Reviews for the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra
The Galaxy S21 Ultra is the king among kings within Samsung's new high-end flagship series. It features the largest and brightest display with the highest resolution, the largest battery, and the most versatile camera. However, Europeans are once again served a model with Samsung's own in-house Exynos SoC, albeit an allegedly improved version thereof. Let's find out how well this combination does, shall we?
Xiaomi's Mi 11 relies on a camera sensor from Samsung. In this camera comparison with Samsung's Galaxy S21 Ultra, Galaxy Note20 Ultra and Galaxy S20 FE 5G, we will find out whether the Chinese are even better at this than the manufacturer itself.

For most buyers, the Galaxy S21 Ultra will be too much phone for too much money. Like the iPhone 12 Pro Max, it’s very big and heavy, and it will set you back a bundle of dough. If you’re the least bit cautious about what your spend, this isn’t the phone for you, and the $800 S21 is the way to go. But if you have a bigger budget, the S21 Ultra represents the best—the best of Samsung, the most powerful telephoto camera, and the best of everything Android has to offer at any price. It’s also $200 cheaper than the S20 Ultra, and the corners Samsung cut to get there didn’t sacrifice too much of what makes it an ultra-premium phone. While the microSD slot and MST might seem like meaningful losses, the things you’re gaining more than make up for it.

All in all, although this generation hasn’t been perfectly executed, and I still have mixed feelings about the displays on the S21 and S21+, it’s generally a much better and well rounded line-up than last year, especially with the new more attractive pricing.

At a glance, Samsung has made one of its better Galaxy S launches in recent years with the Samsung Galaxy S21 series. They put the phones out early, yet managed to deliver a powerful and beautiful trio. Each device - be it the regular, plus, or Ultra variant - were stylish in their ways, and cater very well towards everyday use.

Straight up, if you’ve purchased Samsung devices in the past and want another one, you should buy the Galaxy S21 Ultra. It’s a fantastic device that I have zero complaints about. Now, does that means I will personally keep using it? Heck no, it’s way too big for me, but I can admit that it’s 1000x the phone my Pixel 5 is and it’s not even close. Yes, it’s quite a bit more expensive than the Pixel 5, but that price is getting you a phone that does everything well. It has the excellent battery life, great cameras, amazing performance, plus major Android software support for the next three years.

This is a long review, longer than I usually write. The reason is: the Galaxy S21 Ultra is an important phone. And another reason is that it is also a phone packed with goodness, and at the same time some of this baffling stuff that holds it back. There are a number of headlining features in it, but when used they come across as mostly marketing talk. So, what is the final word on the Galaxy S21 Ultra: It is a fine phone and people using it will not regret it. But then you can get similar performance, even the camera performance in aspects that matter, with a phone that costs half of what the S21 Ultra does.

The Galaxy S21 Ultra is the closest Samsung has come to making a perfect flagship in recent years. In fact, when you judge it based on what Samsung says the phone can do, I would say the S21 Ultra is perfect. But one cannot ignore that Samsung has taken away a couple of features that made its flagships unique all these years, namely the microSD slot and MST payments over Samsung Pay, and that makes the Galaxy S21 Ultra less awesome than it could have been.

All this is to say that while the Galaxy S20 Ultra was indeed very impressive at launch, Samsung's other premium handsets tend to be cheaper with fewer of the S20 Ultra's more frivolous bells and whistles, or of a similar price with more impressive specs and features. Once upon a time, the S20 Ultra was indeed the king, but those times have changed.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is definitely recommended for those of you who have been using flagships from three generations ago and don’t mind the six-figure pricing. Those with the S20 / Note 20 Ultras need not bother - the S21 Ultra isn’t an earth-shattering upgrade.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is one of the best smartphones you can get today, and it’s definitely a great way to kickstart the new year. The new Exynos 2100 shows some solid performance here, it’s noticeably more efficient than the Exynos 990 SoC, the large screen is fantastic, camera works great, it’s a lot easier to take zoomed in photos, the adaptive refresh rate is a touch better than the other Samsung Galaxy devices, it has S Pen support, battery life is good, it’s an attractive device, the matte finish is a good change, and the under-display fingerprint scanner works better.

The Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G, unveiled alongside Samsung's Galaxy S21 and S21 Plus phones, proves that sometimes you have to do something twice to get it right. While just as bold as last year's Galaxy S20 Ultra, the S21 Ultra is a refined second take on the Ultra concept. There's still the 100x Space Zoom, but it's easier to use. There is still the "big for the sake of being big" design, but it looks much more appealing.

