Samsung fans rejoice! The new Galaxy S21 series is launching sooner than expected this year. You can pre-order your new device now and get a pair of Galaxy Buds Pro/Live and a SmartTag for free. The offer is valid until 28.01.2021.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G
The S21 Ultra with 5G connectivity is the high-end model in the S21 series. It’s the largest model, sporting a 6.8-inch edge display. The Ultra’s 108 MP camera is especially worth mentioning for snapping high-quality pictures. The improved camera offers 200% less image noise, especially in low-light conditions. The dual optical lenses and improved image stabiliser enables 100× zoom shooting. The «Vlogger View» function allows you to record interactive videos. The latest Exynos with 8 cores and 5 nm architecture delivers more than 200% AI performance compared to the predecessor, the Galaxy S20.
Update from 19.1.2021
We can now offer the Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G with 512 GB storage and 16 GB RAM in pre-sale (without free add-on). The quantities for Switzerland are very limited. We expect a delivery at the end of April 2021. Delivery dates and availability are subject to change and are without guarantee. This version is excluded from the promotion with free Galaxy Buds Pro.
Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G
The Plus model gives you a 6.7-inch flat display with a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz and a triple camera. The battery capacity is 4,800 mAh and charges to 50% in 30 minutes thanks to the quick charge function. All three Samsung models have an in-display Ultrasonic Fingerprint scanner, Dual SIM plus eSIM, and are IP68 certified.
Samsung Galaxy S21 5G
Do you prefer a compact smartphone without compromising on specs? Then the Galaxy S21 5G is the right choice. With its 6.2-inch flat display, it fits nicely into your hand and pants pocket. Apart from size, this year's smallest model differs from the S21+ 5G only in battery size. Its capacity is 4,000 mAh. The processor and camera are identical in both versions.
