Never miss that perfect shot again. Meet Galaxy S21 5G and S21+ 5G. Designed to revolutionise video and photography, with beyond cinematic 8K resolution so you can snap epic photos right out of video. It has it all in two sizes: 64MP, our fastest chip and a massive battery. Things just got epic.
Groundbreaking protection
Built for those "oh no!" moments, Gorilla Glass Victus™ delivers scratch and damage resistance that makes it the toughest in a Galaxy smartphone.
Take epic photos in every 8K video
8K Video is the highest resolution in a Galaxy smartphone, making your footage look even better than the cinema. And with 8K 24fps, every vlog and memory is your next shot at stardom. Record, upload and watch right on YouTube.
Action-packed and super-smooth
Super Steady begs for action. Now that we’ve combined AI stabilisation with 60fps capture, your adventures can get a bit more adventurous — since your phone shoots like an action cam.
Super Smooth 60fps Video lets you relive the moment without skipping a beat. Its dynamic frame rate automatically adjusts, so you record super-smooth video in both bright and low light.
The night is yours
No lighting crew? Hate that obnoxious flash? No problem. Now you can light up the night and capture it in vivid colour, at night or in low light and without all the extras.
Say farewell ‘too far away’
Enhanced camera quality allows for 30x digital zoom, making it look like those back row seats were actually close enough to touch the band. Zoom Lock stabilises the shot when your hand gets shaky.
Puts your best face forward
Selfie mode is enhanced by AI to bring out your features in realistic, true-to-life colour.
The 10MP front-facing camera packs in tons of detail, while the fast autofocus makes sure you easily get your best shots.
Meet the fastest chip ever in Galaxy
Packing more speed, more power and more intelligence, the 5nm processor is fast enough to keep up with the action, so you can do more even faster. There's no slowing down now.
Share only what you want
Galaxy S21 5G and S21+ 5G deliver the highest level of security certification, with Samsung Knox securing your phone from the chip up and Knox Vault encrypting your biometric authentication data. And with a larger, lower latency Ultrasonic Fingerprint sensor, you can unlock even faster — even if your finger's dry.
Water? Whatever
IP68 rated protection
HyperFast 5G lets you download a whole season of your favourite show in a flash. The 5G-compatible chipset delivers faster speeds to keep you connected as you upload or download. While HyperFast Wi-Fi connects you to everything you love quickly and reliably.
Motion Mirror keeps in step with your training — letting you project your phone to your TV, so you can follow a workout routine while also watching yourself.
The apps you love, on your PC
Click the Start menu or taskbar and open your pinned mobile apps right on your Windows 10 PC. Scroll through memories, see social media feeds and connect with friends. All a snap when you have Your Phone Apps.
All you need to make everyday epic
Start 2021 off light. It's packaged with exactly what you need — and nothing that will clutter up your drawers.
