This is the best review I have found yet. And thanks for the timelines in the video. Seems like a lot of reviewers are Apple fanatics and are not even reviewing the phone properly
I agree, i hate when IPHONE USERS, review Samsung and other android phones, they find one thing they don't like, then they destroy the phone with NEGATIVITY on purpose.
sorry to see you go from here, look forward to whats next! Great review, my current favourite android device, first Samsung i would genuinely consider getting :)
Woah, congratulations David. That's so exciting and I can't wait to see how MKBHD channel improves with your added flavor. God bless friend and see you on the other channel.
If you have a trade-in (like an S10+), you can quickly bring the $1200 price tag down to $650. That's a $550 saving from Samsung website. Not bad for my 2-yr old S10+.
The best save to conserve the battery is to dim the brightness of the screen after a minute of not using it or any other time. Brightness is situational and rarely needed and easy to dispense. There is no need to lower refresh rate or the resolution .
Hello my friend,is it official that it will not have note 21. Because I want to wait if note 21 arrive. Please inform me if you know. Thanks a lot, nice work!!
Seems like an odd time to drop the charger. I don't see many type c charger. That's still way to new to be the wire clutter problem that they are talking abouy
Might be my imagination but, download speeds have nearly doubled over my old Note 9. Also the new Bluetooth iteration has nearly tripled the range of my cheap headphones. Oddly though, I'm finding my data usage has inceased by nearly 80%, streaming much the same content over the same time period ... hmm. Thankfully my 180Gb mobile plan only costs $40 a month. I hope the S-pen Pro has all of the functionality of the Note 20 at a reasonable price. A pen that simply writes and costs 40 US dollars is excessive.
Ah, we’ll miss seeing you here but will love watching you wherever. And can we give a shoutout to Android Authority for being cool enough to let you announce the move on their video? Now _that’s_ a class act. 👌🏾
@@panathatube You don't have to have the latest phone, as long as it runs well for your needs, it's fine. Buying new phones to impress your friends is idiotic.
@@Angelocity100 If i'm not mistaken, he doubted that the Note 21 is super revised compared to the Note 9! Well guess what. it is. Big time. It's a dated phone first and foremost because it won't be getting any new OS or security updates. Having an insecure phone is idiotic.
@@salilabdulkayyum2385 No, there are some ads that show as notifications, but you can easily turn them off in the Samsung account settings. If you've never had a Samsung phone, you'll be impressed by all the features OneUI offers. It's one of my favourite Android skins tbh.
I've read several professional reviews and several user reviews and no one said anything about ads in the UI. Maybe it's some kind of carrier thing in the US or the ads are well hidden or well disguised. I have the Galaxy S9+ with One UI 2.5 installed and all I'm getting is some notifications on new themes available in the Galaxy Store very rarely. Maybe that what he meant by ads?
Wow, what you did at 17:41 is exactly the comparison i was looking for (I am coming from a Huawei myself), and you are the only reviewer who did it, had to look at like 5 reviews before finding this one. Thanks!
The move to MKBHD seems like a really good fit, your time at Android Authority was great but it's time to grow and go, look forward to seeing you over there.
Thank you for mentioning about the baked in ads. I feel not enough reviewers are bringing this up and that makes Samsung feel it's ok to continue doing it.
I DON'T KNOW HOW ANYBODY CAN WATCH THESE REVIEWS WHEN YOU KEEP SAYING THAT ENTIRE NAME OF THE PHONE OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER.... LIKE ARE YOU GETTING PAID PIECEMEAL OR SOMETHING? I FIND IT SICKENING SORRY BUT I FIND IT VERY SICKENING I'M GOING TO SOON START MY OWN CHANNEL AND I'LL TREAT PEOPLE LIKE THEY'RE SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW WHICH DAMN PHONE IM TALKING ABOUT
*10:21* The thing is, India has something called "UPI (Unified Payments Interface) which is there on ALL payment apps here (including SamsungPay, GooglePay, and Indian apps like PayTM, PhonePe etc). It connects your payments app straight to your bank account. Stores/businesses have a 'UPI-code' placed everywhere in the stores which is to be scanned with the payments app that you use and the payment is done immediately after entering the required amount. Its very straightforward and only requires a camera on your phone instead of NFC/MST. That's the reason why NFC & MST aren't popular here (cuz we don't need em).
Bro, have you started your own youtube channel though? I'm sure you can be employed and still have your side gig. You're obviously skilled. All the best for the future and this was a great review.
Very informative review, however can you explain the banding happening at the transition from phone's 8k water ripples video to your commentary shot @19:11 ? Is it an issue with editing or something else?
i'm streaming this in review 8K, just for flexing. lol. anyway, the exynos version is a letdown once again, yes it's better than last year exynos, but the performance is only comparable to the snapdragon 865+
No sd card support, no increase wireless charging, a decrease in reverse wireless charging, no charger, no headphones, no case, no increase in battery size, no increase in wired charging, no sell for me. I'm done with Samsung!
Why would anyone want to use 120Hz when nothing is happening? This is literally no problem and the dynamic refresh rate is the best way to do it. Otherwise it's the same as leaving your car engine on while you're not using it - it will only waste fuel without being more useful.

