Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra Impressions: Redemption Time!

no overheating issues for you?

im still on s8, and its still a good phone. Phone prices are going to crazy and not worth the money

Everyones obsessed with the latest bling. Great if you dont mind being in constant debt.

I hate Apple (for many reasons but let's focus on) because they stopped including the fucking charger, and then the headphone jack before that, but then I hate Samsung even more for doing ALL THE SAME THINGS APPLE DID but on the Android market and thus normalizing these anti consumer practices to be acceptable for every company in this bloody oligopoly with high barrier to entry. At least LG and Sony (maybe motorola/lenovo too?) are still keeping it based.

S20 Ultra is the reason I switched to iPhone..... Been with Samsung since the first Galaxy S phone.

The two things that are preventing me from buying this phone is no charger and the curved glass. I never understood the function of curved glass, it bugs me so much.

I have a Wacom based drawing tablet, the pen works perfectly with the Ultra.

The phone overheats . DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY .

I take your reviews much better than most, have you have done a comparison with the iPhone 12max??

I feel like samsung has just started changing the design of their phones way to staggeringly with new releases in recent years, the s10 was the last phone that ever felt like it had a set design guideline, yet now each release looks like a phone from a completely different company. I mean they can for sure make more changes then what they did with the s8 to s9, but i feel like they need to find a good design and just stick with it, only gradually building up to a redesign when its needed to keep up with design trends. Also imo i think their phones are getting too "boxy"

That's so funny that Samsung's phones are not bringing neither the charger nor the earphones anymore as Apple did since Apple was so criticized because of that xD

Although I loved many things (esp camera) about this phone, I'm going back to my S20+ due to the lack of microSD slot and MST, and the phone just feels much heavier. I don't think I've ever downgraded but s21 ultra mostly seems like it was a camera revision to the s20 ultra, minus the expandable storage and MST

Who is here after one plus 9 pro event?💯😂

Dose white use more battery or dose Dark mode save battery??

I got s21 ultra with 128 gbs and its full within first month i hate my life i wish i would have gone for 500 gb phone cuz 4k video recording are too big. What do u suggest now should i buy a type c pendrive or ssd?

Hello,mkbhd

Just order the s21 ultra 512gb for 1200$ off amazon

animation of fingerprint unlocking is very ugly

Where can I buy the case from??? Love it x

Ahh man! What a mixed bag the camera has turned out to be (for me). I have the 256GB Exynos, here's my findings on the photography front... In general I think it's fair to say this phone expands the shooting possibilities far beyond any other device I've had to date, which most recently include the S20 FE 5G, Pixel 4XL, Pixel 2XL. For me the choice of focal ranges is what i've been looking for and something I didn't ever expect to see in a package like this. I thought triple lens cameras would be the limit, so the S21 Ultra came as a surprise and I hoped mistakes made in the past generation would be ironed out. The hardware itself is definitely more than capable of handling a multitude of shooting scenarios but it is ultimately let down by the software that I VERY much doubt will be fixed, ever! My first impressions were of the sensor & lens choices themselves, all seem very capable, all include massively improved stabilization and autofocus capabilities and even the pixel sizes are promising particularly on the tele lenses. A clue to Samsung engineering decisions comes with the assumed improvement over to the 108MP pixel binning sensor compared to the S20 Ultra last year, but it serves far more than just taking photos in the wide setting. Samsung are clearly borrowing ideas from the AI kings at Google, but their implementation is weak and in many scenarios I have found using the cameras terribly frustrating. Overall, in brightly lit daytime shots indoors and outdoors with all lenses I cannot complain, but that's as long as you're pointing the camera at certain targets that are deemed ideal for the lens mode you are in! When I venture outside these ideal scenarios I'm ending up with unexpected and awful results. In medium and low light scenes my problem is exacerbated further through Samsungs smart choices that you have no control over whatsoever, giving me further disappointing results. So what am I banging on about here Well in a nutshell it's Samsungs focus assist mode. As an end user you only know it exists because you can selectively turn it off between the 0.6x UW and 1x W lenses when moving a subject much closer to the lens itself...But, you cannot turn it off between the 1x W, 3x tele and 10x tele lenses! In scenarios Sammy deem fit for telephoto shots, ie. extra long focal length scenes (generally) in good light the tele lenses are always picked at the set 3x and 10x magnifications. Pictures are often impressive but at times smoothing could be better and sometimes I get light haloing around objects, but still a big improvement on anything i've had before. It all goes terribly wrong when I bring my subjects much closer to the lenses in either the 3x or 10x tele modes. These lenses have great autofocus and are more than capable of handling this scenario, but what the software does (after a second or two) is pick the next sodding lens down and then upscale the flaming image! Some might say, that's my fault because I've pushed the ISO or shutter speed too much, but no, it's happening when there's more than enough light available to these lenses and even if it wasn't, night mode would overcome this in dark scenes anyhow! Which moves me onto the 108MP sensor, Sammy picked it not just for the 4x binning extra light crud. It also makes for a great cropping in option when deemed necessary, and you'd think the results would be comparable to the 3x tele, but sadly no, in almost every shot i've taken where it's used the 1x to crop in the results are still very disappointing compared to the optical lenses. Smoke and mirrors people, smoke and mirrors! Focus assist should be optional for ALL lenses and if you do turn it off, all it needs to do is warn you that a shot might not come out as well as you expected. Although to be blunt the results with it permanently on are terrible anyway! In fact I personally feel it shouldn't be doing what it's doing at all. Anyone who has ever held a camera and taken a photograph will know these things cannot work miracles, and Samsung are literally trying to trick you into thinking it can, with awful results! If you get the over processed, smushed images they are all coming from the lenses dropping down and upscaling or cropping in from the 108MP sensor. Utterly awful engineering decisions that make it all look seamless and magic but you more often that not get terrible photos.

