I am one of those folks that tends to take sometime to upgrade things. But I have been a long-time Samsung follower since my first Samsung smart phone from 2011. I have been holding on to my Samsung S9+ for years and realized that it was time to upgrade. Typically Samsung comes out with new devices, often. So I waited but when I saw the S21 Ultra, I knew I has to make a move.
So far, I love it! Like most quality Samsung model classes; the ultra feels great in my hand... though it took me awhile to get used to the screen being where the finger lock is and the giant fly eye cameras in the back. But once I got used to the feel, I have found that I am excited about using the phone, again. And taking lots of pictures!
The pictures are amazing! And the apps, as of now, run smoothly. It's much easier to play games on it, too. If you are looking for something new and of quality, this has to be the best camera phone in the market.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello Lamichel, thank you for taking time out of your day to leave us this positive review. We appreciate you being part of the Samsung family. ^Elizabeth
Went from a OnePlus 8 Pro to the S21 ultra, overall I'm happy with the performance and screen. The battery life was a little worse than I expected but overall still very good. It has a weird quirk where when the phone is "moving" basically while you're walking, it will try to keep the cameras from moving so you don't hear it rattle. This in turn causes the battery to drain. If this was fixed then I'd be extremely happy.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have had this phone since it came out and would be lost without it. I literally use it for everything and it never leaves my hand. This phone is fast and powerful enough for me to do anything I need.

Hello Jared, that's great to hear! Thank you for choosing Samsung. ^Elizabeth
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy S10 to this and I love it. The screen is bigger and the phone is faster. It has a great battery life and options to help you save battery. The camera is great, you can film in 4k, even 8k.
I bought this at launch, because I read reviews from tech sites talking about the camera, and I knew it had the newer 5G modem in it. And it does not disappoint. With the original telephoto lens on the note 20, there was a lot of shakiness when zoomed in past 30x. On the s21 ultra, I can zoom in all the way, and while there is some instability, which is to be expected being zoomed in so far, the AI assisted balancing works a lot better for getting those zoomed in photos at a clear resolution. I have not been disappointed with the camera at all. And the 5G improvements made in the modem are extremely noticeable. Much better reception with it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had for a couple months and love all features. I also purchased the pen which is awesome. Can't go wrong with the Ultra 21.
