samsung galaxy s21 + (indian unit pros and cons )

 

hi guys this is shubham and in this article  let's have a closer look at the samsung galaxy s21 plus and as you can see again we have that slim box over here and uh guys uh samsung just sent me the ultra as a review unit i never got this one so i asked faisal communication and i'm happy that they just lent me out this one so that we can check it out so here we have again that slim box so no charger in this one and again guys this is the s21 plus not the regular s21 uh and again a big shout out to faizal communications uh for providing this unit and guys again if you always wanted that microsoft surface to a smartphone i actually played around with this and loved it if you really want that smartphone it's available with faisal communications i'll leave the link of his shop etc details in the description again check that so let's have a look at this one and guys uh this comes in two variants in india uh both come with eight gigabytes of ram but storage will be 128 and 256 the 128 uh variant is for 82 000 and 256 is for 86 000 and i feel 

you should go with the 256 i'll let you know why but i feel the samsung could have been a little bit more aggressive in the pricing it should have been closer to about 75 000 aso let's open it up i already opened the box guys it's a not a sealed unit uh but again it has all the accessories and stuff so some stickers and stuff so we have this in this color uh one interesting thing to note is that i don't know in india uh why the ultra is available only in two colors this phantom black case it looks cool and just that silver but the s21 and the s21 plus are available in a lot more colors and that dual tone design so i like it and again you could say lack of accessories or what you don't get much in the box we just get with some quick start guides and the usb cable and a sim ejector tool uh no headphones or not even a charger this is a sad trend apple started it now samsung is following it i don't like it but yeah that's what it is they should have at least given us uh what do you say a headphone um that usb type c they used to give that is also not

 there so nothing much in the box so here is the device itself guys and this is the plus so this is having actually a 6.7 inch screen the ultra is actually having a 6.8 inch screen i'll compare both of them because i've been using the ultra also earlier and again as you can see but the big difference is that guys earlier if you notice the s 21 s series the s20 etc all actually had a quad hd screen uh whereas this one is now restricted to full hd screen it's a good quality screen it's not like it's bad or something guys but i miss that we don't have a quad hd now if you really want that quad hd uh samsung is pushing you to this ultra uh but the good thing is that now even this one has that 120 hertz i refresh it and again the amoled

\

 screen quality is good it's the same dynamic amoled screen uh one of the best that i would say so that way it's nice but let's have a physical overview and on the top again on the even this one we have actually dual microphones so that's actually nice and the microphone pickup is actually really good on this phone even when you record videos and stuff it actually records well so we have that same thing even the ultra has that and here we have the volume rocker power on off button again we have this design they call this contour design which the camera and this frame is sort of joined it actually looks cool guys what do you guys think about the same and bottom we have the speaker uh the usb type c port and your sim tray again 

guys sim tray no micro sd card it's just to dual sim nano guys so we are not getting any micro sd card on the new s21 series so that's why i said uh if you are sort of a user who keeps his phones for more than about two years don't go the base 128 gigabyte variant go with the 256 gigabyte variant and here uh as you can see we have nothing so uh in terms of weight that this definitely is a lot less compared to 

the ultra because ultra has a lot more cameras this i recall is about 202 grams and whereas the ultra is closer to about 230 grams so you do feel that weight on this one and this definitely feels a little bit more compact in the hand and slightly not that chunky compared to the ultra so uh i like the phone in hand feel i feel it's a good thing but i miss the fact no quad hd uh and if i go over here let me actually show you it's just updating some stuff we just set it up a few minutes ago so it's downloading some stuff and it's this is also running the one ui same thing as you can see s21 plus again this is also 5g guys and some of you were asking about 5g bands yes uh both these ultra and this support a lot of 5g bands so that way you don't have to worry i'll talk about the exact bands in my full review of the ultra so stay tuned for that I 

have emailed samsung i should be getting that information the exact pants but they said it supports quite a few banks and if you go to the storage guys device care and storage here as i've told you this is the 128 gigabyte variant and as you can see i've taken some sample shots and all these things a little bit and already we are using about 20 25 gigs is used so that's the reason i would say if you are planning to use this smartphone for more than two years better to go with that 256 gigabyte variant i'm certain that samsung has removed the micro sd card they used to always give that so i feel that's not a good

 move in my frank opinion but display quality is good and uh again as i've told you uh here also we have that adaptive that means it can go to that 120 hertz you don't have to worry about it uh so that's actually nice and again all the s21 series in india come with the exynos 2100 soc that's the same case even with this one and guys this is actually a pretty decent uh soc uh unlike this what do you say earlier exynos 990 what we had this is actually way better i've been using this one for more than a week now and it's been good even the fingerprint scanner has improved on these new ones so that way i feel it's good and let's actually test the speakers uh let me just see youtube should be pre-installed let's just fire it up now let's maximize the volume and let's see so ad is coming i'll just skip that out okay it just went away like that yeah so let's just continue see it's okay fine i'll just skip that hi guys this is ranjit and in this video let's have

 a closer look at this galaxy badge pro and what do i feel about them this is not a full so guys yes the stereo speakers are good enough uh this one has slightly more depth i would say that that's the big difference and not that much uh so that's what it is and uh but big difference i would say is in the cameras if we compare with ultra if you notice the ultra is actually having a quad camera setup at the back but here it's tripled on this one actually the main camera is a 12 megapixel that's having optical image stabilization then we have a 64 megapixel this is actually 3x hybrid zoom and last then we have the 12 again a 12 megapixel that's ultra wide whereas on the ultra the main camera is actually 108 megapixel uh then we also have the ultra wide and we have actually two these two are actually zoom cameras a 10x optical zoom and a 3x optical zoom and this is not a camera this is actually a laser sensor so definitely the ultra is more versatile in the camera and even the front facing camera on the ultra has a 44 megapixel uh selfie camera whereas here we have a 10 megapixel and the camera interface is almost the same guys so i won't get into all that and we still times again watch the video of the ultra it's very similar all the modes improved single take and all those things and we also have the pro mode and even the director's view this is a new thing that samsung is doing you can use the front facing and the rate also and you

 can jump between them so that way it's the same so let me do one thing let me actually show you some of the sample shots that i have taken with this device so these shots were taken outdoors and one thing i noticed is that it's not over boosting or making the colors punchier like earlier samsung's uh used to do and as you can see the shots actually come really good in outdoor conditions now moving to indoor conditions these are shot in my office in artificial lighting and i have to say here also it's doing actually a pretty good job some more samples and this is in the portrait mode and you can also zoom in the portrait mode and i feel overall even in this indoor lighting condition it did perform very

 well now these were taken with the front facing camera and i have to say the front facing camera performance has improved quite a bit on this s21 uh series compared to earlier samsung smartphones recording this video with the front-facing camera of this galaxy s21 plus and i noticed that even with this uh front facing camera you can record video up to 4k and guys let me know what do you feel about the video again as you can see this is in indoor uh artificial lighting and the audio is being recorded via its internal microphone so guys uh that's it for now for the first look of this s21 plus and before i forget guys some of you have asked me uh what about the back of this uh the glass of this one this is the s21 plus guys and both the ultra and this one actually having a gorilla glass that's gorilla glass victors only the regular s21 is having that polycarbonate or the glass stick kind of a back this one is glass both the front and the back is actually that gorilla victus class so guys what do you guys feel about this s21 plus do let me know in the comment section below or do you think you should just spend a little bit extra and go for the ultra i would love to know your thoughts about the same do let me know in the comment section below anyways guys that's it for now thanks for watching this is shubahm and i hope to see you in my next article  take care guys
