Samsung's Galaxy S21 lineup is sure to make Android fans happy. From the base model, the Galaxy S21 to the top-of-the-line S21 Ultra, the entire lineup offers a modest upgrade from previous Galaxy phones. (We haven't had a chance to review the S21 Plus quite yet.) All three phones have a new design, with a new metal-framed camera array on the back and new camera tricks. If you pick up the high-end Ultra model, you can even use Samsung's S Pen stylus to write on your screen, just as you can on a Galaxy Note model. (Keep in mind, you'll need to buy the S Pen separately as the Ultra doesn't come with one.)
This year, all three Galaxy S21 models offer full 5G, and now you don't have to pick between a smoother scrolling experience or the display's high resolution -- you can now have both at the same time.
Below I'll walk you through the Galaxy S21's launch, including when preorders will arrive and when you can walk into a store and buy the new phone.
