Samsung Electronics (005930) Financial analysisChart areaGoing Company ReportThe Galaxy S21 series, released on the 15th, consists of a total of three models. The Galaxy S21, which is a 6.2-inch basic model, the Galaxy S21+ (Plus), with a 0.5-inch larger display, and a total of four rear cameras, are the Galaxy S21 Ultra models with one more eye than other models. The basic model, the Galaxy S21, is the first 5G (5G) flagship smartphone to lower the factory price to the high end of 900,000 won, making it suitable for 5G users with light pockets. The Galaxy S21 Plus reflects the needs of customers who want a wide and cool screen. The Galaxy S21 Ultra is welcoming to users who want to take professional-grade photos and videos.

◇’Katuktu’ wrapped design stands out

The biggest interest in the design of the Galaxy S21 series is the exterior that surrounds the camera. The controversy over the’like or dislike’ over the part of the camera module connected to the metal frame outside the smartphone heated the Internet even before the launch. Looking directly at the basic model and the plus model product, the’katuk-tu’ (a phenomenon in which the camera pops out) was considerably supplemented. The rose gold metal frame and the light purple (phantom violet color) body with a matte haze finish that does not stain fingerprints are stylishly harmonized. There was still a feeling of grip that seemed to be tightly wrapped in my hand. Thanks to its light weight of 169g, it could be held comfortably on the wrist. However, the ultra model with the added telephoto lens still stands out clearly with the camera module. When using the S Pen, it was too difficult to use it on a flat surface.

◇’Four Eyes’ Ultra, clear even at night in zoom mode

The ultra model adopted’four eyes’ while leaving regret in the design and use of the S Pen, giving strength to the camera performance. When I held it in my hand, I felt a heavy weight of 228g. That would be so, the Ultra model boasts a monster-class shooting performance with a total of 5 cameras on the front and rear. On the back, there were a total of four cameras: △100 million ultra-high-pixel wide-angle camera, △12 million-pixel dual-pixel ultra-wide-angle camera △3, 10x zoom, and 10 million-pixel dual-pixel telephoto camera. All five cameras on the front and rear support 4k shooting at 60fps, so you can easily shoot professional-grade video. It is a bonus that you can shoot 10x optical zoom and 100x digital zoom. If you use the’Zoom Lock’ function, it is possible to use the practical zoom function without problems caused by hand shaking even when the zoom is pulled by holding the hand shake. By merging nine pixels into one and applying a technology that absorbs more light, low-light shooting was supplemented, so it was possible to shoot street night scenes and fireworks clearly. There was little change in sharpness when comparing traffic signs at night using 1x, 3x, and 10x optical zoom.

The camera performance of the basic and plus models as well as the ultra model has been greatly improved. It seems that’Vlog (video diary)’ is in line with the everyday trend. With a’triple (triple)’ camera supported by a 5nm (nanometer) processor, it is possible to shoot 3x optical zoom, and while taking a video in 8K, you can take 8K high-definition photos as a capture. You can create interesting videos with the’Director’s View’ function that allows you to preview telephoto, wide-angle, and ultra-wide camera angles on one screen as well as front and rear simultaneous shooting. The artificial intelligence (AI) function was applied to portrait and selfie modes, making it suitable for taking photos for uploading SNS (social network service). However, the fact that the RAM capacity reduced to 8GB and external memory cannot be used due to the lower price may be regrettable for those who use smartphones for high-capacity video recording.

One of the most anticipated points was that the Ultra model will support the S Pen for the first time in the Galaxy S series. As you can use the S Pen, which was previously only available for notes or tabs, it can be a good alternative for users who have chosen the note series. Samsung Electronics is planning to release an additional accessory exclusive for the Galaxy S21 Ultra that can store the S Pen.

◇Wireless earphone Buzz Pro, I forgot to wear it

The first impression of the Galaxy Buzz Pro, which a reporter using the Galaxy Buzz+ (Plus) felt, was “pretty”. The square matte case like Live is ahead in design than the existing Galaxy Buds, which have an elongated oval. The earbuds, which were nicknamed’pebblestone’ thanks to their shiny feel, were truly innovative. Unlike conventional canal-type earphones, which are effective in blocking noise, but difficult to wear for more than 30 minutes due to pain, the Galaxy Buds Pro sits comfortably along the curves of the ears. Even though it was a kernel type, it felt like wearing an open type earphone. I used it for several hours, but there was no discomfort in my ear, so I forgot to have earbuds in place.

Call quality, one of the biggest issues of wireless earphones, was also flawless. The reporter said that the other person talking on the phone with the earphones said that they hardly noticed the difference in the quality of the call between the phone and the Galaxy Buds Pro. The Galaxy Buds Pro distinguishes between the user’s voice and unnecessary noise with three microphones and a’voice pickup unit’. The’wind shield’ function to block the wind was installed for the first time, allowing clear calls even outdoors.

The noise canceling function, which was considered the biggest weakness of the existing Galaxy Buds, is no longer pushed. The Galaxy Buds Pro has significantly improved the Active Noise Canceling (ANC) function, which cancels out noise by generating an opposite wave. They are proud to block up to 99% of external noise. As a result of using it when a reporter walks next to a noisy road or rides the subway, it has the power to catch most of the noise. Due to the nature of noise canceling, there is a feeling of pressure that makes the ears blank, but it does not seem to be a problem for familiar users.
