The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G's biggest attraction is its camera. There is a new-generation primary camera with 108 megapixels, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera with 12 megapixels, and two telephoto cameras with 12 megapixels. In general, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G's rear camera setup is quite outstanding, and each of them plays a critical function, unlike phones with dedicated depth or macro cameras. The selfie camera is also quite capable in this case.
Additionally, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is a true flagship, equipped with cutting-edge components such as the Exynos 2100 5G SoC. It was capable of running graphically intensive games like Call of Duty: Mobile and Asphalt 9: Legends at QHD+ resolution. Additionally, the Galaxy S21 Ultra fully supports Samsung's S Pen, which is offered separately.
The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G is also an amazing media consumption device. The 6.8-inch AMOLED display is exceptionally bright, with vibrant colours. The 5,000mAh battery capacity is identical to that of the Galaxy S20 Ultra and readily lasts more than a day with moderate to heavy usage. The new design significantly improves the Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G's appearance over prior generations. Samsung's innovative contour-cut design for the camera module is unique and effectively conceals the bulge.
In India, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra starts at INR 105,999. On 12th October 2021, Amazon will offer the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra for the lowest price of INR 105,999.
