Samsung Galaxy S21 5G 256GB Grey (Renewed)

Product Information

Or if you want a newer model there's now the Samsung Galaxy S22 line - but those phones will cost you more. As some of you may already know, Samsung uses two different chips in their Galaxy S phones depending on the market and the UK is getting the other new and improved chip Exynos 2100 instead of the coveted Snapdragon 888. They are both designed by Samsung, so there isn't a compromise here. The Exynos chip is significantly improved and offers pretty much the same specs as the Snapdragon 888, so the performance should be highly satisfying for the S21 users. But only time will tell if there is any noticeable difference between them or not. Massively Improved Cameras and Decent Battery

Along with that 8GB of RAM you’ve got the choice of either 128GB or 256GB of storage. The big news here is that Samsung has dropped microSD support from the S21, so you can’t expand on the built-in storage. We’ve yet to test the Samsung Galaxy S21 with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset inside, but the Galaxy S21 Ultra performed well with this chipset inside so we’d expect similar results from the S21. The downgrade to the display is perhaps the most controversial change Samsung has made for the Galaxy S21, with the company switching to a lower-res Full HD+ screen than the Quad HD display available on 2020’s Galaxy S20.Samsung started 2021 in style with the surprise early release of its then-flagship smartphone - the Galaxy S21 5G phone. Usually released around February or March, the Samsung Galaxy S21 was released a little earlier on 29 January 2021. How many phones are in the S21 range?

All in all, the Samsung Galaxy S21 feels like a premium device, although it’s unlikely to feel as top-end as the Samsung Galaxy S20 if you own that handset, or the Galaxy S21 Ultra. Fast Wireless Charging 2.0 at 10W or higher is currently available with Wireless Charger Stand (EP-N5200) and Wireless Charger Duo Pad (EP-P5200). Wireless Chargers sold separately. Other wireless chargers compatible with WPC support wireless charging under 5W. Actual charging speed may vary depending on the actual usage, charging conditions and other factors. Wireless charger requires power connection. Recommend using Samsung charging cable and/or travel adapter for optimal performance. The software available on this phone works well, and you've got access to a whole host of extra Samsung services on top of the normal Android apps you expect from a modern smartphone.You’ve got four color choices at launch: Phantom Gray, Phantom White, Phantom Pink, and Phantom Violet (the shade you see pictured throughout this review) – we think Violet is the standout color here. It’s unlikely to be something you’ll notice unless you’re used to those curved edges, but it’s worth noting if you’re someone who particularly likes that design feature – and as is the case with other dropped features, Samsung has retained the curved-edge screen for the premium S21 Ultra. Recharging the S21 is easy, using the company’s 25W fast-charging tech via the phone’s USB-C port. It’s also compatible with Qi wireless charging, and we found that worked well during our testing.
