no issue man i bought Samsung a21s 128g version after your review and it was awesome and for me for daily use it only consuming 60 to 70% per day of heavy use battery is freakin awesome
Seems like they want to be more like apple, not realizing their differences from apple is what makes people go to their phones. Disappointing if you ask me.
100% agree. Extremely disappointed that Samsung removed the charging brick. I actually defended them saying they would never do something so stupid. I love their note series, I've had every single one since the note 8. And it's the only reason I'm still sticking to samsung
New sub bc you play stardew valley lol. No seriously great review. I pre-ordered and am coming from the note20 so it was good to see a fellow note user review what they thought of the SPen with the s series.
Great review as always! I purchased M51 after watching your review. I watched other videos as well of course but yours was the one that sealed the deal for me. Keep up the good work.
Was thinking the same, I'm upgrading and want to get the note but it's hard to justify getting last year's specs over this years, even if the note has a better design
I've always wondered why Samsung moved the volume keys to the right side when there's so much space on the left side of the phone. Now I know that it's all about having room for that s-pen holder.
One mistake most people do with Samsung's ultrasonic scanner is that they hold the area when unlocking which is fine, but one tap is enough and a little faster and I try it on my Note 20
Got mine 3 days ago and im loving it!!Seeing your vid on s-pen is actually making me wanna get one now since haven't seen anyone put a vid of experience on it.
Love your review man, thank you! How protective do you feel the silicone case is? I'm in two minds and this one and the clear view wallet style conver 🤔 both look great I think and have s pen support, but I'm worried the silicone one may not offer enough protection?
It's been as useful as it can be over the course of a couple days lol. I used it once or twice to track my phone down and several times to control my lights. It didn't add much bulk to my key ring which is nice so it's not annoying to carry around when on the go. For $30 it's worth it I'd say!
@@ShaneSymonds, I'm sure there will be some cool cases out eventually. I pre ordered mine from Amazon. It seems like most people who bought it from Samsung already have it. Mine won't be arriving until the 30th or the 31st. I think. I had no clue that the SmartTag can do more than just track your phone and other things. Does the Tag only turn on lights that connect to the SmartThings app?
Same thought 💭 s20 ultra was the last one I have it and was thinking of upgrading but no charger or sd card slot it's a hard pass for me samsung lost a long time customer for sure going keep rolling till my s20 ultra can't no more and moving on
I completely loved the video just ordered my 21 ultra little late to the show but coming from iPhone 11 Pro max . Time to try android 11 :) totally buzzing can't wait for the post van 😍
Here with s21 ultra samsung just did a miracle . S21 ultra is the best device in the market ... Top ranking ... it's my first dream device 🤩😘 ... shotout to samsung company for putting more work in that device ❤
Bro you need to do some research and look up how to unlock your phone using the finger print you are doing it wrong. Don't hold you're finger down on the sensor, is a light quick touch and it will unlock it much faster
I bought the s21 plus for the flat screen in phantom black. It also looks sweet. Nobody talks about the s21 plus. Battery life is amazing. 2 day battery for sure.
@@irvingsanchez9273 better finger print scanner. Faster processor. Subjectively better style/build. Better camera. Flat screen. Those are the things that I think are better with the S21.
Great video, Shane. I have note 10 plus, but ordered the S21 ultra for a test run. So far, I am loving it. The cameras are better than note 10 and the screen is crazy bright. As for the spen, it's pretty good. Works like it does on note q0, minus the Bluetooth abilities. The case is not bad either. The downside is SD card support and mst. But I am feeling this phone. I hope they drop one more note phone as a proper send off. But I do like the S21 Ultra functional more than note 20 ultra for sure.
Lack of sim card on the s21 made me go for the note 20 ultra. Exynos version though. Gotta be honest I nearly went for Apple. And maybe next time I will.
One day we will see this is a huge camera with huge. Lens with 1000000000 mp and the camera has 2 sim slots 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂you know just in case if you want to do the main motto of device ...the calls 😂😂
Not even going to lie, I was really disappointed by the line up this year, I have a note 10 plus and I wanted to upgrade and now I have to wait another year for the next note because it’s not coming this year😞😞. The s21 ultra does look nice tho
s21 is the no brainer. the screen beautiful screen with 120 hz, camera, fingerprint scanner. Is worth it alone. But im a biased samsung user so dont just base it off my advise. samsung does have the super nice deal on their site for trade ins so check that out
I have been using both and the S21 is my choice. I enjoy apple products but when it comes to phones the Samsung phones are more enjoyable and useful imo
I normally like the cameras in the centre but like the Note 20 Ultra the S21 Ultra is the second phone I do like it in the corner. I would have preferred the camera area in gold combined with that mate black back or at least the rings around the lenses in gold.
No headphone jack. No expandable storage. No charger. Still a thousand plus price phone. So Samsung wants to give you less for your money. Hell noooo! I don't think so!..... Samsung can keep their phone I'm not buying.
I have a question which is better note 20ultra or s 21ultra ? To me ? I like note 20 ultra better ! Have a sd card 2 i dont need to spend any more money on charing brick s pen ? After all i spend over thousand on a phone ! Just becaues is better phone? I taking the note20ultra
I hate that they dont have the SD card ,nor the headphones . I know I am late to the game on wireless but it's because wireless dont seem to last all day and having the plug in is one less thing I have to charge . For me that is a must as a paramedic I like to be able to grab and go .... I keep a set of earphones in my gear bag so there is no need to " charge". For the price getting the wall charger brick and the earphones is IMHO essential if you are spending this amount on a phone ! And before any one says well you have the money to purchase the phone .... some take payment options and money does run out ! Also one issue is trying to understand the needs of memory what you have/can upgrade to to the memory on board of the phone ... so that you can " grow" with it ... It took me several hours of research to find that " happy" spot ..

