The Samsung Galaxy S21 deals have now been revealed, and Samsung is exploring all the new specs and features at its big unboxed event. That's not all though, you can also immediately pre-order phones from a host of major carriers and retailers in the US. As usual with phone launches these days, you don't have a choice of just one phone, but three. You can choose between Samsung Galaxy S21, S21 Plus, and S21 Ultra. These align with Samsung's previous 2020 phones, which offer the same lineup but with a few incremental upgrades, making them more suitable for the world of 2021. However, while some specs have been improved and a new design implemented , a drop in price is probably the most interesting factor with these new phones, as all three cost less than their predecessors at launch. Obviously, each option will appeal to a different type of person. The S21 is the 'affordable' one, at €799 unlocked, the S21 Plus is the best of both worlds, combining specs and price, and the S21 Ultra is the one concentrating on specs and designs, even allowing compatibility with Samsung Stylus Stylus (for an additional cost). Below we've listed all the retailers stocking these phones for pre-orders in the US today.
Samsung Galaxy S21 deals: where to book
How do Samsung Galaxy S21 devices look like?
Samsung Galaxy S21:The cheapest of the three phones, the S21 is a 5G phone priced to rival the iPhone 12 and is much cheaper than the S20 when it launched. Despite that lower price, you do get Samsung's new Snapdragon 888 processor. It's a super powerful chip that powers Samsung's already impressive camera software and operating system. The camera is an incremental upgrade from what the S20 provided, beefing up 8K video software, super stable video, and better 'director's view' at 60fps. Thanks to the new processor, the cameras' artificial intelligence software works better than ever. However, Samsung was unable to improve the battery capacity, which could be a problem with all this new software. Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus:
Sitting in the middle of these three phones, the Samsung S21 Plus combines high-end specs at a still-affordable price. In particular, the difference between the classic S21 and the Plus is in the size of the battery and the screen. Battery capacity jumps to 4800 mAh and the screen to 6,7 inches, a huge improvement over what came before. However, in most categories, these two phones are very similar with almost identical cameras and screens.
Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra:
As the most expensive of the three phones, it's no surprise that the S21 Ultra offers a significant upgrade in specs over its previous two smaller siblings. Like the previous two, it has the new Snapdragon 888 processor, but unlike the previous two, it increases the screen size to a 2-inch Dynamic AMOLED 6.8X display. With this, users no longer have to choose between a 120Hz refresh rate or Quad HD+ quality, it can do both, an impressive feat. Screen brightness is also 25% brighter than the previous two phones. The battery starts at a whopping 5000 mAh and the rear camera setup includes a new 108 MP professional sensor with 64 times richer colours. You can also shoot in 4K at 60fps, a feature that rivals Apple's impressive camera technology. More interestingly, the Ultra is the first Samsung phone outside of the Note series to allow S Pen stylus support, though you'll have to shell out even more money to get it!
