Watched this on my S21 Ultra, the biggest thing not mentioned here that I love is being able to take excellent photos of the moon anytime, anywhere. By no means something I needed but it sure is a fun feature. I came from a Galaxy J3 Star and this phone was indescribably amazing, the camera is so versatile, the screen is so perfect, and the design is the best to date I have 0 complaints.
Watching this on my new samsung s21 ultra. All i can say is, i'm loving it. 😊
Sana all
🤘✋ me too!
Same here!
And how about pictures in lower light conditions? Dont you loose the focus? Have u tried?
me too
The B-Roll shots look so crispy! Nice job!
The waterfall....Or snow? In the background of Josh is beautiful
Love your video Michael. One suggestion -- I was "watching" this video while driving (that is, listening to the audio via Bluetooth to my car), and couldn't help but notice that there are a lot of audio sound effects while changing photos. After a while, listening to all of that "whooshing" gets a bit tiring. Perhaps you can tone down the audio transition effects a little in the future?
Excellent review, liking the background music 🎶as well! Good job!
I am loving the Samsung S21 ultra..brilliant cameras and very fast especially the 16GB 512GB overkill version 👌
Did yours overheating?
@@stanleywong9941 No had no issues with anything like that 👌👌👌
I like your use of the 👌 emoji
@@stanleywong9941 your brain must overheats 🤦♂️ stop complaining
My Note 9 is also a 512GB version with an expandable storage of up to 1TB. I guess overkill is an understatement here.
Watching on my S21 Ultra 5G from Smart 😊
Were you able to redeem the freebies?
Great music and excellent review!
I can’t give up my Note 20 Ultra. The internal S-Pen, MST, Bluetooth S-Pen features, SD card, and up to 1 terabyte more storage is just too much.
fabulous comparison/review! Way to go! 💗💗💗✌
Always love watching you
My S21 Ultra should arrive mid week. I am upgrading from an LG Optimus T with a 3.2" screen, I think it was about 2011 when I got it. One camera at 3.1 MP, Android 2.2, and 2 GB storage.I expect to be blown away when I get it.
Trust me You will be blown away. The Screen is Phenomenal !!! Note: it will take a few days to get use to it coming from a much smaller screen, It can be a little heavy in the pocket at times. Congrats on your purchase.
Watching this on my s 21 love the size and weight
This is a really nice review thank you so much for your hard work this is incredible I really like how you put this together keep up the great work
I stopped getting notifications for your videos for long time !!
i have the ultra and i'm really in love with the display 💖
comming from an old midrange Huawei phone.
All reviews I seen for this phone so far are great.phone is a beast!great job samsung 💪🏽👍🏽💪🏽👍🏽💪🏽👍🏽💪🏽👍🏽💪🏽👍🏽
I hope that they smoothen the transition of the cameras like the iPhone
That and work on the fact that they STILL have the worst motion blur of any camera. FIX THAT DAMN SHUTTER SPEED SAMSUNG.
Huawei,google it's the same the transition is not too good...
I don't know why android phones can't do it
@@Ian-ty6zh can you do it for them
@@whysoserious4464 sure why not but for me since we are paying 1000+ dollars it should have it already
you guys are so underrated, hope u hit that 1M subs soon
why are you not having tons of viewwwwss. your reviews and videos are greaaat~~~
I agree. Subscribed.
Too late on the review. The big boys get theirs much earlier - it's the same whatever the genre of review.
Another phenomenonal video Michael! Great job! I also prefer the S21/+ do to the size.
Im so glad i found you ❤
I just ordered my 512 gb s21 ultra..shifting from note8
This is the Best Smartphone in the World Yay 🙌🙌🙌
The phone is really as great as they say? took moon shots?
@@sirhborn yes bro The camera is just mind blowing I upgraded from S9+ and its just amazing..and the moon shots 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
@@muhammadahsanbari6440 🤔I'm using a note 8,so looking to upgrade. But kinda on the fence,no SD holder might have me waiting? I like what I'm hearing about it..
What u said is true 🙌
@@muhammadahsanbari6440 how does the both device compare in terms of physical dimensions and how both fit in pant pocket
Hi Michael Josh.. You are my favorite reviewer.. The best..
I am watching this video with my S21 Ultra back phantom... and yes this phone it's a Beast !!! loved ..
Great reviews
Watching on my phantom titanium s21 ultra. Keep up the good work. 👏
Great video as always. Seem everyone forgot about the S21+ but guess it doesn't offer much difference from the S21
Love the oriental feels of the bg music coupled with the samurai bun. Our boi is really upping his game.
Best smartphone in 2021 to buy!
Hey you got a haircut! I was looking for those bangs 😉
That snow background looks wild
I love your review keep it up
I got the Phantom Brown one, Definitely with the wait
Watching this from my iphone 12 pro max ... nice video
Watching on my Phantom Black. The display is 🔥🔥🔥
Got my S21 Ultra and enjoying it!!!
