About Samsung Galaxy S21 5G

The Samsung Galaxy S21 5G fits comfortably in the hand with dimensions of 71.2 mm wide, 151.7 mm tall and just 7.9 mm thick, weighing a light 170 grams. Its single‑slot SIM tray keeps the profile sleek, while the front is dominated by a vivid Color AM‑OLED panel measuring 6.24 inches across. The screen delivers a sharp 1080 by 2400 pixel resolution, bringing vivid colours and deep blacks to everyday content.

Under the hood, the device runs Google Android 11 and is equipped with 8 GiB of RAM, providing smooth multitasking and responsive performance. A 4 000 mAh battery powers the phone throughout the day, and when it needs a top‑up, the wired charging system supports up to 15 watts. Together, these specifications give the Galaxy S21 5G a balanced mix of portability, visual quality and everyday usability.

This variant

This Japan‑market variant (SM‑G991J) carries the SCG09 model identifier and adds Ultra Wideband (UW) TD‑LTE support for JP carriers while keeping a single‑SIM tray. It ships with 256 GB of internal storage and weighs 171 g, one gram more than the base model.

Compared with the other Japan‑specific SM‑G991D model, it shares the same 256 GB capacity and UW TD‑LTE configuration but differs in its exact model number (SCG09 versus SC‑51B/SGH‑N649). All other hardware specifications remain identical to those of the base Galaxy S21 5G.
