cycles and that is why many computers have a software feature to stop charging between 80-90%.
its just an android thing man lol. my note 10 plus does that. no biggy u know. still able to last me the day overall. but u are right about apple. my iPad stays 100 without use for a while. That's one thing I will give to apple. but u got to remember that there are way more features running such as the always on display and stuff.
@@gamechanger2815 when you made such comment did you even use your brain to process ? Its not about that, it's about Samsung taking off important features one by one each year you trying to look smart but you actually sounded like a fool lol.
I got $550 trade in for my s10e, that's more than I paid for it, lol. I needed a bigger battery so it worked out. No SD card slot, Samsung really needs to rethink their design decisions, this is one of the dumbest moves I've ever seen. My music collection is nearly 230gb alone. But I'm giving it a chance, and looking forward to getting mine.
No charger, that gives the counterfeiters free rain, because their so good at counterfeiting you can’t tell if you have a genuine charger, are Samsung going to waiver their warranty if the phone is damaged by dud leads damage the phone, or is the onus on the owner....
@@MrBoombast64 I have a p30 pro but I'll give it to my father so I want a new phone that can replace my p30 pro.. I want it for photos Instagram etc and whatever my p30 pro did perfectly
The 1080p Resolution on such a big device sets me off. I guess I'll wait till the Ultra gets around 900-800€. My mate 20 pro still does it pretty well 😁 (although I can't wait to have a 120Hz phone)
@@AndiMon64 Samsung might let you trade in phone for credit on ultra. I got the ultra but ultimately gave it back for the s21 plus because it's flat screen, lightweight and the screen is pretty good. The ultra has the best screen I have ever seen.
I think 90% of galaxy S series users will change resolution to 1080p no matter how big the original native resolution is. Even S20, S20+, S20 Ultra, Note 20 Ultra, and many other phones with a QHD resolution default out of the box to FHD+ anyway
@@CornyEveryth1ng to be all fair there isn't much any difference the only thing that comes down is the resolution its just the s21 ultra has a tat higher resolution and bigger screen
Good review!!! However, I'm still puzzled as to why this phone even exists. I'm also questioning the smaller of the S21 as it is now. In any case Samsung should have released just 2 at most with the exact same features just different in sizes (6.0-6.2 and 6.7-6.8inches). This would have made more sense.
@@patcasias6556 The S21 and the S21 plus are a waste of materials and completely unnecessary when you already have the S20FE and the rest of The S20s for the same price or less.
@@Soto-Tech2020 yeah. For people who want the s20s. I personally love the design of the s21. We all have our own opinion. Don't get it confused with fact
Its hilarious that Samsung is giving 25 fast watt charger with mid range models which people buy more but not in S21 series where we have to pay more than 1000 bucks if they really want control E garbage so they need to stop charger with mid range phones where people need to pay much less and people buy mid range in millions of units but they should give charger in S21 line up coz of high prices and less sales compare to mid ranger
I have a lot of questions 1. Which mid ranger Samsung phone has/had a 25w charger? They all come with 15w, no? 2. The Mid rangers, especially the A50 series are their best selling phones, they lose all the premium part to Apple. If Samsung wants people to continue buying their A50 lines, you bet your ass they are going to include chargers. 3. If you are already paying 1000 dollars for a phone, the chances are, you already might have a 25w or higher charger, or some sort of USB C charging brick. In my country, Samsung is offering a 50 discount for 25W chargers for anyone that purchases the new S21 series. Sure they could have just included them in the box, but I have plenty of chargers that I still use, and that choice of not having chargers in the box contributed to lowering the price of the phone, which I am much more happy. Also, you don't HAVE to buy a 25w or higher charger from Samsung too. Just get whatever company that makes them cheaper than Samsung.
@@amit9838831064 Huh, I guess I never knew the M series that much since it is pretty much an Indian exclusive device. That said, the M51 has a 25w charger because it has a 7000mah battery. I can definitely understand that. Charging that with a 15w power brick would take forever.
