How to impress Marques: Step 1: Make any product Matte Black

*Dave Lee:* The color is nothing special. *Marques:* With this amazing finish you also get a phone.

Talk all we want about the color of the phone, but we all know a $1300 phone is going in a case lol.

My wife bought me this as a surprise Gift two months ago. Thank you Sheila I love you.

Marques has never seemed happier reviewing a phone than this one

Finally I can afford the galaxy s7 edge.

Got it for 2 years now. first time in all these years, i will not buy a new one. it still runs fantastic. zero problems. s23 ulra must be something else for me to switch. Best android phone ever (personal opinion ofcourse)

This phone makes me feel like my phone is from the prehistoric times

"24 fps... the wrong frame rate...." Marques.

I can only imagine the list of devices on his Tesla’s Bluetooth list.

Anyone else get uncomfortable when you see an uncased phone face down on a hard table?

Finally Watching on my S21 Ultra after 2 year's Can afford now 😅😅

Plot twist: Marques is the one who actually designed the S21. He's just being modest.

Samsung: " How much matte black would you want us to put Marques?" Marques: YES

Using the phone from 7th Feb 2021. Still Its a monster. Just today ive received a camera improvement update. Samsung's consistency in releasing new features to old flagship always amazes me. The performance of the phone is still top notch. And the battery life is surprisingly better than day 1! That's how powerful Samsung One UI 5.1 is!

This dude has the best background and quality that I could just put a picture of it on my wall.

Samsung: Here is a mattle black phone. Marques: Best phone of the year.

Meanwhile in Samsung Headquarter: We did it guys

Damn that phone intro shot!!! It's crazy dope. Something you talk in-depth about in your skillshare class! Awesome work Marques Brownlee!

Marques your videos are phenomenal!!! The Sound, the lighting...the delivery... Exquisite!!🔥🔥✌️

"I've been saying 'matte black everything' for a solid... couple years now" BRUH, that shit has been your words to live by since like, 2012. It's almost been a decade, lets be real.

Does anyone remember when the Nexus 7 was a tablet at 7 inches and phones are now seriously close lol

I love watching tech that I can't afford

I really love the video transitions, the intros, just everything, everything Thank you MKBHD

that 'baby up in this bitch' @ 10:00 had me laughing way louder than it deserved

3:47 The fact that when he opened TikTok the first thing that came out was a scientist and not someone dancing ... ohh that was good.

Really enjoy your reviews, keep up the good work.

2:46 Full of it? He’s one of the tops of UKposts. I’m pretty sure they used some of his pointers. That’s a good thing

Marques, off camera: *pulls out S22 Ultra*

MKBHD : So it's been 2 years since I've been part of Samsung's Flasgship designing team

Marques: puts an iOS-Wallpaper on a S21 Ultra Samsung: Ouch.

Watching from my Samsung S21 Ultra, got it two days ago and I didn't regret a single thing!

12:27 - "The wrong frame rate" I can't believe you've done this.

Dave Lee: The black is not special. Marques: MATTE BLACK BBY!

Marques, the most impressive thing in all of your videos isn't even what you have to say for the product shown in the video. The most impressive thing is how you film it. Like how the f do you film the screen of a phone so vividly. The colours on the rest of the stuff, just incredible. Love it. Keep up the good work.

Man when you were holding it over the ledge, i was nervous you were going drop it.

This is the highest praise he's ever given samsung. And you know they've done it.

11:11 MKBHD Icons with 'ultra' troll on the top camera lens there ;)

The features on this phone look amazing... Very tempting 🤩

No one does better videos. I’ve had this phone for a while and I’m still watching this thing. Keep killing it MB!

"Google display to the side of the launcher... What?! Who told them to do that?" ... 😄 Google...🥺

At this point in time, MKBHD’s cinematography is closer to that of an actual phone ad than a UKposts channel

Thanks for the great review, Marques! No music, straight to the improvements with great real-world examples. Was eyeing this or the OP9 Pro and while I know regular Samsung OS isn't Oxygen, handling one of these in the store felt nearly as responsive and fast. As long as I could improve the brightness and font size for my terrible eyesight, it's a win for me, and nearly any modern phone can do that. Really making me lean towards the S21 Ultra now. Thanks!

MB love your reviews. I have been a Samsung user for a while and currently have a Note 20 which I love. I am probably not using half of its features on the phone but I do miss the expandable memory and would have looked at the S21 Ultra if it had the expandable memory as I used this feature to store my music and photos. Year on year I'm taking more photos and listening to more music. So, i'm going to stay with the note for now, even though it does not have the expandable memory, and hope that Samsung create a new Samsung phone on par with S21 Ultra with the expandable memory.

No one: Samsung: You Reviewers can post your reviews the S21 utra on the 21th of january 2021 S21 DAy 21 YEAR 21 .............

Samsung: "S21 Ultra... but it's Matt Black" Marques: "You son of a bitch, I'm in!"

My first visit! First ever meeting you! First of all, I'm looking at acquiring the S21 Ultra. Glad I came across you. Thanks for the education. Second: DO NOT change a thing in your presentation. You are perfect. Appearance, knowledge, presentation, great voice, friendly, pleasant, confident, down-to-earth, and very photogenic. You're doing what you should be doing.

