Our take on the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G - 128GB - Navy - SM-G998UZBAXAA

The Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G is Samsung's 2021 flagship phone, built around a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and a quad rear camera with two telephoto lenses for 3x and 10x optical zoom. It runs on a Snapdragon 888 (US models) with 12GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, and adds S Pen support, a first for the Galaxy S line. It suits people who want a big screen and the longest zoom reach in a phone, and it still holds up against newer flagships on camera flexibility, though its size, weight and 128GB of fixed storage are real trade-offs.

Questions and answers

Is the S21 Ultra still worth buying?
Yes if you want a big 120Hz screen and the best zoom reach of its generation at a lower cost than newer flagships. Newer phones beat it on charging speed and software support length.
Does it support the S Pen?
Yes. It works with S Pen models, but there is no silo, so the pen is carried separately or in a case.
How good is the 10x zoom?
The second telephoto lens gives true 10x optical zoom, which reviewers rate as the phone's standout feature. Beyond that, digital zoom softens quickly.
Can I add a microSD card?
No. The S21 Ultra has no microSD slot, so the 128GB of built-in storage is all you get.
Is the Snapdragon version better than the Exynos one?
US models use the Snapdragon 888, which reviewers say runs cooler and holds battery life better than the Exynos 2100 sold in some regions.
What is in the box?
The phone only. Samsung dropped the charger and earphones from the box, so you need your own USB-C charger.
