The video comprehensively reviews the Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus, detailing it as the mid-range option within the S21 series. The reviewer highlights the phone's aesthetic appeal with unique features such as a gold trim and premium glass back. It boasts a 6.7-inch 1080p display with a 120Hz refresh rate, which enhances user experience by reducing accidental touches and providing vibrant visuals.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses various features of a new Samsung phone. They begin by explaining how the side key button can be mapped to different functions but defaults to opening Bixby, necessitating a menu navigation to turn off the phone.
