Samsung Galaxy S21-series announcement coverage wrap-up
It sure was a busy day, as is becoming a tradition when Samsung holds one of its Unpacked events. The company announced another a trio of flagship models alongside the Galaxy Buds Pro with smarter ANC and even better audio quality, and the Smart Tag trackers.
The S21 Ultra is surely looking like one of the most formidable cameraphones we"ve ever seen, while the S21 and S21+ bring a new design, but comparatively fewer upgrades over the outgoing S20 and S20+. The good news is all three are cheaper than their predecessors, but the bad news is that chargers and headphones are gone from the retail packages, while microSD expansion is no longer possible.
Here are the cheat sheets for each phone so you can get up to speed.
