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

A flagship that has learned the right lessons

Samsung Galaxy S21 review: Reliably evolved

The Samsung Galaxy S21 is a great phone. It’s the right size for all hands (even large mitts), packs plenty of powerful performance, and adaptive refresh rate offers a great mix of smoothness and battery preservation.

Samsung Galaxy S21 review

The Galaxy S21 isn’t the star of Samsung’s S series in 2021, like we’ve been used to for most of the past decade, but it’s a solid smartphone choice with an impressive camera, powerful internals and great battery life. If you want the best of the best, look to the Galaxy S21 Ultra; but if you want a handset that’s cheaper than the Galaxy S20 was at launch, with a whole load of premium features, the Galaxy S21 is a delight to use, and will do you proud.

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

Samsung Galaxy S21 is the right choice for all the right reasons. What that means is the compromises Samsung has made with the Galaxy S21 seem big but they aren’t that big of a deal when it comes to the practical aspect of the smartphone.

Excellent phone

Solid made, well designed

Samsung Galaxy S21 review: The best 'small' flagship of 2021?

We have already reviewed a couple of Galaxy S21 smartphones here on NextPit, but the vanilla Galaxy S21 recently arrived in our editorial office several weeks after its release. We no longer want to withhold our review from you. Is your current smartphone too big for your hands?

I would have liked to have more instructions on how this phone worke

I found the phone near impossible to use. I looked up the manual on the net and it would not relate to my phone. After two weeks of trying to get icons- apps I went to the Samsung store and the man there set the phone on a different program and now it works really well. Why was the phone sold not on the correct settings so aposcetc could by found.

very happy with product

great camera

Samsung Galaxy 21 review

Phones have been status symbols for ages, even before iPhones were a thing. Who could forget the slider hotness of the Nokia N95 back in ‘06? Just us? OK. Samsung has come up with a phone that actually looks like a status symbol here. And while the Galaxy S21 has a slightly naff-sounding plastic back, this is arguably the best-looking of the entire S21 family. No ridiculous excess of cameras, and the smaller frame gives the funky camera array even greater prominence on the back. The Galaxy S21 is perhaps more a style icon than a tech one, as it is actually a downgrade from the Galaxy S20 in some respects. However, we love its rear camera array. There’s zero bloat, Samsung squeezes every last bit of photographic utility from each sensor and these cameras just try so hard to please your eyeballs with every frame they capture. Battery life may be a sticking point for some of you. It’s no big surprise from a slightly smaller phone, but if you want an Android that might last up to two days between charges, the Samsung Galaxy S21 isn’t it.
