In the other galaxy: Gold diggin'

Don’t check the muscle mass for lifting the Ultra? The middle child is always a safe bet

- 

Samsung Galaxy S21+

What’s the story?

Just like clockwork, the Samsung Galaxy S series smartphones get the three models with some similarities and some differences to bring down the cost or shoot up the feature set. The S21 Ultra is on top of that list and packs everything Samsung has to offer, the S21+ is the middle child that you might consider if the Ultra is a bit overkill.

Is it any good?

Overkill yes! The Ultra is made for big hands with big pockets, but it’s not like the S21+ is banging on budget doors. It’s packing plenty of useful features in a small size. Can you call it the ideal S21 smartphone for Android fans? It’s got all the speedy silicon innards like the S21 Ultra minus the telescope faff and the million-something RAM. Oh, and the display is FullHD+ which gives means this has better battery life.
