I can think of plenty of scenarios where it'd be useful.
In particular for me , if my girlfriend is asleep in bed and I don't want to rummage around looking for the TV remote waking her up, I just do it on my phone which is always easy to grab as it's on charge on the nightstand.

The quality of the photos is clearly very poor. The ultrawide lens is blurred over 70% of the image, while the main lens is too sharp, lacks detail, etc. Just look at the vegetation. The lower left corner is blurred. I really don't understand this note and enthusiasm about the photo part.

No offense to Samsung, but images produced by Huawei flagships are still at least 100% finer-looking.

Interestingly the review rating has gone down from samsung s9 4.7 to S10 4.4 to S20 and S21 4.2 which seems to indicate that the samsung s line has been degraded. S10 was the last with headphone jack S20 the last with expandable memory. Personally if I were to buy a phone in this class I would choose sony 5 II which now both has headphone jack and expandable memory. Hopefully samsung will come to their senses like they did with samsung s7 which in contrast to s6 include expandable memory and sony 5 II which included expandable memory in contast to sony 5 I which did not. For me it is baffeling that high end android phones from samsung has less features of the cheaper kind like Samsung Galaxy A32 5G which has both headphone jack and expandle memory.

Nothing really exciting, they even removed some features that are actually useful, but they'll charge you for gimmicks and specs only noticeable on paper... and yes, their software sucks.

Many reviews have been posted, but as usually most reviewers seem to be quite bad and are not even talking about edge sharpness. Phonearena mentions that the edges are soft and in a video by supersaf there is also a crop where you can see a pretty soft edge. So I think the wide/ultra wide issue might be a common issue.

But even those have visible problems, like "color is usually accurate" sample has bluish fence sign (with orange letters, on the right). The first portrait sample has washed-out skin texture on the guys forehead (top-left). 10x zoom sample is bluish and pixelated even on 480p image.

Anonymous, 21 Jan 2021Please list out all the bloatware that you can't disable... All the Bixby junk, Games Tools and Services, Samsung Pay, Samsung Pass, Samsung Internet, Samsung Cloud, Email - just from the top of my head. And I haven't even started on so called system apps... What makes me totally furious is that I can't even revoke Phone and Text permissions for this cr.., wtf Samsung!?

[deleted post]well, that review does not contain full sized images. From 480p resolution is hard to tell man:DD
But, if you look at mrwhostheboss video comparision at 4K res, you clearly see those mushed images. Even Arun points out that! So clearly this is not only gsmarena foulty devices, there is something really wrong with samsung processing. I mean S20 series looked much better in terms of details.

Very poor basis of argument if you haven't tried a Samsung phone. Good luck trying a new HTC phone out, they might bring one out soon if they don't go out of business lol

In fact, the 108 megapixel camera is actually the 4th gen. Since the first sensor was introduced (s20 ultra) they made 3 more and the one they released now is the best one.
