I like that this phone beats Asus ROG Phone 3 (because this phone is new). Honestly, I like the feature that if you choose 512gb storage, you'll have 16gb ram. Also, I noticed that the camera is a little brighter than iPhone, which can be helpful. With the GPU, cpu, y'know, the specifications are great. P.S. you cant add more storage once you've chosen the amount of what you chose

I moved from an S9+, which is very close in size to the S21, and I think that's a better comparison. I get another camera, and the cameras are probably better. They are still not good enough that I'd give up a DSLR. It's nice to get something with a camera that costs a fraction of the price of a lens though.
The fingerprint scanner on the back was convenient, and I could hold the phone comfortably with my finger there, so I didn't need to move it to scan. I could also move my finger up or down to open or close the notification panel or get to the quick settings. The fingerprint scanner on the S21 was easier to get used to than I expected.
I can still use face scan but feel less secure with it than with iris scan added in, so I have the added inconvenience of needing a fingerprint more often. A compromise such as face unlock in trusted zones would have been nice.
Battery life is better so far, but part of that is the age of the old phone. I don't think I'll end up charging fewer times than I did with a new S9+.
I also lose the biometric scanner. It did a good job with pulse and o2sat. It was less accurate with blood pressure, and Samsung didn't even include that in the app. I'm not buying a smart watch to get those back though. I don't need those enough that I couldn't give them up, but it certainly made it less than an instant decision.
Ultimately, I got a good deal from my carrier so it wasn't a question of the money. It was a question of whether it was worth giving up some features instead of paying for a new battery, and getting a newer OS with two potential future upgrades. I can't think of a thing I've done with it so far that my old phone wouldn't do aside from using an extra camera.
I did also lose my memory card, which had allowed me to keep all my photos. And I lost the headphone jack, which meant buying an adapter. And it didn't come with a charger, ostensibly for environmental reasons and under the assumption that I had one. But it turned out that this uses a PD charger so I still needed to buy one for fast charging. It didn't come with the adapter for the USB cable that phones came with in the past. It was no problem for me, but for somebody with an older phone (S7) it was a problem. That adapter would have worked for people regardless of which old phone they had. It came with a double ended USB-C cable, which does no good with an old charger and helps no more than providing the adapter. Buying a new charger was slightly cheaper with a cable than without one.
sorry but that's not the reason to upgrade s21 is downgrade devices no heart rate no spo2 no iris scanner no headphone jack no SD card you know what f this s21 mid-range device if samsung wants to atone then bring back iris scanner and dual apertures camera and heart rate oh wait they won't give us because they have so-called marketing people to mock apple then follow the same steps if you want to down vote comment then do i don't care about so-called fanboy system even if so some called fanboy want to comment on this feel free because i won't look on to you all things said samsung if you want to do business with me provide iris scanner and heart rate back or else GTFO and start running a grocery shops that would suit you better hangsung lagaxy you attracting more haters by removing features then so be it GTFO with devices and get ready open a grocery stores that would suit you better when you are removing everything from chargers to features then who f you are apple or a grocery store

I think Samsung should should stop saleing there own phones and start saleing iPhone. Because they are interesting iPhone fans. Samsung increase more haters.

Bunchababiesinhere, 18 Jan 2021 No it's not obvious that the s21 isn't better th... moreI have the s20 ultra :)) I didn't become a Samsung hater in one day, I hate other Samsung phones too. You said s21 better, I strongly suggest you do a side by side comparison and see the differences. Fixing camera does not makes it a better phone, we are talking about a phone which has issues and manufacturer did not take any action to fix those problems. Same brand who manufacturing blowing up phones in the past. They should collect all the s20 phones too, that's a quality brand, paid more than 1000$ for a phone and it's not even working properly. You tell me which one better 25w fast charger or 45?? You talking nonsense. You are not a fanboy, you are a Samsung employee.

I wonder how the S21 Ultra performs when filming 4K / 60fps in high ambient temperatures?
A year ago I bought a used S9, only for filming and photography.
When filming 4K / 60fps in the field in full sun at an air temperature of + 30C, after a few minutes the smartphone got very hot, the image became very dark and finally the S9 smartphone turned off by itself - the effect of self-protection against overheating of the processor.
Perhaps 5nm (S21) is better than 10nm (S9) in hot environments.

Do Not Disturb for calendar events?
Apparently Samsung doesn't license this critical feature, and access to the background timer has been changed, so you cannot install a third-party app to enable this feature.
Background: If you schedule a 2-hr meeting in Google Calendar, 0900-1100, it appears as "busy" and the option to enable Do Not Disturb would keep your phone quiet, automatically. Now this is no longer possible; it must be done manually. Really?!

Anonymous, 20 Feb 2021Why Sony 5ii?HIRES AUDIO, High-end Wolfson DAC, Headphone jack, SD card, professional camera and video which no camera can beat even in 5 year's ahead.
It has Alpha series camera features, going through all these features are mind boggling and confusing, but I'm half there, .. once you use this you would pissssssshitttt on stock camera.
No notch all screen. Plain vanilla stock Android.
I also have the SONY XZP 4K SCREEN AT2160P, and Sony xz1compact, Z5 impact.

I was very critical of this phone i mean the S21 Ultra but when i went in to the mobile shop and play abit around with it for a half an hour what really impressed me was the batterylife so i trade in my Note 20 Ultra for S20 Ultra and the fingerprint scaner is also much better on this one of course it is Sad that Samsung remove the support for Micro sd card but I will buy a usb flashdrive 256 GB that is also a good sololution . I think all things consider the S21 Ultra delivers were it mostly matters . The camera on this phone also delivers.

I am almost ready to send the phone back after a week of use. The camera is horrendous. How does it come, my old xiaomi mi9 lite 200€ phone has so much better images in dark? On xio you shoot 32s exposure at 800 ISO and actually see all the fine detail. Well, but S21... 30s 800 ISO all smudged like an oil painting. You can see the raw version too, which is not smudged, but it has massive amount of noise and blue hot pixels, as well as, very poor dynamic range, washed out colors and so wrong white balance on auto. It took me one try on Xiaomi to get a good picture, but on Samsung it was simply not possible even after an hour of trying. There's just no way. Even on ISO 320 which made image brightnes
