Galaxy S8 Active vs Galaxy S21 Plus 5G

If you’re the type of person that upgrades every few years, you may be considering upgrading from your Galaxy S8 Active, which was originally released in 2017. Upgrading to the Galaxy S21 Plus would be a great upgrade path, and it would give you a boost in almost all areas. The one point to note would be the rugged design of the Galaxy S8 Active. Samsung made this model with tougher materials that were designed to help protect against drops. The Galaxy S21 Plus is durable, but also has more glass, which means it may not handle a drop quite as well unless you have it protected with a rugged case. Of course, the S21 Plus has an IP68 rating that protects it against dust and water. Other highlights of the Galaxy S21 Plus include a Snapdragon 888 processor and 6.7-inch (2400 x 1080) display, along with 8GB of RAM, up to 256GB of internal storage, and a 4800 mAh battery with fast wireless charging.
