While it is true that Samsung may have achieved its goal of being a top smartphone manufacturer by getting a headstart, in a business as volatile and aggressive and evolving as mobile phones, it is a marvel that the South Korean company has managed to stay ahead in the race. This is especially impressive when you consider the popularity of iPhones and strong competition from its fellow Android smartphone makers. The true secret of Samsung's success is its continued efforts in releasing stunning products, and we are taking a closer look at one such device now. We’re talking about the Samsung Galaxy S21, the newest phone from Samsung for 2020. The device has all the markings of a premium Samsung phone, from display to performance to camera quality. You get a brilliant display in the form of a 6.4-inch OLED panel offering a resolution of 1440 x 3200 pixels and sporting a punch-hole in the middle for the 12MP front camera. The rear camera setup is quite impressive as it comes with a 64MP telephoto camera, a 16MP primary and a 12MP ultrawide shooter. The Galaxy S21 comes equipped with a Exynos 990 SoC and has a whopping 12GB of RAM paired with 256GB of storage. Unfortunately, all these awesome specs are not matched by the battery that has a modest capacity of 4500mAh. There is 45W fast charging however, which improves the situation. Some of the popular Samsung mobile phones include the Samsung Galaxy A21s, Samsung Galaxy A71, and the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G.
