I went to Apple last year and I'm not gonna lie, I would go back because of the multitasking and the ability to download Android APK's outside of Google Play. Now that they are on par with the Pixel with 3 years of software updates, now its a question for me if I want them immediately with Google Pixel or wait months through Google, Samsung and my carrier, Verizon. So I'm not ruling coming back to Android. I do miss it.

I went from galaxy note 10+ to iPhone 11 this year and I miss multitasking so much! Both multitasking and pin to screen are essential for me. Not to mention the spen... The only thing that I prefer on iphones is the smoothness overall, but that's not even a big deal. Can't wait to come back to android, with the S22 next year.

My daughter and I went sledding on a BEAUTIFUL day a few weeks ago. The hill was perfect, the sun was shining bright, and we were going down a huge hill (about 150-200 meters from top to bottom). I wanted to use Director's View but couldn't remember the name of it. I went through all the camera settings and lenses multiple times and still missed it. And I'm a huge tech nerd. Watching your clip with it just bummed me out. Lol. I ended up just recording us going down normally and switched between lenses a few times, but I can imagine how awesome the video could have been and that's what gets me. Come on Samsung name stuff in a way that makes things more simple. Dual video. Or picture in picture. If a tech nerd like myself misses it, the rest of the world will probably never even notice it. So frustrating.

I was talking with a Samsung rep the other day and he told me that one of the main reasons the S21 Ultra no longer has the SD card is because it actually hurts performance. UFS 3.0 is massively faster in both read and write speeds when compared to SD cards. This would greatly hamper performance if you're recording 4k or 8k video directly to a SD card which, in turn, would make the phone seem worse than it would be if recorded directly UFS 3.0 storage. Not sure of the validity of the Samsung rep's statement on this but it's something to chew on.

The software was the main reason I steered clear of Samsung for so long. I found myself giving OnePlus a run because of the near stock Android experience with Oxygen OS and it was great. But when I saw the overhaul into One UI that Samsung did and tried it out for myself, I found myself steering back toward Samsung. Recently picked up the S21 Ultra on a fairly solid deal and I couldn't be happier (thus far). The experience is smooth and intuitive. Battery has been insane. I only charge at the end of the day and I am good to go with heavy use until the same time the next day. And the cameras take some incredible shots. It's an insanely feature rich phone with one of the best, if the not the best, display on the market. So far so good! Hope this trend continues.

Only thing i didn't like is no SD card expansion but watch they add it back next year. Its all good though I have one drive, google photos etc. Not the end of the world.

Not sure why it took me so long to subscribe to your page, but I just did. I've watched your videos for quite some time now and appreciate how your reviews seem to cater to the everyday man & woman. I'm a tech-nerd and catch up on stuff all the time even if I have no intention to purchase stuff. I DID get the S21 Ultra though. So many of the KZbin channels I watch seem to concentrate way too much on stuff the average consumer literally doesn't care or even know about. Don't get me wrong, a lot of that info is useful, but a great deal seems to be given simply to impress viewers and it seems like serious overkill to me. I like the niche you provide and appreciate your no-nonsense delivery. As someone in broadcasting, I genuinely dislike people who try to do "announcer mode" when recording themselves and it sounds silly and absurd. I much prefer a natural delivery such as yours. Thank you for all the work you do preparing these videos. They are truly informative and fun to watch. In today's world, that is saying a lot. Kudos to you!

I love your real world use approach and how you don't just throw specs out there like most reviewers. I also love that if you don't personally use a feature, you don't just throw out the "gimmick" crutch. I love my S21Ultra, but I'm still bothered by the missing expandable storage and how the S-Pen didn't have a great storage solution. With on your storage issues, Samsung! 😁 If you do a tips/tricks video, please consider showing how you pinned that floating picture of your license when going out the form. That seems like it will be useful and it's just another example of you showcasing features in real world use. Bravo!

That way if we wanted to show friends certain cool features, they would be easy to find. Please consider doing that in the future. But honestly i almost didnt criticise anything because you have such a great personality and way of speaking that I almost feel bad for doing so, but they are practical considerations and you of all people should understand that😊 Keep up the good work. Subscribed! I went from note 4 to 9 to 10 and now 21 and the speed and smoothness of this new phone is absolutely noticeable and worth the upgrade.

