Bigger 5G phone for everyday use

The Samsung Galaxy S21+ Plus 5G G996U is a fully unlocked Android 12 handset built for people who want a larger screen and 5G connectivity without a carrier contract. Its 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED display runs at 120 Hz and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 6. The Snapdragon 888 processor handles daily tasks, gaming and multitasking on the 128 GB storage option.

128 GB storage and 4800 mAh battery headroom

The 128 GB capacity holds a large photo library, apps and offline media before cloud offload becomes necessary. The 4800 mAh battery supports a full day of mixed 5G and Wi-Fi use, though heavy 120 Hz gaming or continuous 30× zoom camera sessions will drain it faster. No micro-SD expansion means storage cannot be increased later.

UL power adapter and cable included

A UL-approved power adapter and charging cable are supplied so the phone can be charged immediately out of the box. The original retail packaging, headphones, SIM card and printed manual are not included. Buyers who want wired audio or a physical manual will need to source those separately.

Questions about this item

Will the Snapdragon 888 processor work smoothly with my existing 4G LTE SIM and accessories?

Yes, the phone supports LTE-A Cat20 with speeds up to 2000/200 Mbps and is compatible with major GSM carriers, so your current SIM and 4G accessories will function normally.

How can I verify the 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED display is running at its 120Hz adaptive refresh rate after setup?

Open Settings, tap Display, then Motion smoothness; select Adaptive to enable the 120Hz mode and confirm the screen responds fluidly when scrolling.

Does the box include a charger, headphones or a SIM eject tool, or must I buy them separately?

A UL-approved power adapter and charging cable are included; headphones, a SIM card and the manual are not supplied, so you will need to provide those yourself.
