Samsung just slashed Galaxy S21 prices at Amazon, taking up to $250 off

By Andrew Martonik February 22, 2021

Samsung has just slashed prices for its Galaxy S21 series on Amazon as part of a “Samsung Week on Amazon” promotion that runs now through February 28. The Galaxy S21, S21+, and S21 Ultra are $100 to $250 off their launch prices. Considering they’re just a month old, this deal is incredible.

The base Galaxy S21 is marked down to $699, which is fantastic. That’s just $100 more than the Galaxy S20 FE right now, which is discounted itself.

The Galaxy S21+ is now just $799, another incredible deal. At this price, it’s a pretty easy choice to get the plus variant for its larger screen, longer battery life, and glass back.

The top-end Galaxy S21 Ultra is only $999 now, making it much more attainable. It was already my favorite Android phone at its original $1,200 price, and this really seals the deal if you can pick one up at a discount.

Here’s the best part: Whether on purpose or accident, Samsung’s actually discounting the higher-storage variants of all three phones even more, completely covering the price difference in the models. That means you can pick up a 256GB model for the exact same discounted price as a base 128GB model. Those who lament the loss of the SD card slot may turn their heads when they can get double the storage for the same price.

Samsung’s running this discount, throughout the week, but I wouldn’t delay … stock may get impacted quickly with these deep cuts. Samsung says it’ll have further discounts on TVs, soundbars, monitors, and audio accessories this week as well, so keep your eyes on the Samsung store page on Amazon.

Why the Galaxy S23 is the small phone you’ve been waiting for

Galaxy S23 back in hand.

I think we have the wrong idea of a “compact phone.” Sure, the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini fit the bill with their 5.42-inch displays, but it’s 2023 – the era of content consumption. And In my opinion, any screen under 6 inches is too small for a regular person watching videos on their phone.

The definition of "big" phones has changed in recent years. In 2013, when the Galaxy Note 3 launched with its 5.7-inch display, it was considered huge. But a decade later, with the advancements in shrinking the bezels and phones getting bigger, I’m here telling you how a phone with a 6.1-inch display is the compact phone you’ve been waiting for.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5: news, leaks, price predictions, and more

Samsung is one of the most popular brands when it comes to mainstream foldable phones, as it has the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 available right now. But we are expecting the Galaxy Z Flip 5 later this year, which should once again give us one of the most compact smartphone experiences thanks to the super-portable size that allows it to fit in any pocket, a large screen when unfolded, and more.

Though the Galaxy Z Flip 4 is good for techies, it does fall short in some areas — including battery life, camera quality, and the tiny cover screen. But Samsung has a chance to rectify all of these issues with the Z Flip 5, as there have been rumors that Samsung is making some big changes.

New Galaxy S24 Ultra rumor teases a major camera upgrade

It's no secret that the Galaxy S23 Ultra's cameras are impressive, but it seems like the S24 Ultra may be one-upping its predecessor. Aside from the addition of its 200MP sensor, there wasn't much of a difference between the S22 Ultra's camera array and the one found on the S23 Ultra. However, a new leak suggests that the S24 Ultra will be taking a major step to elevate camera performance.

In a post to Twitter, leaker @Tech_Reve claims that the Galaxy S24 Ultra will be ditching the S23 Ultra's 3x and 10x telephoto lenses in favor of a single 3x to 10x variable folded telephoto lens. While the change may seem subtle, the difference in what the S24 Ultra can accomplish with its camera array could be vast as a result.
