Much earlier than ever, a company announced in mid-January the Galaxy S21 series, the three flagship phones that come with an all-new design with a stylish camera that blends into the phone's frame and the most powerful processor to date, which is the same as the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra.

The Galaxy S21 Ultra features Samsung's S Pen support for the first time in the S series, and comes with the most diverse camera system and the most advanced feature set overall.

The phone comes with a giant 5,000mAh battery, which is a remarkably large phone, significantly larger than the average size of anyone's hand. And as big as it is, it's also big on the price.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra price

Samsung opened the pre-order stage for the Galaxy S21 Ultra immediately after the phone was launched on January 14, while the actual release date of the device has been set for Friday, January 29.

The good news is that the prices of the Galaxy S21 Ultra start from only $ 1,200, which is equivalent to 18,800 Egyptian pounds and 4,500 Saudi riyals, but this is the price of the phone in major markets and is definitely subject to increase, much less than the price of the S20 Ultra last year of 1,400 dollars.

  • The price of the 128 GB version: 1200 dollars
  • The price of the 256 GB version: 1250 dollars
  • The price of the 512 GB version: 1380 dollars

Phone details

The phone comes with a 6.8-inch AMOLED display with a dynamic refresh rate from 10Hz to 120Hz that automatically changes depending on the content. For the first time in Galaxy series phones, you will be able to run the phone at a refresh rate of 120Hz along with the maximum resolution which is QHD. Samsung has also improved the brightness and contrast of the display, which is now the brightest with a peak of 1,500 nits and 50% better contrast than last year's model.

While S21 and . are available S21 Plus In quite a few bold new colours, the Ultra has been introduced in two rather muted colors: silver and black.

At least in most stores, while it's interesting, there are three other colors of the S21 Ultra that will be available exclusively on the company's official store, namely Brown, Titanium, and Navy. The phone features a Gorilla Glass Victus back for better resistance to scratches and bumps, and an aluminum frame that gives the phone an elegant look.

However, the design element that stands out the most is the giant camera bump protruding from the back and almost half of the back of the phone. Also, while the other two models feature flat screens, the screen on the Ultra is slightly curved which shows off the edges.

As for the rest of the specs, we have the power and volume keys on the right side of the phone, and there are no buttons on the left, luckily, there's no dedicated Bixby button either.

As we also expected, there is no headphone jack, while the speaker system consists of a bottom speaker and a second speaker located at the top of the phone. At the bottom, you'll find the USB-C port. The phone also features an IP68 rated waterproof protection just like iPhone 12.

It is the sheer size of the S21 Ultra that impresses, although the phone is not only larger in terms of width and height, it is also noticeably thicker than all the other phones, and its weight is rather heavy.

S Pen support

The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is the first Samsung S series phone to support the S Pen, but unlike the Galaxy Note family where the S Pen is inside the phone for easy access, here, you can't store it inside the phone because it comes with the phone package basically.

Instead, you have to buy the S Pen separately, and if you want to always keep it on hand, Samsung has revealed a new case and back cover that offers a special slot on the side for storing the S Pen.

Also, the S Pen that Samsung sells specifically for the S21 Ultra is slightly different than the one on the Note series, it's thicker, so it might actually be more comfortable to hold and use.

Instead of having a button on the top of the S Pen that you press to remove from Note phones, you need to pull the S Pen out of the S21 Ultra case.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra camera

The Ultra version also comes with a greatly improved camera with a quad rear camera.

The main camera comes with a resolution of 108MP, which is the next generation of that sensor that Samsung introduced with the S20 Ultra in 2020, and improvements in that sensor appear in two main areas, focus and low-light performance.

It's also paired with a wider lens than most other phones out there at 24mm versus the other 26mm lenses on other devices, meaning you'll get wider shots, and this sensor is especially useful for landscape photos for example.

But the Ultra camera's best feature is the optical zoom. You get not one telephoto sensor, but two lenses: a periscope sensor up to x3 and a telephoto periscope lens that supports real optical zoom up to 10x, a feature that gives the phone an edge over other phones.

In terms of video shooting, you can shoot 8K videos at 24 frames per second. You also have better video stabilization with Super Steady mode which works in 4K but not 8K videos.

Internal hardware

Under the hood, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is powered by the latest and greatest processors available: the versions that will arrive in America, China and Korea will be equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor, while the international version will run on Samsung's Exynos 2100.

It's important to know that Samsung seems to have caught up with Qualcomm and narrowed the gap between Exynos and Snapdragon processors, as Exynos processors have usually had the worst performance and least power consumption, and these days seem to be over with the latest Exynos processor.

As for the internal storage space, the lower version of the S21 Ultra comes with 128 GB, but the company has also announced a larger 256 GB model and even the mighty 512 GB model.

Interestingly, however, Samsung has abandoned the microSD card slot in all S21 series phones. Samsung was almost the only company that still supported microSD card slots, a solid feature appreciated by some, but that ended with the S21 series.

New improved fingerprint sensor

Samsung has also fixed one of the biggest complaints about its phones in recent years: a slow fingerprint sensor. The company used Qualcomm's first generation ultrasonic fingerprint scanner two years ago, even as newer, faster sensors have been adopted by other companies.

Fortunately, all S21 series phones come with the latest second generation Qualcomm 3D Sonic sensor which means 77% larger sensor size, 1.7 times more vital data is captured, and most importantly, 50% faster speed.

Just as a reminder, the size of the first generation sensor was only 4 x 9 mm, while the new sensor size is 8 x 8 mm.

Battery

Packed with a 5,000mAh battery and a more energy-efficient processor, the Galaxy S21 Ultra surely promises solid battery life.

So far, Samsung says that the battery in the Ultra will comfortably last the day, while it has been reported that both the S21 and S21 Plus can complete the day on a single charge, indicating that the Ultra actually has a longer battery life than the other two.

If you've followed the rumors, you probably already know that the S21 Ultra is coming without a charger in the box. This is indeed the case, as it only comes with a USB-C cable included in the box and you will need to purchase the charger separately.

Phone box contents

The S21 Ultra box does not contain a charger or wired headphones, which is something that has been rumored a lot for a while, but many did not believe it because Samsung mocked Apple when it removed the charger and wired headphones from the packages of the iPhone 12 series phones, but it seems that this will be the trend for the coming period, it will have to Users must purchase these extensions separately if they do not already own them.

Features of Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

  • Elegant and luxurious design gets all the praise due to the durability and quality of the materials used along with the great aesthetic appearance المظهر

  • S-Pen support so you don't have to buy Note phones specifically to try the beloved pen القلم

Phone defects

  • The size of the phone is rather heavy in addition to being thick, it is very difficult to use it with one hand
  • There is no option to expand the internal storage space, and with the large size of the video files captured with the camera, it is very difficult to buy the 128 GB version
  • gyro-EIS video stabilization only works in 4K videos
  • There is no charger included and no wired headphones, this is what Apple has done previously and we certainly do not praise it, but we say that it is difficult to buy a phone that may cost up to 1500 dollars in some markets alone without any other accessories except an orphan cable.
