Nice color options, standout design, IP68 rating.
Bright AMOLED display with adaptive refresh rate handling.
Class-leading battery life.
Versatile triple camera setup (though essentially the same as last year's).
Improved selfie camera performance.

Versatile triple camera setup (though essentially the same as last year's).
Improved selfie camera performance.
Scant retail package - no charger or headphones.
Flat screen and thicker bezels lack a premium vibe, though some of you may find ergonomically nicer.
2021 chipsets aren't meaningfully more powerful than last year's.
No generational advancements in the camera department - lack of AF on the ultra wide stands out in particular, since the S21 Ultra has that.
