Everything you need, without the luxuries you don`t. It`s easy to get drawn in by the allure of über-premium devices like the Galaxy S21 Ultra, but if there`s anything Samsung learned from last fall`s shockingly performant Galaxy S20 FE, it`s that for many users, the best Android phone isn`t necessarily the one with the highest price tag. That`s especially true now, as thousands across the U.S. are struggling to make ends meet amidst a global pandemic; for those people, dropping four figures on a smartphone is hardly a top priority.

While it makes a few concessions in order to reach that lower price, the S21 still offers a fully-fledged flagship experience that I think most people will be perfectly happy with — but make no mistake, this isn`t just a smaller S21 Ultra by any means.
