The Galaxy S21 range is Samsung’s flagship offering for 2021 and includes NFC.

The company has, however, dropped support for its magnetic secure transmission (MST) technology — a payment technology that emulates magnetic stripe cards — from the device in the US.

The S21 Plus and S21 Ultra both also include ultra wideband chips.

The Galaxy S21 has a 6.2-inch screen, while the S21 Plus has a larger 6.7-inch display. The range-topping S21 Ultra is endowed with a 108 megapixel camera and an even larger 6.8-inch 3200 by 1440 oled display.

The Galaxy S21 range was launched on 14 January 2021.
