If you're getting an S21, what phone are you replacing? Also, do you think there will be a new Galaxy Note this year? they can't replace it with just THIS kinda of s-pen right???
S20, I'm desperate to ditch the Exynos 990 varient
Would this be an ideal upgrade versus the Huawei Mate 20 Pro?
Not getting a Samsung phone without microSD ever again.
I'm torn on whether or not to jump from my iPhone 8 Plus. I'd be getting the 256gb S21. Too many reviews focus on "here's why this phone is worse than the S20" and not enough focus on "is this phone good at what it offers". If it's good, I buy. If not, I wait. I would love to get a OnePlus 8 Pro (or future 9 equivalent) but the inconsistency I hear about carrier band support, it's just not worth it for me.
Its kinda disappointing of 1080p screen and why s pen . I dont want to get note series destroyed
Dave2D: This is not a special black.
MKBHD: And I took that personally.
But, it kinda is. How many matte black phones are there?
@@gamingpriests matte black never gets old and this phone does it really well
@@gamingpriests do a quick google search and you’d find a bunch.
@@gamingpriests tell me a phone that looks like this phantom black, iphone matte black doesn't come close
@@Paradox81818 pixel 5 black is also really good
MKBHD: “S21 Ultra Phantom Black kinda speaks to me”
D2D: “It’s just a regular black phone”
They should have made a teal one.
I was going to post something similar. Haha.
Kinda speaks to him because he’s .....
i’m not saying it 🙂
When I held the phone I had the same feeling. It's just a black phone. Mind blown.
Well he likes teal😂😂😂
1080p on a 15in laptop: eh, it’s fine
1080p on a 6in phone: THATS DISGUSTING, I COULD SEE THE PIXELS !
Its a weird world we are living in.
It's because of the distance, you hold uour phone a couple of inches from your face while a laptop you hold it at least a foot distance
Ikr
Dave is just spoiled
@@isadinparviz4653 he's not in this case because even S7 has a 1440p screen resolution. They literally have no reason to downgrade it yet they did it, they have phones that are way better without spending 800$.
I still have my S10e. It came with a charger in box, it has a headphone jack (I listen to high quality IEMs) and it has a micro SD slot. Plus a great form factor at just 5.8".. I'll keep it, thanks.
Has everyone just forgotten about the Samsung Galaxy S10e and its perpetually 1080p resolution screen? Of all the phones I’ve owned, I’ve held onto the S10e the longest.
I wish smaller phones were more of a thing, I hate big phones so much.
S5 galaxy I have it for 7 years now
Funny that he says the S21 is nothing special, but says the iPhone is amazing when it looks the same for the last 3 years!
🤷🏽♂️
Basically, the s21 is an S20 redux done as it should have been with things taken away. I guess you could say it costs less but still looking at the spec and compare with what we will be getting in the UK and the s21 is very expensive still. Nothing really new, bits missing and issues of the s20 resolved so I can see that perspective. It will not matter to Samsung fans but over here in the UK it is Exynos so sub-par to what we will be seeing in the next few months. Strictly for the superfans that will buy Samsung whatever.
When every comment under an informative video is literally the color black. Ya'll are a different class of special.
7:40 That difference between the dynamic range on the s21 and iphone 12 blew me away
Bang on! Would love Exynos comparison, for the market I am in!
How much longer do we have to keep caring about cameras.
Like you can't tell me that they removed the superfluous features like 'cheap modular extra storage' for poor 100x zoom. That's nonsense. I use the sd card slot for all my music, photos, and documents. If your solution is to get on Spotify or a cloud based storage service, then you're out of your mind if you think that's a more affordable longterm.
I am thinking a couple of more years until a new thing about phones come out.. else we are stuck with it for a decade
@@saikrishnapulivarthi7647 you're not going to be using phones in this form factor in a decade
"you and I are not the average consumer"
Me, with my FIRST GEN iPhone SE, and just like your reviews and is thinking about getting the S21: "hell yeah! part of the tech nerd gang!"
the best youtuber-tech viewer ever! I usually decide whether I'll buy an x phone after watching his review. Not an ad (who am I to ad anyway?!), but with Dave Lee, you'll get what you need without that bla bla in less than 20 min. he's not a big fan of big numbers and focuses more on the user experience, which is something I admire in the middle of this messy jungle of big numbers. So spare and basic but much more effective than anyone else. Keep being simple and effective Lee! and waiting for your review of the next upcoming OnePlus 9/ 9pro.
This is a great review! Thanks Dave.
Now for the enthusiasts, do we have a phone with a headphone jack and SD card to look forward to?
Dude that is by far the best Black color on a phone I have ever seen. I don't want a phone that big or expensive. And I much prefer plastic to glass because of durability and as I don't use cases. But that black on the ultra is absolutely gorgeous. Wish I had the cash to get it.
DAVE:this is not perfect black
MKBHD FANS: TAKE UR WORDS BACK MISTER
If companies wanna get a little praise from MKBHD they should release a matte black colour, if they wanna get praise from Dave then they should release a teal colour😉😎
Coming from MKBHD's video about the S21 I realize how lazy of a review this is...
huh?
If they got rid of the micro SD card slot on the ultra, they should've at least made it minimum 256gb
Thanks for the review Polyp - Been debating on trading in my note 9 for this but I love my built in stylus to much. Have a good one brotha - Path
Dave, I'm so glad you pointed out how the black on the s21 ultra is nothing special. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why some reviewers like MKBHD were creamin' their pants over it. To me it's JUST BLACK! Nothing special and It's boring AF. Now, that brown one with the carbon fiber black camera bump...THAT looks dope! Can't wait to see that one in person!
It is a special black...and Most of the owners said this!! See twitter feed or TH-cam videos everyone appreciated how this Black looks!!
If anyone else is wondering what is that huge chimney doing in downtown Toronto, it's a centralized heating/cooling system for a bunch of the surrounding buildings. (www.enwave.com/locations/toronto.htm)
Any idea why Samsung's portrait mode doesn't use the telephoto lens? It seems like a complete oversight for a company that's usually pretty thorough with this kind of stuff.
13:10 superfluous meaning:
unnecessary, especially through being more than enough

