For the last several years, Samsung's flagship Galaxy S phones have been split into three variants: a kitchen sink smartphone at the high-end, an entry-level device, and that phone in the middle you probably don't think about.

Flat display A flat OLED is more comfortable to use than a curved one, and this is a very good panel; Thin and light The S21+ is substantially thinner and lighter than the S21 Ultra.

No microSD You'll have to make do with the included storage on Samsung's latest phones; Software Samsung's One UI has improved a lot, but there are still more ads and bloatware than there ought to be on a $1,000 phone; No real telephoto camera Samsung's fancy "hybrid" zoom is digital, not optical.

A s a "middle" model w ithin the Galaxy S21 lineup, the Galaxy S21+ sits between two chairs. While the flagship smartphone shares all the features with the Galaxy S21 , it also has some common characteristics with the Galaxy S21 Ultra top model.

The Galaxy S21 Plus sits in a weird spot between the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21 Ultra, but it features almost everything good about the regular S21 in a bigger package. All told, Samsung nailed it with the Galaxy S21 Plus. It has most of the strengths of the smaller S21 in a bigger package.

Gorgeous 120Hz AMOLED display, Excellent performance, Crazy zoom feature, Beautiful design

Bulky and unwieldy, No microSD slot or included charger, Inconsistent camera

Samsung Galaxy S21 + 5G is an excellent mobile that is hard to love.

Good camera with creative possibilities. Razor-sharp and bright screen with adaptive 120 Hz refresh rate, combined with nice design and extremely high performance.

Supplied without charger and the screen resolution is too low considering the large screen size.

This is the latest offering from Samsung to cross my desk. While it supports 5G it also works perfectly well for those of us who do not have those faster transfer speeds available on our doorsteps.
