no issue man i bought Samsung a21s 128g version after your review and it was awesome and for me for daily use it only consuming 60 to 70% per day of heavy use battery is freakin awesome
Got mine 3 days ago and im loving it!!Seeing your vid on s-pen is actually making me wanna get one now since haven't seen anyone put a vid of experience on it.
I've always wondered why Samsung moved the volume keys to the right side when there's so much space on the left side of the phone. Now I know that it's all about having room for that s-pen holder.
Here with s21 ultra samsung just did a miracle . S21 ultra is the best device in the market ... Top ranking ... it's my first dream device 🤩😘 ... shotout to samsung company for putting more work in that device ❤
I bought the s21 plus for the flat screen in phantom black. It also looks sweet. Nobody talks about the s21 plus. Battery life is amazing. 2 day battery for sure.
@@irvingsanchez9273 better finger print scanner. Faster processor. Subjectively better style/build. Better camera. Flat screen. Those are the things that I think are better with the S21.
One mistake most people do with Samsung's ultrasonic scanner is that they hold the area when unlocking which is fine, but one tap is enough and a little faster and I try it on my Note 20
Seems like they want to be more like apple, not realizing their differences from apple is what makes people go to their phones. Disappointing if you ask me.
100% agree. Extremely disappointed that Samsung removed the charging brick. I actually defended them saying they would never do something so stupid. I love their note series, I've had every single one since the note 8. And it's the only reason I'm still sticking to samsung
Was thinking the same, I'm upgrading and want to get the note but it's hard to justify getting last year's specs over this years, even if the note has a better design
Great review as always! I purchased M51 after watching your review. I watched other videos as well of course but yours was the one that sealed the deal for me. Keep up the good work.
I completely loved the video just ordered my 21 ultra little late to the show but coming from iPhone 11 Pro max . Time to try android 11 :) totally buzzing can't wait for the post van 😍
New sub bc you play stardew valley lol. No seriously great review. I pre-ordered and am coming from the note20 so it was good to see a fellow note user review what they thought of the SPen with the s series.
Love your review man, thank you! How protective do you feel the silicone case is? I'm in two minds and this one and the clear view wallet style conver 🤔 both look great I think and have s pen support, but I'm worried the silicone one may not offer enough protection?
Same thought 💭 s20 ultra was the last one I have it and was thinking of upgrading but no charger or sd card slot it's a hard pass for me samsung lost a long time customer for sure going keep rolling till my s20 ultra can't no more and moving on
Great video, Shane. I have note 10 plus, but ordered the S21 ultra for a test run. So far, I am loving it. The cameras are better than note 10 and the screen is crazy bright. As for the spen, it's pretty good. Works like it does on note q0, minus the Bluetooth abilities. The case is not bad either. The downside is SD card support and mst. But I am feeling this phone. I hope they drop one more note phone as a proper send off. But I do like the S21 Ultra functional more than note 20 ultra for sure.
I had this phone now for a couple days and I love it a ton. Heavy? Sure. But that isnt a problem for me. Im glad I have a Lifeproof case though. Feel better having that grip than just holding the phone itself
It's been as useful as it can be over the course of a couple days lol. I used it once or twice to track my phone down and several times to control my lights. It didn't add much bulk to my key ring which is nice so it's not annoying to carry around when on the go. For $30 it's worth it I'd say!
@@ShaneSymonds, I'm sure there will be some cool cases out eventually. I pre ordered mine from Amazon. It seems like most people who bought it from Samsung already have it. Mine won't be arriving until the 30th or the 31st. I think. I had no clue that the SmartTag can do more than just track your phone and other things. Does the Tag only turn on lights that connect to the SmartThings app?
@@stayhealthy5598 120hz WQHD. Is the winner for me. Also no accidental touches. Better fingerprint sensor. Better camera. Supports s pen. Better speaker. Cons : no SD card. No charger in the box.
I normally like the cameras in the centre but like the Note 20 Ultra the S21 Ultra is the second phone I do like it in the corner. I would have preferred the camera area in gold combined with that mate black back or at least the rings around the lenses in gold.
s21 is the no brainer. the screen beautiful screen with 120 hz, camera, fingerprint scanner. Is worth it alone. But im a biased samsung user so dont just base it off my advise. samsung does have the super nice deal on their site for trade ins so check that out
I have been using both and the S21 is my choice. I enjoy apple products but when it comes to phones the Samsung phones are more enjoyable and useful imo
I am an s-pen user and worry that with the case the phone is to big and unwieldy. Do you find it hard to hold with the s-pen case on it? Does the case ruin the look of the phone?
I hate that they dont have the SD card ,nor the headphones . I know I am late to the game on wireless but it's because wireless dont seem to last all day and having the plug in is one less thing I have to charge . For me that is a must as a paramedic I like to be able to grab and go .... I keep a set of earphones in my gear bag so there is no need to " charge". For the price getting the wall charger brick and the earphones is IMHO essential if you are spending this amount on a phone ! And before any one says well you have the money to purchase the phone .... some take payment options and money does run out ! Also one issue is trying to understand the needs of memory what you have/can upgrade to to the memory on board of the phone ... so that you can " grow" with it ... It took me several hours of research to find that " happy" spot ..
Wow you are leaving some serious fingerprints on that back there after you peeled off the protective cover...one can SEE them clearly in your video, building up as you touch it! And please answer the question so many are asking that you and everyone reviewing skips: is there a screen-protector already installed?

