Samsung Galaxy S21 smartphones: smarter, cheaper but don’t come with a charger
Samsung’s new Galaxy S21 lineup has an updated look and lower price tags, but customers will also notice two items missing from the box: headphones and a charger.
In a digital press conference on Thursday, with the tagline “Welcome to the Everyday Epic,” the company demoed its three new Galaxy S21 smartphones in varying sizes — a 6.2-inch Galaxy S21, a 6.7-inch S21+ and a 6.8-inch S21 Ultra. Samsung showed off its faster Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor, advanced AI-powered cameras, new colors in a matte finish and premium earbuds you can buy to go with it. All models come with built-in 5G capabilities.

The new Samsung Galaxy S21 lineup is here. (Here are CNET's Galaxy S21 review and Galaxy S21 Ultra review.) The phones will be available in pastels like phantom violet and phantom pink. Phantom shades of blue, gray and brown are also among the new colors available.
We were fairly sure this was going to be the case after product photos leaked ahead of the company's Unpacked event on Thursday. Tipster Evan Blass and German tech publication WinFuture had leaked multiple images of the new devices and their possible new colors, with Samsung's "phantom" naming convention. A last-minute leak of Samsung promotional slides also listed the colors by name and model.
