In the market for a new smartphone? Consider the newly launched iPhone 15–the latest addition to the range. The iPhone 14 is also a great option for people who want hi-end tech for creating videos and managing their work. Apple has brought some of the great features of previous iPhone models and made them even better. With a rear camera with 12 megapixels, a 6.1 inch display, and up to 20 hours of battery life, it's an excellent choice if you're looking to upgrade. Or how about the iPhone 14 Pro? With an innovative dynamic island, 48 Megapixels and fast A16 Bionic chip, this iPhone is sure to give you the best of media and technology. Looking at the specs list, the Galaxy S21 has everything you could possibly need from a flagship phone in 2021: it has a mostly bezel-free 6.2in 120Hz display, a triple rear camera array and runs Android 11 from the get-go. It’s also the first phone to use Samsung’s Exynos 2100 processor, which promises faster speeds and improved efficiency over the previous flagship chip. Samsung Galaxy S21 review: Price and competition

That’s only a marginal 2.5% increase on last year’s model but it is significantly better than the iPhone 12, which the Samsung Galaxy S21 outlasted by roughly two hours under identical conditions. Samsung Galaxy S21 review: Cameras The one thing it doesn’t have is a microSD card slot, which means the 128GB or 256GB of onboard storage is all you get. That’s disappointing, although the supplied storage should be enough for most people. When it comes to making every single day count, you need the right kit. Meet Samsung Galaxy S21 FE - built for the bold. With a 32MP front-facing camera, Portrait Mode, Night Mode, and Director's View, supercharging your socials with selfies and stories has never been easier - or looked so good. A powerful processor means you can enjoy super smooth scrolling, all day long. And with a massive AI-powered battery, Galaxy S21 FE will keep going hour after hour on just one charge. Get ready to do even more.

It’s cheaper than last year, but is the Galaxy S21 worth the upgrade?

With a 6.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, Full HD+ Resolution, smooth 120Hz scrolling and a punch-hole selfie camera, Galaxy S21 FE has the smarts to match the looks. Featuring a tough Gorilla Glass Victus Front and a glastic Rear encased in a perfectly finished Aluminium Frame, it's designed for protection and peace of mind. Could all this raw power negatively affect battery life? So far, I haven’t noticed any issues. In our video rundown test, which plays a looped video at a standard screen brightness of 170cd/m2 with flight mode engaged, the Samsung Galaxy S21 lasted 18hrs 56mins before requiring a top-up. Don't like blurry, dark shots? Us too! That's why the Galaxy S21 FE's camera comes with Image Stabilisation and Night Mode, so that your photos in the evening look just as good as the ones taken in bright sunlight. The 32MP front-facing camera with Portrait mode ensures that your every angle is your best angle. When your reach exceeds your grasp, 30x Space Zoom is on hand to get you closer than ever before. 30x Space Zoom includes digital zoom, which may cause some image deterioration. How does this translate in terms of performance? The good news is that the Samsung Galaxy S21 is the fastest Samsung smartphone to date, with 50% faster multi-core processing speeds when compared against last year’s Galaxy S20 in the Geekbench 5 benchmark. It lags slightly behind Apple’s A14 Bionic chip (I was unable to run our usual benchmarking tools with the Huawei Kirin 9000) but there’s no shame in that. As for the Galaxy S21’s telephoto capabilities, the results here are a bit of a mixed bag. On the one hand, I was impressed with the pictures taken on or below 10x zoom, with zero evidence of shaky hands and very little visual noise. On the other hand, pictures captured at 20x and 30x zoom proved pretty much useless.

It’s a similar story with the Galaxy S21’s ultrawide camera. Take a look at the centre of the frame and the detail capture isn’t bad at all but as soon as your eyes drift towards the edge you begin to spot the telltale signs of a softening as well as the odd bit of chromatic aberration. A Super Fast charging 4500mAh battery makes sure that you can always be on top of your favourite shows, games and social feeds without having to reach for charging cables. Get more than 50% charge in 30 minutes with 25W Super Fast charger (sold separately). Typical value based on testing under third party lab conditions. Rated capacity for Galaxy S21 FE is 4365mAh. You’ll take some amazing pics too thanks to the 64MP rear camera, which can also capture videos in absolutely stunning 8K. That’s cinema-level quality, right there. It won’t go dying on you any time soon either, not with its All-Day Intelligent battery. Plus, drops and scrapes are no match for its Gorilla Glass® Victus™ display – scratches? What scratches? Faster, more powerful processor pairs up perfectly with all the other features of the Galaxy S21 FE 5G. The Snapdragon 888 processor brings you super-smooth multitasking, graphics, gameplay and video streaming, making it feel as if you're in the fantasy world itself. It also features IP68 Water and Dust Resistance, it's fit for almost any environment. Submersion in up to 1.5m of fresh water for up to 30 minutes. (Not advised for beach or pool use). In testing, the Galaxy S21’s sRGB colour accuracy impressed, with an average Delta E of 2.08 and coverage of 95.8% in the phone’s “Natural” setting. Peak brightness reached 652cd/m2 with the auto-brightness setting engaged and I measured a maximum luminance of 1,100cd/m2 when viewing HDR content. There’s no doubt about it, whatever you decide to watch, read or browse, the Galaxy S21’s screen is absolutely superb. Samsung Galaxy S21 review: Performance and battery life
