Samsung just slashed Galaxy S21 prices at Amazon, taking up to $250 off

By Andrew Martonik Published February 22, 2021

Samsung has just slashed prices for its Galaxy S21 series on Amazon as part of a “Samsung Week on Amazon” promotion that runs now through February 28. The Galaxy S21, S21+, and S21 Ultra are $100 to $250 off their launch prices. Considering they’re just a month old, this deal is incredible.

The base

Galaxy S21 is marked down to $699

, which is fantastic. That’s just $100 more than

the Galaxy S20 FE

right now, which is discounted itself.

The

Galaxy S21+ is now just $799

, another incredible deal. At this price, it’s a pretty easy choice to get the plus variant for its larger screen, longer battery life, and glass back.

The top-end

Galaxy S21 Ultra is only $999

now, making it much more attainable. It was already my favorite Android phone at its original $1,200 price, and this really seals the deal if you can pick one up at a discount.

Here’s the best part: Whether on purpose or accident, Samsung’s actually discounting the higher-storage variants of all three phones even more, completely covering the price difference in the models. That means you can pick up a 256GB model for the exact same discounted price as a base 128GB model. Those who lament the loss of the SD card slot may turn their heads when they can get double the storage for the same price.

Samsung’s running this discount, throughout the week, but I wouldn’t delay … stock may get impacted quickly with these deep cuts. Samsung says it’ll have further discounts on TVs, soundbars, monitors, and audio accessories this week as well, so keep your eyes on

The base model Galaxy S25 will get a RAM upgrade we’ve waited years for

Back in November, we heard rumors that the Samsung Galaxy S25 might come with an upgraded amount of RAM compared to the base Galaxy S24. The Galaxy S24 Plus and S24 Ultra both start with 12GB of RAM minimum, but until now, the majority of base-model Samsung handsets only had 8GB.

Abhishek Yadav, a known leaker, shared a post on X that said the base storage variant of the Galaxy S25 would come with 12GB of RAM. This also implies that the base storage is likely to be 256GB too. As apps, operating systems, and integrated AI become more powerful, so do their technical requirements. A bump to the base amount of RAM and storage will yield improved performance (hopefully) without a significant cost increase.

A new leak teases how thin the Galaxy S25 Slim will be — and it’s impressive

The Samsung Galaxy S25 "Slim" has been part of the rumor mill for a while now. If you've missed it, here's what you need to know: It almost certainly does exist, and it's expected to launch sometime during the middle of 2025, instead of next month like the rest of the Galaxy S25 lineup. And now, we have a better idea of just how thin this phone might actually be.

Well-known tipster Ice Universe shared the information on Weibo, stating that its thickness "may be 6.x mm." In other words, the leaker isn't sure of the exact thickness, but expects it to fall between 6mm and 6.9mm.

New renders provide a clear look at the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and S25 Plus

Samsung has taken steps in the past to handle leaks, but that hasn't slowed the flow of information this year. The Samsung Galaxy S25 lineup barely has any secrets left given all the information we've seen emerge over the past several months, but now we have mostly clear renders of the Galaxy S25 Plus and Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Tipster Evan Blass shared the renders on X, and the images show the differences in design between the flagship devices. The Galaxy S25 Plus has corners with a more distinct curve, while the Galaxy S25 Ultra has more angular corners.
