I have a Note 20 Ultra Exynos 990 & while it isn't on par with the Snapdragon 865 it still gets the job done for me, as i don't game on phone's never have.
I never been a fan of the S Series, but with rumors knocking about there won't be a Note 21 Ultra this year and if that being the case, I shall hang on until the S22 Ultra next year, the S21 Ultra doesn't really offer enough to warrant me upgrading from the Note 20 Ultra.

I'm surprised nothing was mentioned in the article about the benchmark difference between the Ultra and the standard S21 considering the only difference should be the amount of ram?

i0S...Never...Again, 26 Jan 2021Samsung should start giving 4k120 along with 8k. The 8k foo... moreshould 8K video even be a thing on phones, i feel like we should leave that to Cine and prof grade cameras

114hr Endurance with QHD@120hz. 👍👍👍
Meanwhile, Apple 12 Pro Max with lower resolution and pedestrian 60hz topping out at 95hr.
Samsung charging a premium and delivering premium.
Let's all maintain a few minutes of silence for all those "High refresh consumes excessive battery life" guys that plague every comments section with the same old thing.

Daddidoo, 26 Jan 2021The new exynos is battery efficient now 114h endurance rati... moreYes it is, but sustained performance turns out to be lackluster compared to the SD variant though better than Exynos 990. You should watch Gary Explains sustained performance video, it compared S21 Ultra SD vs. Exynos.
So this phone is only ideal for media consumption but I think gaming will be poor with high battery consumption.

Looking at those two images of the Under the display fingerprint scanner, it's clear why Samsung wasn't the fastest last year. The larger surface area will read fingerprints more easily and accurately.

Samsung should start giving 4k120 along with 8k. The 8k footage isn't as good as others
(Mi 10t pro with similar sensor did great 8k footage) but I am pretty sure they'll do a great job with 4k@120fps. Even last year's devices did 4k120.

I liked the better protection system for camera lenses without excess of glazed area.

Daddidoo, 26 Jan 2021The new exynos is battery efficient now 114h endurance rati... moreNot really.
S20 Ultra was tested at 60Hz all the time.
21 Ultra was always switching.
They need to lock at 60Hz to proper test. Because the adaptive could mislead people to think endurance is better or worse according to how phone decided to act.

AnonD-546724, 26 Jan 2021Don't want to ruin the party but benchmarks are now ... moreyes, exactly, but nobody wants to know that they have bought an overcharge phone. its the allure of owning an expensive phones that gets them going, just like what apple have been doing for the past years

Anonymous, 26 Jan 2021The main camera is equivalent to 24mm. But it's actual... moreI need to correct my last part. The raw file wasn't from the OnePlus 8 Pro, so my statement is not valid. Though it was correct that the Xiaomi 10 Ultra had noticeably less blue color noise in the shadows than the S20 Ultra despite only 1/13s exposure time instead of 1/4s.

actually I DO miss all those features they leave out. I'd rather prefer microsd over a big internal sotrage. If the phone locks out or breaks you can pull the memory card and take with you your data before bringing it to the customer service. They keep on leaving features... no microsd, no irda, no audio jack, no removable battery, now no charger (!). And devices still cost an eye
