The S21 Ultra has Samsung’s most sophisticate chip yet which the manufacturer says assures extra speed, improved gaming, enhanced energy efficiency, faster charging and when coupled with its own chipset security platform, Samsung Knox Vault, more protection and privacy than ever before. 

S21 handset owners can expect more connectivity from their devices. It is the first in the world to support Wi-Fi 6E for example with more bandwidth and faster Internet speeds to power quicker downloads and streaming. 

The S21 Ultra also has Ultra-wideband capability and AR finder to locate missing items. There’s also Dual Bluetooth technology and a dual SIM feature, along with S Pen compatibility. 

Without a doubt one of the most impressive features of the S21 Ultra is the visual technology Samsung has packed in. The handset incorporates no less than five cameras, including two telephone lenses, a 108MP wide-angle lens and a 40MP dedicated selfie camera. The professional-quality camera system also packs in a 100x zoom and even better BrightNight sensor which allows for improved images at night and in dimly lit spaces. The camera’s AI can also adjust lighting for portrait shots to help photographers capture their most striking images yet. 

For those who are already used to shooting with their Samsung, the S21 Ultra also offers 4K at 60fps capture for both the front and rear quad cameras, along with 64 times richer colour data, for professional image quality to rival any camera. 

On the video front, Samsung has set out to empower users to create cinema-quality footage with 8K video snap, dual lock and dual zoom.

If you’re constantly frustrated with your smartphone battery running low after a busy day, the S21 Ultra boasts an ‘Intelligent’ battery which can last a minimum of 24 hours even under heavy use.
