It's not just still so good. It's still ultra.

I got the S21 Ultra 12GB 256GB refurbished with a new battery for 581 bucks. Runs flawlessly, excellent battery life, 100x zoom, very good camera, better than any midrange that I would get for that money in Europe. Also Big bright screen , 120hz , LTPO. Very little difference to S23 ultra.

I'm no technophile and although I've been using mobile phones since 1988 I am amazed at the huge leaps in performance and features that have been made with each new model. That is until (in my opinion) it peaked in Samsung's S21 Ultra. After researching it's attributes in its first year I bought a near new S21 Ultra 512gb and was and continue to be incredibly impressed by the performance of its cameras. I bought it primarily to have on hand when around our grandkids for the convenience compared to my DSLR camera but apart from a few specific situations it now my go to camera. I have been taking photos for over 60 years and it has produced more quality portrait on the go photos than any other camera. I realise there is bound to be newer model released in the future which will eventually match or exceed its performance and features but reading and looking at reviews of this "phone" it will be with me for some considerable time. It has been so good that I bought one to replace my wife's i phone. Such a bargain. Thanks for the great review.

S21 ultra and s10 5g were 2 of the best phones samsung ever made

Have the Burgundy S22 Ultra. Absolutely love my boi. But hey, the S21U is still a beast. And 4GB RAM extra is just awesome.

Man OneUI 6.0 beta is looking beautiful on this device (S21 Ultra) such an awesome phone.

5:03 that looks clean! I knew this phone is good looking but I didn’t realize it was that clean until now

I really liked mu S21 Ultra; which I upgraded from my Note 9. Ive always loved the note series. the selling point for me was the integration of S pen, so I grabbed the S 23 Ultra Green wave.

I got the S21 Ultra recently with 16gb of ram 512gb of storage. Snapdragon 888. I absolutely love this phone.

I own this phone and tell everyone to get one. I had a scratched screen and it was looking tired after a 1 year and a half.. changed the screen cover and bought a cool Spigen case and it revitalised it like new. I have one year left on my contract and think I will hang onto it for as long as possible. My only gripe is that I have had the water symbol problem every now and again. Takes ages for it to go away.. But apparently a lot of these high end Samsung phones have the same issue.. touch wood I haven't endured it for a while.. Cheers 😊

Hi Aaron what theme you using?

Great! and your phones theme , icons and background are really outstanding. If you would you share how to get them, it could go viral and be the Aaron Kim followers trademark!

What themes are you using? Thank you

What is your wallpaper and how did you get to have that clock and calendar display

Which theme or laucher are using or was displayed?

great review man. found your channel through this vid and you earned my sub. Tech reviews should be this clear and concise.

Hey Aaron, Can you please drop the wallpaper source?

Hey Aaron, thanks for reminding us how great the S21 Ultra is. I never had one but I bought one 2 months ago. I think Samsung missed out on something special to me They should have made this. The ultra series going forward with the S Pen embedded in side build quality in all. The build quality you can feel in your hand is sturdy. Even when this phone stops, getting software updates just don't be loading up your device with things You know you don't keep everything clean up. This phone is a champ for many years to come. And That hundred times zoom definitely the truth. I get that Samsung makes the ultra series a little bit more squared off and fancy looking. But I think if you dropped that 1 time without a case maybe even with the case. It may not survive a break, but if you drop this, you might be okay.

At 4:02, how did were you able to reduce the app icons???

That is on point and i have question do you think we can get cases and accessories for this that easier

just got one a week ago and upgraded from galaxy S10 5G

At 4:02, what is the theme of your wallaper?

Yeah, i just got one. Upgraded from a note 10. I'm still exploring, but I want to explore all the features, especially the camera options.

Good vid. Need mic filter. It was hard to mentally filter the siliva .

The S21U is an amazing device

What's the wallpaper on video cover page?

Can you make a video on a proper S21 ultra vs s23 ultra

Where did you find the wallpaper.?

That's the name of the theme your using on this phone. I love it

i'm still using my old s21u and I love it, but please be aware about the screen death issue that happens in some models. I had to change out the screen which cost a lot of money because a line appeared on the screen out of nowhere and the screen started dying.

Where u got the wallpaper on the fone

where to get the wallpaper?

That wallpaper of you is so cool where can I get that. Thanks

S21 Ultra has RAM options of 12GB AND 16GB, unlike its newer siblings which only tops out at 12GB. Also, being an older phone, software should be mature enough for any apps to run smooth on this phone.

