And I Like the Old One! Wow!
When I upgraded my phone service, my old phone struggled to get decent LTE signal so Ifelt it was time to upgrade the phone. (5G is coming anyway) Wow, I'm glad I did. I thought my old Samsung 8S+ was fantastic, but the S21 Ultra is even better. I started with a Note 1 and am impressed by every model release and the features with the next model. If you're a Samsung person, you'll love this one just as much. I've had it a month and I'm still leaning the new features.

Truly impressive!!!
As a person who has been using the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra for nearly three and a half years now, I would say that this is undoubtedly one of the best mobile phones I have ever used. Although the mobile phone is simply designed in plain black, it somehow gives me a sense of luxury while I am holding it. The mobile phone offers an abundance of features to choose from, from a variety of camera modes to additional features like automatically correcting ungrammatical sentences, which help in my daily life as well as my studies a lot more conveniently. Moreover, despite opening lots of apps or tabs at the same time, its performance remains incredibly smooth without any gaps or problems emerging. Another admirable thing about this mobile phone is the durability of its battery. I can conveniently use it for two days without charging, and it only takes around 40 minutes to fully charge the mobile phone in case it runs off the battery. However, despite having lots of pros, there are some cons as well, since the mobile phone is quite pricy. So, you need to consider this carefully before purchasing. Also, the mobile phone itself is a bit large and quite slippery. I would then suggest you buy a case and always keep it inside your bag or pocket as there is a high risk that it may get lost or drop out somewhere if you are walking while holding it. Overall, I think the mobile phone is indeed worth buying, and I highly recommend it to those who work as technicians or in the studio. Even though the price is a bit high, I guarantee that you will enjoy using it!

    Smart switch
    My phone journey has been extremely long and I'm glad I landed with the S21 Ultra 5G. For the past few generations (of phones) I've been using a Google Pixel. I'm intrigued by a clean Android that's not too bloated. My latest phone before my 21 Ultra was a Pixel 4 XL. With this phone I used my Pixel Buds at my delivery job everyday. I'm so not me to Samsung. After the Nexus 6P by Google, I switched over to a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. I fell in love with the camera, and that's one thing I've always loved about Samsung. Another thing is the screens. My first experience with a Samsung screen dates back to 2011 with the Galaxy Nexus. That Super AMOLED screen seemed so superior to any other screen that I've ever used on a smartphone. Switching back to a Samsung today, I'm reimagining how good screen technology can be. I've used an iPhone before with the iPhone 4. Used various LG phones. And it's kind of inevitable that I would end up with a Samsung being that these phones always come pack with a better software and hardware experience. I was NOT a fan of TouchWiz, but One UI is now my favorite Android skin even over the vanilla stock skin. I NEVER used Samsung Messages and am thrilled with their decision to use Android Messages by Google on all the Samsung devices by default. I've had issues with all other email clients, including Gmail, when it came to simply receiving ALL my emails. I don't like overly aggressive spam blockers and I don't like filters. Samsung's email app (which didn't come with the phone for some odd reason) is literally a dream come true. I get all my emails unfiltered, not in a special folder, and in a timely manner all the time. Amenities like super fast charging, being able to change my screen resolution, extreme battery saver, and just great optimization have contributed to amazing battery life for me. Exclusive Samsung specific apps (from the Galaxy Store) have given me just enough Android customization to fulfill my desires. Power sharing, a bright and vivid screen, and a lot of "gimmicky" features have made me the envy of friends and family.

    This phone got me to switch from using an iPhone.
    I have been a long time iPhone user. Prior that I used various Android devices. After a while they would give me problems. Not only had my experience been stable and worry free, I feel the hardware is better, too. Never thought I'd be able to take a decent picture of the moon with a phone.

    Best all around Android phone
    I bought the S21 Ultra about a month after launch, and since then I have been using the device. This phone is incredible in all aspects great battery life, incredible display from 120hz to the vivid Super Amoled Panel. Oneui has improved soo much over the years it is by far my favorite skin for Android and favorite Ui to use on any phone. But probably the most impressive part and my favorite part of this phone is the camera system. The versatility that it gives and the features it comes with have produced some of my best photos. Here are 6 that I've taken in the past year.

