Samsung’s Galaxy S21 range flagship phones are now on sale, following a 14 January launch.
Mirroring last year’s line-up, the S21 range includes three 5G phones: the S21, S21+ and S21 Ultra – while a midrange S21 FE is also expected to join the range later this year.
The phones launched alongside the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro (RRP £219) and the SmartTag Bluetooth tracker (RRP £30). While the pre-order offer that bundled the accessories with the Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G, and the Galaxy Buds Live (RRP £179) with the S21 and S21+ has now ended, customers can now pick up a free pair of Galaxy Buds Live with the purchase of any S21 phone. The offer ends 25 February and you’ll need to claim within 30 days of purchase.
