Review on Factory Unlocked Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G Android Phone with 128GB Storage by Bambang ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Average product, you can do better.

Comments on the first two shortcomings, I think, are unnecessary. Shame. The camera block has a mirror polished edge, with very sharp edges. In everyday use, chips and scratches will instantly appear there. You need to immediately put your phone in a case. The black color at the start looks advantageous, but under the black paint is bare aluminum; surface defects will be immediately obvious and noticeable. By tradition, software (camera software) at the start of the curve was also with the 20th line, in which the camera software was finalized with only 3-4 ates. Inadequate work of the scene optimizer, limited dynamic range; black crush in the shadows. Head-to-head comparison with S20+ (I have both devices) contrast scene on the main camera, s20+ captures more details in bright colors. Crooked portrait mode: by default, the photo is taken from the crop of the main sensor (with tiny pixels) = low detail and high noise. Why not made on the basis of a threefold zoom? Not logical. Advertising in the Weather app; advertising in the Galaxy Store app. Uninstallable Samsung Free app. Transferring data via USB to USB from an old phone (S20+) took about 2 hours (about 45 GB of data). The Bluetooth communication range has become 1.5-2 times less (Watch Active 2 began to lose connection within the apartment; on the S20 + there was a confident reception everywhere). Autonomy (QHD, adaptive 120 Hz) is the same as on my old S20 + (I don’t play games) = about 1 day (4-5 hours of screen, LTE / Wi-Fi about 50/50%). When recording video on a 3x camera, the phone sometimes switches from a 3x sensor to a crop of the main one, in order to maintain the same magnification that appears in the soapy picture. The "Video Stabilization" checkbox turns on light digital stabilization (in addition to constantly working optical), which leads to jerks and artifacts in the video. The April ate improved the Bt coverage radius, but brought non-removable applications. I will ate the review when I have something to say.

Pros
  • + Screen; + Spectacular design (which is also a disadvantage - see below); + A factory protective film is pasted (very good), the same as glued on the S20 line; + Fingerprint is faster and more accurate (but not 2x).
Cons
  • - Huge official price; - The notorious thoughtless imitation of one well-known company in terms of "concern for the environment" (lack of charging, headphones and memory cards); - Crooked software at the start of sales; - Abundance of self-promotion in internal services; - Non-removable branded and third-party applications; - Slow data transfer over the wire through the proprietary Smart Switch application; - After 5 months of operation, the screen failed - it just went out. Replacement under warranty. Exactly the same defect was at one time on the S7 edge.
