About this deal

On T-Mobile, things got interesting. T-Mobile's network forced my S21 into "standalone 5G" mode. Most 5G connections in the US right now are at least half 4G. Standalone 5G, which eschews 4G, gives you lower latency and less chance of overloaded networks in crowded conditions, but you end up with slower overall speeds because you're losing the add-on 4G components. After a few days of use, I didn’t notice any real difference in how the pen worked and it offered near identical performance to what I experienced testing the Note 20 Ultra. It’s just as responsive to draw with and it remains handy to have. As there’s no way to charge the S Pen on the S21 Ultra, some of the features that require Bluetooth are gone however. But truthfully, I can’t say I have used these Air Gestures outside of reviewing a Note so the loss feels minimal. The Galaxy S21 models are the first phones to use Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 888 processor. The chip enables new features without really enhancing benchmarked speed. However, in the long run, the features probably matter more.

The Galaxy S21 Ultra is also available through UK and US network vendors, if you don’t wish to buy the handset outright and prefer to pay in instalments. The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra phone stands as the most technologically advanced model in the new flagship line-up. The Galaxy S21 Ultra is the first main flagship device from the brand to ditch expandable microSD support in a number of years, meaning you need to choose wisely when you buy the phone. This feels like more of an issue on the S21 and S21 Plus, as they don’t offer the 512GB option you can get with the Ultra. The iPhone 12 Pro's Apple A14 processor scores noticeably higher on both benchmarks: 1,599 SC/4,006 MC on Geekbench, and 70fps on the offscreen GFXBench Car Chase benchmark. Ans. Yes, Samsung Galaxy S21 has 5G: Supported by the device, 4G: Available, 3G: Available, 2G: Available. Q7. Where to buy Samsung Galaxy S21 online in the UAE?With UWB, smart tags can tell you not only whether you're near them, but which direction they're in. The cameras also receive their fair share of upgrades this year. Indeed, the Ultra is the only S21 phone to come with a 108MP (f/1.8) main camera and it also comes with a pair of 10MP telephoto lenses. Sitting at the top of Samsung’s new flagship trio, the Galaxy S21 Ultra has everything you could want from a top-end flagship phone, including a gigantic 6.8in screen, a smattering of rear and front-facing cameras, up to 512GB of internal storage and the option to upgrade to a – frankly bonkers – 16GB of RAM. It’s also the first Samsung phone to come with Android 11 pre-installed, and it can record 8K video, just like last year’s Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra review: Price and competition In a move that shows the degree to which Samsung is positioning this handset as the ‘true’ S21 flagship, this is the only phone of the trio to ship with both an adaptive refresh rate that can move between 10Hz and 120Hz and maintain a 1440p WQHD resolution. The icing on the cake is that both of these features can finally be used together, something that wasn’t possible with any of Samsung’s 2020 phones.

Octa core (2.9 GHz, Single core, Cortex X1 + 2.8 GHz, Tri core, Cortex A78 + 2.2 GHz, Quad core, Cortex A55)The adaptive nature of the refresh rate offers an interesting benefit by way of improved battery life. The idea is similar to the workings of ProMotion on Apple’s iPad Pro, rattling up and down the display speed to ensure that energy isn’t being wasted if there’s no visible benefit. Compared to Apple’s most sizeable handset, however, the Galaxy S21 Ultra is the nicer phone to hold. It’s slightly narrower, and the rounded sides make it far comfier in the hand than the harsh edges of the 12 Pro Max I tested last year. Where the Galaxy S21 Ultra has seen the biggest improvement is in the graphics rendering department. With an average frame rate of 93fps in the GFXBench Manhattan on-screen test (at native WQHD resolution), the S21 Ultra’s GPU performance is almost double that of last year’s S20 Ultra. Drop the screen resolution down to FHD+ and the frame rate jumps to 118fps. Where Samsung loses some of its shine is the software. Shooting at full 108MP still leads to a noticeable slowdown. On top of that, I couldn’t find an easy way for the camera to automatically jump into the brightness-increasing low-light Night Mode. Instead I had to manually flip to the option. I also found the brand’s AI scene optimiser doesn’t cope well with landscapes (everything is too green), even though it does add an extra sparkle to food shots. Performance

The Samsung Galaxy S21 and S21+ have the same optical system in terms of optics. The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra has a punch-hole selfie camera with a 40-megapixel sensor and dual-pixel AF. The S21 pair can capture high-quality footage at 8K 30FPS because of its 30x Space Zoom. Samsung Galaxy S21, S21+ and S21 Ultra 5G Price in Dubai, UAE Taking the phone out of the box, it’s immediately obvious that two notable areas Samsung has made improvements – compared to the older S20 Ultra – relate to the S21’s screen and design. While neither were particularly poor, the bevvy of big and small changes add up to make this year’s device the one Samsung really should have launched last year when it first introduced the ‘Ultra’ branding. Samsung's Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, and Galaxy S21 all have 5G connections, with the Galaxy S21 having a 6.2" screen and the Galaxy S21+ having a 6.7" screen. The Galaxy S21 Ultra's display panel is identical to that of its smaller siblings, except that it is somewhat larger at 6.8". Storage:Camera improvements include enhanced noise reduction in low-light conditions, as well as the ability to slow down multiple instances in a single slow-mo video. You can also grab a still image directly from 8K footage, and add virtual lighting in portrait pictures. MP, f/1.6, 26mm (wide), 1.7µm, dual pixel PDAF, sensor-shift OIS / 12 MP, f/2.4, 120˚, 13mm (ultrawide) Absolutely! The Samsung Galaxy S21 smartphone series is one of Samsung's flagship phone series in 2021 alongside the groundbreaking Galaxy Z range which includes the epic folding phones; Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy Z Flip3, the 2022 releases of the Galaxy Z Fold4 and Galaxy Flip4, and more recently the ground-breaking 2023 foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold5 and Galaxy Flip5. The phones in the Galaxy S21 are bursting with industry leading tech, professional grade cameras and crystal clear, super responsive screens. The intelligent processors and large powerful batteries keep Galaxy S21 smartphones running smoothly throughout the day and well into the night. So whether you're multitasking, gaming or filming 8K video content you can rest safe in the knowledge that your phone has you covered. All the Samsung smartphones in the Galaxy S21 series are 5G compatible* so they are future proofed for the next generation. Not to mention the premium design features and fabulous choice of colours to choose from. This is also the first Samsung phone to launch without a charger in the box. Following in Apple’s footsteps, Samsung says the charger’s removal is an effort to reduce the environmental impact of the phone, but it also says that it “removes any pressure that consumers may feel towards continually receiving unnecessary charger accessories with new phones”.

The new design is a huge improvement, and for such a sizeable phone I found it feels comfortable to hold, more so than the iPhone 12 Pro Max Also Read - How to Choose the Best Mobile or Smartphone In 2023? Frequently Added Questions - Samsung Galaxy S21 Q1. What is the cost of Samsung S21 in UAE?This is bad news for consumers who are looking to make the switch from iPhone to Samsung, since the Galaxy S21 Ultra charges via USB-C and thus doesn’t support Apple’s Lightning cable. Perhaps a more consumer-friendly tactic would be to provide a choice as to whether or not the charger was included, instead of removing it entirely. Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra review: Display
