Galaxy S21 Ultra review: Nailed it

The Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G had one job: Be better than last year’s Galaxy S20 Ultra. The Galaxy S21 Ultra, while just as bold, is a refined second take on the Ultra concept. There is still the 100 times “space zoom.” But it’s easier to use. There is still the “big for sake of being big” design, but it looks much more appealing. And there is still a high price, but at $1,200 it costs $200 less than the S20 Ultra.

I pre-ordered the 512gb/16gb in Phantom Black. This will be my first Samsung Galaxy phone!

Watching this video in 1440p on a 1440p Samsung tablet is joyful.

At $500 with a trade in, plus all the extras, I can't wait for my phantom black one to arrive

Yes I pre ordered and I can't wait to get it and all the freebies they gave me with it.

I got the s7 edge for such a long time and i finally decided to upgrade to s21 ultra 512gig.

I want that S21 Ultra camera setup on my iPhone 11 so bad! Love having the ultra-wide and the wide on mine, but that zoom is just amazing!

I have preordered the S21 Ultra. I'm doing an upgrade from my Galaxy 10+ to this phone and what excites me most is 5G and performance in streaming. The camera was already good enough on my 10+ but I'll welcome the upgraded camera specs on this one with open arms.

I remember using the S4 or the S5 were can recording from both cameras front and rear same time ... I glad Samsung bring back this mode ..

Why da heck would they remove the micro sd card?

[FreddietheFly]

Yes, I have pre-ordered the S21 Ultra. Come with the Galaxy Buds Pro and a Galaxy SmartTag. Looking forward to using the cameras.

I pre-ordered day 1. For under $600 I received buds pro, case with stylus, smart tag, and the s21 ultra... Can't turn that deal down

As Vlogger recording both side it might so useful for me, i wish S20 had it too

Pre-ordered the Titanium version with the buds pro, galaxy tag & clear view cover/pen. Now its just a matter of waiting :(

[AlexanderGeorge]

I still have my S10e. It came with a charger in box, it has a headphone jack (I listen to high quality IEMs) and it has a micro SD slot. Plus a great form factor at just 5.8".. I'll keep it, thanks. 👀

I just got a Samsung galaxy s21 ultra phone! It's great! I'm using it to type this right now!

Is the S21 Ultra finally able to record 4K 60 fps video in HDR?
Cause with the S20 series you had to choose between 60 fps and HDR when recording 4K resolution video.

What happened to edge lighting on s21?

[Tymmz]

im so glad you keep reviewing phones...soooo much more authentic and enjoyable to watch. keep up the fantastic work. most other channels (i.e. Verge, MrMobile, MobileTechReview, etc) are either way over the top or too simplistic.

[TheJunyahboy]

Is there a aux cord plug so I connect it to my stereo? How bout sd card ?

[Cleanframe]

Can somebody tell me when they stopped doing numbered ratings for their reviews
