The Galaxy S21 series is faster for two reasons: it marks the debut of brand-new chipsets, and the software has been streamlined just a bit, with the ever-evolving OneUI 3.0 interface tied into Android 11. Video is the highest resolution video available in a smartphone that’s four times as many pixels as 4K. Record in 8K 24fps and get crisp footage that looks better than the cinema, then upload and watch right on YouTube. And with 8K Video Snap, you can pull epic high-resolution photos straight from 8K video. So, you don’t have to choose between shooting video or still. With up to 16GB RAM, 512GB of storage, a 120Hz WQHD+ display and a 108-megapixel camera, this is Samsung’s no-compromise attempt at delivering the best Android phone ever. The Galaxy S21 Ultra is also available through UK and US network vendors, if you don’t wish to buy the handset outright and prefer to pay in instalments.

Display - Superb display, very bright, Netflix and prime plays amazing. Holster video is a bit weird though I’d certainly say that the Galaxy S21 Ultra is up there with the best when it comes to design too, although you really need to appreciate big phones to enjoy using this beast. It weighs 228g, which is the same weight as the iPhone 12 Pro Max – and it will only get heftier upon adding a case. Model Part of the reason the S21 Ultra seems snappy is the fact that Samsung has further streamlined its software interface. With the OneUI 3.0 interface, menus now throw fewer unnecessary windows in your face before executing what you want to do. Turning on power save mode, for example, makes adjustments immediately. We also tested the screen brightness of the Galaxy S20 Ultra outdoors, and it automatically amps up to a super-bright 1,500 nits when necessary. Other phones with AMOLED screens, including the S21 and S21 Plus, max out at 1,200 nits, and every little bit helps in direct sunlight.

The 6.8-inch, Dynamic AMOLED display with QHD+ resolution (1.440 x 3.200) is certainly a sight to behold. It has vibrant colours, very high peak brightness, high pixel-per-inch count and a super-smooth refresh rate at 120 Hz. The refresh rate especially makes a massive difference in how responsive the device feels. Combined with the Exynos 2100 chip that powers the device, navigating the UI is just a breeze. The content on display is super sharp too. The 515-PPI display is perfect for high-res multimedia consumption. The Advanced Camera System Taking the phone out of the box, it’s immediately obvious that two notable areas Samsung has made improvements – compared to the older S20 Ultra – relate to the S21’s screen and design. While neither were particularly poor, the bevvy of big and small changes add up to make this year’s device the one Samsung really should have launched last year when it first introduced the ‘Ultra’ branding. No charger in the box, if you are paying around 95k for a phone(after the bank offer you would expect charger, though you can use the coupon that you get from samsung shop to get a combo of ear buds and charger for 990 rs ) Bloatware and ads - lots of ads coming on the device. Need to turn them off manually. On such a premium phone i feel company should not look to earn from ads that is, or may reasonably be considered to be, defamatory, libelous, hateful, racially or religiously biased or offensive, unlawfully threatening or unlawfully harassing to any person or entity;

Network: 5G network availability may vary depending on the country, network provider and user environment. In more practical scenarios, this level of brightness removes the risk of any issues with outdoor visibility, even in very sunny conditions. I never struggled to read the screen, even when using it in direct sunlight. ul>

The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra phone stands as the most technologically advanced model in the new flagship line-up. Let content refresh according to the viewing needs on the display. It goes high when needed and as low as possible when not in use. This thus helps conserve power. And with 1440 x 3200 pixels, the clarity of the content is amazing.
