The Korean brand unveiled three new devices on Thursday, which add significant improvements in photography and video recording, in addition to incorporation for the first time – in the case of Galaxy S21 Ultra- compatibility with S Pen digital pen, which had hitherto been the exclusive distinguishing mark of the Note.
The pattern S21 Ultra is the new Flagship from Samsung, which reaches 1,439 euros in the most “superior” version (16 GB RAM and 512 GB storage). This translates to a 6.8 inch screen Dynamic Amoled 2X with a 120 hertz refresh rate, a 5,000 milliamp (mAh) battery, and a powerful quad camera with 100x hybrid zoom along with a 108-megapixel main lens that also records quality videos 4K at 60 fps.
How much is the Galaxy S21?
The price of the three versions that make up the new series of smartphones varies from 15 thousand – 23 thousand pesos.
Also interesting is the enhanced Snap 8K feature, which allows you to capture clear video images in 8K record all the action in real time and at the same time be able to get outstanding photos from the same video every time the user clicks on the recording.
This is the technological ceiling that the Korean company has set to compete with the “top of the range” of other companies in the sector. Added to these hardware innovations is the use of artificial intelligence to improve image and battery management, among other features. It also adds compatibility with S Pen – Samsung digital pen and Galaxy Note- star accessory, which now comes in the family Galaxy S.
The latter is one of the things that has attracted the most attention in the presentation of these new devices. The S pen It responds to the screen in the same way as on Note when taking notes or cropping images, but in this first version for the S series it has no remote functions. The accessory is sold separately from the mobile, together with a case, instead of being inserted inside it – as in the Note -.

THE OTHER TWO FAMILY MEMBERS: S21 AND S21 +

Also, both have a 10 MP front camera in the form of a “notch” (compared to the 40 MP of the Ultra model) and 8 GB RAM, with the possibility to opt for a model with 128 or 256 GB of storage.

There is also, of course, a change in price, which goes from EUR 849 for the most basic model to EUR 1,049 from Galaxy S21 +.
The new design of the Galaxy S has also attracted attention, especially in terms of cameras, whose module (located in the upper left rear corner of the terminal) is less noticeable than in previous versions. This room structure, named as “Contour cutting”, blends perfectly into the metal frame of the device, with an elegant but striking aesthetic.
The new Samsung Exynos 2100 It is the processor that integrates the Galaxy S21 range. A chip that makes the leap to 5 nanometers and eight cores, integrating one 5G modem to support this connectivity to all terminals unveiled on Thursday. A technological leap with which the Korean company promises a 10% improvement in performance and a 20% consumption saving.
Samung – as some of its competitors have done in recent months – has decided to remove the charger from the boxes of new mobile phones and will sell it separately, as the company believes its charging mode (USB-C) is compatible with most chargers it users already have them at home. Galaxy S21 They also have a wireless and reversible charging mode, so with a mobile phone you can charge other devices (such as headphones or smart watch, among others).