Are they still Flagship phones ??🤔 No #headphone_jack No #Curve_displays No #SD_card No #Qhd_resolution No #iris_scanner No #dual_aperture No #heart_measure and now the Charger and the Headphones, don't know what is the reason make people buying Samsung now Never will i recommends samsung phone again with all features missing . I'll recommend pixel and iphone
Day-to-day, does charging speed matter thaaaat much? I was very satisfied with 15w for the past 5 years. I charged my phone once every 3 days (->1 day until the phone died (RIP)).
MST would be needed in Europe? I live in god damned Poland in a small town but I haven't seen a terminal without nfc for at least 5 years. Maybe that's just a Poland thing though.

You and MKBHD together what a wonderful news
The matte black finish looks super good😍
Your one of the top tech reviewers on RUclips..I’ve been a fan for years..good luck with everything bro..
Congratulation for your new job. Will be excited to see you and mkbhd together.
I just love your reviews and you'll be missed. But if I spot you on any channel on RUclips . . . I will subscribe. God bless. 💜
MKBHD is the new Apple, snatching Tesla Auto engineers. Good luck
Marques Brownlee is a RUclips influencer, how is he snatching engineers?
@@dhy566bdh47g Emphasis is on the snatching act, not on the exactness of the skills being snatched.
@@cyrilmuluh what does a social influencer have to do with major technology corporations?
Better for him working behind the scenes. His on screen videos are terrible.
Woah, congratulations David. That's so exciting and I can't wait to see how MKBHD channel improves with your added flavor. God bless friend and see you on the other channel.
This review in a nutshell:
"It's good"
"But..."
"It's still good though"
Great video as always David, really well done!👏
Loved your review!
I like your review. Simple understandable. Good luck on your new job at mkbhd.
I am sad... but also happy for your future... most detailed video out for now.... thanks for the effort you have done in every video..
Wishing you all the best for the new job !!
Great review, I'm definitely going with the ultra next time I upgrade.
If you have a trade-in (like an S10+), you can quickly bring the $1200 price tag down to $650. That's a $550 saving from Samsung website. Not bad for my 2-yr old S10+.
Great content. You did forget that you can use 120hz and qwad hd at the same time.
Will you review Samsung Galaxy M51? It was a good midrange phone with a massive 7000 mAh battery and Snapdragon 730G
I don't think he will. That phone is mainly aimed at Indian and other third-world country markets.
You'd have to turn off marketing stuff in your Samsung account to get minimal to no ads
The best save to conserve the battery is to dim the brightness of the screen after a minute of not using it or any other time. Brightness is situational and rarely needed and easy to dispense. There is no need to lower refresh rate or the resolution .
David make me love to watch AA and download their app.. love your review 👍👍👍
The opening reminds me the unveiling of Saber triangle
.
Why do you want locked 120hz instead of VRR? Did you ever notice the VRR not kicking in? If not, then it's a pretty silly complaint.
U forgot about macro shot ability from wide angle lens
15:03
Portrait mode do not use 3x telephoto lens instead it uses main camera with 2x crop/zoom
I never had ads on my OneUI ever! What are you talking about!?
Hello my friend,is it official that it will not have note 21. Because I want to wait if note 21 arrive. Please inform me if you know. Thanks a lot, nice work!!

I accidentally poked the microphone hole next to the sim tray. Did I damage something?

A pen that simply writes and costs 40 US dollars is excessive.
I find the animatd background behind the photos quite distracting.
It is okay to use a 45W charger on S21 Ultra though?
how is haptic feedback?

