At eye level with the iPhone 12
The Galaxy S21 topped the product test

Stifting Warranty sends Samsung’s Galaxy S21 trio through its lab course. Smartphones work better and can hold Apple’s iPhone 12 devices. Examiners did not find an EV in the ointment, but there was no charger in the packaging.

It is a little late Stifting Warrant Samsung’s new S-Class smartphones were tested, which the South Koreans delivered in mid-January. They matured early, so rational. This is evident in the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21 + and Galaxy S21 Ultra Tested from ntv.de. All three provided a sovereign performance. Product testers certify Samsung’s new flagships as “better performance compared to current iPhones 12”.

According to the auditors, the scenes are “their best”. They especially appreciate the potential fluid scrolling with a high refresh rate of 120 Hz (Hz). They do not like the slightly curved sides of the ultra screen because they catch slightly annoying reflections. The fact that Samsung did not offer the highest display resolution of the two smaller models does not bother product testing. The panels appeared to be more “crisp”, higher clarity in advertising was better than in everyday life, write selectors.

Real camera improvement only with Ultra

With the triple camera of the Galaxy S21 and S21 +, the testers did not see much improvement compared to the previous models. However, with the Ultra model, you are particularly impressed by the new telephoto camera with ten times the optical magnification. The following applies to all three variants: “Autofocus (in the case of high-width focal length camera modes) is stable, processing speed is high and images in night mode are slightly better than last year.”

In terms of handling and performance, Warentest has no complaints, the devices consistently offer high levels, they say. There is extra appreciation for the strong character because all three models escaped the drop test almost undamaged. In the previous year, two major types were broken down in this experiment.

Finally, Warentest also welcomed the fact that Samsung has slashed prices – from 49 to 119 euros. However, buyers have to do without the new charger, the Galaxy S21 Trio is sold without electricity. There is also a small critique from Warrantest regarding the inability to expand flash memory with microSD cards.
