This is why the Samsung S21 is a great smartphone for film and photography enthusiasts

Can you remember the first pictures you took on a cell phone? Can you imagine ever having a cell phone without a camera? The first smartphone with a camera dates from the year 2000. Before the turn of the millennium, no one was ever able to take a picture with a mobile phone! The first smartphone with a camera was the Sharp J-SH04. It was marketed in Japan and had a 0.11 megapixel camera. Quite different from the Samsung Galaxy S21 that is currently conquering the market!

History of Samsung Galaxy S Series
A lot has changed in the field of mobile photography over the years. Where you used to take photos purely for yourself, in 2022 you can send photos à la second to anyone you want, anywhere in the world. From super grainy photos to award-winning masterpieces! There are even photographers who only use their smartphones to take pictures! Samsung only entered the smartphone market in 2010. The brand could not lag behind big names such as Apple and therefore came up with the Samsung Galaxy S in 2010.

What does the Samsung S21 have to offer videographers and photographers?
Jump to 2021, in which the Samsung Galaxy S21 came on the market. Over the years, Samsung’s S-series has developed extremely well. The Samsung Galaxy S21, successor to the Samsung Galaxy S20, has a lot to offer the hobby photographer. The camera capabilities of this device are great. The most remarkable thing about this device is that it has a new function, which allows you to film both in front of and behind your device at the same time. This feature is called Director View and can be very useful for example for vloggers (or camjo journalists) who want to have their own reaction on camera, as well as show what is happening in front of them on the street. Other possibilities of the Samsung Galaxy S21 are the Single Take, with which you can take 14 photos at the same time with one click. And take a screenshot from a video you made yourself? No problem with Video Snap. With this function, you can cut it out of your video in no time, in a resolution of 33 megapixels. Now think back to that Sharp J-SH04 with 0.11 megapixels…

Just for the gadget freaks among us: the device has a dynamix AMOLED 2x screen of 6.2 inches. So razor-sharp, and thanks to the refresh rate of 120 Hz, you can watch your videos very smoothly. By default, the S21 has a storage space of 128 GB, but you can also purchase this device with 256 GB. Your choice.
Very handy is the fact that the screen is very strong due to the GG7 Gorilla Glass Victur. The chance of scratches or cracks is therefore not very great.

What else does the S21 have to offer?
Of course, the Samsung Galaxy S21 supports fast 5G internet. A nice gadget that you actually want to have with your phone anyway is the Galaxy SmartTag. This allows you to link your phone to your key ring and your wallet. That way you will never lose it again. You can of course also connect the SmartTag to other items that you do not want to lose.
Even more smart is that you can connect your phone to many more useful things in the house, such as your television. Using Motion Mirror, you can turn your home into a gym, and your movements will simply be shown on television. Without others watching, of course! Do you have more smart equipment at home? You can also easily connect it to your phone. For example, you can close the blinds in your living room or turn on the radio with the push of a button. Your telephone as a remote control of your living life, that’s how you could see it.

The eye wants something too
But what does the Galaxy S21 actually look like? It just depends on what you want, because they are available in pink, purple, white and grey. And don’t those colors appeal to you at all? Then you just buy a case for your smartphone.
