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

For most buyers, the Galaxy S21 Ultra will be too much phone for too much money. Like the iPhone 12 Pro Max, it's very big and heavy, and it will set you back a bundle of dough. If you're the least bit cautious about what your spend, this isn't the phone...

Abstract: Samsung's Galaxy S21 Ultra is its third attempt at an 'Ultra-sized' device, following on from last year's S20 Ultra and Note 20 Ultra, and this giant handset now looks like a mainstay of its flagship range. It completely dwarfs the standard and 'plus' mo...
Xiaomi Mi 11 is (almost) half the price, Lacks microSD expansion, No charger in the box
The Samsung S21 is a fabulous smartphone and it comes packed with everything you could possibly want from a flagship. However, with a four-figure cost that zooms past its already-expensive rivals, it's a tough sell, especially during the current period of...

No charger may irk some, Loss of microSD slot, It's big, Price
The 'pros and cons' list at the start of this review should have been an early indicator of how picky we had to be to find any notable faults with the Galaxy S21 Ultra. Provided you're already aware of the product line's reputation for big screens and hig...
Wacom pen tech, Excellent camera zoom, Benchmark screen quality
