Samsung Galaxy S21 ULTRA (512GB) 5G Phantom Black SM-G998BZKHXNZ review
We’re a tad late to the party (thanks, Samsung!), but our Galaxy S21 Ultra has arrived. As you know, we like to kick it old school and do a good ol’ fashioned unboxing, so let’s not waste any more time and get straight to it. In the below video, we’ll unbox the device, go over the box’s lack of...

Surprise, the Galaxy S21 Ultra is launching a month earlier than anticipated, and that’s good news if you’re eager to own the very best of what Samsung can pack into a smartphone.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra review: The top dog?
The clear flagship in the S21 family - and a better performer than the smaller S21 and S21+ models, thanks to its better cameras - the Ultra is the pick for those who want all the best that Samsung offers. Its great display, stacks of power and performance, is only tempered slightly by battery life that's quick to drain when put under pressure.- Great new finish and improved design
- Powerful internal hardware
- Adaptive refresh rate
- S Pen stylus support
- Camera performance
- Stands apart from rest of S21 range
- No microSD card slot
- Undeniably expensive
- Camera setup more confusing than it needs to be
- Battery life isn't great under pressure

Android phones often try to market specs, with companies throwing everything but the kitchen sink at their flagship phones. But the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra may be the first phone that’s throwing the right specs at you — right, in the sense that they go a long way in justifying the price.

As we’re wrapping up the review, I’m left with quite a few different views on the new S21 series, all depending on the model, with also some value considerations depending on the price you’re able to get the new phones at.
Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G (256GB, Black) AU - Pristine review
So all in all, yes, we do feel that the Enhanced Game Booster did bring some improvements to the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G. As mentioned, the RAM allocation and processing speed directed to some mobile games proved useful.
Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G (256GB, Black) AU - Pristine review
While not perfect, I think the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G is pretty close. It’s missing some features that I’ve grown accustomed to with my previous phones, mainly expandable storage, and an AUX jack, but I believe the additions make up for the subtractions.
Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G (256GB, Black) AU - Pristine review
The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G marks a new era in smartphone design for the company. But with one of its major competitors challenged by a Google services lockout, has Samsung chosen to innovate or rest on its laurels?
