## Design and Build: The Mid-Sized Powerhouse

The Galaxy S21+ sits between the compact S21 and the Ultra, offering a 6.7-inch flat Dynamic AMOLED 2X display that's perfect for media consumption and multitasking. The contour-cut camera housing that flows into the metal frame was an iconic design element.
Unlike the plastic-backed S21, the S21+ featured a glass back for a more premium feel. The phone felt solid at 200g, and the metal frame provided excellent rigidity.
## Key Features Under the Hood
The Galaxy S21+ was powered by the Snapdragon 888 or Exynos 2100, which still handles most tasks smoothly.
Here is a quick look at the standout specs:
- **Display:** 6.7-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 120Hz. Large, flat, and smooth.
- **Camera:** 12MP main + 12MP ultra-wide + 64MP telephoto (3x hybrid zoom). The 64MP sensor enabled high-resolution cropping.
- **Battery:** 4,800mAh with 25W charging. Excellent battery life.
- **Design:** Glass back, contour-cut camera housing, IP68 water resistance.
- **Storage:** 128GB/256GB (no microSD).