Not providing the charging block is absolute bullshit. I have this phone, and I definitely think the 1200 should cover the charging block.
Yes We been waiting for this🥳😁
Finally here!
I'm thinking of getting this instead of the iPhone 12.
Actually me tooo

I don't know why samsung is getting rid of stuff like Apple. They got rid of the earphone jack on phones and the power brick
Seems like they want to be more like apple, not realizing their differences from apple is what makes people go to their phones. Disappointing if you ask me.
@@ShaneSymonds yes very disappointing
They only care about their business strategy but not about their customers...ugh
The removal of the headphone jack was because the market is pushing wireless earbuds.
100% agree. Extremely disappointed that Samsung removed the charging brick.
I actually defended them saying they would never do something so stupid.
I love their note series, I've had every single one since the note 8. And it's the only reason I'm still sticking to samsung
Watching on my s21 ultra 😁

Nice
Really nice phone, a lot better design versus last years s20 ultra. If there’s no note 21 this year, then I might pickup an s21 ultra.
What makes you think there won't be a Note this year?
i think the camera looks better on the s20 ultra... if the s20 ultra had the s21 ultra specs id be happy to use it lol
@Luis Jara ah, forgot about that!
Was thinking the same, I'm upgrading and want to get the note but it's hard to justify getting last year's specs over this years, even if the note has a better design
I've always wondered why Samsung moved the volume keys to the right side when there's so much space on the left side of the phone. Now I know that it's all about having room for that s-pen holder.
Even the s20 series had on the right. Its because people complained when they moved them to the left in the note 10 series
I'm the 3.6 percent! Man, I got this phone in the mail yesterday and is has surpassed my expectations! Hope we get a 24 hour review! Lol great video
I love how the androids upgrading like design, storage and ram unlike ios only design they upgrade how sad hahaha
Lame
The phantom silver also looks good, my last two were black so I wanted a change. Amazing phone.
One mistake most people do with Samsung's ultrasonic scanner is that they hold the area when unlocking which is fine, but one tap is enough and a little faster and I try it on my Note 20
I'll try this thanks
I can confirm just tapping works well, but I think the face recognition is faster. Still good to have both though!
Exactly 💯
Got mine 3 days ago and im loving it!!Seeing your vid on s-pen is actually making me wanna get one now since haven't seen anyone put a vid of experience on it.
Can I get a Samsung s21 ultra 😕

I'd say the silicone provides below average protection. It looks good, feels good, but it's main purpose is to hold that pen
Nice! How's the SmartTag? Is it useful after a couple days?
It's been as useful as it can be over the course of a couple days lol. I used it once or twice to track my phone down and several times to control my lights. It didn't add much bulk to my key ring which is nice so it's not annoying to carry around when on the go. For $30 it's worth it I'd say!
@@ShaneSymonds, nice. I ordered the Oatmeal one.
@@roccol3110 nice! It was sold out when I was looking to get one so black was my only choice but I like the stealth look

