Say hello to the new Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G. Designed to break the barrier of photography with a revolutionary contour camera that lets you shoot 8K cinematic movies and take epic photos - all in one go. On top of that, the Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G quickly lives up to its name with the quickest processor, break resistance glass, 5G and a 5,000mAh battery.
The Galaxy S21 Ultra has a Dynamic AMOLED screen. It supports an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate, similar to the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. This results in a resolution better than the Galaxy S20 Ultra's already impressive display. However, the latest version makes both scrolling and graphics-intensive apps look extremely smooth, though it's incredibly battery efficient.
The Galaxy S21 Ultra's cameras stand out from the rest of the body, but the jerkiness is still acceptable when the phone is on a desk. The smooth matte finish makes the S21 Ultra very slippery, but it's a little easier to handle than the Galaxy S20 Ultra. That's because the S21 Ultra is a bit shorter than its predecessor. Its screen is 0.1 inches wider, and because the height of the mobile screen is determined diagonally, the S21 Ultra is slightly narrower as a result. All this paired with the rounded edges on the front and back results in a phone that is large, but not cumbersome to use.
For better scratch and drop resistance, the S21 Ultra uses Corning's Gorilla Glass Victus on both the front screen as well as the back cover. Although the edge display no longer curves as much as in the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, a protective cover is recommended to avoid unintended touches.
The 4K@60fps video quality on all four cameras is quite impressive, although the resolution is not as high, particularly when you see them on a TV monitor. Luckily, 8K shooting is still supported.Switch to 8K video mode that are shot at 24 fps and you would be impressed by the quality of each frame taken straight from the 8K video.
Samsung S Pen support in the flagship Galaxy S is unprecedented alongside the Note series. While it lacks a few features like Bluetooth connectivity and gyroscope, the rest of the features are just as seen on the Galaxy Note device. The Air Command menu, which lets you control everything from the Samsung Notes app to the Live Messages or Translate feature, can be triggered by pressing the S Pen button while hovering over the display.
Compatibility with the S Pen implies that you can not get with pin-point accuracy that your finger cannot tap when editing your videos right down to the last frame.
Selfies are taken with the same 40MP F2.2 front-facing camera as the Galaxy S20 Ultra, and with plenty of clarity, detailed skin tones, and good dynamic range in good light, it usually does an excellent job.
The Galaxy S21 Ultra's Dual Zoom system zooms faster, smoother and sharper than any other zoom in the Galaxy series. The brand new Zoom Lock keeps the frame lock in place, especially at 100x zoom.
We can not say the same for the S20 Ultra, as it requires a tripod to zoom in with stability. For night shots, you can zoom up to 30x, any further distance depends on the optical image stabilizer of the 10x lens to capture the subject without missing the target.
AI further enhances the studio-like portrait mode to deliver perfect lighting in your photos by analyzing faces, lighting angles, orientation, and depth of field mapping.
Samsung has also introduced new studio-quality lighting effects that make the landscape absolutely blacken or whiten the landscape, in addition to renaming Live Focus to Portrait Mode. There's also a color effect that adds a random color to the background, and you can change your face's brightness. With the normal blur effect, you can also change your face's brightness. These modern effects look cool, but where there is a lot of hair and they still work exclusively on individuals, the background effect's implementation is not always flawless.
The Bright Night sensor is our greatest breakthrough in night photography. It produce bright, vibrant colours in the dark of night. Capture consistently sharp images with lower noise and then manage exposure time too.
The first 5nm chipset in a Galaxy phone is equipped with astonishing speed and efficiency to enhance the program's learning speed and knowledge. This means the Galaxy S21 Ultra is now more intelligent than ever before.
The Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G's intelligent battery outlasts the day, even with on 5G. With a whopping 5000mAh, it works beyond the 24-hour mark and features the latest energy-efficient screen and processor. Not only does the S21 Ultra outperform its main rivals, it also lasts longer thanks to the built- in 5,000mAh intelligent battery, which, along with the power-saving chipset, surpasses the 24-hour mark on a single charge.
