The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is a huge, powerful Android phone with no fewer than five cameras. The main 108-megapixel sensor is the best Samsung has ever shipped, the Snapdragon 888 is fast, and the battery lasts a long time.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is the very best of what Samsung can pack into a smartphone. It wowed us with a huge screen, five cameras and the best zoom on any readily available Android phone. Caution: while it's cheaper than last year’s ‘Ultra’ phone, it remains pricey for average consumers, and it doesn’t come with a microSD card slot nor does it include a charger.

It’s big, powerful and very capable. If you’re after the very best Samsung Galaxy S21 model and money is no object, the Ultra is the one for you. It’s a big upgrade over the S20 Ultra, fixing the focus issues and improving battery life. It is very pricey though, especially when the regular S21 has become more affordable.

The Galaxy S21 Ultra is a no-holds-barred uber-flagship with sizeable proportions and a high price, but for your money, you get the most uncompromisingly capable smartphone on the market right now

El Galaxy S21 Ultra es el actual buque insignia de Samsung y como tal, no escatima en ningún apartado de rendimiento, calidad de cámaras, diseño y autonomía. Ahora, también puedes utilizar el S-Pen para emular las tareas de un Galaxy Note. Todo ello tiene un alto coste.

The Galaxy S21 Ultra is indisputably the best Android phone you can buy right now. But it’s still too big and too expensive for all but a small audience of enthusiasts.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is about as capable as a smartphone can get without folding in half or rolling up (and those new form factors often have trade-offs). It has a high price, but it's justified compared to past Ultra models. Anyone who just wants a big Galaxy can save a lot and just get the S21+, but for killer camera zoom levels, a more premium construction, and S Pen support, the Galaxy S21 Ultra merits the increased price.

5G networks in Germany are by and large not yet fully implemented. Samsung attempts to offer all users a smartphone capable of utilizing the available 5G performance in their respective countries.

¡Sorpresa! El Galaxy S21 Ultra se va a lanzar un mes antes de lo previsto, y esa es una gran noticia si estás ansioso por tener este smartphone con todo lo mejor de Samsung. Nos sorprendió con una pantalla enorme, cinco cámaras y el mejor zoom disponible en cualquier teléfono Android. Precaución: si bien es más barato que el "Ultra" del año pasado, seguirá resultándole caro a la mayoría de consumidores y, además, no tiene ranura para tarjetas microSD ni viene con cargador.
