A Punch Above Its Weight?

We have been witnessing a constant and steady scaling up of brands in the smartphone market for the last few years.

Make no mistake though; they are not leaving the premium segment yet, with carefully placed models in that segment, and even in the mid-priced market. We would call the S21 Ultra, Samsung’s luxury model, packing a surplus of everything in a stylish body.
