Samsung Galaxy S21 5G Phantom Violet SM-G991BZVGXNZ review
A reliable upgrade for Galaxy S10 owners, the Samsung Galaxy S21 is a very good smartphone, and a decent camera phone at $799 / £769, however, it’s too similar to its predecessor and last year’s Galaxy S20 FE to warrant an upgrade from either of those.
Pros:
- Lower launch price than S20
- UI packed with features
- Improved night photography
Cons:
- No optical zoom
- No AF on ultrawide
- Low on innovation

Samsung Galaxy S21 smartphone review: The most affordable high-end Galaxy
Part of Samsung's smartphone philosophy is to offer every user the device that is perfectly right fo... The new S class. The Samsung Galaxy S21 is the smallest and least expensive of the three new Galaxy S21 models and should be the obvious choice for most users. The 6.2-inch device lacks a few features of the more expensive Galaxy S21 models, but that doesn't change its high-end quality: The performance, display, and camera are great, and the price is even lower than that of the Galaxy S20.
Pros:
- bright AMOLED display running at 120 Hz
- fast Exynos SoC
- very good camera
- 5G, dual SIM, and eSIM
- Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC
Cons:
- plastic back
- no power adapter included
- storage not expandable
- throttles under load
- average battery life

Samsung Galaxy S21 5G Phantom Violet SM-G991BZVGXNZ review
The Samsung Galaxy S21 is in a tough spot. It’s the most affordable Galaxy S21 series phone, the entry point into this year’s flagship Android phones, from the house of Samsung. And that means the weight of the world is on its shoulders.

- Great screen, Variable refresh rate, Powerful photography
Cons:
- No charger, MicroSD expansion gone, Headphone jack ain’t coming back

Samsung Galaxy S21 5G Phantom Violet SM-G991BZVGXNZ review
Samsung Galaxy S21 is the right choice for all the right reasons. What that means is the compromises Samsung has made with the Galaxy S21 seem big but they aren’t that big of a deal when it comes to the practical aspect of the smartphone.

Samsung Galaxy S21 review: The best 'small' flagship of 2021?
We have already reviewed a couple of Galaxy S21 smartphones here on NextPit, but the vanilla Galaxy S21 recently arrived in our editorial office several weeks after its release. We no longer want to withhold our review from you. Is your current smartphone too big for your hands?
Pros:
- Comparatively compact form factor, Fast performer even when compared to Plus & Ultra models, Plastic back looks surprisingly good, Extended software support
Cons:
- Poor battery life, No S-Pen support, No UWB chip, No expandable memory
