Reviews Galaxy S21 series: So beautiful, Samsung!

The Galaxy S21 series are the lowest-priced high-end phones Samsung has produced for many years. Meanwhile, the S21 Ultra has a starting price of $ 1,199. With this strategy, it is clear that Samsung is positioning S21 and S21 as wallet-friendly products, while the S21 Ultra is the product that wants to bring the highest possible experience on a phone.

The back of the Galaxy S21 is made up of polycarbonate material covered with a hard material layer to prevent scratches. A noteworthy change is that instead of being machined as before, the Galaxy S21 has a rough back surface that helps reduce sweat adhesion and fingerprints.

The rear camera cluster consisting of three Samsung lenses is still quite convex, but now has a fancy design and fits more smoothly with the body when it is almost directly connected from the side of the camera.

The back of the phone is curved and beveled to reduce the feeling of handcuffing for the user during use. Both the Samsung Galaxy S21 and S21 don't have a 3.5mm headphone jack. In addition, since the S21 series, Samsung also does not attach the charger and wired headset inside the box.

S21 and S21 respectively have 6.2-inch and 6.7-inch screens with super thin bezels, but no curved screens.

The front camera is neatly arranged in a small 'mole' located in the center of the screen horizontally to optimize display space. S21 and S21 both have displays with 120 Hz refresh rates that can be optimally customized according to the content displayed on the screen.

Unlike the S21 and S21 models, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra has a Gorilla Glass Victus coated back. However, the common point is that the back of the device is also completed with a rough effect.

The camera cluster is the highlight on the design of the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. Same design philosophy with S21 and S21, but the camera cluster on the Ultra version is much more pitiful. With a 108 MP standard lens, supported by a 12 MP ultra wide-angle lens and two telephoto cameras with 3x and 10x optical zoom, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra gives users the maximum hybrid zoom capability. 100x.

On the front, users have a 6.8-inch screen with a 'mole' design similar to the S21 and S21.

However, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra has a curved screen that is full of edges. This is a typical design on high-end Samsung models.
