The new flagship series is packed with state of the art innovations with the most advanced processor ever installed in a Galaxy device, an epic pro-grade camera that wraps around the side of the phone and the slick iconic design that will have users around the world turning their heads. Each device offers the connectivity, power and performance that only Samsung can deliver.
“We are living in a mobile-first world, and with so many of us working remotely and spending more time at home, we wanted to deliver a smartphone experience that meets the rigorous multimedia demands of our continuously changing routines,” said Justin Hume, Director: Integrated Mobility at Samsung South Africa.
“We also recognise the importance of choice, especially now, and that’s why the Galaxy S21 series gives you the freedom to choose the best device for your style and needs.”
For the past decade, the Galaxy S series has delivered groundbreaking, flagship mobile experiences and they continue to do so as more people rely on their smartphone for expression, connection and entertainment.
