Samsung Galaxy S21 vs S21+ Review (vs S21 Ultra vs S20 series) | Better Value than the S21 Ultra?

Yup! Don't get phones early to review, sadly. I have to wait and buy them like everyone else, test thoroughly and then get the review written as quickly as can. Thanks for waiting though!

Im sold going to pick up a S21+ because of that flat screen. 👌

[@insidetechltd]

Nice choice 👌🏼

[@ashia9945]

Great video! Going to get the S21 simply for its size, it's still larger than my current iPhone X. Hopefully in the future, Samsung will have an ultra model in a smaller size the way Apple has a smaller Pro model and then the Pro Max. Either way, I'm still looking forward to being back on Android after a couple years of trying out an iPhone

[@insidetechltd]

If Samsung did a smaller Ultra, i'd get that one for sure! The S21 is still great though, i hope you enjoy it!

Best review and best comparison i ve seen. I have S21. Highly recommended for its compact size. Very easy to hold and use with single hand. Getting 6-6.30 screen time and its fairly enough for me. Hope there will be a smaller ultra version in future

[@insidetechltd]

That's great to hear, thank you! I agree, and I think the smaller phones are great!

[@tiktok_daily]

How's your battery life ...sot

[@litvakfamily]

Great comparison, thanks. I want to point out another difference between the regular S21 and the S21+ that no reviews mention. The S21 has much worse haptics than the other two. The S21+ and the Ultra both use better motors, but also have a dedicated controller chip that provides strong and crisp haptic feedback. On the other hand, the base S21 has a different motor but more importantly, it does not have a dedicated controller chip. Haptic feedback when typing or using gestures is mushy and buzzy by comparison. This is another noticeable downgrade over the prior S20, which has the same motor as the S21, but also has the same dedicated controller as the S21+ and Ultra.

[@insidetechltd]

Thank you! Yeah I saw someone else say this too. I must admit that I didn’t really notice during my time with the phones - but good to point out for others so thank you 👌🏼

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

S21+ and S21 don't have WQHD+ SCREEN RESOLUTION DISPLAY so suck compared to S20+ but then I have SD Card Slot and NFC too

[@anthonylawson518]

Why does one like the haptic feedback? When I touch my phone, I don't want to hear any sounds or feel anything. I also don't use the vibration settings for anything. I have always been that way...is there any benefits, or is it just a preference?

[@willbuschmann]

I’m 100 percent all for not receiving a charger in the box, because I’ve had a hundred Samsung phones before so I have heaps of chargers laying around and it’s better for the environment. However, I think that if you’re new to android or Samsung phones I feel that you should be given the option to at least buy a charger at half price or some sort of discount. Making someone pay upwards of a $1k for a phone and then saying you need to spend another $50 for a charger is a big fuck you. I don’t like that. It’s cheeky, it’s greedy.

[@insidetechltd]

Really glad you share that view, the more people that do, the better for the environment! 👊🏼 I think Samsung have discounted the chargers a little bit to try and make up for it. But it's always hard when price comes into it, because companies could argue they made the phones cheaper (e.g. ~$50) and therefore the price of the charger is already accounted for. There's no way for us to really say whether they have or not because they can set the price at whatever they like! I guess we should just remember you can buy any third party charger you like if you still need one, of which there are many high quality and cheaper options!

[@insidetechltd]

[@albylongballboarder]

After seeing many KZbin reviews, this is one of the BEST to compare the 3 S21 cameras and also the prior versions. Well Done 👍 I was in a predicament where our S7 cpus fried itself and then having to decide between the S20s and the S21s and in the end, we ended up with the S21+ - mainly for the larger battery and larger screen without going $$$ for the Ultra. We had to get 2 phones so the $$$ adds up so that was a major consideration. Our S7s match up with the smaller S21 so it was also time for something slightly bigger than what we had as long as it still fits in our pockets - S21+ The S21+ is definitely a step up from the S7s. Now, I just need to figure out the camera resolution especially with the panoramic (use FULL or 16:9) that I often do. My old S7 has different resolutions with the 16:9 mode so I need adjust for this in the new S21+. Lastly, the lack of micro SD has had me to rethink my storage but I am getting a USB-C SD card reader as I had a nice 126 Gb SD in my S7. So far, the S21+ is a delight to use. Thanks again for this great review!

