Leak reveals the exorbitant prices of the Samsung Galaxy S21 series

A new leak has revealed the pricing of the Samsung Galaxy S21 series, and it is a mixed bag. The entry-point into Samsung's flagship smartphones will be lower than last year, but the Galaxy S21 Ultra is more expensive than its predecessor. No expandable storage and a plastic back would make the Galaxy S21 pricey even at €849, though.