If you are buying flagships is it not obvious you can afford to buy another charger if you need to? But if you are buying a $250-400 device then you maybe have less disposable income so a charger is included. Seems pretty obvious to me! Hopefully, in time Samsung will stop all included chargers as there must be tens of millions sitting around, effectively e-waste.
I hope for next year Samsung makes the S22+ and Ultra Galaxy smaller. I would like to see the following sizes: S22 (6.2"), S22+ (6.5") and S22 Ultra (6.7"). Also the 2400×1080 screen resolution on the S21+ is not match for the screen size, you can see the pixels specially if you change the font size to a bigger size and if you change the screen mode to natural, it looks terrible when you compare it to the S20 with the same resolution and screen mode. I can't recommend the S21+.
IMO silver looked super cheap and tacky esp the mismatched camera cutout.. the pastel colors are all so ugly, wish they went with a few vibrant colors or darker sleek ones seems targeted for female customers. anyways black looks best but i dislike how all the pics ive seen its too noticable of imperfections pop. pretty dissapointed by that. oh and it doesnt even matter to 96% of buyers cause a phone case is gonna cover it anyways, unless you get a clear tacky case
You should mention that having 3 lenses is a marketing scam: this phone has no optical zoom and I literally returned for a s21 ultra after two days of use! Not to mention the downgrade in RAM and screen resolution from previous generations.
@@privacyhelp I'm sorry my friend, but it has already been well proven. And if you need more proof, try taking a 64Mpx photo, you'll notice it'll use the "Tele" lens with no zoom, because it won't crop in that mode
S21+ seems a tough buy. I think the extra £200 would be money well spent and a good investment if you are keeping your phone for 3-4 years, an extra £1 a week? Saying that, Samsung has not won me over with the s21 line and my suggestion to all non-Samsung superfans is to wait for the many incoming phones that will offer more value and better specs than the s21+. Samsung should have by then adjusted its price to a more reasonable competitive level. The release price should be preserved strictly for the Samsung Fanclub who buy Samsung every cycle. No one that knows anything about phones would buy the s21+ at $1000 when in a few months it will be $750 or less to compete with OP8P, OPPO Find X3, Mi11 Pro, Xperia 1 mk 3, etc.
At the end of the day it's all about user experience and a lot people just like OneUI so rather you buy the S21 or another Samsung, they still win average consumer don't care about specs one reason why Sony phones don't sell even know they may have better hardware people care user experience & ecosystem
Only people who haven't used the Galaxy Note 20 ultra would think that the S21 ultra is a great phone. 😂. Ive had the privilege of using both phones and I quickly returned the Galaxy S21 ultra and went back to my Galaxy Note 20 ultra. Lol
@@AlexBrown-gt2hj one thing Samsung done right is the coating on the back glass. See a fingerprint, wipe it off with your fingerprint 😆. I'm not a photo guy, but photo's are great. I'm a video guy, and uhd 60 fps are great. The 8K 24 fps I won't ever use, as it's not as smooth as the 4K recording. Screen record should get a major update, specially when playing games and trying to record the game. I dropped my screen record to 720p, but my game still lags while recording. I do miss the headphone jack, but I still use my G7 as my main device. Overall the S21+ is a great phone. Sound is perfect, and video playback seems good too. Although I'd love to switch my resolution like I can on the G7. There's so many more I can comment on, but this text already too long 😆🤣
@@AlexBrown-gt2hj 😆🤣. My pleasure. I don't think anyone could go wrong with it. They say the S21 is just as good, but I wanted the bigger screen and the glass at the back, but was not willing to spend the extra on the Ultra. The extra money I would've spend on the Ultra, I bought a charger and headphones and hdmi cables to use dex on my tv(coz it don't support wireless dex. Guess it's not that smart of a TV after all)
Samsung's One UI has so many features it makes me dizzy? The 888 is blazing, with the 120hz, improved 📸's & 🔋. The Victus glass is also welcomed? My two complaints, no charger or micro s/d, but I can live without out them? Other than that a fantastic performer!
