Hi all,

 

I am tossing up between the S21 and S21 Ultra. I'm leaning towards the S21 purely because I really like the idea of having a smaller phone again (coming from a OnePlus 7 Pro). Other than size, the camera is the one thing I care about most. I couldn't find too many reviews/videos focusing on the differences in image quality between the 12MP S21 and the 108MP S21 Ultra sensor. I know the telephoto advantage goes the Ultra, but how much better is that main sensor compared to the S21 sensor?

After using my S21 Ultra for the past few days I gotta say: it's awesome! Too bad that there is no 5G (only in the CBD), but the phone is amazing... The best thing about the phone in my opinion are the cameras!

Larger screen size (back in the days of the iPhone 5), more software features (scalable text message font size, because my eyes are bad) and price.

 

 

 

Since then of course, Apple has become the new bastion of privacy, and iPhones are still "cooler". ;)

Jerryrgigeverything has done a durability video on it:

 

 

Also showed a video of New York shot at night which looked really good quality. and implied the was using the s21, only to then tell us that it was shot with the note 4. LOL. Good lesson there.
