Did Samsung beat Apple’s smartphone design with the Galaxy S21?

The Galaxy S21 Ultra is a beast with dual zoom lenses, a dynamic 6.8-inch display and S Pen support for a more affordable price.

The Galaxy S21 Ultra features the new Snapdragon 888 processor from Qualcomm, which promises 20% better CPU performance, 30% better graphics and up to twice the AI performance.

The luxurious feeling that the Galaxy S21 gives off is unlike anything we’ve experienced with a Samsung. The Contour Cut camera housing is what catches the eye instantly. Samsung has replaced glass with metal for the camera housing and it feels very premium to the touch.

The impeccable finish with the curved and polished edges speaks volumes about Samsung’s industrial design capabilities. The Galaxy S21+ and Galaxy S21 Ultra are your familiar slabs of metal and glass. They get the best in class durability with Gorilla Glass Victus on both the front and back.

The matte finish goes very well with  the new colors, particularly the Phantom Silver and Phantom Black colors for the Galaxy S21 Ultra.

One can’t help but wonder whether someone from Apple designed this device. Its iPhones have always felt a bit more polished and refined than other smartphones. What the Galaxy S21 lineup proves is that Samsung knows design and is very capable of beating Apple at it.
