The Galaxy S21+ appears to be the best of Samsung's flagship trio. It does, however, have some flaws that earn it the near-perfect rating, as we highlighted in our review.
Samsung's Galaxy S21 phones are now the most expensive Android phones available. This phones include the quickest mobile processor, camera enhancements, one of the best displays, and a premium-looking design.
The Galaxy S21+ is a mid-range smartphone that fits between the basic Galaxy S21 and the high-end Galaxy S21 Ultra. It includes all of the flagship features, with the exception of a few that are only accessible on the S21+ Ultra. The Galaxy S21+ appears to be the best of Samsung's flagship trio. It does, however, have certain flaws, earning it the title of "near-perfect."

Let's begin with the layout. If you've seen the Galaxy Note 20 series, you'll notice a lot of similarities on the Galaxy S21+, particularly the elevated rear camera module on the glossy metallic finish. The 'Phantom Violet' Galaxy S21+ we received has gold accents on the cameras and all around the phone. This design appealed to us because it made the phone stand out and appear luxury. It also looks a lot better than the Galaxy S20muted +'s colors.

Samsung makes some of the best AMOLED displays on smartphones, and the Galaxy S21+ is no exception. The 120Hz adaptive display adds to the mix. The colors are vibrant and bright, which is typical of Samsung. The scrolling and animations are quite smooth. The ultrasonic fingerprint sensor on the Galaxy S21+ is quick, but it requires you to place your finger very precisely for it to read.
The display on theGalaxy S21+ is 6.7 inches FHD+ Super AMOLED.
The Exynos 2100 CPU, which is considered to be the equal of the Qualcomm 888 processor, is used in the Galaxy S21 series. It comes with up to 256GB of on-board storage and 8GB of RAM. With the March 2021 security update, the phone has been updated to the current One UI 3.1 version.
On the phone, everyday operations like browsing through social applications, WhatsApp, streaming, and playing a game are a breeze. Installing a software update, streaming for an extended period of time, and gaming all cause it to heat up a little. It's a little bothersome at first, but not enough to make you want to stop using it. The battery life was a little underwhelming. With the Galaxy S21adaptive +'s brightness and always-on display turned on, you'll get about a day's worth of battery life. Excessive usage, such as watching videos nonstop, will reduce the phone's battery life to roughly 6-7 hours.
The phone's camera software stutters occasionally, especially while taking photographs continually with the 64-megapixel sensor. For a few seconds, the camera app would freeze, and we had to forcibly close it to get it to work again. Aside from that, the phone performed admirably in routine heavy duties. On the phone, gaming was so enjoyable that even light games like Among Us looked tempting. We had a lot of fun playing Genshin Impact on the Galaxy S21+ because it had a lot of visuals. The gaming was fluid and quick, and it provided a comprehensive experience.
The Galaxy S21cameras +'s are unquestionably superior. Samsung strives to give its images a natural aspect, although there is a little hint of beautifying visible. It's not horrible, and it's not as insane as the Oppos and Vivos. Samsung accomplishes this without the use of large-number sensors. In the photographs, you'll see beautiful color reproduction, something Samsung customers will be familiar with.

With the Galaxy S21+, we had a lot of fun shooting videos. The flagship iPhones have been the go-to picks for videos so far, but the Galaxy S21+ is a close second. We also tested out the Director's View, which is an intriguing tool, but we didn't find it very useful in our daily operations.
We don't typically highlight this in our evaluations, but it's important to mention because it's a first for the Galaxy S21 series. The charging cable, SIM ejector tool, and user handbook were the only items included in the box. Samsung has their reasons, but it's inconvenient for users because it's a Type-C to Type-C charging cable, which necessitates the use of a Type-C adaptor. In addition, if you want rapid charging, you'll need to purchase an adaptor or settle for slow charging.
Verdict
With a price tag of 819 dollars, the Galaxy S21+ is a pricey phone. That's a lot of money to spend on any phone. However, it performs admirably in practically all aspects and is the closest challenger to the iPhone 12 series.
