Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus review: A versatile package, despite imperfections

 

The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra (review) is an impeccable smartphone but it is expensive. This brings us to the next best in the series, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus. Priced Rs 81,999 onwards, the Galaxy S21 Plus is a toned-down model if you compare it with the Ultra. But it does not compromise on the key parameters that define the Galaxy S21 series. It boasts 5G network support, an AMOLED screen of 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, triple rear cameras capable of recording videos in up to 8K resolution, Dolby Atmos-powered stereo speakers, IP68-rated for water and dust resistance, and a big-capacity battery with fast-charge support. The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra gets you the best. But can the same be said for the Galaxy S21 Plus overall? Let’s find out.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus: Design

The Galaxy S21 Plus is designed on the same blueprint as ther Galaxy S21 series smartphones. It has minimal design with comfortable ergonomics for ease of use. It has a premium glass-metal construction with Gorilla Glass Victus protection on the front and back. Starting with the rear profile, the phone comes in three colour options – phantom violet, phantom silver and phantom black. The phantom silver variant (review unit) has a reflective frosted glass cover on the back that bends inwards from the sides to meet the frame. Speaking of the frame, it is made of metal and extends around the rear-camera module. With frame engulfed, the otherwise protruding rear camera module looks part of the overall package and not a disarrayed unit slapped on the phone.