I was bummed about the 1080p screen on the S21/S21+ until I realized I've been running my Note 10+ at 1080p for the entire 14 months I've owned it. 😅
Well 1080p great on a 6 inch screen! To be fair iphone 11 has a 720p on a 6.1inch screen
1080p on 14 inch laptop is still good how much more on less than 7 inch phone
@@AkoToMarjon you don't keep your laptop right upto your face while using
So you don't notice the pixels
A 1080p display isn't the same as a 1440p display down scaled to 1080p. Most of the Galaxy A series phones have a 1080p display but they're not the same as the 1080p on the S series.

Hello keyboard man!
It’s impressive to me just how wildly different the experience of Dave2D has been from that of MKBHD in their respective reviews of the GS21 Ultra. On area like photography, design, portrait mode etc. They basically diametrically opposed 😳
Its very strange ive seen alot of S21 ULTRA reviews and daves review is the worst one yet i dont know why but daves reiew isnt good
@@lordvyserion4830 I agree I love Dave's reviews but he got this one wrong and many people will make the wrong purchase because of it.
People have different opinions how is this surprising to anyone of you? You can't make a review that will satisfy everyone if you say what you actually think
@@tricker7060 but his review feels more like he’s attacking samsung rather than doing an honest review because reviews are big part of society nowadays especially when thousands of people follow you
@@lordvyserion4830 Nothing wrong with criticism. You can't all act soft and gentle towards these tech giants. I have a S21 myself and it sure ain't worth even close to 900euros. Samsung deserve some criticism

But how's the call quality in the earpiece? What's it like calling people and can they hear you on the other end? No one talks about this anymore only cameras, camera bumps , display and it's a fingerprint magnet.
mr mobile mentioned that calling on it is good in a throwaway line and hes usually the only reviewer i see that mentions call reception in his reviews
im constantly on the look out for it ever since i got my broken ass samsung where i could hear the other person occasionally but they couldnt hear me
I feel that calls are almost always good on phones especially the big guys
@@xxx_epic_sniper_xxx2.021 i still feel in a review about a mobile phone the actual call quality should be mentioned even if its just gonna be good anyway since even when its bad you basically wont find that out since no reviews mention it, i could say that most phones cameras are good enough for me and therefore doesnt need minutes long segments on it but i watch reviews for a comprehensive look at everything to inform my buying decision yknow?
@@neroaction yea I can understand that but I also get why they don't at the same time
It's probably because most people get earbuds or headphones. For example, I am using the DROP Pandas on my Note9.

