Last week, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S21 series, its newest flagship phones. The series has three models; the Galaxy S21, S21 Plus, and S21 Ultra.
The baseline S21 is the cheapest of the bunch, with a few compromises – plastic back, and lack of UWB technology. On top of the series is the Galaxy S21 Ultra – the best Samsung phone you can get your hands on.