I always try that but RUclips always ignores that and considers it as blank space
@@mxyznk
Yeah how did you did that
Good luck on your new adventure! You're definitely one of my fave reviewers and definitely will follow you over at MKBHD :-).
The last farewell got me like nooooooooooooo...... But I am still excited cuz its MKBHD. Wonder what happened to Lahn??
David making the switch to MKBHD! Probably one of his last videos.
I wish you good luck!
David is one of the best reviewers on this channel 💯
Super revised? Nah I’m still staying with my Note 9

Note 9 is a good phone. But it's dated.

@@yeetiesandwheaties lol
Ads in a $1200 phone - Disgraceful!
PS - sad you're leaving, really like your review style.
Does this mean there is Ads in interface itself or some of the apps?? Was thinking of going for 21Ultra(Never used samsung before)
@@salilabdulkayyum2385 No, there are some ads that show as notifications, but you can easily turn them off in the Samsung account settings. If you've never had a Samsung phone, you'll be impressed by all the features OneUI offers. It's one of my favourite Android skins tbh.

Next: Huawei mate 40 pro plus vs s21 ultra camera
Me watching this on my glossy black s8 :')
Noo i like your reviews :(
Good luck with mkbhd, hope he lets you do some reviews too :)
I just watched 22 mins it didn’t like 22 mins yeah that’s how good this video was
Biggest compliment! Thank you 🙏🏻
You forgot a word
Huawei 10x is different to s21ultra. S21ULTRA zoom reflects the light 2 in the zoom and p40pro plus reflects it 5 times
The move to MKBHD seems like a really good fit, your time at Android Authority was great but it's time to grow and go, look forward to seeing you over there.
Thank you for mentioning about the baked in ads. I feel not enough reviewers are bringing this up and that makes Samsung feel it's ok to continue doing it.
*Don't forget that the S21 ultra also used a different large 108MP sensor, not the same sensor with the S20 ultra*

I think samsung's software need a rant at this point
Goodluck dude.
Thanks, I learnt something new - One UI include ads. I will skip Samsung phones going forward.
It dosnt. It just from the apps you can just turn it off from the app
Bro, have you started your own youtube channel though? I'm sure you can be employed and still have your side gig. You're obviously skilled. All the best for the future and this was a great review.
Thanks much. It exists and I’m planning things for it! Currently no videos on it yet but I’m working on some. RUclips.com/Davidimel 🙂
Wow so noice
Android authority: app notification is add now 😑

Awesome video 😊. Congratulations on new job, he's (MKBHD) the man! Look forward to seeing you 😃.
Very informative review, however can you explain the banding happening at the transition from phone's 8k water ripples video to your commentary shot @19:11 ? Is it an issue with editing or something else?
I think the s21 ultra design is much better compared to s20 ultra design
Agreed!
Really Good Review compared other High Subscribed RUclipsrs
Very detailed review! Great job
i'm streaming this in review 8K, just for flexing. lol. anyway, the exynos version is a letdown once again, yes it's better than last year exynos, but the performance is only comparable to the snapdragon 865+
Correction, it's faster than the sd 888 in cpu, but gpu no, but it's just 7secs shy of the sd88 which is not a big deal
good luck on your new jab man,great that you got to work with mkbhd
Congrats on your new job. MKBHD videos are good but his reviews lack the deep dive. I hope you continue to do it over there.
No sd card support, no increase wireless charging, a decrease in reverse wireless charging, no charger, no headphones, no case, no increase in battery size, no increase in wired charging, no sell for me. I'm done with Samsung!
Samsung Galaxy S21 review: meh
David Imel bidding goodbye to AA: that's breaking news. And going over to MKBHD. Didn't see that one coming.
3:11 Third? I thought second
Why would anyone want to use 120Hz when nothing is happening? This is literally no problem and the dynamic refresh rate is the best way to do it. Otherwise it's the same as leaving your car engine on while you're not using it - it will only waste fuel without being more useful.
Will miss david a lot on android authority. The way he reviews any device is simple and resonates with common people
Good Luck. Looking forward to seeing what you do Over there 👍🏾
You are very good at reviewing phones. I think it's better if you start your own channel than working for anyone. Anyway, i wish you the best.
Will definitely be doing that too!
