For the general public, aka not us nerds, there are only two phone launches a year that grab attention: The latest iPhone, and the latest Galaxy S. Samsung carries the torch as the Android maker for the masses, and the Galaxy S has been the standard-bearer for over a decade.
But Samsung has a problem. The Galaxy S20 didn't sell as well as the S10 series — by some reports, sales dropped as much as 40% year-over-year. Last year's generally weak economy was partially to blame, but there are plenty of other factors at play. The Galaxy S20 series was seriously expensive, and launched during a year when several companies (Samsung included!) made a case that you don't have to spend beyond $600 to $800 to get a fantastic Android phone.
Samsung heard the complaints, and reversed course considerably. The Galaxy S21 starts at $799, a full $200 less than its predecessor. And the savings continue up the line, with the Galaxy S21+ at $999 and Galaxy S21 Ultra at $1,199. Still expensive, yes, but much more affordable than before — all while still promising improvements and fresh innovations.