It's annoying and unoriginal.
I'm all for sticking with 1080p. Especially on displays this size. And I'm all for the plastic. Though I do think those two cost-cutting measures justify a larger price drop.
A little late to it but 1080 screen would decrease manufacturingcoast by 20-30$ but a plastic back would only decrease the cost by 5$ ! Mostly it is just to differentiate bw the s21 and the ultra just to make the ultra a more compelling buy ! I hardly care about plastic back or 1080p screen but I do care that premium features like camera improvements and 100x zoom is just limited to ultra ! There aren't available in a compactish phone ! 6.2inch is not small but 6.7 inch is just too big
Dave literally killed Marques with that take on BLACK color.
Im pretty sure its not Litteral

Expecting my S21 Ultra in a couple days! CAN'T WAIT!
S21: No earphone jack, no memory expansion, no charger, no earphones, no glass, no curved edge, ah well
Also no one is talking about the moving building in video at 9:37 on the iphone 12 -> Look at the top left and right.. artifacting from image stabiliser?
Damn you right for the building wtf is this..
If you pre order the s21 you actually get free earphone. For the s21 ultra you got free ear buds pro, bluetooth tag and a case with the S pen. The only pain is the charger...and the sd card, even if I took the 512gb version it is stupid to remove it.
@@louismufasa you're are right..previous model on Galaxy S9+ they can store up to 1TB even 8k recording not yet released... But, now it's so disappointing when they remove sd card and just able to use up to 512 ONLY knowing that S21 can record 8k with huge storage consumption..
Nobody gives a damn nowadays. Phone tech has reached the plateau now it's not about things u need but things they push down on you to want you to use. Still using Reno 10x zoom seems like more than enough for me man to worry about upgrading anytime soon.
@@louismufasa Don't be fooled, nothing's free you're paying for it. When pre-order ends you just end up paying more for the phone itself. In neither case is Samsung selling 'at cost'
@@Airbag888 Ofc but I got the student discount too (-15%) and I don't think the price of the S21 factory new will drop by more than 15% in the year with all these pre order stuff for free.
I got a S7 edge(love his screen) for now, it is working great but it needs a cleaning and a reset. I took the s21 ultra for work and because I needed more speed

I noticed it too 😂
Lol didn't notice 😂 but I did notice the floor is flickering but somehow he says the iphone video is better 🤣
I think that the iPhone was using a camera with a really wide lens, since I noticed minor distortion in the grid on the ground.
I have no idea if I am correct though.
@@louisgarbour2737 Huh, you may be right... I thought it could be due to the editing, not the actual recording...
@@slimits83 XD, but you never know it might be due to some error in editing of the vid
Bruce wayne : does it come in special black.
Honestly when did 1080p become low resolution on a phone. Geesh people are crazy
its times like this that make me feel pretty happy that my eyes cant really tell the difference, i struggle even seeing 720p as bad and only really notice when its anything lower
Still haven't seen a good enough reason to upgrade from my S8. Resolution very important to me
Dave2D: This is not a special black
MKBHD: It is the *PHANTOM BLACK*
No headphone jack, no SD slot, no holeless screen, just like the S20...I'm genuinely disappointed
...... Oh wait, there IS a change, the S21 has no charger.
I guess I'll hold my Galaxy note 9 for another year.
@@ГеннадийАгафонов-с3я Nah, better to switch brand
I'm so disappointed samsung removed SD card support. Expandability was the only reason I haven't switched to Apple.
@@Bimmeraudi1 Still lots of Android flagships (those with SnapDragon 865) having SD card slots. Although I personally need headphone jack much more.
Just waiting for the Xperia 1 iii to come out x_x
Reviewers need to start calling out OEMs for removing features.... Remove the SD card and now charge extra for cloud storage. Remove headphone jacks and charge extra for wireless earbuds....
cant tell if sarcastic, but they have been. on every release they note that theres no headphone jack, no expandable storage and no charger. they arent ignoring it, but this is where the industry is going, and its not like they can fight decisions that have already been made, people have to use their wallets to convince companies to change, and most people cant be bothered to do that so companies will continue doing as they want for the most part.
@@Varocka They have a big focus on these mainstream phones and kinda mock and ridicule other phone OEMs like LG and Sony for absurd things like "Sony's design is old". The viewers further go towards fewer OEMs because well they are rated higher by reviewers
I get the saving landfills, but maybe offer the items as an option, check box and let consumers decide. 8 personally wireless charge or use my car and and don't need a wall wart and since it's an Android device, we users love options, customization. Give us the option
Flat edges is a perfect for me too. It's more durable design when it drops than curves and more ergonamically useful.
I'll stick to my S10 plus. headphone jack , good battery life and adequate camera. Phones are going downhill if this keeps going.
Better display sd card support you missed
Just upgraded my s10 to the s21 ultra. Would have kept my s10 if s21 or s21 plus were my options.

