Galaxy S21, who came out at the beginning of the year, was even more attractive than his predecessor. Not only is the flagship of the new generation received a more attractive design, so also technically it turned out to be arranged more completely. Despite this, Samsung managed not only not to toss the price on him, but even reduce it by 20% with respect to last year's model. But, it seems, having released such a cool Galaxy S21 on sale, Koreans matched that he could be even more attractive due to a lower price.
Can Samsung Galaxy S21 be repaired if it breaks
Samsung plans to release Galaxy S21 without 5G support. Despite the fact that the company has not yet confirmed this officially, it has already received permission to sell a simplified version of the flagship. The device will be released in two modifications - with one and two SIM cards - and has identifiers SM-G990F and SM-G990F_DS, respectively. Obviously, they should go on sale in countries where 5G support is officially not yet, including in Russia.
Galaxy S21 processor
Obviously, Galaxy S21 without 5G must maintain the status of the flagship smartphone and the appropriate iron. True, use Exynos 2100 and Snapdragon 888 processors, which make up the basis of the existing flagships, the Koreans will no longer be able, because these stones are supplied with an integrated 5G-modem. It is clear, to divide them into two independent components can no longer be, and therefore it will have to use some other processor.
Do not buy Galaxy S21 until you know these five features.
Options are not so much options, but, to be completely accurate, then three. This is either Snapdragon 870, or MediaTek Dimensity 1200, or a new exynos 2100 modification, which we still do not know. But since Samsung is unlikely to decide to use the MediaTek processor at the heart of its flagship, and Subflagramian SD870 will make Galaxy S21 with 4G less attractive, it means only exynos remains.
Obviously, Samsung decided to release Galaxy S21 with 4G just in case. They will go to those markets where the classic modification is not for sale. Is there any such, while it is difficult to say, but the simplified flagship has not yet officially appeared. Personally, I fully admit that the new version of Galaxy S21 may appear in Russia, becoming an alternative to the classic model. And the reason for this is one - the price.
Why Galaxy S21 in Russia is so expensive
I recently explained in detail why Galaxy S21 at an initially lower price in Russia is even more expensive than S20. The whole thing was in support of the fifth generation networks. Just the Russian Galaxy S20 party was not equipped with 5G support, and therefore it was cheaper in production.
But since the Galaxy S21 is completed with a processor with an integrated 5G modem, the costs of it turned out to be a little higher for samsung. So the dollar rate is if and played some role in the formation of the price of Samsung flagships in Russia, then clearly not the most important.
What you need to know about the autonomy of Galaxy S21. There is not all obvious
If you believe the information sources information, each 5G modem costs Samsung $ 80. This is a lot, at least the company and pays not only for the hardware component, but also for the license for using the fifth generation networks.
As a result, the Russian version of Galaxy S21 is unreasonably becoming more expensive. Unnecessary - because local consumers cannot enjoy all the advantages for which they pay. Therefore, in theory, there should be a lower demand for Galaxy S21 than on Galaxy S20. And as soon as it becomes noticeable, the false flagship will take place without 5G.
