    I have owned my Exynos S21 Ultra for some ten months now and, for me, the phone just gets better and better and I love it more and more. I use the incredible camera very heavily and am constantly being delighted by it and I enjoy using it more and more. The phone is blazingly fast, the battery is excellent and very consistent (9 hours plus screen time a day), the display is fantastic as are the speakers. The phone is DEFINITELY worth the asking price. Interestingly though I recently bought my Wife an A52s and she loves it, and from my experience with it I find it a brilliant phone in every way!. This phone is actually underpriced in my opinion as are a lot of quality mid range phones. I am discovering that is the mid range phone sector where all the bargains are. Truly GREAT bargains.

    I really enjoyed this video as I recently purchased the S 21 ultra, haven’t received it yet though. Studying videos by people like you who know their way around a cell phone the way I know my way around a pizza is really beneficial. To be able to pick up the phone and know ahead of time pretty much what to expect really helps and some of the technical terms give me at least a primary education. I definitely will subscribe and later relate my own experiences. Thank you, you have a friend in Columbus Ohio!

    Very good review. I initially sold my S21 Ultra for the 12 Pro Max and after using it for a month I sold the Max and purchased another S21 Ultra. Thankfully here in India the base storage is 256gb, but still a memory card slot would have made this phone the true Ultra. Loved your honest take on the phone. Keep up the good work.

  • @cousinjuno
    @cousinjuno 2 года назад

    Well I had commented on this video before I received my S21 Ultra has it gave me some preparation for what was to come. In no way did I realize how much difference there was between an Android and iPhone and even though your video and others help prepare me somewhat without them I may have been in trouble LOL. I've had this 21 Ultra for about a month-and-a-half now and absolutely love it. I mean it is 2021 so you really can't go wrong with most of the flagship phones but I am glad I chose this one house the camera is outstanding and I have so much more to explore. Once again I just wanted to say thanks for helping people like me. You have a friend in Columbus Ohio!

    I'm glad you mentioned the sound on this phone. I upgraded from a Galaxy S10 to the S21 Ultra and the difference in sound quality is immense! Not enough phone reviewers give enough credit to a phone's speakers. I know most are generally a bit tinny but on the S21 ultra the sound is loud, clear and well defined.

    Really fair points in the video excellent.
    Coming from a Note 9 great device for working out in the field, looking at the 21ultra but I don't think I would use the cameras enough and I also want a compact device like s21 5g for working out in the gym as oppose to the Bulk of the S21 Ultra.
    As I'm used to the notes will I want the Ultra later or find it too bulky?
    Only thing I like a part from style is the 100x moon shots will the novelty wear off?

    I tried using my S21-U without a case for about a week. It felt good in the hand, but every time that I set it down, it was sliding off of things. My lap, ...plop, onto the floor. The arm of a couch, ...plop, onto the floor or down in between the cushions. Also, with the camera bump, good luck using a bubble level APP.
    So, I got a protective case.

    i have been using it since i pre-ordered it, great display and performance (Exynos 2100),
    although
    -no mmwave 5g (expected to have for its price)
    - no SD card (not a deal breaker for me, but i take lots of photos and vids)
    - headphone jack (no biggie since i got buds pro with preorder)
    battery for me is roughly 5-6 hours with half wifi and 5g, adaptive brightness at fhd 120hz
    highly recommend getting a case as well as a dbrand skin for the camera bump
    overall a great phone

    Id say the battery gets more to 7-8 hours screen on time. From your battery usage it was 6 hours of youtube and youtube is very optimized on the latest samsungs, they hardly drain any battery compared to constanty texting/snapchat and a few other apps. So id say its actually less depending what you are doing as some apps drain battery much faster than others

    Phantom black on this thing still looks killer 🔥 For the reduced price at $1000, that's actually pretty good price for what it offers especially considering that the newly launched OnePlus 9 Pro also price the same and no offense but S21 Ultra easily eat the OnePlus for breakfast haha 😅😂 This phone is a beast

      Whew, paid a thousand a year later, so I don’t feel ripped off.

    Just bought the phone like a month ago. Pretty solid so far ! I like a lot of the features you talked about. But got to admit, had I known the phone does not have a Micro SD card slot which is a must for me, I would not have bought it. i missed this detail when I looked up the phone coz it is such a given for me in terms of features. Still dont understand why Samsung decided not to keep that option. Anyways... thanks for the video ! I am stuck with this phone for a while now.. lol

      @@etothej Really? I have the note10+ and I was contemplating either the S21 ultra or the IPhone 12 max. I've had no problems with the 10+ aside from connectivity issues with the galaxy watch Spotify app and loose charger port due to normal use. But I really want to try out the iPhone and the experience.