The latest big-screen Galaxy has futureproof 5G and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity, but no microSD card slot. Samsung hasn't skipped this feature in a Galaxy S product since since 2015, but I didn't find its lack concerning. The phone comes with abundant storage even in entry-level guise — 128GB is enough for most consumers.

The clear flagship in the S21 family - and a better performer than the smaller S21 and S21+ models, thanks to its better cameras - the Ultra is the pick for those who want all the best that Samsung offers. Its great display, stacks of power and performance, is only tempered slightly by battery life that's quick to drain when put under pressure.

The Galaxy S21 Ultra is an all-purpose premium smartphone that brings the best of both worlds — Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series. It is a premium Android smartphone like no other. Its novel and bold design, exceptional display, top-notch imaging, sleek performance and productivity-centric value-added features justify the ‘Ultra’ moniker, and thus the phone’s premium pricing. Go for it if the price is not a deal-breaker for; there is no other Android smartphone yet that offers a similar experience.

While it sounds like a lot of praise for the current batch of Galaxy S phones by Samsung, we're also not blind to the missteps that came with the Galaxy S21 series. If you ask us, the Koreans should've kept microSD compatibility instead of removing it, and bring back 1440p on to the S21 and S21+ for the people who actually know how to use them. The real shame is the removal of a charging adapter. Indeed, Samsung could've found it in them to at least give a universal fast-charging adapter, considering the sticker prices of these premium devices.

For a long time, Samsung's Galaxy S flagships in any given generation were mainly differentiated by display and battery size, with the ‘plus' models benefiting more. This changed last year when Samsung introduced a third ‘Ultra' model with a focus on cameras. This year, Samsung is trying to create an even larger gap between its models. The Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G continues to be the hero product, but the Galaxy S21+ 5G and Galaxy S21 5G now have lower-resolution (full-HD+) displays, and the latter even ditches the glass back for plastic. Samsung did something similar with the Galaxy Note 20 series last year, with the Ultra model getting a premium treatment, while the standard model had to live with big compromises.

The S21 is far from an overhaul of its predecessor, and certainly not a reason for S20 owners to upgrade, but Android fans with older handsets looking for an all-new shiny device can’t go far wrong here – especially if camera performance and value are high on their priority list. Either of the Sony Xperias are better bets for those who place greater importance on music listening, so that’s one area we would hope Samsung advances for the next generation of Galaxy S phone. For now, though, the line’s reputation as one of the market’s best all-rounders remains intact.

We know that some of you may have your eyebrows raised over the fact that we’re getting the Exynos version of the device and it understandably stings when the Ultra comes at a steep price tag but our experience with the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G has generally been — and we’re going to borrow marketing buzzwords from Samsung here — pretty epic. It has its strengths and it definitely has its weaknesses but with each iteration of the S series, this feels like the biggest leap we’ve seen and we’re glad to see that Samsung keeps addressing the flaws from the previous generation.

Samsung has stripped back some parts of the Galaxy S21 range for 2021, but the Galaxy S21 Ultra gets away with just one: there’s no charger in the box, just like the Apple iPhone 12 series. Sure, we get a Samsung processor in the UK, not the Snapdragon we’d rather have, but it’s a bit easier on the battery this time around and has enough power to keep us smiling. There’s only one killer reason to buy this particular phone, though. The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra’s camera is crazy good. It’s probably the most versatile phone camera for stills we’ve ever used. The draw isn’t raw image quality, which doesn’t take any major leaps forward, but how this mobile doesn’t mind if your subject is 3cm away or 300m. You might not be able to get close to the action at the moment thanks to this bloody virus, but with the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, you stoll still can.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G is definitely feature-packed, however it has also lost a few things along the way. There's no provision for adding a microSD card anymore, so the internal storage cannot be expanded.

It's early days with the phone, but already I'm impressed at the shots I've been able to get, with excellent dynamic range and accurate colors on most of the images I've taken. The zoom is the standout feature here, but it's only impressive up to a point. I love some of the shots I've taken at 10x zoom, but even then the details are quite rough. Going beyond 10x reduces it a huge amount and I still think the 100x Space Zoom is pointless -- I'd have preferred Samsung spend its time making the 10x zoom look even better.

