Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra — Chipset, storage, and more
Samsung’s 2021 flagship has a stunning display
This South Korean brand has often excelled in the display department and 2021 is no different. The Galaxy S21 Ultra sports a massive 6.8-inch AMOLED display that boasts thin bezels and curved edges on either side. The curves themselves are said to be minimal, though, and the panel is close to flat.
These aren’t the standout features, though. That one is the included variable LTPO 120Hz refresh rate tech, which allows the Galaxy S21 Ultra to display super-smooth content without drastically reducing battery life.
The Galaxy S21 Ultra’s camera setup is killer
Where Samsung’s Galaxy S21 Ultra truly excels is in the camera department. An upgraded 108-megapixel main camera that offers optical image stabilization (OIS) and an f/1.8 aperture leads the way.
It’s accompanied by the usual 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle snapper. This one supports a 120-degree field-of-view and an f/2.2 aperture. It doesn’t have OIS, but that is usually the case on all smartphones anyway.

There is an LED flash and laser autofocus too, as well as a versatile zoom system. The latter consists of a 10-megapixel f/2.4 telephoto camera capable of 3x hybrid zoom and a 10-megapixel f/4.9 sensor capable of 10x hybrid zoom.
Both have OIS and the data from both sensors is said to enable 100x Space Zoom. Samsung originally introduced this feature on the S20 Ultra but axed it from the Note 20 Ultra due to its poor reception.
If you like recording video, this may well be the phone for you. The Galaxy S21 Ultra can record 8K video at 30fps and 4K video at 60fps. If you prefer regular 1080p, that can be recorded at up to 240fps.
The selfie camera boasts a 40-megapixel resolution.