The idiotic energy connolly explode because aquarius unexplainably risk like a like collar. madly, next bed

I had this great idea for samsung to do you could put your age id for pubs and stuff so instead of having to carry your id around its there on your phone

y it does not have a curved display so it is futile without curved display

Is it just me or does anyone else find the indoor photos in moderate lighting grainy and of generally poor quality? I moved from a pixel 4XL and so far I'm not overly impressed by the photo quality of my S21 Ultra. Nice screen though...

Whose watching on the s21 ultra

To me one plus 7t Pro, 8 Pro has just as good of a display as the S21 ultra, or even slightly better and the software experience, too me is better from the one ➕. I just gave up my 7t Pro for the S21 ultra and I wonder if I made a mistake....

Need more on the cameras! Great vid tho

Better xiaomi xiaomi have good c amera low price good browser and more samsung is too expensive

Is note 10 plus worth it buying in 2021??

I'll wait for the Note

I just don't get buying a 1000$ phone ... With Android.

I heard they got rid of the magnetic secure transmission on the US models (this is what let you use Samsung Pay on literally any credit card terminal). This was the only reason I used Samsung Pay, if they don't bring it back for the S22 I guess I will be switching to Google Pay.

Would you recommend this for GunboundM?

Wait there is no chargers anymore?

Do you know what even older note series S pen will also work on galaxy S 21 ultra older note s pen can also work on This s21 ultra like note 8 s pen 2017 note 10 s pen 2019. Note 20 s pen 2020 if you want more s pen features Go with s pen pro I think it costs a bit expensive than normal s pen....

Unlike so many videos by others who don't speak as clearly, this video is easy to follow. Keep it up!

This is the phone i was planning on getting an yes i will try to get it

The rainy diploma incidentally argue because silver concordantly touch underneath a big fired. nondescript, learned seashore

The Microsd is the one thing samsung had to keep to have my money but sense they took that away i guess I can shop around.

The mise en scene, the script, the camera angles, the ligth, the costumes... the graphics. Maybe the Oscars should open a category for best tech review on youtube...this is cinema❤

Is anyone else's Ultra scratching very easily? 12 hours in, I have scratches everywhere. I thought was an extra screen protector on there but nothing.

S20 Ultra price redemption time

You spend all that money for the best top of the line Phone and they don't include a Charger or Cord? I personally think that consumers have more power then these companies and if we all got together and did a Boycott on these new Phones tthey would get the idea!!

LG has had active pen stylus support with their flagship/ more expensive phones for a few years now I just got the LG Wing and it has support for one

I just watched this video on my new 512 GB S21 Ultra

My laptop has less ram than S21 Ultra.

I purchased it in advance, but there is an infinite boot issue.

The phone I've been waiting for!

What i liked about the Note 8, is the rectangle shape and the looks, it looked so drooling good :), the pen well, i rarely used it, only simple writing but never the advanced features anyways. But I'm gonna have to get used to note having a Samsung note anymore but an S :)

i'm getting it next monday :), i had a note 8 and i was tempted to go to the latest Note 20 ultra, but its last yrs model. The Note 21 is still unsure or for sure months away if they gonna bring it. But this will keep me happy till the Surface Duo v2.0 (if its improved then the way we like it). Still miss the windows phones, but this is as close as it gets, so i guess its Android. Dislike IOS although the phones itself are great, but i dont like the OS and the almost communistic Apple environment :D

S30 or S22??

Just subscribed,Love the video's great job! This helps A LOT!!

No sd card support???? No charger??? Same camera??? S pen cost 40 bucks extra??? And the same auto focus issue and bad zooming i tried at Best Buy looking at s21 ultra,,, just a 2020 s20 ultra rollover geee Samsung FAILURE 2021 no note 21 ultra?? Or the same crap samcrap Samsung????

Can the s21 cast to tv without using Chromecast or a router, i.e. just using WiFi data? I don't have a router, just use my unlimited data on T-Mobile. I'm cheap, just use my data for internet. Been using a Netgear Push2TV to cast to tv, hoping s21 can cast using the Push2TV.

