In a direct comparison with the S21+, there is a lot to be said for the cheaper S21 without Plus, because apart from the smaller display, it is on a par with its big sister.

This may be partly due to the charger, which is no longer included. But buyers also have to weigh the lower price against the lower features in some cases, such as the lack of a memory expansion option...
