Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra In 2024...Real World Test! (CES Las Vegas) My Favorite Old Flagship!

[@grayaquatics852]

Still using my S21 Ultra since Oct 2022. Still a beast. Does everything I need it to.

[@nuskox]

Is it durable? Can you protect it? i broke mine s10 plus and looking for s21 plus couse i'm sick of curved screen easy to brake but people teling me to go for s21 ultra

[@some_one_random1280]

​@nuskox I got this phone like 4 or 5 months ago and I gotta tell it's actually really good. Performance, build quality, durability it's all pretty good to this day! It still gives u that premium feel as well so it's definitely worth going for it.

@@some_one_random1280 thanks man, I bought it a few days ago.

[@kilovwdude6457]

​​Is it still snappy? Im between a s22+ and a s21 ultra and im not sure the snapdragon 8 gen 1 is worth it coming from a pixel 7pro (note this is a extra phone im picking up for $270ish my pixel isnt going anywhere until the new iphone drops i just want to have a Android around Incase i hate going back to iPhone) ​@@some_one_random1280

Nothing since has wanted me to change from my S21. The only problem is support finishing in 2024 but the security updates will be good for a further year. So the S25 needs to be exceptional.

[@robertmccormick4738]

That looks like a cool phone to raffle?

[@adamwoodworth5758]

I loved my s21 ultra, sadly it was at&t unlocked. Since I was using mint I could never update it. I know I could have downloaded the update from online but not automatically and didn't want to accidentally brick it. It's a fantastic phone, but I did trade it for $650 towards my new s24 ultra so I'm happy. The photos are amazing, the screen bright and very responsive. I got my wife a nearly new s22 ultra instead of a s24 fe and its going to be a major upgrade for her. If you can get an ultra for a good price s21,22 or 23 are all amazing phones.

[@ericparlatore]

Love my s21 ultra still

[@Carlos.Rodriguez]

Do you happen to have an issue with the 1x lens? I've been using the S21 Ultra for about a month now, and notice this problem since the first day, I did some research and it looks like it is a problem with many users, it's only the 1X, ultra wide, 3X and 10X are a great, I hope you can share your thoughts 🙏

[@ericparlatore]

What's issue with 1x

[@private7300]

I have for more than 2 years. The only thing is heating, but I suspect hacking or some sort of thing.... As for camera... its works as it should except heating same s23 ultra

@@private7300 I experienced some heating the first days, then weather changed I don't know if because of that haven't had heating issues, but the main camera, compared to my OnePlus 8 Pro, photos look blurred. 3X, 10X and Ultra wide photos look crispy and great!

[@jhonnythunder1880]

Hey wassup bro, just wanna ask a question if you have use the s20 ultra, have you ever had any green lines appearing on the screen, and when did you first start using the phone and do you still use this phone in 2024(even if it's just sometimes) and what version are you using exynos or Snapdragon ?

[@KevoIogy]

I'm guessing he's using a Snapdragon version because he lives in the US.

[@horpauls]

I'm thinking of getting this phone. I just wish it had SD card support, so I'm looking for a 256gb model. Coming from a Note10+ that's my main gripe

[@horpauls]

I got it and I'm liking it so far. The 120hz is nice, it's easier to hold. I found a spot in my wallet to keep my Note10+ s pen with me in case i need it. The camera is better when zooming and the battery life is better of course from my older phone. I still would have my Note10+ and be happy though if the digitizer didn't go. In fact, i still use it as a back up as the s pen functionality is still there

[@iseerashonal821]

is it as smooth as the pixel 6 pro now?

[@ardaarsen]

I only care about Camera. Last year I did compare my s21 ultra with s23 ultra, saw no difference and kept my phone. This year people say s24 camera is very experimental and not particularly good. Guess I'll have to see s25

[@suprxmefire9497]

[@Rio_3505]

if you go into settings and search software update it should be there. I got my update on the 25th december i wouldnt reccomend oneui 6 though because the battery drain isnt good and the features are kinda useless

[@aviatron01]

Hi sir. Please i need help! I can't decide between a brand new S21 ultra with Exynos 2100 and a brand new S22 plus with Snapdragon 8 gen 1. I really need your help on this one. Im I'm a power user and i think the S22 plus might suit my needs better but i don't know if the 21 ultra might be a better buy since it has that 1440P display but many have pointed out that the difference between a 1080p and 1440p screen don't have much difference unless you really look so idk maybe the 21 ultra might be the best for me or the S22 plus. Please sir help. Thank you.

I wonder how it behaves while playing Warzone Mobile ??? 🤔 That game is not completely finished/optimised for mid-range and older flagship devices ( processors ) , but Exynos 2100 is still good enough by performance and mobile cpu rankings !!!!

And have second phone Honor 200 , with good performance in games , but display and cameras are not that good like on Samsung
