Review on Smartphone Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G 12/128 GB RU, phantom black by Adam Kowalski ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I expected mediocre quality, but the product was pleasantly surprised.

After six months of owning the device, I'll write a little bit about my thoughts. When they handed out Buds Pro and wireless charging for three devices, I purchased it from the official web store. The smartphone was chosen as a replacement for the Note 8, whose battery entirely expired after 2.5 years of use and whose initial tiny size meant that replacing it would not much improve the issue. I don't mind dimensions or cameras that look like holes. I still prefer the sharper edges of the Note series screen more, despite the fact that the screen and dimensions of the Note 9 are substantially larger than those of the Note 8. Despite the fact that the side bevels are less obvious, I still choose rounded screens. I prefer them more in terms of both appearance and feel. The primary wow effect came from 120Hz; after this smoothness, it was difficult to gaze at 60Hz and the previous Note 8 models. I enjoy One UI and find it convenient, and the rest of the design was comparable. Cameras: While the primary camera did not perform any miracles for me, it did encounter some issues due to my own expectations. The camera zoom is a very helpful feature, and I use it frequently, but it's important to note that regular use is only achievable in excellent illumination; otherwise, it simply crops the main module (although I also liked the results of 10x in night mode). With the Note 8, there wasn't enough width, but I eventually got it. I'm just pleased with the outcomes because there is nothing to compare them to. He takes pretty noisy footage in the dark, which I didn't enjoy. I find the situation to be relatively uncommon, but it is nonetheless unfortunate. The battery in the Note 8 is sufficient for the entire day, so you won't need to carry a can with you all the time. My primary issue is with communication. It simply freezes me and seems to function much worse than my Note 8 does. I continuously have to flick the toggle switch to airplane mode so that it expands and begins downloading things rather than displaying bogus 4g + with an arrow to return. Sim card switching is ineffective. Every time, you anticipate that the new software will make things better, but for some reason, nothing changes.

Pros
  • - design - maximum resolution of 3200x1440 at 120Hz the battery zoom in the camera, performance
Cons
  • - Video quality in dimly lit areas - repulsive cellular connection, at least on Exynos-equipped models fingerprint reader (dry finger does not recognize at all, at least kill yourself) - Discarding MST technology (rarely used, but sometimes helped a lot) - the pulse sensor's removal (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)
