More about the Samsung Galaxy S21 family
The trio succeed last year's Galaxy S20 family, and make a few rather surprising changes. The Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21+ have moved away from Quad HD+ curved screens to 1080p+ flat displays, and the S21 has a plastic back.
Notably, every Galaxy S21 model has 5G out of the box, whereas last year you had to pay extra if you wanted a phone with 5G connectivity. Here's how each of the phone models compares across the key specs.
