The Exynos 2100 chip pairs with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, enough for heavy multitasking without much thought. Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus 5G price in Malaysia starts from RM2798, and for that you get a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen running at 120Hz with HDR10+ support and peak brightness of 1300 nits, so outdoor visibility isn't an issue.
On the back sits a triple camera setup: a 12MP wide lens with OIS, a 64MP telephoto with OIS and 3x hybrid zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide. It shoots video up to 8K at 24fps, which is more than most people will ever need but nice to have. The 4800mAh battery supports 25W wired charging and 15W wireless charging, plus reverse wireless charging for topping up earbuds or another phone.
Build quality holds up too, with Gorilla Glass Victus on the front and IP68 water resistance. It's a phone built for someone who wants flagship specs without chasing the newest release every year.
