The Samsung Galaxy S21 series promises to make the "everyday epic." But Samsung's three new phones—the $799 S21, the $999 S21+, and the $1,199 S21 Ultra—are more everyday than epic, primarily fixing and refining the S20 line's concepts rather than doing anything radical. The three new phones are $200 to $400 less expensive than last year's flagships, reflecting pandemic-straitened budgets. They double down on last year's promise of 100x zoom, but insist that this year they're getting it right. They bring the S Pen to Samsung's non-Note phones. And they are the first Samsung phones certified for the upcoming C-band 5G networks, which future-proof them for the next few years.
