Alas, there is no other way - Samsung's flagships have long been deprived of a 3.5 mm audio jack. As well as a slot for a memory card.

The largest and clearest screen

Diagonal 6.8 inches is the maximum for awkward smartphones. Here the screen is not only huge, but also of high quality. Thanks to a resolution of 3200x1440 pixels and a density of 516 PPI, the smartphone outshone its competitors with picture clarity.

The bright novelty of January 2021 instantly became one of the most discussed and desired smartphones of the year. A record stock of RAM, combined with a fast processor and 512 GB of internal memory, made the device a very convenient personal device for all occasions. It is easy to run and store any files and programs on it. In addition, this is a cool camera phone with a block of four cameras with a maximum resolution of 108 megapixels, laser autofocus and optical stabilization. Photographer's dream. However, despite the huge price tag, the smartphone is not the best in everything. A 5000 mAh battery is not enough for such a powerful filling and an energy-intensive screen, which is confirmed by the feedback from the first buyers of the S21 Ultra 5G. At the same time, it can noticeably warm up under heavy loads.

Pros and cons

The processor delivers up to 2.84 GHz, and a well-thought-out system ensures trouble-free operation. At the same time, the device consumes energy quite economically and is equipped with a decent battery with a capacity of 4300 mAh, which is slightly above average. This allows you not to worry about charging during the day. But, despite the good hardware, the body of the smartphone is quite thin and compact, which means it fits well in the hand. It is also appreciated for very good photos and full-fledged stereo speakers, one of the best in the category. However, the device, for all its functionality, did not receive support for wireless charging, and the light sensor sometimes slightly underestimates the brightness.

Pros and cons
