Upgrading from the Galaxy S10 Plus to the Galaxy S21 Plus has you sticking with the Plus-sized model, which means both have oversized displays. The Galaxy S21 Plus display measures 6.7-inches with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 and a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. This upgrade path also means skipping the S20 lineup, which ultimately means a decent boost in performance. The Galaxy S21 Plus is powered by an 8-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor with 8GB of RAM and options for 128GB or 256GB of internal storage. You will also find support for 5G connectivity, a 4800 mAh battery with 25W fast wired charging and 15W fast wireless charging, a 10MP selfie camera, and a 12MP wide-angle, 12MP ultra-wide-angle, and 64MP telephoto array on the back.
