This Galaxy sits in a middle position in the S21 range, looking fairly costly for a device that's not Samsung's top offering. There's plenty on offer here, however, and it will make a great phone for many - but, that said, it has plenty of close rivals to consider too.

Great display, Plenty of power, Good battery life, Great quality finish, Refined software experience, Good speakers

Camera is not Samsung's top offering, Closely rivalled by other Samsung devices, No microSD expansion any more

The Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus is probably the sweet-spot when it comes to this year’s Galaxy range, but it’s far from perfect.

Beautiful 120Hz, 6.7-inch display, Stylish and tough design, Market-leading camera system

Minor upgrade over S20 Plus, No charger, no headphone jack, no microSD card slot

Had the phone a few weeks. Initial impressions are that it does what it is supposed to do. Does not have screen indication to show a notification unless the phone is in use and screen on (my old phone did S7). My main gripe is how easily the screen marks....... get a screen protector asap.

The Apple iPhone 14 is no match for the just-released iPhone 14 Pro, but if you ignore that, it’s one of the most effective phones around.

Great cameras, front and back, Fast performance, Good battery life, Innovative safety features

Design too familiar, Some average features

The iPhone 14 isn’t much of an upgrade over the iPhone 13, but it’s still a great device and an upgrade for anyone coming from the iPhone 11 or older.

Great camera, Good battery, Emergency features are cool, Still excellent performance

Display could use some upgrades

Apple has given select media outlets and YouTubers access to the new iPhone 14 ahead of when it begins arriving in customers' hands on Friday, September 16. There are two models of the ‌iPhone‌ 14, the standard 6.1-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 and the larger 6.7-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 Plus.

In the end, the S21+ is a decent smartphone

Very nice design; Snappy and quick; Big battery

Expensive; Lower resolution display compared to its predecessor; Camera isn't at the level of other flagships

“The Galaxy S21+ 5G is a classier, bigger version of the S21, and while it has excellent quality, it doesn't drastically improve on the S20+, or reach the heights of the S21 Ultra.”

Classy metal-and-glass body; Stunning screen performance; Capable camera

Lacks a 2021 flagship camera; S21 Ultra is substantially better in many ways

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

The Galaxy S21 Plus is a superb phone on its own merits, but it offers little that you don't get with the regular, and cheaper, Galaxy S21, apart from its larger screen. But if screen size is a deal-breaker for you, and you're happy to pay a bit more for the extra real estate, then you'll be plenty...

Gorgeous new design; Great performance; Powerful camera

No microSD support; Expensive; No charger in the box
