Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus 5G will be the perfect smartphone for many with its great mix of solid spec, a great design and the fact it’s cheaper than the Galaxy S21 Ultra as well as its predecessors.
If you own the Samsung Galaxy S20 wouldn’t recommend buying this, but for others, this will be the perfect smartphone.
If you’re looking for a larger screen and a better battery, opt for the very similar but slightly more expensive Plus model.
