Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus Review | Trusted Reviews

The Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus is a great Android phone with one of the best screens available right now. But it's not for everyone.

Variable refresh rate screen is one of the best on the market ;Reliable camera for casual users; Solid gaming performance;Decent build quality

Not a huge upgrade on the Galaxy S20;Exynos version offers average battery life

Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus review

The Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus is essentially a larger version of the S21, so is its larger screen and bigger battery right for you?

Gorgeous new design Great performance Powerful camera

No microSD support Expensive No charger in the box

The Galaxy S21 Plus is a superb phone on its own merits, but it offers little that you don't get with the regular, and cheaper, Galaxy S21, apart from its larger screen. But if screen size is a deal-breaker for you, and you're happy to pay a bit more...

Hands on: Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus review

With the Samsung S21 series, the gap between the Plus and Ultra model widens.

Exynos 2100 looks to be a good chipset Larger fingerprint sensor

Screen resolution lower than last year’s model Camera setup identical to last year’s S20 Plus

The Plus model in the Galaxy S range was Samsung’s flagship phone just a couple of years ago, but with the introduction of the S20 Ultra last year it took something of a backseat. The gap between the models widens with the S21 series, and it feels like...

Samsung Galaxy S21+ review: The middle child

There have been cuts and changes made to the 'Plus' model in the S series, but it still has a lot to offer. But just how competitive is it?

Great display ; Plenty of power ; Good battery life ; Great quality finish ; Refined software experience ; Good speakers

Camera is not Samsung's top offering ; Closely rivalled by other Samsung devices ; No microSD expansion any more

This Galaxy sits in a middle position in the S21 range, looking fairly costly for a device that's not Samsung's top offering. There's plenty on offer here, however, and it will make a great phone for many - but, that said, it has plenty of close rivals...

Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus Review

Does the Plus-size version of Samsung's 2021 flagship actually prove that bigger is always better, or is it a big disappointment?

— Superb screen, reliable camera, solid performance

— Not a big upgrade on the S20 series

The Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus is a big-screen smartphone that delivers strong overall performance, particularly in terms of its screen, camera, and processing power. However, if you’ve bought a flagship smartphone in the last couple of years then it’s...

Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus

The Galaxy S21 Plus is all the flagship you'll need in 2021, but existing S20 Plus owners won't be upgrading anytime soon.

Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G

(Rating Hidden)

The Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G is the middle phone in Samsung's 2021 S series line-up, and it could be a good choice if you're after a larger screen but don't want to push your budget over £1,000 with the S21 Ultra. Bigger displays can sometimes mean...

Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G review: Not as good as one, but better than the other

If the Galaxy S21 Ultra is the best Android phone you can buy and the Galaxy S21 is a slight disappointment, where does that leave the Galaxy S21+? We find out.

Classy metal-and-glass body ; Stunning screen performance ; Capable camera

Lacks a 2021 flagship camera ; S21 Ultra is substantially better in many ways

Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G review

Almost as big as the Ultra, but not quite as camera-centric. Nearly identical to the vanilla, but with a plus-size screen, extra battery and a more...

Nice color options, standout design, IP68 rating.

Scant retail package - no charger or headphones.

So you've probably figured out where this is leading us. The Galaxy S21+ is a great all-round package and has the smartphone pillars well propped up. Ultimately, however, it lacks a standout selling point. In our opinion, if you want a Galaxy, there...
