GALAXY S21 ULTRA: Unboxing and First Look!

Buy Galaxy S21 Ultra: shop-links.co/173064236928026...
We're a little late to the party (thanks, Samsung!), but that won't stop us. Our Galaxy S21 Ultra has arrived fresh from the warehouse and we're ready to dive straight in. Our full review is on the way, but we need to start things off right with a proper unboxing. We'll unbox the phone, go over the lack of contents in the box, recap the specs, and even give you a few first things to do. Official 'First Things to Do' and 'Tips & Tricks' are on the way, though!
Happy 2021, everybody!

bixby not just an assistant, so yeah a lot people use bixby routines and bixby alarm.

[@WK23]

Is there a screen protector preinstalled on it?

I think for videos sake, the light mode would be better

Samsung stripped this thing of everything that made the S series unique, but still demand a premium price.

[@stillincali3611]

I don’t know how people dare to buy an android smartphone over 200 dollars! Especially with the two years update policy. That’s why I prefer Apple!

[@x.XKillSwitchX.x]

I use the Bixby key (not the power key) as a shortcut for launching another app

[@joshmatt4625]

Does it come with a pre installed screen protector after you take the protective flim??

[@LilBoi1da]

Nope mine didn't have it

[@sriram7935]

I thought every S21 Ultra phone comes with pre installed screen protector. Surprised to know that your S21 Ultra didn't come with it. Pre-ordered and still waiting for my S21 Ultra

[@FSN1977]

So the cabel is type-c to type-c..then we need a new cabel if we want to connect to the pc...

[@IAmAPhan]

Your computer doesn't have a USB-C port.. you need a new one. Or just get a 3 dollar adapter.

[@JesseGuthrieSF]

there was an Android security update on first use.

[@cousinchris5851]

Samsung's persistent investment in bixby is the reason they no longer include headphones or a charger. I wish I can remap the double tap for Google assistant.

[@simesimicevic8713]

You can...

[@cherylpalmer8276]

Should i get the S21 smaller on oor the bigger one

[@phillippugh2161]

so tell me why you have a google pixel in the foreground alone side the power house s21 and the note 20 ultra . At this point google has no place with phones like the galaxy FE out. now that most skins are getting so good now with way more features one UI 3.1 is the one

When you buy your own phone, then you can freely express your opinion. Your viewers know you are not under Samsung’s influence.

Oh man really?! That was my biggest feature I was gonna miss. Also coming from a pixel

[@Mogamishu]

Can someone tell me if the S21 Ultra is capable of recording HDR video in 4K 60 fps? With the previous S20 series you had to choose between HDR or 60 fps when recording 4K video. Hopefully the S21 Ultra can do both at the same time.

[@simesimicevic8713]

You dan do 8k 24 FPS or 4k 60

[@hernandojimenez5102]

Good review, never the less, this phone is no Note 9 a true flagship that just about had everything included such as an expandable memory, a very quick and RELIABLE rear finger print scanner, headphone jack and a built in s-pen ; in addition the phone is too thick and looses elegance. The bottom line is that this phone is bit faster, has an excellent display with a large screen , a better camera, but not by much compared to the Note 9, it's also severely limited in storage, it looks good but is too FAT and HEAVY for my taste, overall this phone is a step back compared to the older Note 9. Samsung, loyalty is a two way street and I have you on probation, no battery charger included, WTF, no excuse!)

[@Tony_A_441]

Is anyone going to get anything other than Phantom black? I mean it looks great but be nice to see something different. But I’ll just do a KZbin search and stop complaining lol 🙃

[@Alexander0189]

I’m getting the silver 😃😃😃 but I’m not a reviewer 😆 I personally think the silver looks much better

[@mcdonsco]

Many, myself included, have been waiting a LONG TIME for the matte black everything flagship (heck, wish the frame was matte black too)...there are a number of video reviews on youtube though with the silver one.

@@mcdonsco ye that's cool :) I've just never been a fan of black phones really but to be fair... If Samsung hadn't released a silver I would have happily had the black one of the ultra because I do really like the finish anyway

[@goofycoolguy]

One plus for Bixby, if you damaged your digitizer and lose touch, since bixby can fully control your device you could still use it with your voice using bixby. Now that the S Pen digitizer is installed (behind the LCD) on the S21 Ultra you can just use a S Pen if touch goes out.

[@simesimicevic8713]

Yea that saved me when i broke my s9 plus screen while 100 miles from home. I could listen to music and male calls. Now i am waiting my s21 u :)

[@edvedder7835]

Samsung. So much crap. Keep it clean.

[@tabs7plusisboss246]

Samsung should be ashamed of themselves ripping off customers with these useless offerings. No MST on Samsung Pay in the United States, No sdcard support on no S21 models, No charger, No headphones, poor 1080p displays on the S21 and S21Plus, poor unboxing experience (NOSALE). I look forward to extremely poor sales on S21 models which Samsung deserves this isn't 2015 when they did the same sdcard bullshit to the Note5 and S6EdgePlus. Poor sales means they won't fuck with the Note21Ultra or Fold3 come September.

[@simesimicevic8713]

Well.. S21 has triple as much Sales as s20 series.
