New Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus Review Features
So, a few days ago we saw the first-ever look at the Galaxy S21 Ultra with that huge camera design that wraparounds the edges of the phone. The Galaxy S21 also features a similar design albeit the camera module is significantly smaller compared to the Ultra. But Onleaks didn't reveal what the middle of the road Galaxy S21+ is going to look like but that changes today as MySmartPrice has published the official card renders of the S21 Plus.
And surprisingly it looks identical to the Galaxy S21. The same triple camera design with flash outside the module, a flat display upfront with a punch-hole camera, and razer thin bezels. These diagrams seem to leak straight from a designer's computer program but thankfully we have our friendly neighborhood Ice Universe making some good-looking renders to depict how it's going to look in real life. And yes, it does look pretty.
The only difference between the S21 and S21+ aesthetically is that the Plus variant will have thinner bezels and it's bigger in size. 6.7" to be exact compared to 6.2" on the S21. The S21 Ultra has a display of 6.9" Compared to the S20 variants, all the S21 models will be wider and shorter. Only the S21 Plus is seeing a battery upgrade 4800mAh compared to 4500mAh on the S20 Plus, the S21 and Ultra have the same battery capacity as their predecessors.
Also, we have the color variants of the S21 family. Ross Young claims that these colors are 100% accurate and will be surely seen on the Galaxy S21 lineup. Those are Gray, Pink, Violet, and White for the S21, black and silver for the S21 Plus, and Black, Silver, and Violet for the S21 Ultra. Looking forward to that violet color for the S21 Ultra which in all way is going to be better than the boring grey and black on this year's S20 Ultra. He also says that handsets will be manufactured in South Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Brazil.
Nothing new here as it’s already known that these are the countries where Samsung phones are made. Samsung will launch the S21 earlier this time in January to take advantage of Huawei's absence and counter the late arrival of the iPhone 12 lineup. The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, Z Fold 2, and the iPhone 11 and 12 Pro have an Ultrawideband chip that lets one phone know where another device is using the same tech which can be used for fast file transfer. But the implication of this chip goes way beyond that.
In a new press release, Samsung said that they want to make it as big as Bluetooth. In the future, Samsung will also be debuting a new Digital Key solution that uses UWB to unlock compatible vehicles in place of a traditional key. Also, Xiaomi has posted its own take on UWB showing a more intuitive way to control your smart devices around the household such as controlling smart light, smart display, fan, and smart TV, by simply pointing a phone at the devices. Also, the phone’s UI automatically switches between various device control menus as you point the phone at different gadgets, no need to swipe it manually.
Finally, the phone can also unlock the door as it detects the phone nearby. Pretty cool, Samsung sees UWB as a game-changer for the future, and judging from Xiaomi's video, tech like this could make a smart home feel completely seamless, but I think we're still years away before it’s actually viable. Anyway, let me know what do you think about this down in the comments and as always I'll see you tomorrow...Peace out!