Samsung: "Nope"
Me: "Understandable, have a nice day✌🏽"
In the era of cloud storage and all time internet connectivity, the physical external storage had become obsolete. I guess thats the reason behind various brands ditching the slot.
@@rishabhmalhotra1542 Cloud storage and expandable storage is objectively superior to just cloud storage. Period. Especially when a UFS card would outpace the average WiFi connection in speed, latency and convenience. A cheap 256gb microSD card would easily handle high quality music and several 1080p/60fps videos and would probably undercut a 5G plan assuming you get consistent 5G in the first place. Physical external storage isn't obsolete, Samsung is just lazy. Cost cutting is nothing new for them. VERY lazy when they literally manufactured a superior external memory standard to replace microSD.
@@vncube1 great point, but I guess it could be a money making scheme too for different companies (not specially samsung) to sell more cloud storage and to sell high storage phones.

Pretty sure Dave Lee doing video comparisons is the only person going outside in Canada rn.
What?
Are the restrictions so severe there?
I really don't get this premium = glass, it's fragile. People think it's expensive because that's how they marketed it. Glass isn't anything special it's everywhere. It's not gold ffs. People react to glass finish like it's diamond. There's like hundred glass items in your house, doesn't matter gorilla glass or dinasour glass, we have all seen Jerry rig's video. Glass is glass.
Glass is Glass And glass breaks
If only more people had sense in them like you do, less Fanbois rather Practical customers would exist.
i get it because it looks and feels nicer than plastic on average and people care about aesthetics but i never feel my glass backed phone anyway since i usually have a case over it so im kinda either/either
@@The-Celestial Maybe if Apple comes out with a high end phone made out of plastic, that will change everyone's mind.
@@parishsirius now THAT, Apple will never do.
Hot take: you don't need the case, you can put it on top of your ear
Modern solution for a modern problem, I like that
This is basically the exact opposite MKBHD said in his video. Interesting.
Also once it drops in price(which it always does) it’ll be an even better value

