Good. What about ultra long-term review for S21 ?
My Exynos S21 Ultra worked like a charm in gaming untill 3 days ago. For example, Real Racing 3 was running at 120fps constantley regardless the temperature, only minor drops over 43°C. Since 3 days afi, even at 30°C, it never goes higher than 60-70 fps and temp just stays at 38-39°C. I had the same problem with my ex Note 10+: worked at maximum 60 fps (as the screen permited) for whole 1 and a half year even at 42°C+, then suddenly droped to 25-30 fps regardles the temperature of the phone. At that time i went to the Samsung service and they had changed the screen, CPU/GPU and the battery. None of those parts where damaged but they replaced them anyway after i told them of this issue. Unfortunatley the issue was still there like nothing changed. Now i can go again to the Samsung service with my S21 but after the experience with the all renewed Note 10, i fear that i will change hardware parts for nothing. It is a software limitation that takes place after some time? Did someone else has this issue? Please don't reply if you don't know abot this issue.

Phoney, 19 Jul 2021I have S21 Ultra and iPhone 12. The heaviness of S21 hampers its usability as a daily driver. ... moreI think the weight difference of the two are negligible, but i case the phone case plays a role in that.
In South Africa we don't get the snapdragon version. I don't pay such a huge amount for a phone with a junk processor. I will rather keep my Mate 20 Pro
raycon , 17 Jul 2021I have this phone and I totally hate it, haven't hated anything more in my life.
Samsung... moreThat I agree with, hate those childish icons.
That coupled with Samsung's need to randomly move stuff around in Settings and change how standard functions work drives me nuts.
I have S21 Ultra and iPhone 12. The heaviness of S21 hampers its usability as a daily driver. I wanted to use it often but it is so heavy. But when I use iPhone 12 I really miss the screen size of S21 Ultra. I hope the next Ultra remains at 200 grams like the Note 20 Ultra. The use of S21 Ultra is only when travelling especially that many people are now vaccinated and almost all countries are open for tourism. The zoom lens is just wonderful.
Putting the SIM tool in to the mic hole does nothing, as the mic (like every other phone) is at the end of another hole that's in the side of the visible hole. Call yourselves phone reviewers, sheesh.
Anonymous, 18 Jul 2021For all of the good things the whole s21 line fails on the regular camera. It's all well ... moreProbably a defective piece. Yes, you need to send it back.

johnny, 18 Jul 2021I really want multiple phones but the idea of having to swap the SIM cards is annoyingWouldn't call forwarding solve that issue?
Can't focus properly in the dark anymore (night mode / night auto-mode).
Possibly after the latest update, as I think before that it was okay.
(Exynos version.)
For all of the good things the whole s21 line fails on the regular camera. It's all well and good being able to shoot super slow mo 128k video but if a 1000 phone can't take a quick, good quality normal picture then something is wrong. My kids pixel 4a takes significantly better pictures. I sent my Samsung back.

Luk, 18 Jul 2021Dear reviewer, "the samsung look" you can switch off in camera settings. Overall gre... moreHow do you do it?
They should make the battery a bit thicker and the phone smaller. To get a better weight balance. Or use new battery technologies.
It is a bulky and fat phone. I'd personally go for S21+ and keep carying a mirorless camera for event pictures. For everyday shots there is no big difference between normal S21 and Ultra.
Dear reviewer, "the samsung look" you can switch off in camera settings. Overall great review with all pros and cons, thanks!
