Samsung’s new flagships vastly improve on last year’s offerings, though many brand loyalists may not be happy at the thought of plastic-backed phones costing well over Php 40K being the norm now.

If you're a fan of Samsung devices and upgrading from an older phone, you'll likely enjoy a lot of what the S21 offers- Great display
- Unique
- fresh design
- Decent battery life and performance
- Unreliable camera software
- One UI needs polish (and less ads)
- A bit pricey for what's on offer
Samsung Galaxy S21 Phantom Grey (128GB) SM-G991BZADXNZ review
Samsung Galaxy S21 5G is the mobile you should buy if you want the most value your money.- Good camera with creative possibilities. Razor-sharp and bright screen with adaptive 120 Hz refresh rate combined with nice design and extremely high performance. Best for the price in the Galaxy S21 series.
- No charger is supplied, and although the screen is not the largest, we could still have wished for a higher screen resolution.
Samsung Galaxy S21 Phantom Grey (128GB) SM-G991BZADXNZ 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.- Lower launch price than S20
- UI packed with features
- Improved night photography
- No optical zoom
- No AF on ultrawide
- Low on innovation

Samsung Galaxy S21 Phantom Grey (128GB) SM-G991BZADXNZ 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.