I thought the same, I had an s10 and just got an s21 and let me tell you the 120 hertz screen is unbelievably better. Its all around a great upgrade from the 10 series, I highly recommend it.
@@cscreezyproductions people are judging this 1080P 120hz screen without even using it. I bet 99 Percent people will prefer 1080P 120hz screen rather than 1440p 60hz screen. Because smoothness is all that matters!
I changed from a S9+ to the S21+ about a week ago and all I can say is, the s9+ has a great screen and when put in WQHD mode the display is very colorful, sharp ,an incredible display . I thought 1080p would be a downgrade but let me tell you , it doesn't matter. Somehow the screen feels much better , of course if you put a very high definition video on with WQHD and you really look for details , you might spot them but on a daily basis usage , I doubt anyone would notice them too much. All I can say is that the screen feels very responsive, with 120hz it's so responsive. You have to try it to realize why it's worth giving it a go.
Bro get better at cod mobile it made me cringe how you played, please get better at it. It's literally eye pain. And pubg mobile too, you would die in 2 seconds if you played an actual match instead of playing against bots
Ohh comon SAMSUNG very disappointed with new release Your not IOS and you are Android regarding with the box is only cord are included incomplete and also no SD card its some what the HEAL SAMSUNG...?
@Joe W I know people who still use them. Samsung is taking away so many good features. When my S8 is gone (which isn't anytime soon) I'm going to switch to a another phone brand thats actually keeping the basic features unless samsung stops taking away the good features.

No charger, that gives the counterfeiters free rain, because their so good at counterfeiting you can’t tell if you have a genuine charger, are Samsung going to waiver their warranty if the phone is damaged by dud leads damage the phone, or is the onus on the owner....
Iphone 12, iPhone 12 mini or s21 plus and why?

Tech line made me buy that samsung a5.. now im planning to get the either of the s21 series.. of course.. he will decide whether to or what to get.
Haha awesome :) yes it’s still a good series of phones
It's the same old same old ; in just a mere couple of months it'll be outdated. A phone, is a phone is a phone.
The 1080p Resolution on such a big device sets me off.
I guess I'll wait till the Ultra gets around 900-800€.
My mate 20 pro still does it pretty well 😁 (although I can't wait to have a 120Hz phone)
The display is as big as the ultra.
@@marufio so what? It is 1440p
@@AndiMon64 Samsung might let you trade in phone for credit on ultra.
I got the ultra but ultimately gave it back for the s21 plus because it's flat screen, lightweight and the screen is pretty good. The ultra has the best screen I have ever seen.
@@marufio i have the ultra for 2 month now and i love it.
I think 90% of galaxy S series users will change resolution to 1080p no matter how big the original native resolution is. Even S20, S20+, S20 Ultra, Note 20 Ultra, and many other phones with a QHD resolution default out of the box to FHD+ anyway
I got my S21+ for $650 at Wal-Mart!! I absolutely love it!!
S21 ultra here 😃
@@Samsung-galaxy1993 I wanted the Ultra.. but couldn't afford to shell out $1200
@@CornyEveryth1ng to be all fair there isn't much any difference the only thing that comes down is the resolution its just the s21 ultra has a tat higher resolution and bigger screen
Good review!!! However, I'm still puzzled as to why this phone even exists. I'm also questioning the smaller of the S21 as it is now. In any case Samsung should have released just 2 at most with the exact same features just different in sizes (6.0-6.2 and 6.7-6.8inches). This would have made more sense.
It's for people on a budget buddy
@@patcasias6556 S20 FE?
@@Soto-Tech2020 the s21 and s21 plus and s21 ultra are all for people with different price ranges. That's why they all exist
@@patcasias6556 The S21 and the S21 plus are a waste of materials and completely unnecessary when you already have the S20FE and the rest of The S20s for the same price or less.
@@Soto-Tech2020 yeah. For people who want the s20s. I personally love the design of the s21. We all have our own opinion. Don't get it confused with fact

I have the Silver... looks amazing. It's really a great phone.
