In my words
Straight from the video. Tap a timestamp to hear me say it.
“it is a neat practical package that you can trust”
“their S21 flagships are better and cheaper than last year's phones”
“they don't do anything particularly new or groundbreaking”
“about 20 cheaper than samsung's base s21”
“it's looking like samsung is about to take it to a whole other level with the galaxy s21”