@@saikat4047dave is just entertaining review or not
The purpleback and gold frame combo of the S21 with the smaller camera bump makes it arguably the best looking phone of the linup in my opinion.
Unlike literally everyone, I really loved the curved display on my S9. I wanted to switch to S21 but now I'll go with S20, it's also cheaper and that's a really good bonus!
xiaomi mi 11 might be ur thing. idk if its available in usa though. so depends where u live
Is the 888 overheating with prolonged usage?
Curved display is not practical (more fragile, more expensive to repair, screen distortion on edge, accidental touch when holding, compatibility issues with apps that use controls on the edges, etc....), the only thing good I can think of, is it looks cool.
@@kaze-xo doesn't seem to be true. I have been using my first curved screen phone since the last year now. I haven't noticed any distortions along the edges, and since I use my phone along with a case (as will be the case with about 95% of the users) there have been no accidental touches either. Even when using it without the case, I haven't had any accidental touches.
2:35 Not really. I've been using my S8+ on 1440p for 3 years now, then I switched to the S20 Ultra in 1080p 120hz. I REALLY have to look for it if I want to spot the difference. Otherwise it's easily ignored by my eyes.
Review the exynos version please. No SD Card, no charger, NO THANKS
Ikr? Might as well buy a 12 Mini and get a nice small footprint.
these poor phones being judged the moment they were born.
Samsung camera is ugly
Unfortunately, they were born with physical abnormalities (no sd card, no mst, lower resolution screen, no headphones, no charger, etc...) should be left at front door of a orphanage with a note saying the mom did drugs while pregnant.
@@MM-hn6kp are you referring to the s21 ultra?
It does look REALLY ugly. Color combos are just weird af and camera module looks like a last thought
@@dparag14 you are speaking the truth especially the colours are pure shit I agree
I really hope the s22 next year will be like the s21 Ultra. Higher resolution, better battery, better cameras, glass, and UWB.
I'm willing to wait
I have no problem with a plastic back, but it has to be reflected in the price. I pay a premium for high quality materials, and plastic just ain’t it.
I’m really considering getting the s21 when the s22 comes out because it’ll be cheaper. I got a 13 pro but iOS 15 isn’t that good in my opinion and I’m ready to leave the cult.
Great now I dont want my s20 anymore that phone is beautiful
9:39 look at the building on the left, Wtffff!?
What about it?
1:10 fishing for that Dave Lee "Special Black" edition since Marques got his Phantom Black shoutout 😂
In a couple of months will be the right time to buy s20 fe for around 450

It can't be only me that feels smartphones have slowed in innovations, and new technology. Maybe we're at a point were it's difficult to further improve the tech we already have. I have an S9, and there is simply no incentive for me to spend money on any new phone, no new features that are a game changer. Maybe samsung is right, and the future resides in foldables, we'll have to wait and see what will be the "next generation" of phones
Yup. Invoations wont come to smartphones much anymore. In a way, this is great because the health and buissness sector has seen alot of improvements.
Yeah folding phone really give you that special feeling
I mostly agree. I have an S8 and gonna upgrade to the S21 Ultra. I definitely dont think I need too but my battery health is only at 74% so it's time for a replacement. Coming from someone who grew up when the flip phones and slide to keyboard phones were cool, I dont think that will be the big step. I think that's more of a sideways step. I'm not sure what the next big thing will be, but I'd say we are definitely a solid 7 years from it. 2 years from now it will be alot of refined flip phones and ones we see right now, but I think about 5 years after that will be the real innovation. Maybe rollables (but I dont see them being too practical)
Due to my employer. I have had used the S8,S9,S10 and then in Summer 2020 the S20 for my company phones. Whilst i think the S8 and S9 are still solid phones to date (my g/f still rocking a S8 and its still responsive) - i think Samsung for me peaked with the S10. It's so compact, easy to hold. The triple cameras are amazing (that ultra-wide is something) and the battery life is great. The S20? disappointment. That exynos CPU (EU here) in that one was so bad. Just listening to spotify over BT warms up the phone a bit as if you were doing something more cpu intensive. Battery life is pretty bad and i felt like the camera system didn`t even upgrade over the S10 if i compared it. 120hz was a bit of a joke since that decreased battery life even more (2.5hr SOT) but only gave you 1080P in TH-cam (noticible) - the Snapdragon version was a lot better but not available for us in the EU.
I can still wholeheartedly recommend an S10 for people that don't want to spend that much money and want to have a good solid phone.
@@NL0Gwenster if you liked s10 then s20fe or s21 base model are pretty much successor
Can anyone tell the difference of 1080 and 1440 on a screen this damn tiny. Like who the hell had eyes that good
Dave, you're missing the biggest sell: THE SCREEN
the screens on samsung phones have been so good for so long i don’t think he even needed to mention it.
He praised the screen at 3:44.
12:23 If you are a tech nerd?!!
Everyone watching this: Hell YES!!🔥
Heh
his apartment must be damn expensive, just looking at the back view as a fellow Torontonian, I can tell that he's like super damn close to the finance district.
MAN i click on a dave video and i sit here, eagerly anticipating the "alright". There is something so satisfying about it.
Underated comment. lol
