😅

No Samsung MST is a deal-breaker for me.

@@thebootielover were in 2021 mst is not going to be needed with people upgrading there registers

Hsurrhxjkdej Bahhahahhh WHYYYY NOttt me phoneee bahhhhhhhhhhh

😂😂😂

Same 😂

Absolutely same 🤣

I don't need it... i don't need it... I- I-... I NEEED IIIIT (jk already preordered weeks ago and my wallet is malnourished)

@@0siiris mine too. It's coming Wednesday.

@@gunzforarmz Nice so is mine!

Yeah I was waiting for that but it seems like they missed it

They all have autofocus, just that the main camera has a minimum focusing distance which permits it's macro capabilities.

Yeah that Macro shot is wild and changes how you can get those close shots

@@wildechap its a big deal because even the iphone 12 pro max doesnt have auto focus on the UW lens

@@CraigDIGz every camera has had autofocus for years ;) maybe you mean OIS? But does it? Jerryrig did a teardown and it doesn't have OIS apparently, so it doesn't have anything more than the iPhone? I don't own an iPhone btw, typing this one the s20fe :p but I don't think the s21 ultra's UW has anything really better than the iPhones' one? Or am I missing something?

IGN: this phone will make you FEEL more alive. 9/10

Ha same here.

Dex is amazing!

Um, there is Dex....

Bruh the phone does have a macro lens function and Dex. Look it up

@@redbluestar1272 I think he's aware of that but I also think he's trying to say that he was looking forward to hearing the review for the macro lens and Dex. I don't believe he was saying that Samsung omitted them from the S21 Ultra. I could be wrong.

@@TroyHatton ah ok, that makes sense

Agreed. Single take mode was probably my favorite camera addition to the S20 Ultra actually. Looking forward to testing out the other camera improvements on the S21 Ultra though... especially improved auto focus & macro shots.

Agree with you

oh and no -- Dieter

Just slap an apple logo on that phone and "DIETER" wouldn't stop praising it.

@@bobinpune ...

@@TheVerge Your S21 ultra Review wallpaper link Please, please sir,

Saaaame mine is getting shipped by the 27 supposedly I'm actually hyped

That is a HUGE upgrade. You're going to be blown away 😂 I know I was going from a budget Samsung J7 (2015 model) to an S10+.

Same but I'm going from the S8+

Me too Upgrading from s9+ Can't wait!!!

I also have a s7 edge and thinking of preordering this phone with 256g. I assume that will be enough storage.

Was someone reflecting light off the back of their iPhone onto the Samsung?? 👀

lol, totally didn't see the apple logo reflection the first time.

Becca you are the best ❤️🙌🏻

LMBO😂

@becca your review got me buds pro. Your review. Not others

What freebies you get? You get 250? And how much for the phone?

I preordered too. I’m coming from iPhone XR.

@@asianstud7 You get $200 of free accessories and Samsung air tag when you preorder.

@@Mdogbrown nice. You got tired of apple or you felt like this was a too good of a deal to pass up? Are you normally a samsung fan?

@@asianstud7 My iPhone has worked almost flawlessly the 2 years I’ve had it. It’s been a reliable phone. Also battery life is great even though it’s on a 2 year aged battery. I owned Samsung phones like 8 years ago and they were good phones. My kids still play games on an old Samsung s3 with nova launcher! I use both android and Apple and love both for different reasons. I just wanted to try Samsung again. I’m tired of Apples restrictions on their OS. For example; I can’t have google calendar widget, settings are buried in menus, can’t drag apps to bottom of screen etc. it’s just boring. My wife has a pixel and loves it. I had a pixel 2 and loved it. Pixel phones/oneplus phones were probably the most reliable android phone I ever had. I have a love/hate relationship for both Apple and android lol. Android is so much more fun and enjoyable. Apple is so much more reliable and Some apps run better on iPhone. Like I’ve said I’ve had absolutely no issues with my iPhone but it’s getting stale. I’m going to give Samsung another try and see how it’s changed since I last had one.

Wow that's crazy. How has the battery held up on that? Notice the battery life being much shorter than when you first got it?

@Eric Bremer Oh yeah. God I miss those.

Hardly an upgrade. You lose your IR blaster, headphone jack, heartrate sensor, MST on Samsung Pay and micro sd support. You're better off living in the past.

How has it been my guy?

@@manojshrestha5698 hahahaahhahaa same

this is Dieter

@Lemarkus Mywords maybe he meant he clicks like button /s

It's a big phone, u know the deal already. There are many small phones for peoples looking for pocketability. Not everyone have same needs.

@@obidean3964 nonsense. Small phones are a rare breed. Even the 12 mini is larger than the original se. I would love something I could one hand in a rugged case.

I have an s20 ultra..and its fine in my front pocket..

@@darrin173 can you one hand it in a rugged case while hiking or doing 20kph downhill over rough terrain?

@@Ag3nt0fCha0s A Z Flip might be up your alley. That, or the Iphone 13 mini.

Maybe if you were blind

Nah, it just looks better ​@@AnonN-sr6uu

Don't think so

Sony shall announce but release 2023

I'm waiting to see what LG's "project rainbow" will be like

Apple will not. Sony and LG are irrelevant even when they make a good phone now and then. Xiaomi has so many models its tough to keep track. You review makes me think if i should change my pre order to silver instead of Black.

