    Cucumber, 15 Feb 2021Yup, you're right. S21U is worse than N20U. I also e... moredoes it even need that huge of a sensor, why not do what pixel is doing and leave it all to software to the tricks, and plus pixel takes the best photos around

      If they'd added a dedicated 2x zoom lens, the writer would have complained about the lack of clarity at 1.7x zoom? I'm sorry, but the whole thing just comes across as chronically negative...
      Vaguely paraphrased: "I reluctantly admit the S21 Ultra has a great camera setup".....

        21U does worse photos than S20U (can be seen from the review).
        21U does worse video than Note 20U.

        LOL ....

          AnonD-973296, 15 Feb 2021the Note 20 ultra looks much more natural and less blurry i... moreYup, you're right.
          S21U is worse than N20U. I also encountered similar issues.
          List of S21U problems that I see from this comparision (maybe some of them can be fixed through software update):
          1. Oversharpening
          2. Oversaturation
          3. Blurry corners (this one looks like the lenses are too wide and badly tuned with sensor)
          4. Lot of noise especially in low light situations
          5. White Balance is off the spot and make pictures look unnatural
          6. Some artifacts in complicated textures (parking lot - license plates)
          7. Serious barrel distortions on main lenses.
          I think they are trying too much. In phone for a 1500 euro (price in my country) above issues are impermissible (mostly the one with lenses and blurry corners).

            Wait, note 20 ultra can only use manual mode for main camera?
            This is so lazy from samsung.
            Also ridiculous.

              Do the compariaon between S20U and S21U.
              Because there are a lot improvements in S20U that it got from numerous updates.

                the Note 20 ultra looks much more natural and less blurry in the corners. for me, the N20U wins