Hey man! You're very knowledgeable of your subject. Thanks for the thorough review and explanations about s21 ultra, which I intend to buy one. Thanks again.

This guy's "they did it" phrase is enough to boost the sales of any manufacturing company.

Last time I checked we were at S10, when tf did we get all the way to S21?!?

6:17 Just found out that you can bring up your sound panel by swiping right on your A 71 too.... Leaving a like 👍

I just replaced my battery to my launch versions S21 ultra so I can keep it longer. This phone still works flawlessly and feels new even 2 years down the line. Sometimes Samsung hits it out of the park

That thumbnail looks AMAZING! Seems like the three hours you spent on it after the podcast were well worth it ^^

Spends two minutes talking about Matte Black colour.

Bought mine today. Going to pick it up tomorrow. Super excited

You're an intelligent young man. So much so, you sold me only this impressive phone.

Samsung: We added a bunch of improvements in S21 over S20 lineup. MKBHD: You had me at matte black.

Google: *makes glossy black phone* Apple: *makes matte grey phone* Samsung: Ight lets make this mans 2021 *MAKES MATTE BLACK PHONE*

Got a crazy good deal on this phone. Upgraded from a pixel 2xl and I'm loving things so far.

A year after..mkbhd is still rocking & uses this device, NOICE 😁👍

me looking at my iphone 12 my iphone : What? Do you want to leave me?

That matte black truly looks really good!

Good review! I have the note 10 plus.. should I stick with it or I’m thinking switching to a Samsung flip3 or s21.. which to go for? Also what skyns are u using for your phones where do u get them?

Watching on my S21 Ultra in 2023 still an awesome phone that I will keep till runs out of updates.

2:33 MKBHD: Puts an iOS 14 wallpaper on a Samsung phone Samsung: *we want to know your location*

Black matte phone release Marques : Best phone ever!

Love your videos man, always check out your channel when upgrading my tech. 👌

Just watched this all the way through for the first time and after realizing that this is still one of your main drivers, I went and picked one up on Swappa. I don’t care for the S22 Ultra design or the pen and that design on the S21 Ultra is so sleek and amazing.

Forget the phone, the audio on this video is flawless! 😲

Never go back to the light mode into. This just hits different

This looks like a phone that Marques would design. I love it

Thanks for that. Great to know. I am considering one.

Samsung: Black? MKBHD: Matte Black Everything!!!

Samsung marketing : make a matte black color so marques Brownlee can give us a good review

The s21 ultra is easily the best phone that has ever been made for mainstream use. I have the luxury of getting hands on pretty much every phone available. And the s21 ultra is by far my favourite. It beats other phone on everything. Samsung you came up with a 1 in a million with this phone. It's gonna take some beating ! From what iv seen with the likes of iPhone 13 and another upcoming phones like pixel 6 they still aren't going to out beat this beauty.

yio yio you're videos are so well done. omg. Keep up the amazing videos uploads and editing. !!!! 👍👍👏👏👏

My hubby got the S20 FE free through his work and was bragging that he finally had a better phone than me (S10+) so I went and bought an S21 Ultra 512 for myself. I may be old but I'm still off-putting-ly competitive.

Can the next collab with dBrand be a Matte Black Gary skin?

0:11 intro track is really good

Instantly went and bought your carbon camera skin and a grip case in carbon, all for £30 delivered FREE to the UK. Far cheaper than a DOUDY case made here. Thanks for the plug

Developers: “So whats the requirement this time for next gen ultra phone?” Samsung exec: “MKBHD...” Developers: “say no more.”

**mkbhd makes new video** samsung : write that down write that down!

I was curious about this phone i have an S8, I have never seen your channel before. Subbed and liked, Very nice review I enjoyed it. You sold me on the phone. Keep up the good content

great video. it is nice to listen to a video without loud music. everything he said makes sense. samsung , is just getting better and better as time goes by..

Mkbhd working hard and making videos in 4k and stuff. My wifi: Nah only 144p here.

Marques Opened Tik Tok Indians: Wait that's illegal

Marques hands down has the best intros

the intro is🔥🔥🔥🔥

MKBHD: this phone looks like it's been designed by people who have watched MKBHD videos that's when you know you've made it

Ah dat mini tesla truck from the background :D, nice review:)

I can now buy this 2 years later

Finally!! A video from someone who speaks clearly! There are many videos out there, but most of those videos are very difficult to understand what the answer that I want is all about.

Would love a purple & white colorway for the Icons skin.

Watching this review on my new S21+ Started my day at 5AM all day using my phone for work and some videos on down time. It's now 9:35 PM and I have 24% Not gonna lie.. I'm freakin impressed

for some reason i really like the design on the camera where it pops out all around the lenses. i can't really explain it well but you get what i'm talking about

That SD slot hurts, quite unlogical step in the times of 4k 60 / 8K / huge apps

Every one else: they talked like 5~min or so about matte black but it's just black MKBHD: I GET IT

Meanwhile, i am sitting here, happy with my S8, perfectly working Edit: will use that thing until it falls apart. Happy to see that so many agree here. Phones are not a throwaway product

Just bought mine 😁, finally i am able to afford it, and I am very happy with it 🤩

I wonder if OxygenOS is still Maruqes' favorite OS after the recent OS version releases making it essentially a ColorOS.