Fifteen years ago, when a then-nascent Samsung wanted to upset the status quo, it launched a family of phones bearing the brand name Ultra. Those being the days when form factors were in flux (and phones were more fun) maybe it’s no surprise that Samsung’s 2020 resurrection of the designation fell a little flat. To me, last year’s Galaxy S20 Ultra was too big, too boring, and too blurry … with a camera system whose focus issues wouldn’t be corrected until the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra hit the scene last summer.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is the phone that the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra should of been. Last year's phone was a massively powerful handset that, in some areas, was coarse around the edges – and as such fell from grace in terms of receiving a perfect score. The S21 Ultra, though, while not perfect, builds on and refines what was there last year, as well as offering functionality that up until now has been the preserve of the Galaxy Note series alone. It's still a very expensive flagship, and certainly not for everyone, but now it's one with less flaws and more overall usage potential.

With that in mind, the Ultra absolutely shines this year, not because of game-changing updates, but because it addresses basically all the problems we saw in last year’s model. This level of competence on display here counts for a lot more than ambitious, half-baked features. Best of all, it’s less expensive than the model it replaces. With all that in mind, the Galaxy S21 is definitely worth the splurge for power users and camera fanatics, though I’d recommend waiting a while before buying one. Samsung is notorious for its aggressive deals and promotions even shortly after a device’s launch. So in this case — as in many others — your patience may be rewarded.

Of course, the challenge is that the even more affordable versions of the Galaxy S21 family skip those gimmicks too: I still think 2021’s pick of Samsung’s new flagships is likely to be one of the Ultra’s cheaper siblings, even as it makes its case for the Android fan who wants it all. Beyond that, it feels like the Galaxy S21 Ultra brings us to a cleft in the road. For four-figure smartphones to truly earn a place in our pocket, they’re going to need to be revolutionary rather than evolutionary, and recipe refinement alone is no longer enough.

For such feature-packed phones, it's tough to form an early impression. But we do feel like it's a step forward for the Ultra and a side step for the other two in the family. Sure, the S21 and the S21+ both received a significant price reduction to be in line with the absence of some features and even the downgrades, but it still feels it's not enough. In a couple of months, the Galaxy S21 will be an excellent compact flagship at a lucrative price, while the Plus model will touch the Ultra size at a more manageable price as well.

Hey there, the world's most specc'd-out camera phone, Galaxy S21 Ultra! When Samsung announced your predecessor with a 108MP camera sensor, 5x periscope zoom and 5000mAh battery, we thought this can't be beat!

Sure, that’s partly because the gap between its less expensive siblings has seemingly widened, but the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G also has a 10x optical zoom that, a weekend in, we can’t quite fathom. How do you fit a 10x lens into a phone? Samsung has done it, apparently.

The Galaxy S21 Ultra is the first flagship smartphone of 2021 and it’s definitely going to be the one to beat. Samsung has packed impressive tech inside this slab of metal and glass. It has made some much needed refinements to camera and software. On paper, it seems like there will be little to complain about with this device.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra has all the makings of becoming the best Android phone around, at least for those willing to pay a premium. And it's good to see that Samsung has dropped the price by $200 vs the S20 Ultra. The biggest reasons to be excited about this phone are the dual zoom cameras and the fantastic 6.8-inch OLED display that gives you 120Hz and full quad HD resolution at the same time.

Since it was a hands-on before the official launch, we had limited time and space to explore the Galaxy S21 series with. We used the time to better understand Director's View, a new feature joining Samsung's already pro-grade series of cameras and camera functionalities. In a nutshell, Director's View is a unique live-editing feature for video recording. It has three main components. There's a key video feed that takes up most of the recording and a picture-in-picture feed of the opposing, user-facing camera. Three other video feeds on the right allow the user to preview the look and feel coming from Samsung's other rear lenses running in real-time (called Live Thumbnail). Tapping on any of the three feeds would swap the main feed out for the other. In a completed recording, you actually do not see any of previews from other lenses - only the picture-in-picture feed and the main, world-facing footage remains.

Lisa Gade does a first look at the new Samsung Galaxy S21 and the S21 Ultra, 2 of 3 flagship Galaxy Android smartphones releasing in January 2021. The prices are $200 less than last year’s S20 family of phones, and there are again 3 sizes to choose from: the 6.2” S21, 6.7” S21+ and the 6.8” S21 Ultra. The phones sport a new design with a matte back, and run Android 11 with One UI 3.0 on the Snapdragon 888 in the US (Exynos 2100 is several other countries). The S21 Ultra supports the S Pen and has significantly improved cameras compared to the S20 Ultra. Our full review will come later, as will our review of the new Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro wireless ANC earbuds.

Not everyone is keen on huge smartphones. The industry took an unexpected turn last year with the Pixel 5 regeared for the middle of the market and there are plenty of reasons to go small. The S21 Ultra is heavy, cumbersome and a big strain on pockets - and thanks to its £1,149 price tag, we mean that both literally and financially.