Pixel 5 still takes a better photo and more consistent for half the price imo. You really got to like zoom if you want the S21 Ultra

That's because as Hedberg says you're inherently fuzzy. In fact a clear picture would be an example of messy oversharpening

The sd card wasnt needed And i wouldnt make a big deal about the charger but yeah headphone gone

Me too. Coming from a Huawei P30 Pro and mostly love it. Still not sure about letting it go lol

Welcome to embargo time. It's set by Samsung, not the channels.

That's how embargo works. Have your review ready by the exact time it's up and release. 🤔

Someone doesn't understand how embargo works.

They have ads in all of their default apps, even the music player. It's ridiculous

Generally iPhones and pixels are better cameras

@@porsche00fan Pixels and Iphones have more refined cameras, but no innovation. Google too is lacking behind the pack now.

Any review that doesn't do that comparison isn't doing their job right. They are direct competitors and comparisons are there and inevitable. It's fine, it's necessary and it's no big deal. I want the camera comparisons even if most people have chosen their side and aren't cross-shopping these phones. I have a toe in both waters so I enjoy the contrasts.

@@magicman322 check out Unbox Therapy for a blind camera test. It's fascinating. My issue with the Verge is that they always have been an iPhone fan club. Comparisons are warranted, but in comparison videos, not in review videos. I have been following them for years now and they used to be worse. There was this joke that they can't make a video without mentioning the iPhone.

It was a knock at face unlock.

@@bennybolick1360 I'm aware 👍

@@john_hunter me too bro. I would've been SOO mad if I didn't work with a mask.

A lot of people are lazy

LOL! I guess that's a pretty accurate statement these days. Most reviews talk about the camera for half the video.

@@anthonyt425 What else should they talk about? Every phone is practically the same these days. For me thought, they should talk more about haptics. Although at this point, if it's not mentioned in a flagship phone review I just assume it is great.

@@aldelmontealdm just making an observation, nothing deep. Personally, I believe most Flagship phones at least can be summed up in less than 10 minutes.

Check out Becca, she's also good

Me too.

@@CarlosMartinez-ig6nl i see s21 ultra ads everywhere.

They are Apple fanboys, no matter what phone comes they will make iPhone superior Even though it comes with 5 years old design, screen, 60 hertz, slow charging, huge notch, and alll

@@santoshpal8835 How? He literally praised every aspect of the Galaxy S21 Ultra

Lmao 🤣🤣🤣

The same here, I agree with you. You know what if you ask them what's complicated they can't pick one. It is the most simpler and customizable phone for every one. He said quote "too many options" what's wrong with having too many options?

They’ve definitely dumbed it down but there’s still a bunch of nonsense. Like actually compare to ios or oxygenos, lol. One UI is getting there though

@@ericmagana12 that's the problem, something you call non-sense purely because you don't use it could be someone's everyday feature. Anyway, let samsung figure that out because they have the usage statistics but stop crying your phone can do something that you don't need (that's directed towards people who actually do it).

@@ericmagana12 y is it nonsense tho? If u hide the extra features way too far then the ppl who regularly use them (basically those who have been using samsung devices for a while surely use a good lot of them) will get mad at all the extra steps u need to take. I don't understand y u guys get to mad when the extra stuff is there for the ppl who want it... Just let it stay there dude

@@ericmagana12 When Samsung done every new innovation they call them gimmick until Apple done it to get an approval that's how much they're biased but when Apple do something like a mag save they're talking about it all week and months coming as they created something out of this world.

Good idea

You won't be sorry. I switched from an iPhone 6s plus to a Galaxy S10 plus and I am so glad I did! I just ordered my S21 Ultra 5g last night and I can't wait to get it! ✌🏻😊

It's only an issue when using the camera too long. Doing anything else on the phone from my experience will give you fairly normal temps for prolonged amount of times.

It’s a feature 😅

Don't you know that people purposefully install filters on their phone to get that vintage look?! 🤣

lol nah it's not a feature..couple of reviewers complained about it.

The photo has much more details though, see the cloud and the buildings far right on the pictures.

@@anismistry1 I agree the detail is on point for iphone except for macros, but it doesn't make up for a photo shot ruining orb (for me at least).

Google quit the high spec game and went for a "functional" approach, so no point waiting for them if you do like high end phones.

@@xmaverickhunterkx I think it's too early to say that google quit the high spec game based on one year's release of phones. They could just as well have decided to spend another year on R&D for a new "high end" phone and put out the pixel 5 in the meantime. But then again I am a dreamer. We'll see what happens.

@@weardo100 I doubt it. In fact, the Pixel line went for specs to replace the Nexus line, so thinking of that, Google seems to have gone back to that strategy. More importantly, we have pretty good mid range SoCs, unlike years prior and on top of everything... Google is a software/services company, not a hardware company.

They definitely are

Well you're getting an expensive new processor, the new LTPS screens, and probably very generous exchange offers as well as pre-order offers from Samsung. If you shop directly with Samsung, you'll get a good deal for sure

You can't have it both ways. Last year we complained the price was too damn high, this year every phone is 200 bucks cheaper and we're complaining the non ultra models lost easy to lose stuff.

Verge is Pro Apple. They are just now coming around to Android.

Cause the iPhone is it's closest competitor.