The phantom silver also looks good, my last two were black so I wanted a change. Amazing phone.
I've always wondered why Samsung moved the volume keys to the right side when there's so much space on the left side of the phone. Now I know that it's all about having room for that s-pen holder.
Even the s20 series had on the right. Its because people complained when they moved them to the left in the note 10 series

is it better than the s10+?

I'll try this thanks
I can confirm just tapping works well, but I think the face recognition is faster. Still good to have both though!
Exactly 💯

Stop flexing😔
How ur s21 feeling mate
Lier
@@sodayt4201 it's liar
The matte black is 🔥🔥🔥
Yes We been waiting for this🥳😁
Finally here!
I don't know why samsung is getting rid of stuff like Apple. They got rid of the earphone jack on phones and the power brick
Seems like they want to be more like apple, not realizing their differences from apple is what makes people go to their phones. Disappointing if you ask me.
@@ShaneSymonds yes very disappointing
They only care about their business strategy but not about their customers...ugh
The removal of the headphone jack was because the market is pushing wireless earbuds.
100% agree. Extremely disappointed that Samsung removed the charging brick.
I actually defended them saying they would never do something so stupid.
I love their note series, I've had every single one since the note 8. And it's the only reason I'm still sticking to samsung
You deserve more subscribers. Very nice explained than most reviewers.
Not providing the charging block is absolute bullshit. I have this phone, and I definitely think the 1200 should cover the charging block.
Really nice phone, a lot better design versus last years s20 ultra. If there’s no note 21 this year, then I might pickup an s21 ultra.
What makes you think there won't be a Note this year?
i think the camera looks better on the s20 ultra... if the s20 ultra had the s21 ultra specs id be happy to use it lol
@Luis Jara ah, forgot about that!
Was thinking the same, I'm upgrading and want to get the note but it's hard to justify getting last year's specs over this years, even if the note has a better design
You're a fabulous man.
Perfect review, I have made up my mind I'm definitely buying one of This tomorrow afternoon
I'm thinking of getting this instead of the iPhone 12.
Actually me tooo

I have this phone and it runs really well!!! I'm loving it
The Samsung phones I have seen personally the Samsung fe (doesn’t matter if it’s 5G or not) in red or blue is definitely my dream phone
Love your channel Shane. Glad I waited for this review.

Nice
Feels good to watch this on s21 ultra
Yo how is it do u think it’s worth the price I’m using a iPhone 8 and if I buy it from Verizon do I have to get a new SIM card

I'd say the silicone provides below average protection. It looks good, feels good, but it's main purpose is to hold that pen
This is the best video I’ve seen so far. You were detailed and I’m excited to get my phone especially because of your review!
I'Ve Been Wating For This
The only thing i hate from this year's galaxy is the lack of expandable storage. Maybe the last best overall galaxy is Note 20 Ultra *i think.
Maybe in the conventional smartphone category yes, but I think foldables are going to take over as the best overall phones in due time
@@ShaneSymonds sure it is... I wonder what's next for samsung's foldable. I think it is a bit more exciting
In 2021 u really don't need a SD option with all the cloud services that why am getting the 512gb that more then enough
@@cs-ge5kx I agree

They finding more ways to get money out of you by taking away the simple things
Great video and watching this video I am learning English as well :)
In 3 months samsung releasing s22!

I had this phone now for a couple days and I love it a ton. Heavy? Sure. But that isnt a problem for me. Im glad I have a Lifeproof case though. Feel better having that grip than just holding the phone itself

The less curved design of the Note series is superior. Rounded corners ain’t it.

Does it come with a pre installed screen protector??
yes well depending on what model you get exynos or sd idk which one has it tho
Beautiful

How did your get the s pen and case so fast? I ordered mine like day of announcement and it says it won't be here until mid February lol.
Depends on the location where you order
