Upgrading from a Samsung Galaxy S20 LTE to a Galaxy S21 would be a year-over-year upgrade. This upgrade path means you will be seeing a boost in performance due to the newer Snapdragon 888 processor in the Galaxy S21, which is said to add a 20% performance boost as compared to the Galaxy S20 performance. While you will notice the added performance boost due to the processor, some other aspects may be a slight downgrade. For example, the Galaxy S21 has a plastic back instead of a glass back, and there is no microSD card expansion for storage. Other feature highlights of the Galaxy S21 include a 6.2-inch Infinity-O display at 2400 x 1080, up to 256GB of internal storage, 8GB of RAM, a 4000 mAh battery, 10MP selfie camera, and a triple camera setup on the back with a 12MP wide, 12MP ultra-wide, and 64MP telephoto lens.
