The Galaxy S21 Ultra is launching earlier than we’d anticipated, and that’s good news if you’re due for an upgrade and want the best of everything that Samsung can pack into an Android phone. Its five cameras, 108MP sensor, and 100x zoom offer more photo variety than an iPhone 12 Pro Max, while its 6.8-inch screen, 16GB of RAM, and new S Pen support make the phone feel like a mini-tablet.The Galaxy S21 Ultra is Samsung’s vision of smartphone excess, with five cameras, a 108MP sensor, two telephotos cameras, 100x zoom, 5G, up to 16GB of RAM, and S Pen stylus support – all packed into a single Android phone with a 6.8-inch 120Hz Quad HD display.
This is the first new Android phone we’ve tested in 2021, along with the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21 Plus, and it sets the bar high. Samsung has retooled the autofocus of its camera system to remedy the problems we had with last year’s Galaxy S20 Ultra, tweaked the specs and features for faster performance, and comes in at a significantly cheaper launch price. It’s still mighty expensive to buy the S21 Ultra for most consumers – more than the iPhone 12 Pro Max even – but Samsung is offering a larger, brighter, and more capable curved screen, 10x optical camera zoom (vs 3x), and stylus support, something Apple has yet to do on any iPhone. Depending on what’s important to you, Samsung may be offering more value for your money.
What’s the catch? We started out by saying that the S21 Ultra is Samsung’s vision of excess. You’ll have to let go of what doesn’t fit into the company’s new roadmap. Gone is the microSD card slot for expandable storage, and you won’t find a charger inside the box. Like Apple before it, Samsung is citing e-waste as the reason this power brick is no longer included. If you just got over the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack in smartphones, brace yourself for more change. But all of the positives of the Samsung S21 Ultra offers to outweigh any minor discomfort for a phone that should land on our best phone page after further testing Samsung has set the Galaxy S21 Ultra release date for Friday, January 29 2021 after the phone was unveiled on January 14. Pre-orders for the handset are now live in the US, UK, and Australia.
The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra price is high, especially when compared to the cheaper-than-expected Samsung Galaxy S21, but it’s notably cheaper than the Galaxy S20 Ultra was at launch. The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra price starts at $1,199 / £1,149 / AU$1849 for a version with 128GB of storage and 12GB of RAM. There are also 256GB and 512GB of storage variants with that largest model sporting 16GB of RAM, but we’ve yet to hear exact pricing for those. Last year’s Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra was a good deal more expensive than this handset is at launch, particularly in the US, with the same 128GB / 12GB variant costing $1,399 / £1,199 / AU$1,999 when it went on sale.
While it is notably cheaper, this is still a very expensive smartphone – and for many, it will simply be too expensive. If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative, the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21 Plus are both solid options, but the specs aren’t as high as this device. The S21 Ultra features a dull matte finish in two colors: Phantom Black and Phantom White. Whichever you choose, the finish is a significant improvement over last year’s S20 series, which had a reflective sheen that looked a little plastic and cheap.
The Ultra lives up to its name as a smartphone that’s big where it needs to be, yet it minimizes everything you don’t want to see. For example, while the 6.8-inch display stretches your hand, the curved edge-to-edge screen virtually eliminates bezel, and the aperture for the 40MP front camera is a tiny punch hole that’s easy to ignore when watching a video. Samsung’s new, redesigned in-screen fingerprint sensor is making its debut on the Galaxy S21 series, and Samsung touts that it’s both faster to unlock your phone and also larger than before, so easier to hit. We need to do more testing to see just how fast it is, and how forgiving it is of our often wayward thumb placement.
The S21 Ultra display gets incredibly bright – up to 1,500 nits bright – and that’s going to be important when your phone is in direct sunlight (when we get to go outside again). A lot of flagship phones, including the iPhone 12 and even the Galaxy S21 and S21 Plus, top out at 1,200 nits.
You’ll want a Galaxy S21 Ultra case for more than protection. There’s a folio case that holds a special S Pen – which is larger and more comfortable to hold than the one that tucks inside of the body of Galaxy Note phones – and it’s sold separately. Exactly what you do with the stylus without buying this folio case is currently unclear, but it neatly slots into the inner spine of the folio case and feels secure there.
