The Samsung Galaxy S21 phones have finally been launched in the UAE, and they set the standard for 2021: a trio of powerful phones, with great displays, 5G connectivity, and in the most powerful model, S Pen support.
The three-phone Samsung Galaxy S21 range follows last year’s lineup: a standard S21 phone, a larger S21 Plus, and the top-spec'd (and pricier) S21 Ultra. The phones were accompanied by two other new products at launch: the AirPods Pro-rivaling Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro and the Tile-like Samsung Galaxy SmartTag trackers.
Perhaps the biggest news is that each of the phones is cheaper than last year’s Samsung Galaxy S20 models, though their specs have been pared back a bit in exchange.
