Samsung Galaxy S21 5G Phantom Violet SM-G991BZVGXNZ review
There's a lift in design for the Galaxy S21, resulting in a phone that looks fresh and exciting, and a great display, offering adaptive refresh rates. While there's plenty of power - and a flagship performance - the camera doesn't reach the highs that you get from the Galaxy S21 Ultra, leaving this...
Pros:
- Distinctive design
- Waterproofing
- Great display
- Smooth and powerful performance
- Decent battery life
Cons:
- No microSD card slot
- Camera performance could be better
- Easily undercut by the S20 FE

It has certainly been a minute since we’ve made device-related videos, but with the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21 Ultra finally in house, we get to do just that. Tim has already unboxed the Galaxy S21 Ultra, leaving me with the “First 10 Things” duties. Ahhh, fresh videos. In this lengthy video, you...

Review: Samsung's Galaxy S21 is the no-brainer upgrade phone
Samsung's made some wise choices to get the price down on the Galaxy S21. Here's what we think of the new 5G phone. The Galaxy S21 lineup is now available. Before you buy one, the biggest takeaway you need to know about the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G, along with the Galaxy S21 Plus 5G and Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G, is that Samsung cut the US price of each by $200 (the savings are less in other countries). Clearly this wasn't done out of generosity and Samsung's made trade-offs to hit that lower price on the Galaxy S21: The wall charger and headphones don't come in the box, the phone doesn't have a microSD card slot for expanded storage and it has 4GB of RAM less than the S20. Samsung also removed half of the pixels from the screen and replaced the Gorilla Glass from the back with polycarbonate, which is a nice way of saying plastic.
Pros:
- Lower price
- Design
- Android 11/OneUI 3.1
- High refresh rate screen
Cons:
- Less RAM
- Display is only HD
- Gets warm when using it
- Lacks a microSD slot

Samsung Galaxy S21 5G Phantom Violet SM-G991BZVGXNZ review
Rather than offer essentially the same top-tier phone at different sizes, Samsung has chosen to get aggressive on price this year. The Galaxy S21 starts at $799.99 for the smaller version with a 6.2-inch screen and $999.99 for the Plus version with a 6.7-inch display.
Pros:
- Fast processor
- Nice screen
- Good battery life
Cons:
- Samsung bloatware
- Competition will undercut price
- No microSD storage expansion

Samsung Galaxy S21 5G Phantom Violet SM-G991BZVGXNZ review
Samsung Galaxy S21 5G is the mobile you should buy if you want the most value your money.
Pros:
- Good camera with creative possibilities. Razor-sharp and bright screen with adaptive 120 Hz refresh rate combined with nice design and extremely high performance. Best for the price in the Galaxy S21 series.
Cons:
- No charger is supplied, and although the screen is not the largest, we could still have wished for a higher screen resolution.
