Samsung Galaxy S21 and S21 Ultra First Look

Lisa Gade does a first look at the new Samsung Galaxy S21 and the S21 Ultra, 2 of 3 flagship Galaxy Android smartphones releasing in January 2021. The prices are $200 less than last year’s S20 family of phones, and there are again 3 sizes to choose from: the 6.2” S21, 6.7” S21+ and the 6.8” S21 Ultra. The phones sport a new design with a matte back, and run Android 11 with One UI 3.0 on the Snapdragon 888 in the US (Exynos 2100 is several other countries). The S21 Ultra supports the S Pen and has significantly improved cameras compared to the S20 Ultra. Our full review will come later, as will our review of the new Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro wireless ANC earbuds.
