In contrast, the Pixel 5’s 6-inch OLED display has a slightly higher resolution at 2340 x 1080 pixels, with a 90Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support. With 1,200 nits of brightness and more saturation than the Pixel 5, the screen is incredibly bright, crisp, and colorful on the S21, whether you’re playing the latest games or watching videos. This adjusts automatically depending on what tasks you’re doing - faster if you’re scrolling the web or gaming, slower while looking at still photos - conserving battery life.

Speaking of displays, both are impressive indeed with the S21 boasting a 6.2-inch Dynamic AMOLED display with 2400 x 1080 pixels and an adaptive 48Hz to 120Hz refresh rate. For those who find newer phones too big, it may prove the better option of the two. The Pixel 5 wins bonus points for its weight too - at just 151 grams compared to the S21’s 171 grams, it’s compact and lightweight. There’s no premium feel here, although some may prefer the textured aluminum chassis which does feel good in your hand - and the Sorta Sage color injects character into what’s an otherwise fairly unremarkable design. In comparison, the Pixel 5’s design feels understated and, dare we say, even a little dated. Unlike the other phones in the range, the S21 has a plastic back - “glasstic” as Samsung calls it - which, although it’s lighter and more resistant to damage than glass, might seem absurd to some, given you’re shelling out $800. However, camera pod aside, the design is very similar to the S20. This is especially gorgeous on the Phantom Violet models, with its differently colored camera module. The Galaxy S21is a good-looking device, with a near bezel-less front and punch-hole selfie camera, and the rear camera pod almost totally integrated into the frame.
