100x Space Zoom still feels like a gimmick

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

Abstract: This year, the Galaxy S21 series came earlier than expected, and it brought a slew of changes. The Galaxy S21 and S21+ now feature lower-res OLEDs, no microSD expansion, and no chargers in the box. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S21 Ultra is what the original Ultr...
At $1,199 / £1,149, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra needs to be excellent, and it is. Powerful internals, a class-leading 10x zoom and a number of fun value adds, not least of all S Pen support give it some standout charm. The 108 MP main camera isn't always...

The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G starts at Rs 1,05,999 for the 12GB variant I tested, with the 16GB RAM SKU retailing for Rs 1,16,999 in the country. I won’t beat around the bush at all – paying upwards of Rs one lac for a phone is too rich for my blood and I’m assuming a lot of prospective buyers will feel the same too.