I like your new hair style! Cool 😎
Watching this from my s21 ultra. Aside from the fast battery drain I am pretty happy overall. It is the best .
I thought it's 2 days worth as per video. That's sad
No fast battery drain for me. Snapdragon model at least.
First time watching the channel. New subscriber! I'm not the normal person, being visually impaired. But I picked up the S21 Ultra because I use the zoom lenses to help me see things in everyday life. In addition, having a screen with high resolution AND super smooth motion rate is lovely. Yo top it all off, great battery life makes living with this phone easy. Great review!
I am visually impaired as well and just switched from from a mate 20x
It was actually a larger screen and more enjoyable to watch content but the camera wasn't a hundred times zoom just 30 which was still very good.
Cool.
@gadgetmatch Michael Josh I have the note 20 ultra...and love it. I am waiting for the note 21 ultra which I pray Samsung comes with. Yes the S21 ultra is a great phone but why pay extra for an s-pen that doesn't carry the same features as the note. From day one when I got my note 20 ultra I was using the s-pen. Now with the S21 ultra you have place an additional order for the s-pen.
its no overkill its just the perfect phone for me atleqst
I have the exynos ultra and it is very good. Good battery , no overheating and very good performance!
Best photo shot on portrait mode ..
Try comp. Between main cam and portrait com..
It takes years before we expect another video upload. 😑
great review, I have the note 10+, totally not interested in the S20 U or N20 U, but this S21 U is much better. Just cant decide if I should wait until the S21 Pro (or blu tooth Spen) is actually coming to the market ???
You're so good.... My favourite
Are you gonna have a review for S21+ and Galaxy Watch 3? Thanks.
I’ve just sold my S21 Ultra, coz the battery life was very poor. I had to charge it twice a day... I had higher expectations from 5000mAh battery...
Love the oriental music in the background
Watching it on my S21 Ultra. It's an *almost* perfect smartphone. Almost no cons, for me, at least.
How do you make BOLD words?
Like *This*
Hit *Bold* on your keyboard
Use asterisks in front and after the word you want to make bold. *like_this*
I know it now
I'm assuming this was a review on the Snapdragon model? I briefly tried and exynos one (before returning it) and the battery life and camera quality were definitely nowhere close to what was described in this video, so I'm surprised!
For me the snapdragon was the same returned it and went back to my note 20 U. Also tried that case with the S pen and it’s extremely ugly and uncomfortable to hold. This is not a full day work phone even with a 5000 mA battery. The background drain and the 120hz and 5g will kill the battery. I would be lucky to get 4.5 hours of SOT.
@@rahullulay man, then what is happening here then, are we just unlucky? I don't understand why the reviews are so positive and the actual phone seems to have pretty erratic behaviour from user to user. I initially thought it was just the Exynos model as I've had issues with that as well in the past, but I didn't realize the Snapdragon also had issues for some.
@@michaelm.3477 I noticed more issues after the feb update that was rolled out to fix camera issues. Also for me Android auto was broken from the beginning not sure what the issue was but when connected to my audi q7 2018 it would charge but android auto would never launch and if did it would revert back. I even tried different cables same behavior. Works fine on my note 10 plus and note 20 ultra. Could be bad batches of phones or just luck. Will hold on to the note 20 U for now and maybe look into z fold 3 if they kill the note line this year.
@@rahullulay yeah I switched also, to Xiaomi for now since I got a great deal on the Mi 10 Ultra.
@@rahullulay Wow tgat's crazy. I haven't gotten less than 6 hours SOT on my S21 Ultra on network. I've seen 9 on wifi but there's a definitely and power drain issue in standby because I leave my house at 5:20 am and I arrive to work around 7. Without even turning the screen on I've already lost 5-7 percent battery life. My iPhone or Pixel device would still be at 99-100%. I wanted to see if I could turn 5g off but for some reason I don't have that option on At&t.
Hi, any suggestions boss? S21ultra has the same price with s23 the small one... Which camera is much better?
Is it worth upgrading from note 10 plus?
Sir, please make a unboxing or hands on video on a32 or a52 5g Samsung phone...
Please can you review the s21 plus 🙏
Can I have the link to that really cool looking wallpaper on the S 21 ultra? Thanks
superb
I had to wait almost 5 weeks for my Phantom navy ultra but definitely worth the wait,im really happy with the phone.
Mine comes 12/26
I bought the Ultra and have had it now for a week and a half. I love it.
Where to get the wallpaper.
I went with s21 ultra and so far so good
How about the s21+ is that a good phone to get
Watching this on my S21 Ultra 5G 🙏🏾
I just can’t give up my Note 20 Ultra.
Only if it had expendable storage or the option of 1TB of internal storage...
