About Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G

The Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G feels compact yet substantial in the hand, measuring 76.5 mm wide, 161.5 mm tall and just 7.8 mm thick while weighing 200 g. Its front is dominated by a 6.67‑inch AM‑OLED panel that delivers vivid colours and sharp detail at a resolution of 1080 by 2400 pixels, offering a comfortable viewing experience for everything from scrolling through feeds to watching video content.

Inside, the device runs Google Android 11 and is equipped with 8 GiB of RAM, providing smooth multitasking and responsive app performance. A 4 800 mAh battery powers the phone throughout the day, and when it needs a boost, the 15 W wired charging tops it up efficiently. Connectivity is handled via 5G support, and the handset is configured for a single SIM card, keeping the interface straightforward for users who prefer a straightforward setup.

This variant

The SM‑G996B/DS model adds a second SIM slot, turning the single‑SIM setup of the base Galaxy S21+ 5G into a dual‑SIM configuration while keeping the same dimensions, display, battery and internals. It is marketed as a global TD‑LTE device, meaning it is not tied to a specific carrier or regional variant like the US, Canadian, Korean, Japanese or Hong Kong models. Compared with the other global dual‑SIM offering (the 128 GB SM‑G996B/DS), this version doubles the internal storage to 256 GB, while all other specifications remain identical.
