One of the places I love to frequent regularly is the Kuala Lumpur Lake Gardens or Perdana Botanical Gardens, a perfect place to escape from the city.

This time, I’ve taken the opportunity to bring the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G smartphone to do some smartphone photography here.

To most people’s surprise, they never knew that our KL Lake Gardens was actually gorgeous until they saw my photos on social media.

First, a little history about this beautiful place: This massive garden measures 91.6 hectares, or 916,000 square meters. It was Alfred Venning’s brainchild and officially opened on 13 May 1889.
The Perdana Botanical Gardens has undergone numerous names over the last century, and they are;
1889 – Public Gardens
1900 – Lake Gardens
1975 – Taman Tasik Perdana
2011 – Perdana Botanical Gardens
This place also serves as one of the popular tourist destinations of Kuala Lumpur, and some of the tourist attractions located here are;
  • National Monument
  • Deer Park
  • Herbarium
  • Hibiscus Garden
  • Orchid Garden
  • Sunken Garden
  • Kuala Lumpur Bird Park
  • Kuala Lumpur Butterfly Park
  • National Mosque
  • Islamic Museum
The Samsung Galaxy S21 5G, which I used for my photography here, is one of the latest models from the S series for 2021 and was launched in Malaysia in mid-January 2021.
You should also know that there are three S21s in the market right now: the S21 Ultra 5G, S21+ 5G, and this one I am reviewing, the S21 5G.
The Samsung development team has continuously evolved photography technology over the last few years, and it seems to improve with each new model.
As I am still using the Galaxy S10 Plus, I occasionally test out some of Samsung’s newer models, and the main thing I always look into is the smartphone’s photography.

Not to confuse the S21 Ultra 5G, this unit is much smaller and one notch lower than the other two Ultra and series. Therefore, the price is also way lower.

Galaxy S21 5G Camera Specifications

Are you ready for the technical jargon or nerd talk about the cameras on the S21 5G? If you are into this kind of number and word, check out the smartphone’s camera system.

Primary Camera—It uses a 1/1.76″ sensor with 1.8µm individual pixels, 12 million of them. In front of it is a 26mm equivalent focal length lens with an f/1.8 aperture, which features optical image stabilization, something everyone relies on.

The Ultra-wide Camera – The 5G models only have fixed focus, and only the S21 Ultra has an autofocusing ultra-wide camera. The lens has a field of view of 120 degrees and an f/2.2 aperture, while the size of the 12MP sensor is 1/2.55″, with 1.4µm pixels.

A comparison of the three S21 models: Left is Ultra 5G, the middle is S21 5G, and right is S21 Plus 5G.

Third camera or Telephoto Lens—This one has a slightly longer lens than the main module, around 29mm equivalent. Its 64MP sensor is used for hybrid zoom action with ‘lossless’ results up to the default 3x magnification level. This one, too, has a stabilized lens; its aperture is listed at f/2.0. Now, this is very impressive.

Selfie Camera: It relies on a 10MP 1/3.24″ sensor with 1.22µm pixels coupled to an autofocusing lens with a 26mm equivalent focal length and f/2.2 aperture.

Where to Buy the Galaxy S21 5G in Malaysia? 

Of course, the best place to get this is Samsung Malaysia. If you have a deal with your local telco company, you could probably get one from them with a great promotion.

Conclusion

If you are starting to get the hang of smartphone photography, you can also read my other smartphone reviews of various models. Each highlights photography, and the best part is that they are not technical reviews.

You can also read my Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G photography review earlier in 2021 as I visited Batu Caves in Selangor for this. Overall, since the dawn of smartphone photography and how fast it has advanced in the last five years, you will be seeing more reviews from me on different models.

I trust you have seen the Kuala Lumpur Lake Gardens smartphone photography pictures here, and you should have a rough idea of what is achievable with today’s phones.
