The Galaxy S21 series isn’t showing much signs of slowing down in Samsung’s key markets. According to the latest industry insights, the flagship family tripled the first-month sales of the Galaxy S20 range in the United States – still the world’s largest smartphone market.
Each unit in the S21 line is $200 cheaper than its S20 counterpart. The base Galaxy S21 starts at just $800, with the most expensive model running you a cool $1,200. Although $800 is still a very significant chunk of change, it seems to be a lot easier for the average consumer to swallow.
Even on the high end, Samsung is seeing boosted shipments: the $1,200 S21 Ultra has made up around 40 percent of the entire product line’s total sales. In other words, while $1,400 is seemingly too much for smartphone enthusiasts, $1,200 is just right.
Unfortunately, as solid as the S21 phones are overall especially with their cheaper price points, there are a few drawbacks. To be more specific, Samsung is omitting the usual fast-charging brick and complementary pair of headphones from its S21 shipments, citing environmental concerns and a desire to avoid contributing to “e-waste.”
