Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G review: 2021’s true S Series phone, and the best yet
However sweet the new design is, the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G and S21+ 5G don’t have the spec sheet highlights we’ve come to expect from Samsung’s top S Series phones. To get that true S Series experience, you have to buy the Galaxy S21 Ultra, which goes all-out on power, screen, camera, and battery tech to satisfy hardcore fans. But at $1,200, the Galaxy S21 Ultra is a considerable investment, certainly when compared to the $800 Galaxy S21 that we’ve already reviewed. Plus, it faces serious competition from both outside — the iPhone 12 Pro Max, for example — and inside (the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra and the Galaxy Z Fold 2). I’m a week into living with the S21 Ultra, so consider this a very detailed early look rather than our definitive review at this stage. Both I and Mobile Editor Andrew Martonik will be adding our continued thoughts about the phone to this article over the coming weeks, building out our final review. But even after seven days, the Galaxy S21 Ultra’s extraordinary abilities...
Pros:
- Highly capable, versatile camera
- Beautiful AMOLED screen
- Elegant new design
- Long battery life
- Latest software from Google and Samsung
- Price is down from last year
Cons:
- Shaky Wi-Fi connectivity
- Intermittent charging problems
- Top-heavy design affects balance
- No MicroSD card slot

Samsung Galaxy S21 ULTRA (512GB) 5G Phantom Black SM-G998BZKHXNZ review
Samsung’s Galaxy S21 Ultra is more affordable than last year’s flagship, has more cameras, and adds an S Pen: on paper, at least, what’s not to love? Setting the bar for smartphones in 2021, the daddy of the currently three-strong Galaxy S21 family promises more of that monstrously effective Samsung...
Pros:
- Fantastic 120Hz display makes no resolution compromise
- 108MP camera is capable of great photos
- More affordable than last year's flagship phone
- Potent performance and long battery life
- S Pen functionality is a welcome addition from Galaxy Note
Cons:
- No microSD
- no Samsung Pay MST
- and slower charging than the S20 Ultra
- 100x Space Zoom still feels like a gimmick
- S Pen implementation feels half-hearted

- 120 Hz and WQHD+
- high system performance
- good camera setup
- Wi-Fi 6E
- dual SIM with 5G and eSIM

- S Pen support
Cons:
- storage not expandable
- VHT160 Wi-Fi not particularly fast or stable
- games are FPS-bound

- 5G without mmWave