[@insidetechltd]

Thank you so much! Comments like this make it all worth it! 🙌🏼 I think you made a nice choice, I love the S21+ 👌🏼

[@marcwoodward8056]

Great review. T-mobile had a recent promo offering $800 trade in credit on the S21. I traded my sons old Pixel 3a & received the full $800 credit which I applied to the S21 which was $799 so I got it for free! I looked at the Ultra but the extra features that I would never use wasn't worth the extra $400. I really like the Plus but I moved away from large phones a few years ago with my LG G8 that was the perfect size for me & my use. The S21 is physically the same size as my G8 with a little bit bigger screen. I love the weight & size of the S21. I hate glass back phones anyway so the plastic was perfect for me since the phone feels lighter. I put a Spiegen case on it within a couple days so the fact that it's plastic is undetectable anyway. The phone so far had been awesome! How Samsung got such big sound with Dolby Atmos out of such a little device is AMAZING! Both of the S21s are great so you can't go wrong with either...pick the right size for you and you'll be extremely happy 😁

[@insidetechltd]

Thanks a lot! Amazing trade-in deal too! I think the S21 just feels so nice to use, it's my favourite of the three!

[@pinkfreud62]

I just got the s21 and after coming off s7 edge for 5.5 yrs, it's good enough for me. I'm not much of a phone user anyways. I watch videos on my laptop in the living room and on my tablet in bed. I take my tablet with me on the go, too. I don't think most people will notice much between cameras. And you can tweak what you need in editing. Then again, I grew up with the Kodac Instamatic, lol. I like the size of the s21 because the size is similar to the s7.

[@insidetechltd]

The S21 is my favourite - perfect size!

[@AhmadThabet-qw1kc]

Believe that S-21 is the best overall being, reliable, lighter, smaller and almost have the same features; except battery size & some minor Camera Upgrades. Many Thanks for the comprehensive review and comparison.

[@xtazzy5527]

I actually bought the galaxy s21 months before i saw this video. and i still think its the better value samsung flagship this year. the s21 ultra has features that i would like to have, but i would probably never use. so it wasnt really worth spending $500 more for features i may or may not use. s21 to me is the better value hands down.

I really don't have a problem with them getting rid of the chargers and headphones. Almost everybody has too many chargers, and if not... They're easy to get. On the headphones side, nobody's gonna use ones that come with a phone. I understand that a charger is actually required to use a phone though. Also they have no excuse for throwing apple under the bus for this and then doing it themselves.

Beautiful video my friend!!! All the way from Nepal... Very pleasing voice and great video...i was sad why S21+ is not great as ultra...but now after i saw this video i think i will be more happy to buy S21+ rather than ultra...it's too much big, heavy, costly, curve edge, doesn't even look like a phone and S21+ camera's are extremely close to ultra's cameras, that's great! For a month or so ultra might give us a premium feeling but due to its so big and heavy we might sometimes feel irritated and if we put cover on it then it's a monster....i shall happily buy S21+, what do you say?? and thanks bro ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@insidetechltd]

I think that’s a good idea. The S21+ is more than good enough for most people! And thank you 😄👊🏼

[@jlun9684]

I have the s21. I upgraded from the Note 10+. It was like this phone was created for me. I don't care about the lack of a SD card or glass back. I also didn't care for the lack of a charger since I have one from my Note 10+

[@insidetechltd]

Fair enough! That's a great attitude about your older charger too - it works fine, so good for you!

[@lucaspanasski331]

Which one has better camera?

[@tanzanable]

A BIG thanks to Samsung for scrapping the glass back on the S21 for a far superior plastic back! Plastic is lighter, much more flexible, more damage proof and much less expensive to repair or replace than glass. Plastic also feels more premium to the touch. It resists fingerprints better too. For the few who have been brainwashed into thinking that glass is somehow better than plastic - just put a case on your phone!

[@insidetechltd]

I actually quite liked the plastic too. I'd be happy to have that in all phones if they passed the cost saving on to consumers

[@tanzanable]

@@insidetechltd Even if they didn't, I'd still want the plastic back because replacing a broken glass back is cost prohibitive. You're better off buying a new phone!

[@demsrules]

Frankly, I approve of Samsung not including the chargers with their phones since I have been a Samsung user from the S7. However, it may be a problem for those who are just coming into the Samsung family.

[@insidetechltd]

Me too. They use the universal USB-C port, and USB-A/C cables and adapters are all widely available for a low cost

[@matthewiles5714]

I've got the S21 Plus 5G 256gb phone. I would have gone for the Ultra but the monthly costs were far too expensive. Even with my phone, the monthly costs are £43.79 per month and that, to me, is expensive. So, even though I would love to have gotten the Ultra, I couldn't

[@gianniortega5986]

As much of a Samsung fan I am, and don't get me wrong I absolutely love my S21 plus, but my issue is if I'm paying a $1,000 for a phone you should at least provide a charger and headphones. Phone companies just want to make a profit wherever they can these days.

[@insidetechltd]

I do understand this completely, and no doubt that every smartphone company is saving money from this choice. But I personally think it’s great we’re all cutting down on e waste - that’s something I’d be happy to pay a bit extra for if needed!

