They should make the battery a bit thicker and the phone smaller. To get a better weight balance. Or use new battery technologies.

It is a bulky and fat phone. I'd personally go for S21+ and keep carying a mirorless camera for event pictures. For everyday shots there is no big difference between normal S21 and Ultra.

This sounds like a normal initial review rather than a long term review. A long term review should be discussing the experience/observations in using the phone over an extended period of time. There is no need to talk about the specifications of the phone, etc.

I remember when people hated and commented a lot about the Nokia 9 pureview giving them a Trypophobia cause of its camera module. They should look at this phone 😂

raycon , 17 Jul 2021I have this phone and I totally hate it, haven't hated... moreIn a way it’s true. But there are more worst icons than Samsung’s. For example LG. How good those phones are but icons and launcher suck big time.
I use stock launcher on my S21 Ultra with original icons or Nova launcher with icon packs. Otherwise the phone can definitely powerful than my MacBook Air with M1 chip. At least it feels like it
Do I regret buying it? Yes or no. Display is the one there’s no other in the world come close to. Samsung software is more powerful than iOS . Only thing that feels bigger to keep it pocket and carry around.

I have this phone and I totally hate it, haven't hated anything more in my life.
Samsung really needs to change those cartoon icons or at least make it compatible with icons from the play store and not those half baked icons and themes from Samsung store

Important thing you need to consider, is camera and focusing issues S20 ultra had. It was hardware issue and it is hardware issue still. So There will be problems.
If camera is not at all priority, then S20 ultra snapdragon variant is good.
In exonys variant, you need to go for S21 ultra as there is significant improvement in screen on time, it remains cooler and obvious S21 ultra [irrespective of variant] has better camera and has no focusing issues.
And if you have no problem with second hand phone, search local market for good S21 ultra handset, you will get around same price.

"Finally, and again, this is a personal consideration thing, the S21 Ultra is big, thick, heavy, and notably top-heavy"
Thats enough said...when you cant handle with ease a smartphone...its game over
