Performance & Specs - Samsung S21 Singapore Review

Whether it’s for gaming or professional use, the Samsung Galaxy S21 offers top-tier performance that rivals that of even desktop computers.

The Samsung Galaxy S series retains its place as one of the most powerful smartphone money can buy, and with enough sheer power to integrate seamlessly with your PC, the S21 isn’t just a smartphone – it’s a portable extension of almost everything your PC can do, and more.

That said, if there was ever a reason not to get the Samsung Galaxy S21, it’s the new Exynos chipset. While models sold in the U.S. and China are both outfitted with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G chipset – the fastest and most powerful processor ever made for a smartphone – the Exynos 2100 sold internationally – Singapore, included - just isn’t up to scruff.

Of course, you’re still getting plenty of power and performance worthy of a Samsung Flagship, and the Exynos 2100 is a significant improvement over previous iterations, but the hard truth is that you’re not getting the same amount of juice as you would with the Snapdragon 888.

"Ultra clarity” when you zoom up to 100x - Samsung S21 Singapore Review

Samsung is a world-leader in tech displays – so much so that even their key competition, Apple, uses Samsung-made OLED displays on the majority of their iPhones – so it should come as no surprise that the Samsung Galaxy S21 comes with one of the best displays we’ve ever seen on a smartphone.

While some other smartphones may have kicked it up a notch and released an even better display (we’re looking at you, Xiaomi), there is no denying that the Samsung S21 offers stellar visual quality with the 6.2” InfinityO Dynamic AMOLED 2X display.

With a super-smooth 120Hz refresh rate, everything from movie scenes, to game animations, to even just the little animations you get when you’re using your phone – they’re all more fluid, adding to the premium feel and smoothness of the experience. Plus, with Samsung’s Eye Comfort Shield, you’re also protected from blue light.

Does S21 Ultra have Dolby Atmos?

When it comes to audio performance, the Samsung S21 offers a standard set of AKG speakers – nothing special, but the quality is there. That said, if you prefer a top-tier audio experience, Samsung does offer a wide range of audio accessories that should more than make up for the only-decent built-in speakers.

It might not have the biggest battery we’ve ever seen on a smartphone, but the Samsung Galaxy S21 definitely packs the smartest.

Featuring a new ‘Intelligent Battery’, this relatively small 4,000mAh battery pales in comparison to other flagships in terms of size, but when it comes to battery life and performance, it is way up there with the best of them. Instead of trying to pack a big battery into their flagship smartphone – potentially adding cost and weight to the sleek and lightweight Samsung S21 – the Intelligent Battery uses software to optimize power consumption and get you way past the 24-hour mark with ease.

Outfitted with a unique set of cameras, Samsung further optimized the S21’s camera system with groundbreaking software to deliver one of the best smartphone cameras available on the market today.

One look at the numbers of the Samsung S21’s camera system, and you already know it’s a little bit different. Opting for smaller 12MP wide and 12MP ultra-wide camera lenses but a larger and much more powerful 64MP telephoto camera, this new camera setup from Samsung is a game-changer.

That said, the difference between this and other flagships isn’t night and day – in fact, in some cases, you’ll still see the Apple iPhone 12 and a handful of other cameras outperform this one, but where Samsung truly shines is the suite of software optimizations that makes it one of the best cameras you can find on a smartphone. Even the 10MP selfie camera offers A.I.-enhanced performance for stellar selfies in versatile conditions.

We’re talking about some fantastic new camera features like 8K video recording with Samsung’s One Take feature that lets you pull fantastic high-resolution shots from your 8K videos.

That said, in terms of other connectivity options, the Samsung Galaxy S21 falls a little short. While other flagships are already outfitted with the faster and more reliable Bluetooth 5.2 protocol, the S21 is two iterations behind with just Bluetooth 5.0.
