An amazing phone with great performance and excellent cameras. The Galaxy S21 Ultra is super fast, with smooth animations and packed to the gills with all the latest bleeding edge technology Samsung has to offer. The display on this phone is nothing short of amazing!
The 120Hz AMOLED screen's high refresh rate, coupled with it's 1440p "QHD" resolution and High Dynamic Range (HDR) colors, makes everything appear as close to real life as possible. It's like looking at the world through a crystal clean window. This display is also great for watching movies thanks to is wide-screen 20:9 aspect ratio.
This is a true "flagship phone" made by Samsung. The CPU and GPU in this phone, can handle any game you throw at it very well, thanks to the "Snapdragon 888" SoC that powers the S21 Ultra.
And the S21 Ultra camera's are clean, bright, focused and sharp 99% of the time, under most everyday lighting conditions. And this is thanks to improved AI and 1x ~ 10x optical lenses, which is a superior way of zooming compared to just digital Zoom, which most smartphones rely on. The selfie camera also is sharp, focused, bright and very clean and detailed. So thats a big plus!
The S21 Ultra also uses a larger image sensor that has a native 108Mp resolution. By using a 9 to 1 pixel binning technique, this allows the main camera to create sharper, brighter 12Mp photos, by capturing more ambient light in the surrounding environment.
So all in all, a great top of the line phone. The only thing that I wish it had, was a small insert to hold the optional S-Pen just like on the Galaxy Note line of phones.
But otherwise I cannot complain. Battery life seems good and the phone fits well in the hand.
The S21 Ultra is a beast, the weight was a little shocking at first but you get used to it. Amazing cameras, great photo options, speedy processor, the touchscreen is silky, the screen is crisp, and I'm looking forward to working on this device for the next couple years.
