Price last checked: 18 Oct 2022. Confirm current price before buying.
Samsung Galaxy S21 5G 128GB price in Malaysia starts from RM1769, putting a flagship-tier Exynos 2100 chipset within reach at a used or refurbished price point. Paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, it handles daily multitasking without much fuss. The 6.2-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen runs at 120Hz with HDR10+ support and hits 1300 nits peak brightness, so scrolling and video playback both feel smooth and sharp.
The camera setup is where this one still holds up: a 12MP wide lens sits alongside a 64MP telephoto with 3x hybrid zoom and a 12MP ultrawide, backed by OIS on the main and telephoto shooters. It shoots up to 8K video too, which was rare at this price when the phone launched in 2021.
Battery capacity is a modest 4000mAh, but 25W wired charging and 15W wireless charging help offset that. Build quality includes Gorilla Glass Victus on the front and IP68 water resistance, plus an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor. It ships with Android 11 and One UI 3.1, and comes only in Phantom Gray.
