Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G Smartphone SIM Free Android Mobile Phone Phantom Silver 128GB, (UK Version)

Product Information

Like Samsung, the hardware on offer is top-notch but due to Huawei’s ongoing trade spat with the US government, it doesn’t run the officially supported version of Android. The curved edges are subtle on the S21 Ultra, and not quite as pronounced as on past Samsung devices, and that means fewer errant presses. However, wireless charging isn't quite as fast as a wired charger, so you may want to consider getting a wired charger if you want to get the most out of your wireless device. We noticed that the Galaxy S21 Ultra camera offers improved dynamic range in outdoor photos (see photos with a bright sky and darker buildings) over its predecessors, and Samsung now offers 12-bit raw files for greater flexibility when editing. It has vibrant colours, very high peak brightness, high pixel-per-inch count and a super-smooth refresh rate at 120 Hz.

With an attractive new design, powerful the Exynos 2100 chip and a larger display, the S21 will not disappoint the power users. The battery life is good, the only minus point is that the phone takes a bit longer to fully charge. It wowed us with a huge screen, five cameras and the best zoom on any readily available Android phone. You can also fast wirelessly charge at up to 15W, and reverse wirelessly charge those Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro or anything that Qi-charges.So, whether you're looking for a battery-only device to enjoy a full day of activity, or a device to get through a short trip, the Galaxy S21 Ultra is one of the best all-rounder phones on the market right now.

It neatly slots into the inner spine of the case and feels secure there, so you'll want a Galaxy S21 Ultra case for more than protection. It’s the S21 Ultra’s 10x and 3x optical zoom levels that nailed the photos we wanted every time – more than any other smartphone telephoto camera. The Galaxy S21 series is faster for two reasons: it marks the debut of brand-new chipsets, and the software has been streamlined just a bit, with the ever-evolving OneUI 3.With such a fantastic screen and an amazing setup of cameras, we highly recommend boosting up your data limits to 20GB+ or Unlimited. The rear ones are a 108 MP wide, 12 MP ultra-wide, 10 MP 3x and a 10 MP 10x telephoto with laser autofocus next to them. Samsung's newer version of the S21 Ultra has pretty similar specs but one massive change: the S Pen stylus fits within the body, making it a core part of the experience. The Exynos 2100 is also a big leap over the Exynos 990, which was also a new high-end SoC for the Galaxy S series.

In the Geekbench 5 CPU test, the Galaxy S21 Ultra’s Exynos 2100 matched the single-core performance of its predecessor, the Exynos 990, found inside the S20 Ultra. It performed flatly in the volume and spatial tests, although it did show some distortion on shouting voices. Another feature is the Side Key, which allows you to quickly access your favorite apps on the side of the screen. But it’s the new Director’s View mode that caught our eye this year: you can capture video with both the front and back cameras simultaneously.Though you can use any old Note stylus with your phone, we appreciated the fact the new S Pen is larger and easier to grasp than the toothpick-sized Note S Pen. The camera set up also includes a 100x 'space zoom' so you can get in closer to action than ever before. The inclusion of microSD slots always made it easier for us to recommend Samsung over Apple when things were neck-and-neck, as you could go for the lower storage size and upgrade later.
