Has there been any thing regarding the haptics of the S21? Curious to know if they're good.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G review


"By the end of this review, we realized the good stuff far outweighs the bad, and most of what we didn't like could be fixed with an upcoming update."

Exynos 2100 Battery test

This years Ultra has the only first ever low power OLED with better power efficiency and brighter display.

Explains why im seeing some great battery numbers from reviews.

This is the first reviewer I've seen mention it, but it seems like the shutter speed on the ultra could be lacking making for a poor experience with kids and pets. Gcam port is hopefully stable for the ultra.

@Guyinbox: I watched the video but never said the S21 Ultra lacking!

I'm wondering where you heard him say that?

It's weird as I've watched a couple videos that have contradicted each other. Hopefully it's not bad.

First couple minutes of the video where he talks about not being able to capture moving subjects. Samsung has already said that the shutter on the ultra was slower than the regular 21, this is just confirmation that it will struggle in this scenario.

Samsung was talking about shutter speed, whereas the video was talking about shutter lag (due to autofocus lag in portrait mode). Those are different considerations.

It may explain why Samsung have just issued 2 updates in quick succession that both feature camera improvements...

Yes hopefully I'm pleasantly surprised. I'm not pumped about losing free photos storage as well so I have no problem sticking with my 4xl if the ultra disappoints me.

Perhaps, although the 2nd update might be for an Exynos-specific problem.
