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

Cons:
  • No MicroSD memory card slot, Night mode images can have issues, High price

Samsung Galaxy S21 ULTRA (512GB) 5G Phantom Black SM-G998BZKHXNZ review

The Galaxy S21 is a tank. It’s a big, heavy (8.04 ounces versus its predecessor’s 7.7), blunt instrument of a phone. It’s quintessential Samsung, really — the handset you purchase when too much isn’t quite enough.

Samsung Galaxy S21 ULTRA (512GB) 5G Phantom Black SM-G998BZKHXNZ review

It was always going to be tough for the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra to follow the fantastic phone that is the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, at least as far as the experience is concerned. Yet, Samsung clearly has taken pains to find those specific points on the spec sheet, which needed an upgrade.
