Samsung Galaxy S21: Camera Review

[@farisnordin5945]

I have the S21 and it'd be cool if you can do a mobile photography tutorial with the phone. Your photos look the most amazing of all S21 camera review photos I've seen online. I just subscribed, keep up the good work!

There is a rumour that if we use camera for more than 10 min or while gaming.... phone gets super heat ....is that true

[@fixups6536]

This is what a call quality content. I can really feel the professional photographer touch in your review and your photography. It was not only very informative, as I'm considering purchasing the S21, but also very pleasant to watch, because of your artistic sense and mastery. Instantly, your opinion weights much more than any video I have seen on the subject (and I have already watched too many of them). It's just so obvious you know what you are talking about... I can feel it in every picture you show here. Congratulations!

[@azvisuals]

Thanks so much for the thoughtful comment!! I really try to find a new perspective on these reviews because there are so many videos out on these devices. I'm still learning as I go so hopefully my future reviews/comparisons will be even better!

[@seftonwinslade]

Just what I was looking for. What an excellent no-nonsense review, you've gained another subscriber. Thankyou for such an in depth review with lots of real life examples.

[@azvisuals]

Thanks so much for the kind words and support! I always try to provide the most value without wasting anyone's time.

[@Sally32669]

So in depth :) I know this is a photography channel but a separate review of other aspects of the phone would be great! I really appreciate how in depth you go

[@azvisuals]

Thank you! Maybe I will create a long term review of the phone after I use it more.

[@marionmazzell6984]

Great video. I have always enjoyed taking pictures and have been told that I have a great eye for capturing the moment. I haven't picked up a camera in many years and only recently realized how much I miss that feeling of capturing that perfect moment in time. I bought the S21 mainly for the improvements they have made with their optics but really could not afford the S21 Ultra. After watching you review of the S21, you have really made me feel a lot better about my choice. Thank you for your time and expertise about the phone and picture quality. Please keep up the great work.

[@azvisuals]

Thanks for sharing your experience! The regular S21 has amazing cameras. Of course, the Ultra has the super telephoto but its not worth the huge price tag just for that.

[@arafa4567]

The intro ️‍🔥️‍🔥

[@Birbyvideography]

You will realise something; that actual photographers and videographers tend to have more positive views towards phone cameras than reviewers. Sometimes, reviewers and their followers really do just get caught up in things that don't exactly matter, and scrutinise waaaay too hard. Worse still, many people get a skewed idea of what a good photography machine really is, and start to blast photogaphers for getting expensive gear and all. Personally, I prefer more "editable" colours that i can freely manipulate in Lightroom and more natural sharpening rather than the digital sharpening that still plagues most phones. Then again, at some point it really doesn't matter anymore, but wannabe phone enthusiasts will go on about how it's ever so slightly soft or something.

[@codenamemamba1277]

I have the S21 Ultra I decided on it because I truly wanted to "snap" the moon and have for the first time been able to do it. Watching this video though would have made me still feel good with the S21. Great video sir!

[@sharonbarry8878]

On the moon... I was able on two separate occasions taken decent photos but for some reason I can't find my way back to what I did. I used dark mode and zoomed all the out but the meter on the top right isn't showing up so it's all a blur.

[@codenamemamba1277]

@@sharonbarry8878 do you have the s21 or ultra? If it the ultra i just use photo mode aim at the moon and zoom in to 30x....you just have to have a steady hand or tripod. Once the moon is in the middle of your view tap it to focus and snap voila. I took a really cool one last night at dusk sky was still blue!

[@zachzhuo5651]

This is the review I am looking for! Keep up the good work. If possible, I'd like to see s21 ultra testing! :D

[@azvisuals]

Thank you man! I don't have access to the ultra unfortunately but if I do get my hands on one, I will def test it out.

[@joybenoit566]

AAALLLEEXXX!! This would have been EXACTLY what I needed except you didn't start showing how to use the features on the phone until you got to the Pro Mode. Please make another video and show us HOW to use those camera features! Your video production is spot on...please make a follow up, demonstration video!

[@azvisuals]

Thanks Joy! I didn't have time in this video to go through Pro Mode in detail. I will try to make a separate video about it soon. Stay tuned!

I feel like you could makes series called Camera Review for Smartphones. I would watch it cause alot of times I really want to know more about a phone's camera than anything and because of your photography background it shows a different perspective than a normal phone review. I'd be nice if you would review more phones in this way

[@azvisuals]

Hey Preston thanks a lot for the positive feedback and kind words. I'm am def trying to review these devices from a photographers perspective, take them out on real world scenarios and see what the cameras are capable of. Because these days, most phones have good screens, speakers, etc. so it's the cameras and softeare that really differentiate it

First of all, thank you kindly for posting this review. I recently bought an old Samsung s22.... although it is now 2023 it's still pretty decent. I am also a photographer and my old Samsung A22 phone just wasn't cutting it for me. I'm so pleased with the camera on my s21 and watching this video confirmed all I needed to know in advance. Now, i do not have to walk with my heavy Nikon camera and lenses whilst I'm hiking🙃

[@JamesB02]

Alex thank you for taking the time to do an in depth review of the Samsung Galaxy S21. I purchased my phone almost a week ago. Right out the box I love it. I upgraded from a Galaxy S9. In July I started posting videos to my youtube channel that I established back in 2006. I have had my S9 for 2 years but was almost out of memory even though I tried to get rid of some of the apps. I am impressed with the phone and didn't purchase the ultra phone because it was too large imo. Again job well done Alex.

[@inspiredx3866]

S9 has the micro SD card capability..which i love and will keep for a backup. Wish samsung kept it but the future is bound to happen without SD cards it seems.

[@catchthewind8563]

Great video! While I wanted to keep my Samsung A71 UW 5G and switch to Spectrum Mobile(it's way cheaper), the phone wasn't supported in their system, sooooo, It was a difficult situation but I ended up with the Samsung S21+. God helped me on that one. That was all Him. My dad was a photographer and my sister and her husband are both photographers as well. This video was very uplifting and made me more relieved that I made the right choice picking my phone. Keep up the great work!

[@davidjohnston1374]

Hi Alex. I've had my S21 5G phone now for almost a year and have taken a lot of shots with it mostly for work related stuff and my BBQ pics, I'm hopeless with selfies as I don't think I'm very photogenic. I've never really delved into the menu side of the phone and different settings, I just point and shoot but am amazed what these phones can do in Photo mode. I was scanning you tube for some demonstrations when I came across your channel.....wow you could make these phone cameras sing, I really want to get out and do different things with S21. I do however find it's a bit heavy on the battery so I might have to get an extra battery bank. Great work Alex, you taught me a lot....so thankyou for this video.

[@azvisuals]

Thanks for your feedback! I'm sure you can take amazing photos it just takes some practice and lighting is very important as well. These phone cameras are so good these days have confidence in yourself and you practice a bit to get better!

First: GREAT VIDEO!! Then: Recently I started looking for a new phone (coming from a Galaxy S7). As you mentioned most photo/video details you can find on the web are for the S21-Ultra. The Ultra has awesome specs, but is simply toooo expensive. There are only a few differences between the S21 and S21+ and that's mainly the battery, screen-size and back cover. The camera's are the same so in fact this video will also represent the S21+. With this video you definitely deserve a thumb-up!

Just bought a San Disk Extreme Portable SSD to store my photos on.