I was wondering, the s21 ultra your using is it exynos or snapdragon?

watching this and looking at my phone same time that I bought 3 years ago made me reliased I did the bestest desicion ever in life.

Nice wallpaper. Where can I get it?

Thanks for the video

Great video! Still rocking mine with no regrets whatsoever! And its also better than the S22 Ultra for some reason lol

I simply love my 21u. Got it a couple months back. Best phone i have ever owned. The display is beautiful and the performance is great!❤❤❤

Now I have Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G. My previous phone was Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G. I did the comparison with each other side by side and to be honest, I barely noticed the difference. Yes, Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G, or the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra 5G are better than Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G. But, there is not a huge difference and the S21U will still receive two Android updates, Android 14, probably the next month, and still Android 15. So if you are looking after your phone, like updating the apps, system, the Google Play store security, Samsung apps, cleaning the cache partition, let's say every three months, I don't see why you wouldn't be happy with S21 Ultra 5G. Of course, if you are someone, who is "masturbating" in front of the benchmarks, and you can't sleep, just because your phone is not the ultimate ultra cutting-edge phone anymore, so you need to wait for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra 5G and buy the highest level of it, and you will be OK. Otherwise, if your battery of your current Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G is still OK, you'll be ok with this phone for at least one more year.

Yeah. I bought it used in carousell for cheap with heavily used condition. Spent little more to replace the battery and back case. Good as new.

The phone wallpaper is super. How can i get the wallpaper? Please tell me

Love the content man! I myself am a major Samsung fan and was a Die Hard Note 10 Plus guy. However I did move to the S21 Ultra and LOVED IT! Then got caught up in the S22 Ulra and S23 Ultra hype and bought and tried them both. While both are great phones I always missed my S21 Ultra. It just has something magical about it. As you said you get SO MUCH for your money and it performs as good as or at least close to the latest phones. So I treated myself to a mint condition S21 Ultra and sold the rest :) I truly believe you cannot get a better value for money phone than the S21 Ultra. We all get caught up in the hype and the desire to have the latest phone. But in the end the differences are minimal. I remember when the S21 Ultra cam out. It was the first time in years we had seen a phone with a new and cutting edge design! It was HUGE at the time. Now if I am out and about people are like "Damn what is that phone you are using" While the rest all have an iPhone :)

Is the battery still holding up?

Should I upgrade from my iPhone SE to Samsung s21 ultra ?

I just ordered that exsact phone in excellent condition for 400. Currently watching this on my Samsung Galaxy grand prime I bought in 2015. Time to update as most modern apps don't work on this phone anymore.

I currently own a s21 ultra. I have had data connection issues with it. The phone says I have 3+ bars of data and nothing loads that needs a connection to the internet to load. i.e. social media, games.

Excellent points

What is that game called? at 3:45

Your theme so cool, can you please tell us how you get it?

I'm in a dilemma. Currently have the S21+ Exynos version since release. Been great and does everything I need, however it's developed what looks like water marks underneath the screen panel. They don't interfere with the picture though but just don't look nice with the screen off, more of an annoyance but I do have concerns in case the screen it does start to cause display issues. I can get an "as new" ex display S21 Ultra Snapdragon version for £350. Wondering if to get one and have the better camera, slightly bigger size, SD chip, etc or blow a lot more money and get an S23 ultra when really it wasn't needed. Lol. Just wondering if going from the Plus to the Ultra 21 and from Exynos to Snapdragon with the extra bits of the Ultra would still feel like I've at least had a bit of an upgrade.

I have s21 ultra but upgraded to s23 ultra this year. I found it a fantastic phone. My only gripe is the fact that it was an Exynos chip.having used the 23 ultra the past few months and taking out my 21 ultra now, the 23ultra Snapdragon is so much smoother. I would great reservations about buying a phone with Exynos chip again.

still has mine. besides the normal battery wear, its STILL ultra.

for green line?

Widget and the wallpaper pls..

What is your wallpaper and home screen setup?

I love my S21 but I'm thinking of getting the OnePlus 12 or a Pixel. I just hate how expensive the Galaxys are now.

S21 ultra still the beast, im been using since launch up to 2023 . beat many new flagship today.

My only gripe with the phone is that it is so prone to the screen line issue. People mostly get their lines after updating their phones to the latest software. Based on experience, the phone gets extremely hot while updating, and I think this is what causes the green/pink line. It gets hot even when it's taken out of its case, the room temperature is cold, and it's placed in front of a fan. Samsung should slow down the processing speed while updating the phone so that it won't reach extreme levels of temperature. Most of us update our phones when we don't use them anyway, what's the need for quick software update runtime?

