I truly wanted this phone.. But sadly had to give it a pass since there's no Headphone Jack. I hope they bring it back in the next iteration. Wireless audio is not mature enough to replace the Headphone Jack.
Wireless audio still continues to have bad noise output and high lossless bitrate limitation based on the reviews and reported statistics.
Also the fact that not every device has converted to Wireless audio is a pain as I would have to own 2 earphones instead of one. 1 wireless earphone and 1 wired.
Manufacturers that specializes in audio have yet to begin transition into wireless audio (since wireless audio is not even capable of meeting high res audio standards just yet). This basically means that consumers will be limited to getting their earphones from brands such as Samsung, Apple etc, all of which DO NOT have adequate specialties in audio.
Sound quality (based on the published reviews) of these brands are simply entry level at best, people who are ok with it are those that have yet, the opportunity to try an earphone/headphone from the mainstream reputable audio brands such as Westone, Grados, Jerry Harvey etc, and they will not have a chance if they own a Samsung S21. USB to 3.5mm adapter has been proven to be ineffective, which leads to a high noise output and might additionally degrade the usb c port (Check out Juan Bangell on youtube, he did a thorough analysis on this).

Graphene is still light years away to gather mainstream popularity. If Samsung is working on it, I'm sure OnePlus and Xiaomi are doing it too.
We won't see graphene batteries in the market at least till 2025.

OnePlus and Xiaomi are headed in the wrong direction, as they're looking to trump one another with regards to charging speeds. Graphene batteries will be the future, and Samsung is already working on it.

As the S21 Ultra has a much better Exonys chip, any issues that 990 had have been resolved.

Anyone who has an Exynos version: Does it still overheat?
I currently have the S20 Ultra and this is the worst phone I have ever owned. I just can't deal with the overheating issue anymore, it keeps shutting down by itself after I use it for a few minutes.

Mi 10
Mi10 Pro
Mi note 10/pro (released months before s20 ultra)
And now Redmi note 10 pro that costs about 300 usd....
Im S21 ultra user, after 9 or 10 xiaomi phones starting with og redmi note that didnt support 4g anyways.
The thing is that samsung camera software is by far superior to xiaomis... i dont think i would back to Xiaomi till they fix their image processing... they make best phones for the buck period but, without any glitches or bugs on samsung i see why it is no1 smartphone brand.... huawei was the only one who could make samsung dethroned but us.... also, i dont say s21 ultra is perfect, i do miss live wallpapers from xiaomi, ir blaster and ultra fast charging, but in trade for much stable and advanced software,more user friendly, better pattery optimisation and beter cameras i think its worth it... not to mention the s pen which i really get used to... for me, if you gonna spend 1200 on the phone, go with iphone or samsung due to software realibility if budget is important to you than go for oneplus or xiaomi... great phones with not that much tradeoffs compared to price difference.

Anonymous, 15 Apr 2021Wow finally someone smartWhile I agree that the secondary screen on the Mi 11 Ultra is a gimmick, Samsung definitely did not provide 25 W charging speeds to increase the life of the S21 Ultra. They just didn't think 65W charging would be the norm among the other flagships of 2021.
Just wait for the S22 Ultra next year where you will see it supporting faster charging speeds.
Samsung is a little complacent like Apple. It knows that it is the most premium brand among Android phones. Hope this doesn't become a trend where they offer fewer features than the competition for much higher prices.

Especially after seeing the reviews of the OP9 Pro and the Mi 11 Ultra, I've developed a newfound admiration for the S21 Ultra.

It seems that the camera under the screen will never mature because it is not a good solution at all!
Using a 21: 9 aspect ratio, like Sony phones, seems to be a better choice because it drastically reduces the margins of the phone.

Whilst it sucks that there's no headphone jack (this was taken out last generation) and no SD card slot, the merits of this phone far outweigh the drawbacks. Most of the camera issues that a lot of people complained about have been fixed via software updates, so it really shouldn't be worse than any previous generation phone.

As for the fingerprint issue, the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor is not sensitive enough to work with certain glass screen protectors. Unless you have a dedicated sensor (not under the display) you'll always have this issue. However, there are a few brands which have made special protectors that do work, if you're interested I can post links to them.

I'm pretty sure Apple have had several QC issues with their products recently, from truly weird issues like the iPhone 12PM overheating to the AirPods Max having condensation build up in the earcups.
