To be brutally honest, I'm not happy with the S21 Ultra's daylight photos at all. There is too much oversharpening and noise effect going on here. I actually see better photo quality with the S20 Ultra. The only consolation I will give is the S21 Ultra's native 3x telephoto camera. It does produce a much better 3x zoom photo than the S21's 3x crop zoom camera.
It's a totally different story for lowlight though. While there is some sharpening involved, it's not as severe as in daylight condition. Even the noise is gone as well. It seems that the updated sensor's Nona Bayer filter modifications algorithm now pays off in low light. It is much better than both the S21 and also the S20 Ultra.

Nick Tegrataker, 26 Jan 2021You were claiming that LTPO technology and the adoptive ref... moreWhy does not Note 20U last well?
Why doesn't Pixel 4 last well (switches 60-90)?
Why dont Sharp phones last well (drop to 1Hz)?
Problem is: If it spends more time at 120, it gives worse results. If spends more time below 60, it gives better results.
*** You do not create standard this way to compare to previous generation. Is it that hard to understand?
People cant read these days, no surprise so many lunatics become presidents these days.
Most of the gain was during calls. Exynos 2100 is still worse than SD, but better than last year.
By the way, Note was not tested the way 21 Ultra was. But locked at 60 and 120. It has LTPO.

Anonymous, 25 Jan 2021So, main camera is 26mm and periscope is 240mm. But Samsun... moreHuh? The main camera has a 24mm equivalent lens, so the 10x telephoto lens is indeed 10x in terms of the magnification.

Not to mention that the panel itself should be also more power efficient and produce less heat thanks to LTPO technology.

Anonymous, 26 Jan 2021Hahaha I remember you always saying higher refresh rate con... moreIt does.
Check S20, OP8 Pro and 5ii.
All tested at 60 and 120.
120 had worse results.
Also, check Phone Arena.
They also test 60 and 120.
120 has way worse results.
It is a fact, not my imagination.
All this battery wasted, just to scroll faster. Like S20 FE tv ad .. " For those who like to scroll".

S20 Ultra was tested at 60Hz all the time. ... moreYou were claiming that LTPO technology and the adoptive refresh rate failed to make a difference in battery life when Note 20 Ultra review came out (which was factually inaccurate), and now S21 Ultra is showing significantly improved power efficiency, you want to tell people that the test method GSMArena used is flawed? Isn't that a bit too convenient, don't you think..
The battery life test was conducted exactly in the way it's supposed to be, though it would've been nicer if they ALSO did it at 60Hz locked.

I will buy this or the oppo find x3 pro. Let's hope February release rather than March. Sooner better and faster making the choice between the two.

Both Exynos 2100 and SD 888 turn into the second SD810 disaster. Long live the new king: SD870

Why not short out the battery on all phones to see which one starts on fire first?
Your comment is ridiculous. Obviously it's using the Adaptive Refresh Rate and whatever else was programmed for battery endurance during normal usage.

Looks like now you have nothing to complain, now you accuse Gsmarena of misleading people?