Maybe my Note 9 will start to appreciate, the way things are going with the newer Samsungs 🤣🤣🤣

Heating up in normal usage exynos 2100 india

Marquez please never forget to put thrle link of wallpaper please 🍏

I'ma wait till the cameras are under the screen to upgrade, have an s10+

who thought no charger was a good idea 🥺

This is my first time checking out one of your videos, great comparison video btw, I have a couple of questions thought, I’m an iPhone kind of girl you can say that’s what I preferred mostly, but I loved to have a Samsung phone before when Apple didn’t make big phones which was prior to iPhone 6, so I got a Samsung galaxy note 3 at the time, but I hated the ads that would keep popping up and there was no way to block them , not even Samsung can help with that ! And also battery was draining fast even though I was using it as a back up phone , no gaming or shooting videos or anything that would justify that , did you have any of these issues with this one? Also i have heard before that iPhones and Apple products are so safe that you don’t need anti-virus or any security program apps to protect your info and privacy , and that’s not the case with Samsung phones and it’s not safe without anti-virus programs but I don’t know if it would be secured even with the help of those? What is your experience or information about that please?

512GB ultra 16GB Ram with the stylus pen accessory, unless the note comes out, GOD only knows if I'll be able to afford it, wonder when that next stimulus check ganna drop?

Hello, everyone. Please support me by subscribing to my channel! This means so much if you do!

I want this one, but I don't want to pay for it. Lol

RIP APPLE

That thing is beyond hideous

Marcus, I know you are busy, but please look into the ultrasonic sensor on the Exynos S21 Ultra. It is NOT ultrasonic, it is exactly the same as on my trusty old Note 10+ I made a MRcameras video to show my trying about 100x to scan my left thumb... just pathetic, and very annoying. I returned my S20 Ultra after 2 days, returned my Note 20 Ultra after one day, and will be returning my S21 Ultra tomorrow. @UpgQ

6:00 Give me break, how are you suppose to shoot 8k videos if your storage gets filled by shooting 8k. The S21 Ultra was so close to being a perfect phone if the hadn't removed the sd slot. Stupid move by Samsung for not including a micro sd...I miss the 1.5TB expandable feature. Dame it Samsung get your shit together.

That's it! Waiting for the Note!

What an amazing video! Thanks for the tips! I have also posted a video showing my first impressions of the Samsung S21 Ultra with x100 test! - Check It out!

Did you notice any overheating issues? I've been reading many reports of the phone overheating. Yet, none of the MRcameras reviews I've seen mention this.

Watching on my S21 Ultra with earbuds pro..👌 Yes!!! 🤩🤩🤩

The biggest phones still look small in MKBHD's mitts.

Damn looks like I'm keeping my S10+ for 10+ years cuz I'm keeping my damn wires 😂

How many people hate Exynos prosessor 🤮 . 👇Hit like

what a sh*t video. OMG.

No way in buying stupid Google and apple products they are not for freedom

Gah, and I just got the Note20 Ultra 3 weeks ago, FML!

Lmao how much do people use their phone cameras for real... the shift from digital camera due all to smartphone for all had been so rapid

I hope they can enable portrait mode with the 3x lens

I only liked Android once I got Huawei phones. When Huawei was banned I went back to iPhone but iPhone feels archaic. I want to get an android again but not samsung. Maybe I’ll try Sony.

I dislike this trend of 3-4 cameras. I just need 1 main. Main cameras are percectly capable of taking macros, or zooming, for that matter. Not that I would need zoom much. Well, I can justify a 1 extra wide camera for the scenery, its nice to have, but that's it. The rest is just making phones more expensive

How do you redeem the buds ?

I have the s21 ultra and it's A beast 💪😎 love this phone

Goodday can you review midranges phone like infinix note 8

Please compare cameras with Mate 40 Pro +

How are you supposed to charge you phone now that no charger is sent? No headphones either?? Paying upwards of 1k to get less? And people accept that?? How much more do you have to pay to be able to charge your damn phone and get headphones? No value no help to the consumer just ripping off the Benjamin's off of people like theres no tomorrow. It's like buying a damn car with no gas tank. Next they'll sell us the phones in parts so you pay for everything separated and build it yourself. This is BS. No one needs 17 cameras on the back it looks ridículous. Im pretty sure that people who value image quality and recording would just prefer to buy a pro camera because in these phones it's all about the "novelty" of slapping countless cameras and the performance isn't worth the space it occupies and in my opinion it looks ugly. I prefer the look of the other cheaper versions. These companies must burst with laughter and enjoyment on how they actually manage to give less and still charge big for their products.

“How many cameras do you want?” Samsung: Yes

Bro..please gift to me s21 ultra...I m from poor background...

When phones are getting 16gb ram and my phone still has 16gb storage :")

My s21 ultra just died on me suddenly with the black screen of death. Back up your stuff guys.

Seeing all those holes so close together makes me feel uncomfortable lol

Beautiful phone

3:51 black russian - something out of Archer

No charger? Wtf

So many cameras wtf is this shit

Watching This From Galaxy S9 Still Love It!!!
