Are these the same phone?

Yes. Both are the Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G: 6.7-inch 2400x1080 OLED, 8GB RAM base, 128GB base storage, 8K video and wireless charging. The difference is condition and options, not the model.

Which is better for gaming?

The ElectronicsForce listing if you pick the 12GB RAM version; more RAM helps with heavy multitasking and large games. At 8GB the two perform the same, since it is the same Exynos 2100 or Snapdragon 888 chip inside.

Is the restored Walmart unit worth it?

Yes if the price gap is meaningful and you can live with possible minor scratches. Walmart says Phonecheck diagnostics confirm full functionality, and buyers report units arriving in like-new shape.

The new ElectronicsForce unit, all else equal, because it has no prior wear and carries an IP68 rating. A restored unit's battery has already been through a previous owner's charge cycles.

Do either include a charger?

No. Walmart includes a charging cable only; ElectronicsForce includes a USB-C to USB-C cable and SIM tool. You need your own USB-C wall adapter for both.

Does either work on all carriers?

The Walmart unit is unlocked for Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T and international networks. ElectronicsForce lists T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, Simple Mobile, Total Wireless and unlocked, plus dual SIM with eSIM.

Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G (Unlocked) vs S21 plus

Both listings are the same phone: the Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G with a 6.7-inch 120Hz OLED screen, 8GB RAM, 128GB storage and 8K video. The Walmart listing is a restored Grade A unit with a charging cable and no wall adapter; the ElectronicsForce listing is a new-style listing with a USB-C cable and SIM tool, and it also lists 256GB and 12GB RAM variants. Buy the Walmart restored unit if you want the lowest price on a working S21+; buy the ElectronicsForce listing if you want a sealed unit or the 256GB/12GB option. Check the current price at each store before deciding, since neither page gave a price here.
