Freshest flagship delivers, and looks good doing it Matthew Hughes Thu 28 Jan 2021 // 10:26 UTC Share Copy Review The Samsung Galaxy S21 is not a particularly ambitious phone. There’s nothing novel or provocative about it. It’s a flagship, yes. But it’s also a fairly conservative one, faithfully sticking to the paths trodden by its predecessors. That sounds like a complaint, but believe me, it isn’t. Although Samsung repressed its playful side when designing the S21, we’re left with a phone that’s got more polish than a B&Q warehouse, and delivers everything you’d want from a flagship.
