Editors Rating: 8/10
108MP camera is capable of great photos
More affordable than last year s flagship phone
Potent performance and long battery life
S Pen functionality is a welcome addition from Galaxy Note
Cons
100x Space Zoom still feels like a gimmick
S Pen implementation feels half-hearted
Samsung’s Galaxy S21 Ultra is more affordable than last year’s flagship, has more cameras, and adds an S Pen: on paper, at least, what’s not to love? Setting the bar for smartphones in 2021, the daddy of the currently three-strong Galaxy S21 family promises more of that monstrously effective Samsung recipe: heap on the features until there really is something for everyone. Still, for all its merits, it’s difficult not to see the Galaxy S21 Ultra as the evolutionary pinnacle of a species set to be replaced.
