A couple of weeks ago, Samsung launched its new Galaxy S21 Ultra smartphone in Colombia, as a device that stands out for its power, screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 'Contour Cut' design, which integrates the cameras to the frame of the cell phone.

We recently had the opportunity to get up close and personal with the Galaxy S21 Ultra, a device that allows you to record 8K content, a 108 MP camera and a powerful processor.

The new premium model of the South Korean brand is committed to a fairly minimalist design, which has an elegant finish. It should also be noted that it is very ergonomic because its edges provide a good grip, despite the fact that it is a large piece of equipment.

The design used to integrate the camera module with the body of the phone also stands out. In general terms, this is a visually attractive phone whose matte finish helps to differentiate it as a high-end phone and also hides the traces of the user's fingerprints.

In addition, they have a speaker at each end to provide better sound distribution, in order to provide powerful and quality audio.

Screen that meets expectations

In terms of screen, this model handles a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED panel with WQHD+ resolution and a maximum refresh rate of 120 hertz.

The resolution, panel technology and refresh rate are components that help to have a good experience because the contents are displayed with a high level of detail. In addition, it provides greater fluidity when playing video games.

In fact, the user will be able to modify the refresh rate of the screen, from 60 Hz to 120 Hz, as required by the user.

Added to this, the device can also make an automatic adjustment of the refresh rate according to the actions that the user executes on the device. Similarly, the automatic brightness adjustment operates adequately.

So this model really makes any content look good.

Performance that meets honors

This model boasts the Exynos 2100 processor, a chipset created by Samsung for its high-end range, which is accompanied in this case by 12 GB of RAM. This combination provides the necessary power to carry out heavy tasks with complete fluency, or play any title with a high graphic demand such as 'Fortnite', 'Call of Duty Mobile', or 'Asphalt 9'.

In fact, thanks to the 120 Hz refresh rate, gameplay will feel smoother.

This power is also present when creating content with cameras, since image processing is almost immediate and the same situation occurs when 8K videos are captured.

It should also be noted that the device does not become very hot when performing demanding tasks. Usually you get to perceive a slight increase in heat in the back, when playing for more than an hour.

One UI, a functional operating system

Samsung provided this device with the latest version of One UI, an operating system based on Android, which maintains most of the functions of the brand's devices.

Some advanced features offered by the device are aimed at customizing navigation, performance while gaming, and the connection of the phone with other smart devices.

In the same way, the user will have several options to customize the home screen, define favorite applications, perform gestures to activate functions such as screenshots and configure some elements of the screen.

Added to this, the user can go to Bixby, the brand's intelligent assistant, to create routines that automate some tasks or actions that the phone can perform.

The user can easily program a Bixby routine and execute it with a simple voice command. However, the phone also supports Google assistant technology.

Cameras

This model has a 108-megapixel sensor in its main camera, which is complemented by an optical zoom of up to 10x, keeping the digital zoom of up to 100x.

The triple camera system is made up as follows:

We must highlight the autofocus technology through a laser sensor, since this system provides stable and very sharp photos, despite having a high zoom.

In addition, 8K video capture is a plus for content creators looking to produce graphic-quality video.

It should also be noted that the 'camera' application is still very intuitive, and can also be customized to have quick access to the 'modes' that the user uses the most.

The interface hasn't really changed much, the 'night mode', 'portrait mode' along with the other options haven't been altered. However, the 'Pro mode' has been improved based on the 108-megapixel lens.

In the case of video, there is now a shortcut that allows you to adjust the resolution and frames per second of the recording.

The device's camera system is very responsive to almost all scenarios, so good images can be achieved using zoom and in dark scenes.

In fact, the device reaches 3x optical and thanks to its second sensor it scales to 10x optical. This configuration allows you to achieve photos with a high degree of detail.

Night mode has also received an improvement in terms of sharpness and also complements well with telephoto lenses. So you can achieve quite sharp captures with a high level of detail.

The front camera in general takes good images and even at night it manages to provide captures with good definition. Its portrait mode calibrates the shot quickly and responds well to different scenarios.

But without a doubt one of the strengths of this machine is its support for 8k video, which allows you to take advantage of the power of all the lenses and its image stabilization performs very well, especially when recording in spaces dark or at night

It should be noted that the stabilization is quite efficient and in many cases it is not necessary to resort to the super stabilization function.

In general, the equipment allows you to capture recordings with very good quality and especially in 4K.

Good autonomy without being surprising

The Galaxy S21 Ultra has a 5,000 mAh battery that helps it provide good autonomy. The point in favor of the device is that the refresh rate settings do not drastically affect the battery charge.

For example, when handling a rate of 60 Hz and with a relatively intense use, the equipment manages to offer about 17 hours of charge. But when using the equipment with a different configuration, the autonomy was reduced to about 15 hours.

However, it is striking that this model does not have its respective charger and headphones, considering that it is a premium model.

That's why we went to the Note 20 charger, which has fast charging, and we got 100% power in less than 60 minutes. Which shows that the fast charging system works well.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra emerges as a device with a very attractive and very well-achieved design, designed so that the phone does not slip out of the user's hands.

The processing power is matched by the technology its display achieves, to deliver a premium viewing experience in virtually any environment.

The photos and videos that are achieved with its camera system also stand out for their quality. Therefore, Samsung's flagship is a very complete model that is also surprising for not including a charger or headphones.
