The Samsung Galaxy S21 series promises to make the everyday epic. But Samsung s three new phones the $799 S21, the $999 S21+, and the $1,199 S21 Ultra are more everyday than epic, primarily fixing and refining the S20 line s concepts rather than doing anything radical.
The three new phones are $200 to $400 less expensive than last year s flagships, reflecting pandemic-straitened budgets. They double down on last year s promise of 100x zoom, but insist that this year they re getting it right. They bring the S Pen to Samsung s non-Note phones. And they are the first Samsung phones certified for the upcoming C-band 5G networks, which future-proof them for the next few years.
