samsung galaxy s21 ultra smartphone full review with pros and cons

 

[Music] hi guys this is ranjeet and in this uh video let's do the unboxing and have a first look at the samsung galaxy s21 ultra 5g it's a very long name and this is the new flagship from samsung if you want the best then the ultra is for you yes i know it's very expensive uh this is the base variant that comes with 256 gigabytes of uh storage and 12 gigabytes of ram and this is for one lakh 6000 there's also one more variant that will come with 512 gigabytes of storage uh that has 16 gigabytes of ram but that is actually priced at a 1 lakh 17 there will be some offers initial booking offers uh 

 let's open this up and have a look now and again this is a camera centric smartphone guys and of course yes it has 5g let me just open this up wow this is the first time i'm looking at it it has some heft but it feels very premium guys so a protective screen that's out and back uh this is the new color guys this is actually known as phantom black and it has a matte finish guys so fingerprints uh it resists i would say and we have one more actually wow so many stickers so we have this design they're calling this the contour design we have four cameras at 

the back and i like the back uh this color phantom black if you like those black colors sort of a matte finish looks actually nice uh this is supposed to be a gorilla victor's glass back and even on the front so let's put this to the side and let's see what else do we get and if you notice nothing in the box uh that's the new trend now with flagship smartphones no charger in the box guys so that's what it is so you're getting a usb cable and it's type c to type c and what else some quick start guide warranty card yes it's there it's stuck in here as you can see i thought that is also basic so we have the sim ejector tool i'll just take that out nothing much in the box this is the new trend that we are seeing now with flagship sag no charger uh technically it supports fast

charging up to 25 watts so if you have any of the old 25 watt chargers it will work um so let me give you a physical overview guys uh on the top actually uh uh we have actually two microphones that's interesting so dual microphones at the top and here is the volume rocker and here is the parana one again i like this cow tool design it looks actually nice here it is glossy but it is actually matte so it's the dual tone finish that you're getting uh bottom the main speaker uh your type c port and your

 sim uh main microphone actually and your sim card is over here so let's just pop in and guys uh no sd card on these new s 21 series so what storage you have is what you get as you can see uh it's just dude nano sim uh the micro sd card is out and again yes this is 5g compatible so that's what we have and front facing camera is supposed to be a massive 40 megapixel on uh this one and it has that heif but actually strangely it feels nice in the hand so let me do one thing let me actually just power this on guys i hope it has a charge and by the time it actually boots up and we set it up here is a configuration overview the samsung galaxy s21 ultra is having a 6.8 inch dynamic amoled screen it's a quad hd plus screen with 120 hertz refresh rate and it can go up to 1500 nits in brightness it's powered by the exynos 2100 soc which is a new one based on 5 nanometer process it comes in 12 or 16 gigabytes 

of ram and storage will be 256 or 512. moving to the camera we have a quad rear facing camera setup the main camera is 108 megapixel uh that has ois then we have a 12 megapixel that's ultra wide then we have a 10 megapixel uh that's 3x zoom and another 10 megapixel that's actually 10x zoom front facing camera is 40 megapixel and it has a 5000mah battery so guys it's actually the next day i've set up this device in fact i've moved my primary sim from the phone as you guys know i was using the food to this one and also have set it up and installed some apps so let me give you a quick overview of this uh s21 ultra and uh as i've told you it feels slightly on the heavier side but now i'm getting used to this weight after about 12 hours of use certainly uh the back still looks nice it's not a fingerprint magnetized it avoids the fingerprints and i've changed the wallpaper guys and i've installed some apps also you can set the screen to 

120 hertz on this one and the thing with the new s21 ultra is that it also works with the s pen this is a s pen that i had with the old note and it's working as you can see uh the s pen is not supplied in the box you have to purchase it separately but as you can see the s pen functionality one works and all the s pen functions that you found on the note are sort of there on even this one so that is there and if you go to the settings guys over here uh by default uh the display uh would be in the full hd plus but

i've set it to that quad hd plus and even in quad hd plus the good thing is that uh if you go to the motion it is on 120 that's adaptive what do you mean by adaptive adaptive means it will move between 120 to 10 hertz for example right now nothing is moving so it might be on 10 hertz so that way it saves the battery and i have to say very smooth in operations as you can see no jerkiness or anything so this really works very well uh the animations and everything so i'm actually using it on 120 and i've kept it to that quad hd also uh let's see how the battery life it gives uh yesterday i charged 100 right now it's at 56 but again this is too early to judge the battery life guys because i've migrated all the apps so it might be doing indexing etc but looks like the battery initial impressions the looks like the battery life would be better than the exynos 990 and in fact samsung says that this new exynos uh uh what do you say uh what is this 2100 is actually more power efficient let me just invoke the cpu z and as you can see it's the exynos 

