Bought it to replace my S9. Not happy:
- camera is the worst one out there and its not just me - see S21 Ultra camera terrible quality thread on the official Samsung forum - it produces massive noise in all modes but RAW, however manipulating settings manually while in Pro, which shoots RAW, is a PITA
- Camera bump design is not comfortable
- No charger in the box and with older charges it just takes a century to charge
- Still getting very hot when video calling
- Speakers weaker than S9 - they have some adaptive volume feature that reduces output if music is deemed too loud but phone just sounds like a EUR 200 one
- Bixby as useless as before
- No 3.5mm jack on such a massive phone - its not just proper headphones you cannot connect, but also most types of external speaker that had a 3.5mm port. So, thanks to Samsung I now have to replace about anything with BT compatible devices. I cannot even play a backing track through my guitar amp as I could through the S9. Bullshit.
+ Great battery life
+ Very good display
+ No commercials from Samsung, at least for now
In my opinion, massively overrated phone. Massively.

I'm still waiting to receive this phone, but I certainly hope that it somewhat lives up to its specs sheet. The camera will definitely be very interesting to test, as reviews from DXOMark claim that this camera performs much worse than its predecessor. I'm also quite interested to see whether the performance of the new Exonys 2100 chip closes the gap between the SD 888 or not. All in all, this phone is already looking much more premium than its overrated iOS counterpart.

Hey please anyone tell me does the heats up and if it heats up then how much means can it be used or not as mainly i have to take pictures and make long videos so please guys tell me your reviews regarding this
The worst thing they did with s21 uktra exynoss ir snapdrsgon varient is that they limit us in using only akg wired earphones. Anyother beand type c headphone shows "device not supported " error upon pluging in. That's a stupied step. We are made limited to use only AKG shit.....🤬
i really planned to buy this phone but whatever i did i couldnt force myself to buy a phone which does not support micro sd slot and also 512 gb of s21 ultra is very expensive.so i still go forward with my current phone to see if samsung will release any other phone with sd support or not
