I think another competitor to mention is the galaxy s20 FE as the screen size is quite similar.

The fact that Samsung is reusing the same camera sensors as last year's s20 plus and not using a true telephoto sensor on a 1000 dollars flagship smartphone really pissed me off.

If they are really concern about the environment, rather than ditching the charger why not produce one flagship once every 2-3 yrs so that their sheeps wont force to upgrade their phones every year for the sake of being cool...

Forsi147, 05 Feb 2021Am I blind or these are awful looking muddy photos, especia... moreIf you watch TechTablets review of the S21 Ultra in YT, yes there seems to be issues with camera performance especially on the Exynos version. We’ll have to wait until Samsung addresses this issue with a software update.

Forsi147, 05 Feb 2021Am I blind or these are awful looking muddy photos, especia... moreYou are fine, man, it's the camera that is even worse than the basic S21 one. I wonder if Arena applied the latest update like they did for S21 and Ultra.
Anyway, night shots are totally unusable without a Night Mode on all three cameras. Meaning, users can forget about shooting dynamic scenes in low light.
And why Arena somehow couldn't see that 64MP shots have clearly worse detail level compared to the main 12MP ones.

I checked the plus and the ultra in a store and found the ultra to be noticeably heavier and less balanced than the plus. The plus feels much easier to hold, to the point that I probably will choose the plus over the ultra while my budget allows for the ultra

Samsung should have gone the Kirin 9000 way of having more cores but with lower clock speed.

Snapdragon jas better ISP.
Also , that variant uses Exmor 555 as main camera.
All exmor are better than the isocell counterparts.

"We already knew not to expect mind boggling benchmark results from S21+ thanks to our previous experience with the S21 and the S21 Ultra. Similarly to those, we had no issues in real-life use caused by thermal throttling.
Having said that, intense benchmarking does result in significant drops in the results with the fifth run in Antutu, for example, returning some 440K points, or around 70% of the initial score. Similar behavior was observed in graphics benchmarks, and the Ultra's performance was along those lines as well. CPU benchmarks were more consistent between runs, suggesting it's the GPU that is having trouble maintaining top-level results."
This should be a sticky....
