What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it is a good phone with a bright, attractive screen, strong performance and a capable camera, but only a modest update on the S21+. The common complaints are the high price and battery life that could be better; TechRadar also found it uncomfortable to hold and its software slow, while Stuff felt rivals offer more for less.
