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 variant is the US‑specific UW model, featuring 256 GB of internal storage and a single‑SIM tray, and it weighs 171 g—one gram more than the base Galaxy S21 5G. It retains the same 6.24‑inch AM‑OLED display, Android 11, 8 GB RAM, 4 000 mAh battery and 15 W wired charging as the base model.

Compared with the other listed Galaxy S21 5G variants, this US UW version distinguishes itself by its market region (United States), its UW (mmWave 5G) designation, its 256 GB storage capacity, and its single‑SIM configuration, whereas many alternatives are limited to 128 GB storage, dual‑SIM setups, or are tailored for South Korea, China/HK, Japan, Canada or global markets.