[@frankward8003]

@@insidetechltd there is no saving on the waste by not including a charger with the phone..by the time you buy a charger you have twice the packaging waste compared to the charger being included within the phones packaging box..Samsung is not including a charger because they are cheap..it's certainly not to save on packaging waste.

[@insidetechltd]

True…if every single person went and bought an extra charger after buying the phone. But people don’t. They’re using their existing chargers. Not all, but enough are. So it does still help the environment. I agree that Samsung’s main reason for doing this is to save themselves money though!

[@frankward8003]

@@insidetechltd I bet most buy a new charger when they get a new phone...I have a dozen chargers in my drawer, but still I bought new charger and another longer cord and headset....all of which was in its own separate box..so I had 4 boxes with the packings to throw away with my new phone purchase. I bought a new charger with my new phone because the new ones charge faster and older chargers seem to degrade and lose charging speed over time...had to buy headsets because Samsung doesnt include them anymore like they did with my S7. If Samsung was truely trying to cut down on waste for the environment they would include everything needed in one package like they did before.

[@jaredbauer3058]

"Durability difference"? I would say that the polycarbonate back on the S21 will over time be MORE durable than a glass back (i.e. no cracking) WAY too much focus on the plastic back - I might even call it an upgrade.

[@insidetechltd]

Yeah it's pretty tough to say really - real world instances will vary so much. It does feel like a really premium plastic tbh!

[@bigsled12]

Stupid question but I have the S7 and came across a good deal from one of the carriers yesterday plus my wife got a cheaper galaxy that year in 2016 and has wanted to get a nicer phone for years lol. I am only concerned /asking about the resolution and colors which I love on mine. I only am on the internet on mine. No movies/games After researching the last two days it seems like their would be minimal/ if any difference in the picture quality of the S21 ( not ultra) and my S7 BECAUSE of the screen size. Plus ( here comes the dumb part) I read that the S7's came set at FHD not QHD so I looked at that setting for the 1st time in 4 years and it was true. I set it to QHD and bounced around different websites, read text but couldn't see the difference( people on reviews are claiming even text is not as high quality) . So going up 1.2 inches ( to 6.2) would that make a difference in picture quality ? My S7 has 576 ppi . The S21 has 421ppi. Does the ppi matter anyway as I never had mine on QHD anyway ? Has anybody ever" really " tested the colors of previous years. Why would Samsung have less ppi in the S21 plus than in the cheaper S21. Sorry and thanks . I am confined to home after a major knee surgery and cannot look at phone in person.

[@insidetechltd]

Not a stupid question! It's essentially just a case of the resolution not being the only factor (so ppi isn't everything). The quality of the display can vary, the colour reproduction can, the chipset changes things, brightness... It's like having a camera and only looking at the megapixel count - many other factors play into the final image quality! So in short: the display of the S21 is much better in overall quality. However, the S7 has a technically higher resolution screen because it's 1440p rather than 1080p (S21) and that's why the ppi is higher. Like you said though, not everyone will notice this! But you may notice other improvements (like the brightness and high refresh rate) by getting the S21!

Yes it does, but only a thin film protector. Nothing substantial or glass or anything like that

[@Vaiscrew]

It’s not good for the environment when you move the charger, when you buy one the box is bigger than the s21 so you’re not saving the environment. Samsung just want to save money.

[@catstoriesandmore]

Great content, thank you! I honestly cannot see any difference between the Note 10+ 's 1440p display and the S21+'s 1080p display in terms of sharpness. I own them both. I believe the Note's display is also 1080p and the 1440p is a software enhancement. On the Note (and the S21 Ultra), you cannot really shut down pixels to go to a 720p display or lit up some more pixels to get a 1440p starting from the base 1080p the phone is set out of the box. Otherwise, the S21+ has a better display. Brighter, better color calibrated and with no reddish tint on the whites.

I think the charger should come in the box because you paid for the phone you're offering fast wireless charging but you don't send the charger in the box to prove it that don't make sense

[@insidetechltd]

Yeah that's a fair argument. I definitely think the cheap 5 W chargers should never come in the box (i.e. Apple a couple of years ago). But with fast charging, it's a bit different. You're advertising a feature that your phone can't actually do unless you buy something else. I would personally have it this way than not, overall, but I get why people aren't happy or disagree

Loving the s21 plus violet. The bigger screen, battery compared to the s21 and the weight of it compared to the ultra made me decide to get it. I know most of the tech reviewers think that the plus is a nonsense but it's actually not. It's the best fit for me. By the way, great detailed review and Thumbs-up 👍🏻

[@insidetechltd]

Ah not at all! It's all the best parts of the Ultra but without the price! There can be an argument made for any of them really, but you said it perfectly: it's the best for you! Thanks a lot though, enjoy your awesome new phone!

