Upgrading from the Galaxy S10 to the Galaxy S21 Plus means skipping a generation, the Galaxy S20 lineup, and also going from a regular-sized model to a plus-sized model. Skipping a generation means a decent boost in overall performance, which comes courtesy of the 8-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor in the S21 Plus. The display size goes from 6.2-inches on the S10 to 6.7-inches on the Galaxy S21 Plus. This upgrade path also means you would get support for 5G connectivity. Other highlights of the S21 Plus include 8GB of RAM, up to 256GB of internal storage, a 4800 mAh battery, a 10MP selfie camera, and a triple rear-camera setup with a 12MP wide-angle, 12MP ultra-wide-angle, and a 64MP telephoto lens.
