This is a massive upgrade from the S21 Ultra. The overall performance is excellent, and the lightweight build is a big plus. I really like the square design-it feels modern and comfortable to use. The rear camera is an absolute beast; nothing comes close to it.
The only downside I’ve noticed is the front camera, especially during WhatsApp video calls. The S21 Ultra still performs better in that area, with sharper, higher-resolution selfies and video quality. Aside from this front camera downgrade, I’d rate the phone very highly.
I was disappointed that s pen doesn't control the camera features