    The Greatest Smartphone to date!
    This phone is amazing. I'm able to truly multitask and get all of my work done on the go. The 16GB of ram is amazing. It is blazing fast and the battery life gets me through those hard days. I'm a gamer as well and this phone handles that like a boss. Since using the camera, I don't even pickup my professional grade camera. The S21 Ultra gets the job done and then some. I can edit photos and videos right from my phone with professional grade quality. This is a game changing device and I am very happy I got it. The only thing I do not like is the AT&T bloat wear. I think that should be left out. Samsung has a great ecosystem and doesn't need any help from AT&T.

    Galaxy S21 Ultra is a must have!
    I bought the Galaxy S21 Ultra months ago and I have to say it has to be my most favorite smartphone of this year! Let's talk about the Display. It's crispy clear even if it's at 1080p resolution, but of course I go for highest resolution. The 120hz display makes the experience smother and I love it. The battery life oh my gosh I love it, it can last me a whole entire day 5000mh is amazing and Samsung did amazing with it! Cameras now it's amazing I love the 100x zoom, I took many moon photos and they turn out amazing!

    Worth it for the camera alone!
    I had actually purchased this phone as an upgrade to my Note 9 in wants of capturing better quality family and lifestyle photos, and the step up in quality over the last few years is amazing! The ultra zoom is absolutely breathtaking and incredibly (how?!) to take pictures of the moon is a new commonplace, the zoom let's you go close enough that the moon takes up the whole screen! I was under the impression that I could expand the storage, however, so was disappointed to find that you are locked to the GBs that the phone came with... A bummer since this is capable of 4K+ Video which would fill it up fast along with the apps you have. So minus one star for that, but otherwise, love love love everything else about it!

    Great Performance!
    I bought the Samsung S21 Ultra 5G two months ago. This phone offers more than I had expected: be it the BEST camera, audio and video performance, processing speed, display quality, or other features, the S21 ultra has it all and more. I love it!

    Design is gorgeous
    I bought this 4 months ago and couldn't be happier I love the design, I got the silver version. The 5000 mah battery is more than enough to last through the day and night, especially if you switch to HD and standard refresh rate. The camera is gorgeous and the 100x space zoom is breathtaking.

    Excellent camera
    Ever since I had the S21 Ultra 5g, I started taking pictures. Now I wasn't a "take pictures everywhere I go", or even a" take selfies" kind of guy. But the S21 has made me into one, now I need to work on expanding my cloud just for more videos and pictures.

    Best Smartphone I've ever own.
    Had this phone since March and I'm still amazed by the fact that I always find something new about it. The design is a sight to behold, the cameras are extremely versatile, the performance is unparalleled, the overall experience has been great to me. This phantom silver s21 ultra solidifies my decision as a Samsung customer. Highly recommend.

    Best Samsung Galaxy, yet!
    I am one of those folks that tends to take sometime to upgrade things. But I have been a long-time Samsung follower since my first Samsung smart phone from 2011. I have been holding on to my Samsung S9+ for years and realized that it was time to upgrade. Typically Samsung comes out with new devices, often. So I waited but when I saw the S21 Ultra, I knew I has to make a move. So far, I love it! Like most quality Samsung model classes; the ultra feels great in my hand... though it took me awhile to get used to the screen being where the finger lock is and the giant fly eye cameras in the back. But once I got used to the feel, I have found that I am excited about using the phone, again. And taking lots of pictures! The pictures are amazing! And the apps, as of now, run smoothly. It's much easier to play games on it, too. If you are looking for something new and of quality, this has to be the best camera phone in the market.

    Good but not great
    I bought this phone during its release coming from an S9. The S21 Ultra digital zoom is magnificent for photography. Attached is a picture of the moon just using the zoom alone. I do have to note that, the zoom quality does deteriorate after 70x magnification with the stabilization failing and that's even on a tripod. The battery life isn't bad and phone functionality has been good. The ONE real disappointment I have is with no auxiliary port. Wireless buds are nice, but battery life for both bud and phone isn't great. Taking the phone out for a long run doesn't last more than 3 hours. If you do a long run or long hike, the device fails completely. I did a 5 hour marathon with the S9 and it still had about 40% battery because I was using wired headphones so this was one design flop for active people.
