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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good value for money, I recommend it.

I'll write a little about my impressions after six months of owning the device. I took it through the official online store, when they gave Buds Pro and wireless charging for 3 devices as a gift. The smartphone was taken as a replacement for Note 8, in which the battery completely died after 2.5 years of use, and replacing it would not change the situation much, because. it is initially small. Dimensions and cameras in the form of a hole do not bother me. Compared to the Note 8, the screen and dimensions are noticeably larger, but I still like the sharper edges of the Note series screen more. The side bevels have become less noticeable, but I'm still among the people who prefer rounded screens. Both aesthetically and tactilely I like them more. The main wow effect was from 120Hz - after this smoothness, it was hard to look at the usual 60Hz and the old Note 8. The rest of the interface was similar, I like One UI and find it convenient. Cameras: I did not get any miracle from the main camera, but there were problems of my own expectations. The camera zoom is a very useful thing and I use them often, but it’s worth saying that their normal use is possible only in good lighting, otherwise it just crops from the main module (although I also liked the results of 10x in night mode). There was not enough width on Note 8 and finally I got it. There is nothing to compare with, so I'm just happy with the results. I didn’t like how he shoots video in the dark - a very noisy picture. For me, the scenario is quite rare, but still a shame. The battery after Note 8 is enough for the whole day and you don’t have to always run with a can. Communication is my main complaint. It just freezes me and feels like it works even worse than my Note 8. I constantly have to pull the airplane mode toggle switch so that it swells up and starts downloading something, and not showing fictitious 4g + with an arrow just to return. Changing sim cards doesn't help. Every time you hope that with the new software it will be better, but somehow it doesn’t get any better.

Pros
  • - design - 120Hz at maximum resolution of 3200x1440 - battery - camera zoom - performance
Cons
  • - video quality in low light - disgusting cellular connection, at least on models with Exynos - fingerprint sensor (dry finger does not recognize at all, at least kill yourself) - removal of MST technology (rarely used, but sometimes helped a lot) - removal of the pulse sensor (it would be useful in the current covid times, but it was removed after the 10th series) - removal of the retinal scanner (with the constant requirements of being in a mask, it made it possible to unlock the phone and make a payment using SPay; in winter it was also very convenient, and now it’s either a fingerprint or a PIN)