I had some battery issues on my S21 Ultra 512 snapdragon model, but I fixed them. Currently my percentage is at 74%, with an onscreen time of 2 hours, and last full charge was 23hr 18min, without a full charge or some charge. I have the phone on FHD, 60hz, 4GLTE. I have WiFi scanning off, Play protect scanning off in the google play store, location off (as well as wifi and Bluetooth scan for accuracy). I do have the adaptive battery on. That is the only option that I use, I do not use the power saving feature. I have force dark mode option on in developer settings. I have noticed because I have T-mobile as well that 5G even though it is better, will use more power from your device, especially if you don't have good signal, I was a communications guy in the military and it will run your battery down quicker than 4GLTE. If you wanna test the quality of your 5G and see how effective it is I just turned mine on right now, go to about phone, status info, and select Sim card status, my signal strength on 5G is -111 dBm which is pretty crappy signal, even though everything is running smooth. I switched to 4GLTE and checked my signal is -87 which is better and less battery drain than 5G. You will in reality want a level between high -70s and mid -80s, but the rule is the closer the number is to 0 the better your signal will be, but in reality I have seen my phone, not just this one but the lowest I ever seen was probably -70. The last thing I forgot to say is I go to my apps, and select the app, then select Mobile data, if you do not want that app running in the background select "Allow background data usage" off and "allow data usage while data saver is on" off. I've done this for the majority of my apps, only left my KZbin, amazon Music, messaging, and probably like 5 more apps turned on for this. Hope this helps lemme know if you have any questions. Almost forgot Sync is off. Also last thing the quality and building materials that the building you are in plays a huge role, if it has to use more battery because it is struggling to get a signal and is always scanning, then it will drain your battery more. I would turn on your wifi and wifi calling and disable your data, you will still receive text messages with this option off. Hope this helps!

You mentioned you get 2 days battery life with 8-9 SOT. I barely get a full day with moderate usage with SOT below 5 hrs without gaming. Would you mind sharing your settings and battery stats? Why don't you mention phone heating during camera usage?

Just picked mine up. After a cracked screen on my 9 plus set my upgrade by 2 months. I've never cared about the cameras on phones. I figure my nikon slr beats any phone cameras. I figure that's why the bloated price tag, but like I told the sales associate, screw it, you only live once and spent the 1k plus. Definitely the best Android phone right now. Of the year? Probably. Get one if you can.

I keep seeing reviewers stating the screen can automatically drop down to 10Hz but if you enable 'show refresh rate' in developer options you'll see that the screen NEVER drops below 60Hz, even when it's only displaying the always on display... :/ I've yet to see an honest and unbiased review of the S21 Ultra and this is certainly not one

Hello Thao...I used to be a Samsung devotee and now i have my second OnePlus phone.They have amazing battery life,one of the fastest recharge rates,90HZ,and the charger comes with it,at $700.I have an open line,so I am thinking about getting back to Samsung,yet I am hesitant because for over $1000,i should have a charger and whatever else i need.I do have 2 Samsung tablets,still have my Note 3,and I wish they would bring back three things..IR Blaster..External storage..headphone jack..I NEVER use wireless headphones nor bluetooth devices on my head.I need to see if they can offer me a good price or include a charger.I am ok with no external storage,nor how it looks,weight,size,because I'm a grown up...lol...Plus,I always leave the store with my phone in a case..

those banner ads are annoying...maybe it keeps the price of the phone down. I'm really disappointed that their swipe keyboard doesn't work like 1UI, which allows typing 10s of multiple words if you want. Now it only allows about 3 or 4 words. So I use Swiftkey, but would prefer to use the Samsung keyboard cuz it does some other things better

I was really not impressed with any phone to upgrade to until this Ultra, I've been looking for a year. I have a S7 Edge that was limping along, it was shy 1 month of being 5 years old. I wasn't impressed with the S20 and the price got me looking for other options. I wasn't impressed with Pixel 4, waited for Pixel 5 on advice from my sons but I wasn't impressed and returned it. The screen was so dull compared to Samsung's OLED and I really wanted something larger not smaller. I was about to get an S20 FE but luckily I starting seeing articles and videos about the S21 and knew this was going to be my next phone. I splurged for the Ultra 512gb since its been 5 years since I bought a phone. I will start traveling soon and was also looking for a SLR camera to share pictures from but I decided I won't bother with a separate camera now since I bought this S21 Ultra, so it actually saved me money in that sense. I absolutely love it, the screen, the sound, the speed, the camera. I'm happy with it. I preordered and got $200 accessory credit so I picked up the Pro Earbuds (wonderful sound) and a case and also got a free Smart Tag. I was watching you use the thumb sensor and hit the off button on the side to sign in again, did you know you can tap the screen twice to turn it on and off (you probably do)? I just recently discovered that little trick.
