The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is one of the best phones of 2021 but comes at an eye-watering price. In comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus has scaled back specifications. This means it’s a more affordable flagship from the Korean giant.
Design-wise, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus lives up to the company’s reputation for sleek and stylish handsets. The matte glass covering the back looks seriously smart. Meanwhile, the rear camera module is tucked into the top right and seamlessly curves around the edge of the phone, while the hole-punch front camera takes up very little space on the top of the display.
As a whole, the large 6.7-inch AMOLED display is a joy to use and will be perfect for those looking for a larger screen than on the S21. The 1,300 nits peak brightness improves the display’s visibility, which alongside the HDR10+ support makes for colourful, immersive video viewing.
