Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra introduced with stylus support and new camera


Samsung today unveiled its flagship smartphones, the Samsung Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21 + (read about them in this article) and Galaxy S21 Ultra.

It’s worth starting with the fact that in most of the markets, Samsung Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21 + and Galaxy S21 Ultra smartphones are equipped with the Exynos 2100 SoC announced this week, and not Snapdragon 888, as in some other countries. This article is entirely dedicated to the top model Galaxy S21 Ultra.

The smartphone received a Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen with a diagonal of 6.8 inches with a QHD + resolution and an adaptive image refresh rate from 10 to 120 Hz, its brightness reaches 1500 cd / m 2. This is the first Galaxy S smartphone to support the S Pen stylus, users will get the standard version of the electronic pen and the S Pen Pro with Bluetooth air gesture support will be available for purchase separately. The screen has Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection. Samsung has used a new ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for user recognition that has 1.7 times the area and responds faster.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is equipped with a 5000 mAh battery and support for fast charging, which allows you to recharge the battery up to 50% in half an hour. As expected, the charger will no longer be included in the package, as well as headphones.

Moving on to the cameras, the front one here received a sensor with a resolution of as much as 40 megapixels, the main camera has four sensors. Samsung claims this is the best camera ever. The wide-angle module has a resolution of 108 megapixels, the ultra-wide-angle module has a 12-megapixel sensor. The camera offers 64 times richer colors and three times the dynamic range of the S20 Ulta. It is also possible to create 12-6 bit RAW files.
