Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is the worst phone ive owned. Exynos 2100 is garbage, runs very hot, throttles content, poor battery life, the camera is a dis appointment, alot of noise in photos, focus issues, video is choppy, night mode is full of noise, its an annoying phone to use.
The S21u is overhyped, overpriced and inferior because samsung continue to use in the inferior exynos chip. Maybe the Snapdragon version is better but all i can tell you is the Exynos version is garbage!!.
Thankfully i was able to return the worthless S21u for a refund and purchased the Huawei Mate 40 Pro, Very happy with the M840 Pro, No google and i love it. Huawei make very good phones.

              jakas, 05 Mar 2021noIt will get very hot while you are doing setup for the first time and even after you receive software updates as phone is doing indexing , this will last till 5-6 hours but after that it will not get hot, but yes while using camera it will get warm at camera module but that is expected as it using powerful ai engines for processing , this happens to some expensive dslr also

                -It has NO NFC.
                -Quite a weak chipset imho, so not much of an upgrade for the MI 9 Lite
                I'll stick with my MI 9 Lite for now. :)

                  How does the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max (RN10PM) score the same endurance rating (114 hours) in the 120 Hz mode as the S21 Ultra which clearly has higher talk time, web browsing, & video playback numbers?

                  Interestingly, the RN10PM (in 60 Hz mode) scores a higher endurance rating than the S21 Ultra even though the S21 Ultra still has higher numbers.

                  RN10PM (120 Hz):
                  3G talk time - 28:45 hours
                  Web browsing - 13:58 hours
                  Video playback - 15:47 hours

                  RN10PM (60 Hz):
                  3G talk time - 28:45 hours
                  Web browsing - 14:13 hours
                  Video playback - 17:44 hours

                  S21 Ultra:
                  3G talk time - 35:32 hours
                  Web browsing - 15:04 hours
                  Video playback - 17:53 hours

                  Clearly, Gsmarena's endurance rating model isn't accurate by a long shot.

                            Sony Xperia 1 II has all except IR blaster which is not necessary of you have smart TV and commands through application and network.

                              I owned this phone for a few days before returning it for a refund. I had the Exynos version due to my location.

                              The Positives:
                              * Lovely display with a great 120hz refresh rate
                              * Good options on changing the Always on Display
                              * Nice design and felt good in the hand

                              The Negatives:
                              * Overheated very easily with just basic activity. It felt like my hand had a mini heater on it.
                              * After opening up just several day to day apps, you can notice the lag and stuttering. despite 12GB RAM, the phone is incapable of multitasking a number of apps without stutter.
                              * The video recording was nothing to brag about. I tried both 1080p and 4K in 60fps, but I was rather underwhelmed by the overall video playback.
                              * One UI 3 is good for a number of things, but lacked some very basic things like an App lock and a Hidden App locker. You still need 3rd party apps for this.
                              * I knew full well that I would not get a charger with the phone. However, after using the phone very heavily and experiencing issues, £1200 is a rip off.

                              I will NOT buy another Samsung phone with an Exynos processor ever again.

                                        I am still looking for a powerful flagship with a flat-screen OLED, SD Card slot, dual sim, IR Blaster and 3.5mm jack.
                                        Xiaomi has the closest offering with their Redmi 10X, but unfortunately using MediaTek chipset and mid-range components (eg. cameras etc.)
                                        Any manufacturer releasing such a phone will get my money and I am sure there is quite a large audience for this.
