amsung is one of the two giants in smartphone games. Although Apple focuses on stylish design and usability, Samsung focuses on innovation and technology, which may not be experienced on the iPhone in a few generations.
But which Samsung phone is the best?
We looked at a series of phones from this Korean manufacturer and rated them based on processing power, storage capacity, camera capabilities, display technology, pricing, etc. to rank the five best Samsung phones we think you can buy right now .
1. Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G-4.5/5 stars
Maximum camera resolution (megapixels): 108MP
Maximum storage capacity:512GB
Screen Resolution: 3200 x 1440
Pixels per inch of screen (PPI): 515
Display refresh rate: 120 Hz
battery capacity: 5,000mAh
Camera aperture range: f1.8-4.9
Samsung’s latest and greatest product is the premium version of its Galaxy S21 flagship phone, which offers enhanced specifications at a high price.
With 16GB of large memory and an eight-core processor with a maximum frequency of 2.9GHz, this is one of the most powerful mobile phones on the market. The large AMOLED display may make the phone unsuitable for small hands, but it means that you have enough space for a large 5,000 mAh battery, allowing you to see yourself clearly throughout the day.
If you are serious about photography, S21 Ultra 5G may provide the most powerful camera array you can get on your phone. Its ultra-high resolution 108MP lens can achieve 100x zoom, and thanks to its impressive f-number range, you can finely control the professional bokeh effect of each shot and portrait.
2. Samsung Galaxy S21-4/5 stars
Maximum camera resolution (megapixels): 64MP
Maximum storage capacity: 256GB
Screen Resolution: 2400 x 1080
Pixels per inch of screen (PPI): 421
Screen refresh rate:120 Hz
battery capacity: 4,000mAh
Camera aperture range: f1.8-2.2
The standard version of the latest Samsung flagship provides something more manageable for smaller hands and budgets. It is still an expensive phone, priced at 819 pounds, but it is cheaper than the iPhone 12 with the same storage capacity. The 6.2-inch AMOLED display refreshes at an ultra-smooth frequency of 120Hz, just like its Ultra big brother, but the resolution is not that high. Its eight-core processor is as powerful as the more expensive processors, but the basic S21 is equipped with half of the RAM.
Half of the storage space is 256GB, and there is no slot for Micro SD card expansion.
The 4,000mAh battery should allow you to spend a whole day between charges. Although not as powerful as Ultra, the camera settings are still impressive-including a 64MP main lens and 30x zoom.
If you prefer a smaller (but still quite large) phone, and you have never had any complaints about the battery life of your smartphone, you can save a lot of money by choosing the Galaxy S21 5G instead of the Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G.
3. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 5G-4/5 stars
screen size:6.2”/7.6”
Maximum camera resolution: 12MP
Maximum storage capacity: 256GB
Screen Resolution: 2208 x 816/ 2208 x 1768
Pixels per inch of screen (PPI): 373
Screen refresh rate: 120 Hz
battery capacity: 4,500mAh
Camera aperture range: f1.8-2.4
Although the price is very high, z Fold2 has a place on our list due to its pure innovation. The display of a folding phone can be 6.2 inches or seamless 7.6 inches when opened. It improves on Samsung’s original Z Fold device, with narrower bezels and better hinges, and the two displays are combined into one.
However, this is not all a gimmick. Z Fold2 is equipped with 12GB of memory, a maximum CPU speed of 3.09GHz and a display refresh rate of 120Hz, making it basically the same as Samsung’s flagship product. The camera has some compromises, the lens is limited to 12MP and 10x zoom, but it can still meet your expectations for a phone that costs more than £1,000.
4. Samsung Galaxy S20 FE-3.5/5 stars
Maximum camera resolution: 32MP
Maximum storage capacity: 256GB
Screen Resolution: 2400 x 1080
Pixels per inch of screen (PPI): 407
Screen refresh rate: 120 Hz
battery capacity: 4,500mAh
Camera aperture range: f1.8-2.4
The previous generation of S20 phones was so popular that Samsung brought it back under the name of Fan Edition (FE), offering some upgrades at affordable prices. This mid-range phone is equipped with 8GB of memory and an eight-core processor up to 2.8GHz, a 6.5-inch AMOLED display (refreshed at 120Hz) and a moderately sized 4,500mAH battery to keep everything going normally.
This phone is equipped with 256GB of internal storage space, but unlike its successors, it has a Micro SD card slot that can hold up to 1TB. There are two 12MP camera lenses on the back and an 8MP telephoto lens with up to 30x zoom.
There is a 32MP selfie camera on the front. All in all, you can get a phone with almost top specifications for a low price of £300-but without a 5G connection.
5. Samsung Galaxy A21s-3.5/5 stars
Maximum camera resolution: 48MP
Maximum storage capacity: 128GB
Screen Resolution: 1600 x 700
Pixels per inch of screen (PPI): 270
Screen refresh rate: 60Hz
battery capacity: 5,000mAh
Camera aperture range: f2-2.4
The “best phone” is not always the phone with the highest specifications, especially if your budget is limited. If you only use your phone for messaging, calling, and daily applications, the £170 Galaxy A21s has a lot to say. It is equipped with a 6.5-inch (LCD) screen, a high-resolution 48MP main camera and a durable 5,000mAh battery.
The sacrifices you make for lower prices are low-resolution displays, sub-average RAM, and relatively slow processors, which can make running concurrent applications a headache. Nevertheless, if you are not a smartphone addict, but you like the Samsung brand, then there are enough positive factors to justify its affordable asking price.
