Description

The Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus 256GB Black 5G is the medium-sized model of the S21 series. The large 6.7-inch Full HD screen is nice if you regularly watch movies, but keep in mind that the device doesn't fit in every pocket. In addition, it's difficult to operate the S21 Plus with one hand. The screen refreshes 120 times per second, so animations of games look smooth. The 256GB storage offers enough space to store your entire music and movie collection. The beautiful camera island has cameras that allow you to take clear photos and 8K videos both during the day and in the evening. With the telephoto lens, you can zoom in up to 3 times without your photo becoming less sharp. Thanks to the powerful Exynos 2100 processor and 8GB RAM, you can use the most demanding apps and games without any issues. The large 4800mAh battery can easily last a day with average use.

Note: Samsung doesn't include a charger. Purchase a separate Samsung 25-watt charger to charge your smartphone at lightning speed.

Our expert review

Powerful device with very good cameras

  • Enough power for the toughest apps
  • Takes razor-sharp photos and videos
  • Fast charging with optional charger
  • Quite large

The Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus is a powerful smartphone with very good cameras. Due to the large size, it is difficult to operate the device with one hand.

Sleek design, large device
The first thing that strikes me is the innovative design. With this smartphone, the camera island goes into the side of the device. Not only does this look flashy, but it also makes the block of cameras look smaller. The device is quite large, so it is difficult for me to operate the entire screen with one hand. The screen of the S21 Plus is flat. Partly because of this, it fits comfortably in the hand.

Beautiful photos and videos
As an amateur photographer, with this smartphone in my pocket, I can leave my camera at home. The Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus takes very nice photos. I have a suitable camera for every situation. In addition to a standard lens, this device also has a wide-angle lens and a telephoto lens. With the latter lens, I zoom in up to 3 times without my photos or videos becoming less sharp. Even in bright backlight, the photos still look nice. In the dark I can still see many details and colors. I make razor sharp 8K videos, but I do notice that these videos are a bit choppy. When I make videos in the also high 4K quality, the images look smooth.

Fast, powerful smartphone
I have nothing to complain about computing power. The S21 Plus never falters. I switch quickly and smoothly between different apps. This makes the device suitable for the multitasker. This device runs heavy apps and games without any problems. The S21 Plus continues to run fast while I edit photos in Photoshop and play heavy 3D games like PUBG.

No charger included
Samsung does not include a charger in the box. To quickly charge the S21 Plus, I had to purchase a Power Delivery charger with USB-C connection myself. The Samsung 25W Power Delivery charger charges the S21 Plus quickly. After about an hour, the device is charged from 0 to 100%. After this, the smartphone easily lasts a day with my average use. What do I mean by average use? I regularly whatsapp with friends, browse my social media and occasionally watch a summary of a football match.

Screen
The full HD screen of the S21 Plus is less sharp than the quad HD screen of its predecessor. If, like me, you switch from a phone with a quad hd screen, you will notice this difference. Despite this, I still see a lot of details of my films and series. Thanks to the high refresh rate, animations during games are very smooth. Scrolling through my timeline also looks smooth.
