YouTuber posts four-minute hands-on video showing Samsung Galaxy S21 +
YouTuber Random Stuff 2 has posted an extensive hands-on video of the Samsung Galaxy S21 +. He is said to have had the device in his hands for several weeks and gives a four-minute tour.
Random Stuff 2 calls the phone ‘in one word: very good’. He runs GeekBench 5 on it and the device achieves scores of 1115 in the single-core test and 3326 in multicore. It can also be seen that it runs Android 11 and Random Stuff 2 states that the battery can ‘easily last a whole day’. What is also striking is that the bezels of the device have become thinner at the bottom and top compared to its predecessors, the Galaxy S20 series.
Recently, it came out through Android Police that Samsung is planning to unveil the new S21 series on January 14th. It bases that on sources that it does not disclose, however. Furthermore, the site revealed that the S21 and S21 + will both have a flat screen, which this new video also confirms. The S21 Ultra would get curved screen edges. It is also striking that the display would get a downgrade from 1440p to 1080p, but that should yield a noticeable difference in battery life.