Can u compare s21 vs s21 ultra camera

I'd say 2/3rds of the time I'm zooming in more than just a little is so I can read something like a sign from far away haha
How bad of a company do you have to be to not ship devices with a charger? If I'd have know this I wouldn't have ordered one.😡
thanks for video now i think to buy s21 no s21 plus because it s as (i don t need good camera) if i buy plus i buy just for glass
Is this Russia?? So much snow
Its hilarious that Samsung is giving 25 fast watt charger with mid range models which people buy more but not in S21 series where we have to pay more than 1000 bucks if they really want control E garbage so they need to stop charger with mid range phones where people need to pay much less and people buy mid range in millions of units but they should give charger in S21 line up coz of high prices and less sales compare to mid ranger
I have a lot of questions
1. Which mid ranger Samsung phone has/had a 25w charger? They all come with 15w, no?
2. The Mid rangers, especially the A50 series are their best selling phones, they lose all the premium part to Apple. If Samsung wants people to continue buying their A50 lines, you bet your ass they are going to include chargers.
3. If you are already paying 1000 dollars for a phone, the chances are, you already might have a 25w or higher charger, or some sort of USB C charging brick. In my country, Samsung is offering a 50 discount for 25W chargers for anyone that purchases the new S21 series. Sure they could have just included them in the box, but I have plenty of chargers that I still use, and that choice of not having chargers in the box contributed to lowering the price of the phone, which I am much more happy.
Also, you don't HAVE to buy a 25w or higher charger from Samsung too. Just get whatever company that makes them cheaper than Samsung.
@@03Chris25 lol just check Samsung M31s and M51
@@amit9838831064 Huh, I guess I never knew the M series that much since it is pretty much an Indian exclusive device. That said, the M51 has a 25w charger because it has a 7000mah battery. I can definitely understand that. Charging that with a 15w power brick would take forever.
@@03Chris25 My A71 came with a 25 watt fc. Glad I don't need to get another charger when my S21 arrives.
If you are buying flagships is it not obvious you can afford to buy another charger if you need to? But if you are buying a $250-400 device then you maybe have less disposable income so a charger is included. Seems pretty obvious to me! Hopefully, in time Samsung will stop all included chargers as there must be tens of millions sitting around, effectively e-waste.
Looking at a new phone
And price being near the same, I'm having a bit of hard time deciding between s21+ and oneplus 9 pro.
Which did u go with ?? Curious to know as iam in the same spot
@@MohamedMostafa-or5iv i ended up going with s21 ultra. Could get one for a good deal from my provider and with 256gb.
I hope for next year Samsung makes the S22+ and Ultra Galaxy smaller. I would like to see the following sizes: S22 (6.2"), S22+ (6.5") and S22 Ultra (6.7"). Also the 2400×1080 screen resolution on the S21+ is not match for the screen size, you can see the pixels specially if you change the font size to a bigger size and if you change the screen mode to natural, it looks terrible when you compare it to the S20 with the same resolution and screen mode. I can't recommend the S21+.
Very well said! 🙂
It's not the screen size it's the weight of the ultra that throws me off it needs to lose weight and be flat screen
I just got an iphone 11 a few months ago and it’s going bye bye , Hello s21+
IMO silver looked super cheap and tacky esp the mismatched camera cutout.. the pastel colors are all so ugly, wish they went with a few vibrant colors or darker sleek ones seems targeted for female customers. anyways black looks best but i dislike how all the pics ive seen its too noticable of imperfections pop. pretty dissapointed by that. oh and it doesnt even matter to 96% of buyers cause a phone case is gonna cover it anyways, unless you get a clear tacky case
When someone rattles off all the downsides and you don't care at all about those features *chefs kiss
What's the difference between the S21 and S21+
@@wityenthaoWell I just order the S21 Not the plus though is it still good
Size and battery ditto and glass back is the things that differs.
The s21 is compact only 6.2 inch while the plus is 6.7 inch.
You should mention that having 3 lenses is a marketing scam: this phone has no optical zoom and I literally returned for a s21 ultra after two days of use! Not to mention the downgrade in RAM and screen resolution from previous generations.