[@Uncle_Drew0227]

@@insidetechltd thanks for noticing my comment. Yes, the price itself is the basis that it's a good buy. However, I kinda wish they added like a 5x zoom on the plus so moon shots could be closer than 30x.

[@insidetechltd]

Always try to notice when people are so kind! Yeah that would be really cool. I guess there was no 'cheap' way of doing it - great zoom is kind of the Ultra's thing. Better value for money in the Plus though!

[@Uncle_Drew0227]

@@insidetechltd yep, maybe if they did add a 5x zoom it would cost them around a $100 more. But even without the 5x zoom, the cameras on the plus are still great. They actually makes more sense since not all people are photographer like when taking pic, they often do the quick snap shots in auto mode. Also, I've subscribed and liked most of your vids. Watching them 1 by 1 and I am liking every bit of it. Continue doing vids and hoping for more success on your channel. 👌🏻 Stay safe always

Thank you for the review, i have now s21 plus and i was thinking to return and replace with s21 ultra but the amount of money to pay extra was 400 euro bc i have deal and i bought s21 plus with 600 euro but it s not worth the effort to have some gimmic. Thanks

Exactly, the S21+ is awesome as it is 👌🏼

[@Loverofallthingsliving]

Would you recommend the s21+ in 2023? I’m deciding between the s21+ or the s22+ cause the s22+ is £100-£150 more refurbished 🤔

[@insidetechltd]

I still would, yes. It's still a fast and great phone. But think about how many years you'd want to keep it for, because obviously the S22 series will be supported for an extra year

[@Gatorman6924]

Any phone that cost more then 500 bucks you should get everything with it head set and charger.. Sad pay more get less.

[@insidetechltd]

I think the bigger shame is that if they took the chargers out of the box but then made them free, everyone would still take them. People (generally) care more about 'free stuff' than the environment. Companies have no choice but to remove these accessories and make you pay for them if you want them

[@DANIELCHUKWUKERE]

10:54 What are you saying about faster lowlight focus on the S21 ultra?. 😂😂 Dual Pixel autofocus is 10 times faster than laser autofocus my friend..

There is more related to the focussing speed in low light than just the autofocus technology 🤷‍♂️

​@@insidetechltd Are you having the Snapdragon version or Exynos version of these S21 series??. If Exynos, then this video does not apply to me cuz my region gets the Snapdragon version of Galaxy S21 series.

[@shadowdarkgamer_yt9751]

S21 ultra is literally a mini ipad

[@insidetechltd]

In size only though, surely?

[@olipoo3]

Generally keeping the chargers out actually increases wastage as many have to separately order them in separate packages increasing the volume of packaging.

[@insidetechltd]

That's not true. 1. Only the people who actually need a charger will buy a separate one. This is the main point of removing the charger: now only the people who need one will get one, as opposed to every single person no matter what. 2. The volume of packaging is decreased for the phones that don't have the charger inside: the boxes are smaller. There's not only less packaging, but you can fit more phones per shipment / per storage unit - so there is a reduction in the carbon footprint there. 3. Don't forget that it's not just the packaging around the charger (which is highly recyclable). It's mainly the charger itself that is the issue. The e-waste issue is largely as a result of the actual chargers being wasted - and these electrical components are not as easy/cheap to break down and recycle like some cardboard packaging would be. The net result of this change is that there are fewer chargers in the world. And the net result of 'that', is a better impact on the environment. Whatever reasons companies are doing this for, and whatever the potential negatives, the net result is still good for the environment.

[@glennpuldo4959]

Still using galaxy s8 while watching this video. Help me choose s21/s21+ please. 😐

[@insidetechltd]

I think the S21 feels the nicest in the hand/easiest to type on and reach the corners etc. But if you’re concerned about battery life or want a bigger screen for movies then go for the +. Try and go to a store to hold both in your hands first to help your decision! P.s. if you’re coming from an S8 (and therefore keep your phone for a while) maybe the + is better since the battery will last longer over many years

I mean if it's saving cost than Idc so much u could just buy the 25w brick on 4 under 20 n if u pre ordered it like me ur getting free buds which is 10× the value of akg headphones n the removable of the SD slot I'm in the middle I could live without it but would be a nice addition but not really upset n that not the reason 2 ditch samsung since u could just pay extra 50 n get the 256GB s20 ultra started at 1400 base s21 ultra 1200 base but I would go 4 256GB pay extra 50 so 1250 if I'm saving 150 with SD card slot not being their n charger not being sold I mean if u were 2 add 15 more ur paying 1265 in total n the use dongle n type c headphone costs around 20 which is 1285 plus they spen + case is costing around 70 meaning If u want everything that comes in the box ur paying 1285 n caring about they w u all the time ur looking at roughly 1355 so it's still cheaper even when buying all those sepertly so I'm okay w those sacrifices
