Short answer: the Samsung Galaxy S21+ launched at $999 in 2021. Today a brand-new S21+ 5G (8GB + 128GB) costs just GH₵2,850 at Simcel Online. That’s a flagship that once cost a premium price, now at a mid-range price.
Samsung S21+ Cost: Then vs Now
| Price | |
|---|---|
| Launch price (January 2021, USA) | $999 |
| Simcel Online, brand new (November 2026) | GH₵2,850 |
When it launched, the S21+ sat at the top of Samsung’s range, priced alongside the best phones in the world. Five years later, the same hardware costs a fraction of that.
Why the S21+ Costs So Much Less Now
- Newer models are out. Samsung has released the S22 through the S26, so older flagships come down in price.
- Software support has ended. Samsung’s official updates for the S21 series finished in early 2026, which lowers its price. The hardware is just as good as it was.
Prices dropped, but the screen, cameras and build quality didn’t. That’s what makes it such good value.