Is this the Exynos variant?
I have the S21 ultra and the iPhone 11 Pro Max.
Speaking subjectively, barring the zoom quality, the iPhone still takes better photos in my experience. There is far more naturally resolved detail in photos without resorting to oversharpening. That is a key difference many don’t realise or don’t look into. The Samsung’s photos look “sharper” but in reality, upon zooming in, there is compression artifacts, upscaling issues from the 12 MP nona binned shots vs 108 MP, overexposure clearly evident. Skin tones still remain better on this two and a half year old phone than the latest S21 U and video is simply no comparison. No android phone comes close to the video quality on the iPhone. Apple is simply two generations ahead of the competition n in this regard.
maybe but i really hope that apple fixes the white balance on iphone
on grey weather the photo is blue on iphone and sometimes it takes yellow balance photos
i know becouse i have a 11 pro max too
Just curious Josh, after having reviewed both Samsung and Apple high end mobile phones, what’s your Gadget Match?
You don't have to ask. He's an iPhone fanboy
Hadir mas!
Watching this on my Samsung Galaxy S2 hehehe
Was it SNOWING in the background?! Where is this guy? That SUX, I HATE (the cold & wetness of) SNOW!
I have this phone, had it for just over a week now, I LOOOOVVVVE this phone! The CAMS are freakin AWESOME! 💕💕😍😍
Thanks for this knowledegable review micheal josh...MANBUN is real haha 💝💝
That “To Do” App 🤫🤭
I luv the phantom black but i got the silver one but still good for me
Watching this on my Phantom Navy S21 Ultra
The black one is slick.
Watching this video on my Gorgeous Black Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra Exynos version
Buying this Leviathan this christmas.
1:39 the fact that Samsung used a stainless steel frame on the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra which to my felt more premium
Which one is your choice 21 ultra or iphone 12 pro max
I Loved my S21 Ultra So much I bought a second one w/256 gb. So now I've got one in each color of the base models! There's no way I was going to wait 4 wks for 1 no matter how bad ass it was!
I've noticed most reviewers skip showing/reviewing night mode shots taken using the 3x and 10x lenses. They're bad. The camera system has a glitch. In night mode for some reason when you use the 3x lens, the software uses the primary lens and zooms digitally, and likewise for the 10x zoom, the software uses the 3x lens to zoom in digitally instead of using the 3x and 10x lenses respectively. Hope Samsung rectifies this soon.
Please Compare Pixel 5 vs Iphone 12 pro Camera.
Is that exynos or snapdragon
Sensible non-partisan consumers will wait and see what the competition comes out with especially if you are paying $1250 (256gb). I certainly expect some compelling devices to arrive soon that will easily undercut the s21U in price, and will offer as much if not more, so remember it is in a vacuum at the moment as it is the only SD888 phone released so far outside China.
Having seen the Mi11Ultra specs I am tempted by the Global version but the OP9P is also due soon along with the P50Pro. I would prefer any of these over the s21U mainly due to Exynos being omnipresent in my region.
Did you got the Snapdragon or the Exynos version?
xiaomi mi 11 plz
Is there anyone having a problem with their s21 ultra when use camera heating issue? lowlight issue battery issue ?
Tbh I was kinda worried I would regret getting the s21 ultra coming from an s10 plus but im happy to say the s21 ultra is a brilliant brick 😂
Using an s10 plus and wanna know how much of an improvement is the 21 ultra over the plus?
Can't believe it doesn't have SD card slot!!
I guess I'm going to hang on to my Note 20 Ultra 5G
My phone ❤️
Pls review Xiaomi mi 11
The battery!!! The screen!!!
I like your hair style.
My winter cap is muffling my ears. Did he say two days battery?
Watching these, a year later from my new S21U. Amazing and agreed with everything except battery life. Cannot get it to last over 20 hours and 5 hrs screen on.
That's disappointing. I just ordered one. SOT is one of my most important consideration. I should've followed my first impuls and bought the ROG Phone.
I briefly had the Xiaomi 11t Pro, that phone had an incredible battery and charge time.
@@kewlztertc5386 I considered Xiaomi, but their bugs are just out of hand, man. They can't make all of their 300 devices released in 2022 to operate the way they should.
@@NeoKyoKusanagi I had no bugs, I loved the 11t Pro. Granted I only had it for 4 days. But I thoroughly put it through its paces.
Only bug I discovered, was switching from its default tiled "Recent" menu, to standard Android Recents. That didn't work, and forced me to use the tiles.
Otherwise, not one option did I not explore, and it worked great.
The battery life and super charging, was mind blowing.
And it sounded good!
While using the camera the phone gets heated up n shows the warning of overheating. Is any s21 ultra user facing the same issues?
I am experiencing same using the exynos version
Ultra for me....💚💚
