Today Samsung presented Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+ and Galaxy S21 Ultra in the Unpacked event and today we are going to talk about the specs, price and release date of the South Korean giant’s new flagships.
Samsung Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+ and Galaxy S21 Ultra specs
The presentation has been very interesting, since at the end they have ended up fulfilling practically each and every one of the leaks that we had seen previously, including the one that referred to the selling price. The Samsung Galaxy S21 5G is presented as the base model and obviously is the most affordable of the three. As we told you at the time, it is coming with a 6.2-inch screen, using an Exynos 2100 processor, and starting at $799.
On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy S21+ is a step above and has a 6.7-inch screen, but shares most of the specifications of the previous model, including the camera configuration. This version starting at $999.
As for the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G, this is a top-of-the-range model and it stands out especially for its impressive camera configuration, which includes a total of five lenses: 12MP wide-angle with f2.2 aperture, 108MP main rear camera with f1.8 aperture, 10MP telephoto with f4.9 aperture, 10MP telephoto with f2.4 aperture and 3D depth sensor. This model is starting at $1199.
Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G is compatible with the S-Pen, although it does not have a space dedicated to that peripheral, like the Galaxy Note series, a problem that Samsung has solved with a special case we can use to protect the smartphone, and to comfortably carry the new stylus with us.
In the image, you can see all the available colors of Samsung Galaxy S21 5G and Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G. Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G will only come in two colors, ghost black, and ghost silver.
