Key Highlights

The Samsung Galaxy S21+ steals the spotlight early, earning its crown as the unofficial “Miss Android 2021.” Even in January, before competitors unveiled their flagships, the S21+ stood out with its striking aesthetics and attention-grabbing design. Samsung’s flair for style shines through the moment you unbox it — a handset that feels elegant, confident, and crafted to impress. But beyond its beauty, lies the real question: does the S21+ deliver where it truly matters? Samsung continues its three-model tradition with the S21 lineup, and while the Ultra often hogs the limelight, the S21+ emerges as a compelling middle-ground option. It brings powerful performance, stronger battery life, and a premium build. However, with a slightly downgraded display and minor camera improvements, S20+ users may not find a strong reason to upgrade. Sitting between the standard S21 and the feature-packed S21 Ultra, the Galaxy S21+ plays the role of the “middle child,” yet it earns its place confidently. The larger 6.7-inch display and improved battery capacity make it far more appealing than the base S21, while still remaining more affordable than the Ultra. Compared to last year’s S20+, the S21+ doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it does refine the experience. You get a sturdier metal-backed design, Samsung’s cutting-edge processor, and a battery boost to 4,800 mAh — ideal for movie lovers, gamers, and power users alike. The rest of the internals remain similar to the regular S21, making the choice straightforward: if you want a bigger screen, better endurance, and a more premium feel, the S21+ is worth the extra spend. If not, the standard S21 remains a solid, budget-friendlier pick. This blend of style, performance, and refinement makes the Galaxy S21+ one of 2021’s most balanced and desirable Android smartphones.
