The new line of the Samsung Galaxy S21 has a fresh look and is cheaper, but when they buy it, consumers will find that it comes without a charger or headphones, as happens in smartphones.
At a digital press conference on Thursday, entitled “Welcome to Epic of Everyday”, the company presented its 3 new smartphones: 6.2-inch Galaxy S21, 6.7-inch S21 + and S21 Ultra of 6.8 inches. All models are capable of 5G.
Samsung also introduced the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor, artificial intelligence cameras, new colors with matte finish and headphones that you can buy separately.
The S21 and S21 + models have a screen resolution of 2400 x 1080 px, while the S21 Ultra model has one of 3200 x 1400 px. The S21 Ultra also has 4 rear cameras, while the other two have 3.
The 4 cameras of the S21 Ultra model are: One of the 12 megapixels with an ultra-wide lens to capture landscapes or group photos; another 108 megapixels with a wide-angle lens for clarity and color accuracy; and two 10-megapixel cameras with telephoto lenses that allow higher zoom.
S21 is priced at $ 799, S21 at $ 999, and S21 Ultra at $ 1,199; making them 200 to 300 USD cheaper than the models they replace. The price matches Apple’s iPhone line, although the S21 Ultra costs $ 100 more than the iPhone Pro Max.
S21 and S21 + are available in purple, black, gray, white and pink; while S21 Ultra is available in shades of black, silver, coffee, titanium and navy blue. The devices will be available for pre-order next Thursday and will start to be delivered on January 29th.
All 3 models are supported by the S Pen stylus from the Note series of phones, but they do not have a charger for durability reasons, according to Samsung. The iPhone did something similar last year.
Samsung has also introduced the Galaxy Buds Pro wireless headphones, with improved sound cancellation and an ambient sound option. The product has 3 built-in microphones that separate the user’s voice from the background sound.
The headphones, available in purple, black and silver, cost $ 199; this is $ 50 less than the Apple AirPods Pro.
