On today Samsung Unpacked Samsung has conjured up three new Galaxy smartphones out of its hat. This article is about the cheaper two Galaxy S21 models - the S21 and S21 +.
What die-hard fans have already noticed: There was no foldable smartphone at this event. That Galaxy z flip was announced last year with the S20 series, a successor will not come until March or April.
Like all S21 models, the S21 / + will appear out of the box with Android One UI 3.1 based on Android 11 and the Exynos 2100 in America, Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 888 is used.
Regarding the display: This is the same for both cheaper S21 versions, only the size is different. The S21 has a 6,2-inch display and the plus version 6,7 inches. Both have a maximum resolution of Full HD + with 120Hz OLED and the display glass is the latest from Corning Gorilla Glass 7 Notes 20 Ultra. The Galaxy S21, however, will have a plastic back, the Plus model from the aforementioned Gorilla Glass 7.