The only thing i hate from this year's galaxy is the lack of expandable storage. Maybe the last best overall galaxy is Note 20 Ultra *i think.
Maybe in the conventional smartphone category yes, but I think foldables are going to take over as the best overall phones in due time
@@ShaneSymonds sure it is... I wonder what's next for samsung's foldable. I think it is a bit more exciting
In 2021 u really don't need a SD option with all the cloud services that why am getting the 512gb that more then enough

Hey Shane, seeing mixed things online does the s21 ultra come with a pre-installed screen protector? apparently they are seamless??
They finding more ways to get money out of you by taking away the simple things
You deserve more subscribers. Very nice explained than most reviewers.
The less curved design of the Note series is superior. Rounded corners ain’t it.
Watching this on my s21+ , still a very,very good
Is that Holy Bible app pre-loaded onto the phone?
The matte black is 🔥🔥🔥
I’ve seen a lot of unboxing videos, and i have one major question! Why do most people if not all use a big a** knife??
Let’s see how many people have an Apple product!
I got an iPhone XR and I’m planning on upgrading to this. I’m just waiting till June since my carrier said it would be 400 bucks off then.
Samsung its becoming trash. That comes from a note10+ user.
beautiful phone. im still upset won't come with extra memory. that's because im still using my note 9 512gb with 512 micro sd.
The pen should have been incorporated in the phone.
These camera bumps just keep getting horrible😔, I really love the whole punch camera tho it’s the reason I might buy it.
Dual sim? And does this have a screen protector pre-applied?
No dual sim
yes there is an dual sim ;) and yes there is a protector applied
@@daliorouar2649 no there is not a protector applied..... it is not a screen protector.
Well he showed in the video and i have one and there is a protector on and they do it since the s10 maybe the s9 even
Here with s21 ultra samsung just did a miracle . S21 ultra is the best device in the market ... Top ranking ... it's my first dream device 🤩😘 ... shotout to samsung company for putting more work in that device ❤

If you check out my S21+ unboxing I am doing it correctly! Love it!
Hey, what a cool stuff. You have the bible installed 😁
why people prefer snapdragon over exynos ?
benchmark score is almost same in both
I prefer a14
So nobody talks about no brick ?
I bought the s21 plus for the flat screen in phantom black. It also looks sweet. Nobody talks about the s21 plus. Battery life is amazing. 2 day battery for sure.
Excited to look at the S21 Plus today!
is it better than the s10+?
@@irvingsanchez9273 better finger print scanner. Faster processor. Subjectively better style/build. Better camera. Flat screen.
Those are the things that I think are better with the S21.
LOL, they have been on sale at Best Buy for weeks at $999 for the 512GB unlocked version 😂
mine's 888 get's hot while taking Video, photo even web Surfing, is It normal ?
I love your videos. I watch them every day . 🙂😄
Glad to hear that! Motivates me to keep making more!
Your welcome I just watched it. I look up to you. I have a RUclips channel too Toby Lennox.
Beautiful phone. Great video. Thx
How did your get the s pen and case so fast? I ordered mine like day of announcement and it says it won't be here until mid February lol.
Depends on the location where you order

Nice job Shane. Love the S21 Ultra so far and yes, I subscribed :-)
Does it come with a pre installed screen protector??
yes well depending on what model you get exynos or sd idk which one has it tho
Samsung become like apple... let just hope these 2 company don't make car in the future... more environment friendly New Car ..no Tyre included...
What an amazing video! Thanks for the tips! I have also posted a video showing my first impressions of the Samsung S21 Ultra with x100 test!
Lack of sim card on the s21 made me go for the note 20 ultra. Exynos version though. Gotta be honest I nearly went for Apple. And maybe next time I will.
It's still got a slot for the SIM card.
It's the SD card slot that isn't on the S21 series.

I'm arguing between this and Pixel 7 or 6a. From reviews, it looks like the recent Pixels with Tensor chip are way "smarter " than Samsungs.
Perfect review, I have made up my mind I'm definitely buying one of This tomorrow afternoon
Love your channel Shane. Glad I waited for this review.
It's only 1200 dollars in US..but in Malaysia...it almost RM 7000
You should have bought Phantom Silver that's the prestigious colour😍🔥
How did you enable the front camera ring light on the lock screen? Seems cool. Hope to hear from ya. Thanks!

To quote Tony Stark: "I want one".
Unfortunate without the charging brick tho
Cuz am new to Samsung and I have to buy a charger separately