I would love the ultra but it was too bulky and heavy.
I think you bought a fake phone. S21+ tele cam has optical zoom and digital zoom
@@privacyhelp I'm sorry my friend, but it has already been well proven. And if you need more proof, try taking a 64Mpx photo, you'll notice it'll use the "Tele" lens with no zoom, because it won't crop in that mode
Cant find esim on my s21plus exynos
they had sd cards for years?.. nah man. they haven't had it for 2 generations i think
Thanks! Great video 🤩
S21+ seems a tough buy. I think the extra £200 would be money well spent and a good investment if you are keeping your phone for 3-4 years, an extra £1 a week?
Saying that, Samsung has not won me over with the s21 line and my suggestion to all non-Samsung superfans is to wait for the many incoming phones that will offer more value and better specs than the s21+. Samsung should have by then adjusted its price to a more reasonable competitive level. The release price should be preserved strictly for the Samsung Fanclub who buy Samsung every cycle. No one that knows anything about phones would buy the s21+ at $1000 when in a few months it will be $750 or less to compete with OP8P, OPPO Find X3, Mi11 Pro, Xperia 1 mk 3, etc.
At the end of the day it's all about user experience and a lot people just like OneUI so rather you buy the S21 or another Samsung, they still win average consumer don't care about specs one reason why Sony phones don't sell even know they may have better hardware people care user experience & ecosystem

What's the silver like in real life? How's your experience with the phone? ♥️
@@AlexBrown-gt2hj one thing Samsung done right is the coating on the back glass. See a fingerprint, wipe it off with your fingerprint 😆. I'm not a photo guy, but photo's are great. I'm a video guy, and uhd 60 fps are great. The 8K 24 fps I won't ever use, as it's not as smooth as the 4K recording. Screen record should get a major update, specially when playing games and trying to record the game. I dropped my screen record to 720p, but my game still lags while recording. I do miss the headphone jack, but I still use my G7 as my main device. Overall the S21+ is a great phone. Sound is perfect, and video playback seems good too. Although I'd love to switch my resolution like I can on the G7. There's so many more I can comment on, but this text already too long 😆🤣
@@Ivandre423 haha thanks, think I'll get this phone, thanks to you 😌😅
@@AlexBrown-gt2hj 😆🤣. My pleasure. I don't think anyone could go wrong with it. They say the S21 is just as good, but I wanted the bigger screen and the glass at the back, but was not willing to spend the extra on the Ultra. The extra money I would've spend on the Ultra, I bought a charger and headphones and hdmi cables to use dex on my tv(coz it don't support wireless dex. Guess it's not that smart of a TV after all)

Samsung's One UI has so many features it makes me dizzy? The 888 is blazing, with the 120hz, improved 📸's & 🔋. The Victus glass is also welcomed? My two complaints, no charger or micro s/d, but I can live without out them? Other than that a fantastic performer!

1080p screen in 2021 ? ... No thanks.
Seems like a downgrade from my S10+ .
I thought the same, I had an s10 and just got an s21 and let me tell you the 120 hertz screen is unbelievably better. Its all around a great upgrade from the 10 series, I highly recommend it.
@@cscreezyproductions people are judging this 1080P 120hz screen without even using it. I bet 99 Percent people will prefer 1080P 120hz screen rather than 1440p 60hz screen. Because smoothness is all that matters!
I changed from a S9+ to the S21+ about a week ago and all I can say is, the s9+ has a great screen and when put in WQHD mode the display is very colorful, sharp ,an incredible display . I thought 1080p would be a downgrade but let me tell you , it doesn't matter. Somehow the screen feels much better , of course if you put a very high definition video on with WQHD and you really look for details , you might spot them but on a daily basis usage , I doubt anyone would notice them too much. All I can say is that the screen feels very responsive, with 120hz it's so responsive. You have to try it to realize why it's worth giving it a go.
@@Ioan9598 it's brighter too than S9 plus
@@Ioan9598 Agree my friend. The difference between WQHD and 1080p is so small with such small screens.
