Same as the rhythm of previous years, Samsung today released the latest S21 series, which is exactly the same as previous years' products, with a variety of high-end configurations. This year's S21 series still contains three versions of S21, S21+ and S21 Ultra, which correspond to medium cups, large cups and super large cups, and also use a new design language, with unique recognition in appearance . It is worth mentioning that because Samsung hopes to achieve better results in the Chinese market this year, it has introduced a low-price strategy in the machine. The starting price of the S21 standard version is only 5999 yuan, which is the lowest entry point for the Samsung S series this year. price.
From the perspective of hardware, the Samsung S21 series are equipped with the Snapdragon 888 chip and the Orion 2100 chip according to the different sales regions. The Snapdragon 888 chip is naturally equipped in the Chinese market. The performance of this chip must not be repeated. It has the real Cortex X1 super core in the history of the Snapdragon chip. The CPU performance and GPU performance have increased by more than 30%, and thanks to the help of the 5nm process, the overall power consumption level is also Can be reduced. Over the years, the Samsung S series will be equipped with the latest flagship chips, and this generation of S21 is of course no exception.
However, in terms of battery capacity and fast charge power, the S21 series seem to have improved very little. The battery capacities of the three versions are 4000 mAh, 4800 mAh and 5000 mAh respectively. Except for the S21 Ultra battery capacity has been improved compared to the prelude, the battery capacity of the other two models remain unchanged. The three versions only support 25W wired fast charging and 15W wireless fast charging. Compared with competitors in the Android camp, the performance of the Samsung S21 series in terms of battery life can be said to be lackluster.
In terms of screens, this generation of new machines has achieved a comprehensive upgrade, and the whole system comes standard with Dynamic AMOLED 2X screens with M11 luminescent materials. But in order to distinguish the grade and positioning of different versions, the 6.2-inch S21 and 6.7-inch S21+ only have FHD+ resolution, while the 6.8-inch S21 Ultra has 2K+ resolution. But what is gratifying and gratifying is that the S21 series comes standard with LTPO low-power backplane technology and supports 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, which can have a suitable refresh rate in different usage scenarios, taking into account smooth user experience and balance Power consumption.
In terms of photography configuration, this S21 series brings innovation in appearance. The lens module and the middle frame of the fuselage are of the same color and integrated into one body. The texture is different from that of the back cover, which looks very unconventional. In terms of lens configuration, the parameters of the S21 and S21+ are exactly the same. They both have a 10-megapixel front selfie lens, and the rear lens is a combination of a 12-megapixel main lens, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 64-megapixel telephoto lens. The S21 Ultra has a 108-megapixel main lens, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, a 10-megapixel telephoto lens and a 10-megapixel periscope lens, and is equipped with a laser focus assist, with more comprehensive configuration, richer gameplay, and more powerful.
It should be noted that only S21 Ultra in this S21 series has an S-Pen stylus. However, there is no dedicated stylus slot on the S21 Ultra body, so the stylus can only be stored separately outside the body. It can be seen that although I have a stylus, the positioning is not business-oriented like the Note series, so there is no place for a stylus. At the same time, all the boxes of the whole series have only the getting started guide, the SIM card pin and the USB-C cable. The original earphones and chargers have been cancelled. This can also be regarded as the performance of Samsung following Apple's footsteps, but in the end all It is to reduce costs and increase profits.
In terms of pricing, the Samsung S21 series this time has shown some sincerity. The Zhongcui S21 starts at 5999 yuan, breaking the price of the S series to a new low; S21+ is 7699 yuan, and S21 Ultra is 10199 yuan. But it should be noted that S21 is still castrated for low price. For example, the body is made of plastic material, which will drop a lot in terms of feel. In general, the S21 series is more like an iteration in the conventional sense, and it does not give players a bright feeling; and the S21, which has a much lower starting price, carries the expectation of Samsung to increase its share in the Chinese market and conquer the city. . However, since the starting price is relatively high, it is difficult to say what market performance it will have.