2100 that we are having here and according to samsung uh the cpu is about 20 faster and even the gpu is about 35 percent faster and i played call of duty casually and it was a very smooth experience i would say so that way it's nice again it's too early to judge the battery life and other aspects of this device uh but looks good because at night the the idle drain is good it was not draining the battery a lot and if i go to what where is that battery life it's here as you can see if i see the chart at night uh it did not drop the battery a lot so that was actually a good thing another small thing that i've noticed is that looks like the fingerprint scanner is now improved as you can see it's a lot faster and works almost most of the time uh this was an issue with earlier uh s20 series and even the note series the fingerprint scanner 

 used to be slightly sluggish so looks like samsung really improved that one on this one so that's actually a nice thing again this also has that stereo speakers let me actually play one of my own videos to give you an idea about it uh let's just play this what do you say this hi guys this is ranjit and in this video let's do the unboxing and have a first look at this new mac so as you saw uh it's actually good and it's adequately loud i would say i was mostly keeping it around 80 percent loudness but at 100 it becomes actually uh pretty loud so that way it's uh nice and general operations as of now is good uh even i did not have any

 issues with memory management guys uh many of the apps for example i do use truecaller they were resident in memory so that my initial impressions uh the memory management is good uh in fact i also got one ota update it was one gigabyte update i applied it it's on android 11 as of now and this is the new one ui 3.1 that we are getting on this and it looks to be good very fluid as of now but now let's also look at the camera which i feel is a very important part of this smartphone and one important thing you might be getting this smartphone is for that camera so uh the first camera as you can see

 this is actually a 12 megapixel and this is that ultra white camera that we're getting this middle one is actually the 108 megapixel it's the new samsung sensor guys the second generation one and if you notice this this is actually that periscope 10x zoom and uh this is also a zoom lens and this is that 3x zoom it actually has two zoom lenses and uh this is actually laser auto focusing system so we have four cameras and that's laser auto focusing system let me quickly uh give you an idea about the camera interface it has moved a little bit and if i go over here you have all the views i actually changed a few guys this is the default view that you'll get 1x wide angle and again very fast in taking pictures of course it has ufs 3.1 which is very very fast you have this 3x zoom and even the scenic zone right it's difficult to show here in the studio i've taken some samples i'll show you later uh but i also found some new

 modes in this we have a single take that is sort of improved on this one uh compared to the older version slightly better i would say but we have this new thing known as director view and uh uh if you go in more we have actually a lot more modes in this one i like this director's view on this one and if you notice uh right now yeah i have this front facing camera i'll just remove this guys why did i invoke that s pen ah so you have this front facing camera and it's also showing you the rear facing camera but if you look at these three if you can see it's actually showing us even from here i can move to the wide angle regular and the zoom so by just looking at this i know exactly what frame is this and this can be actually pretty useful

in fact i shot a small video with this one and i'll show you that and i feel the front facing camera is actually really good on this one uh it's a 40 megapixel front facing camera and like earlier samsung folds also uh you can actually zoom out a little bit uh so cameras initial impressions look to be good uh again as i told you guys i just played with the camera yesterday night so i'll add more samples later on but here are some of the samples that i have taken with this one so this was the regular shot and this was

that ultra wide angle back to the regular shot and here i used this 3x uh zoom and now this is actually that 10x zoom it's actually pretty clear and this was that 30x zoom and this was taken with the front-facing camera and here i use the portrait mode and the portrait mode in wide angle and these were taken in completely artificial lighting in my office and as you can see this was that 3x zoom and this was that 10x so even in completely artificial lighting i would say the camera was producing some very good results as you can see this was that regular shot and this was that wide angle shot this i shot earlier in the morning when i just woke up this is the director view it's recording from the front facing as well as the back and i can change the i can change to wide angle this is that regular you can even go zoom and you get actually a preview so this is actually a nice thing for vloggers and stuff i think so this director move can be a good uh option now recording this uh video with the front facing camera and as you can see guys that this is in my office and this is in completely artificial lighting and the thing with this s21 ultra 

is that with all the cameras actually you can record the video in 4k in fact with the rear facing camera you can even record that 8k so guys uh that was the unboxing and first look at the samsung galaxy s21 ultra 5g again still a very long name i would say uh so what do you guys think about uh this one so i feel now samsung's that highest range is now that ultra slowly they're moving to that one so what do you guys think about this one certainly i would say initial impressions it's actually looks good but again guys this

 is nowhere review i will test this out a lot more uh probably i'll use it for the next week or ten days and thereafter i'll come up with my detailed in uh what is a review but initial impressions it actually looks good and if you always wanted that uh flagship kind of android smartphone from samsung then i think so this is the one uh but i anyways guys stay tuned to my channel for the full review again now one more thing i noticed is that uh i'll also leave links of samsung what do you say registration page as well as amazon india on amazon india i noticed that they are giving a 10 000 cashback if you use the htfc card so i don't get it why could they just price it directly at 96 000 instead of that one lakh six thousand but anyways guys i'll leave the links in the description so do check them out so what do you guys feel about this samsung galaxy s21 ultra 5g do let me know in the comment section below and guys  guys take care catch you later
