      5000 mah battery has outstanding improvment against my galaxy a01's 3000 mah battery, but lacking of charger, 3.5mm hedphone jack and memory card slot changed my mind about exchange.

Never had any real overheating issues..I play games and I tend to open many apps in the background and really did not have overheating provlems.

          However when i charge the phone it is very "hot" but i had that on my all Samsung phones and even on Sony.Its E version btw.

            Owned one of these for 5 days now and am sending back due to having a cool down period and not being happy with the device. Not paying £70 a month for a phone that doesn't even come with a charger or storage space, it feels like a metal top heavy house brick.

            Very smooth operating device, just not worth it over phones that cost half this, I prefer my mate 20 pro over the S21 Ultra, very disappointed. Takes almost 2 hours to charge the phone... Lmfao.. My huawei charges from empty to fill in under an hour.

              People just jump in when they see a new phone without any reviews,after what Samsung did with there S20 models Exynos phones,i was definetly waiting till any videos on you tube how good the new Exynos chips was against Snapdragon,and yesterday on you tube,i saw that the new Exynos chip was still rubbish and miles behind Snapdragon,and it spoils the camera quality of photos taken,and does overheat,so its bye bye Samsung from me,as you just laughing at European phone users with you rubbish Exynos chips

                i think as a past samsung user 12gb ram with 128 gb variant is the best for speed performance , while compering to other variants ..

Are you failing to find any other technical advantages, except for the low res, plastic back and the cheaper price (basic)? :-))) I can add only one for you: 10x tele cam (ultra). With terrible quality though.
                        And I just replied to Son below that Exynos it's still not as good as SD. And the major issue real users complain about is overheating, with real "You phone is too hot, let it cool down" error screenshots.

                          SON GOKU, 04 Feb 2021It's not localA50user fault they like the S21. I agree... moreYou still claim "many helpful improvements" without mentioning any other than the new Exynos version. And from what I see in this site reviews, Exynos 2100 hardly keeps up with the last year SD865+.
                          And it's still not clear how good thermal management Exynos is. Overheating reports on this site could be fake, but I saw real S21 screenshots with "You phone is too hot, let it cool down" error.

                                Whether you Believe me or not, but snapdragon is much better than exnossy

                                  I am experiencing some issues with my new 21 Ultra. When using the camera for more than 2 minutes it does overheats causing the camera to stop working. The battery and everything else is as you would expect from a flagship.

                                      I so regret giving my 12 pro max for this garbage phone camera heata up in just one minute battery life is nothing like reviews. Speakers are just ok. Never again samsung i have thw exynos variant and i thought it was improved.

                                        anonymous, 04 Feb 2021Do more research snapdragon fanboy. Exynos this year is bet... moreGaming is struggling quite a bit. I tried heavy games like Genshin Impact, it was giving 30-35fps at certain stages which is unacceptable as last year's chips like Snapdragon 865 give better performance. It shouldn't struggle on a phone which costs 1250€.

                                        Camera performance especially video is poor. I don't know what is wrong. Samsung used to be the best at video recording. Maybe it's the lack of Optimization for Exynos 2100.
                                        Overall image quality wasn't that impressive in low light compared to my wife's mi 10 ultra.

                                        Things I liked about the S21 Ultra were looks, battery life, screen.
                                        For whatever reasons, it didn't resonate with me, was expecting more from a 1250€ device.
                                        I returned mine after using it for few days. Will wait for phones from other manufacturers.
