The latest Samsung Galaxy S21 smartphone is great for busy mums who need to stay connected and one step ahead. For one, it sports a brilliantly sharp 6.2-inch screen and a powerful 2.9GHz octa-core processor to handle multiple apps with ease. It also comes with a 4,000mAh battery that keeps it powered 24 hours.

Capturing those precious moments is a treat too, thanks to its triple camera setup that covers all angle, whether it is wide, ultra-wide or telephoto. The 256GB of internal storage is enough to store all your photos, videos and apps.

Even better is the inclusion of Samsung’s Bixby voice assistant that allows you to get certain tasks done without lifting a finger, literally. For instance, start the day by asking Bixby to read out loud your schedule of the day and messages. To help you stay motivated, just ask Bixby to play your morning power music playlist.
