Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra Review | Trusted Reviews

Is the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra the most exciting Samsung ever? With high-end specs, a sleek design and huge battery it might just be.

Great screen thanks to WQHD+ and 120Hz;Much-improved design with an attractive finish;Far more versatile camera than the iPhone 12 Pro Max

Expensive, with many cheaper phones offering the same features;Big and heavy;No charger included

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. It wowed us with a huge screen, five cameras and the best zoom on any...

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra review: Still a top phone?

Samsung's 2021 superphone - the S21 Ultra - sits above the S21 and S21 Plus in the family. But is it still as "ultra" as the name suggests?

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

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...

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

The Galaxy S21 Ultra is designed to represent the best of Samsung's expertise; spanning design, performance, camera and more. That all doesn't come cheap, though

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G review

Samsung goes extra with the Ultra

Awesome camera zoom capability ; Smooth, ultra-bright screen ; Supports the S-Pen like a Galaxy Note

No charger: a cheap move ; Some alternatives last longer between charges ; UK Exynos version not as powerful as upcoming Snapdragon phones

An Android that earns its “ultra” title with an incredible camera array allowing you to capture moments other phones will simply miss

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, 5G

(Rating Hidden)

Samsung's Galaxy S21 Ultra smartphone won't be everyone's cup of tea, with its unwieldy 6.8-inch display and a price that would seem expensive for even a good-quality laptop. You can't help but be impressed with the specs though, from the...

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra review

The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is a market leader which justifies its high price tag.

Across-the-board excellence ; Best-in-class screen ; Excellent camera system ; S Pen support is welcome

S Pen not included ; Can get warm when gaming ; Chunky size will put some off

If you’re someone who wants the best Android powerhouse around – and you’re not quite ready for a foldable – then the Galaxy S21 Ultra is the obvious choice. It really is an across-the-board champion, even going toe-to-toe with the Galaxy Note with...