Ive had it for a day and i can see myself having it for years to come

Budget? Isn't this still in the price range of high tier mid range phones?

Watching From My S21 Ultra Snapdragon 888 💗💗💗

Is there any new S21 ultra left?? Or should we go for refurbished one?? How is the battery life?

I have the standard s21 ultra but ive been wanting to upgrade to its top tier variant of 512 gb. Its such a good phone i want to keep it as long as possible.

And to add to the first reason, this is my main machine for gaming, this phone is a beast, this phone holds up perfectly with no lagging too, so if you're looking for a budget flagship, definitely go for it if you're a starting gamer.

I kind of bought one with 512gb for 500 couldnt find any cheaper with lots of space and gsm unlocked for international travel

I am getting one next week. Upgrading from a S20 fe.

I got wgat looks like new phone. I love the 21 ultra. The geek bench score is freaking great. 1365 single and 3528. About as good as a 8 gen1.

My Galaxy S10 works fine as well so much more this one.

I'm still rocking an s21 Ultra. It's so good, and I have no plans to upgrade.

Brother, I just bought mine in 2024 for $500, canadian, and mind is totally blown when it comes to display and camera. I am in love believe me.

Im still happy with S21 Ultra Exynos Version. Everything works just fine and I have no problems with battery drain. Not upgrading before S25 or even S26

Where can I still buy a good one at?

Got mine when it hit the market. Seriously, camera is amazing. The only problem is everyone asks me to take the photos at events! 😅 I've said at least 50+ times, I never regretted buying this phone.

Still using mine... and it's still going strong😎

The only Samsung back design I honestly liked. If it wasn't for the curved edges, I would've purchased one even of I don't really like Samsung or One UI.

Yeah im still rockin a note 9 the screen is 1/4 blacked out so this the phone imma get

3:52 what game is it

i lost mine like week ago and yeah it was awesome now i have s22 ultra and its litle bit better but i hate to by new phone when my old is still good now for the third time my s8 and s10+ where still good after 3 years and then i lost them or destroy them

I'm happy with it still... It's a classic. I'll hold on til s25 ultra or iPhone 16

You are wrong at 3:22, Both S22 ultra and S23 Ultra have 12Gb RAM variants...

There are people that somehow feel the need to upgrade from even the last Samsung Ultra phone they've only recently bought, once the next S-lineup series (especially the newest Ultra) is released... Talk about waste of money, any ultra phone that one buys is supposed to carry them for 4 - 6 Years generally. I'm currently striving for the new S24 Ultra because I desperately need to upgrade from my Nokia C2 that recently had its battery inflated, once with the S24U, I won't see myself requiring another upgrade any time soon, just as Aaron Kim is trying to demonstrate with his S21U.

make sure you get the exynos variant if you want 10% more performance and a better battery!!!!

Terrific looking phone. Shame about the battery performance. I got Exynos chip.

still rockin this S21 ultra 16gb ram and 512gb storage in 2024! this phone is amazing🎉

What's theme name?

I just picked one of these up for $400 Canadian because I got robbed for my iPhone 15 pr max. And honestly I couldn't be happier. This phone beats the crap out of the iPhone and is even way better than the note 20 ultra I had before. I originally wanted to get the s24 ultra but now I don't see any reason to upgrade since this phone is getting one UI 6.1 in a couple of weeks.

Still an amazing phone!

Still use mine,still a beast

I'm still rocking it in 2024. My upgrade is due and I'm waiting since the S24 ultra has a list of problems

Top 1 and only reason to skip the 20 and 21 line: GREEN/PINK LINE. -Fold3 user with 2 green lines

Headphone jack?

Good video, but you need to look up the word "predecessor" that you kept using incorrectly. "PRE" means before not after. The word you should have used for the S22 and S23 is "successor." English lesson over! No offense intended, just trying to help.

The s 21 ultra you have is equipped with Snapdragon. If you evaluate the Exynos version, your opinion will change...

My s21 ultra is still good. Bought this 2 years ago. Will be using this for another year maybe

Great stuff, just bought a renewed 256GB one for £399. What do you guys think about getting the S Pen Pro?

Aaron please do you mind showing how you put those apps on your homescreen like that. It looks great. The 6 apps please.

What about s22 plus cuz that’s like a updated version of this phone

Is there a big difference in Battery Life between the Exynos and the Snapdragon ?
