The editors didn't like
Uneven weight distribution
No expandable storage
Purple-sky effect in lowlight scenarios
Big and heavy
No MicroSD card slot
Ad-riddled Software
Cheaper but still expensive
Pricey
No charger or microSD card
A bit bulky
Heavy
Slightly disappointing battery life
No charger in the box
Large phone is large
Not suitable for everyone
Doesn't support fast charging (25W max)
S Pen supported
But not included in box
No MST with Samsung Pay
No micro SD card slot
No microSD
No Samsung Pay MST
And slower charging than the S20 Ultra
100x Space Zoom still feels like a gimmick
S Pen implementation feels half-hearted
I still find the animations and general layout of One UI to be clunky and overstuffed. And the settings app is a nightmare for finding anything. Also
The phone advertises to you. Gross
Even with a $200 cut compared to the last phone
This phone is still
It's heavy
Lacks a microSD card slot
$1
200 is still expensive
Still big and bulky to carry and use
Especially with an S Pen case on
$1200 gets you just 128GB
No charger
Earbuds
Or memory card
The new ultrasonic finger scanner is still comparatively slow

A better Successor to the S20 Ultra, A different Multi setup camera, Flagship Performance, Good Software support with constant updates so far, Love the S Pen support and keeping it optional
It maybe expensive to some, The S21 and Plus Variant is still the best go to for mass users
