The new Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra delivers Samsung’s most advanced and intelligent pro-grade camera system, the Galaxy range’s brightest and smartest display, and ground-breaking performance.
The newly-launched Galaxy S21 Ultra is the newest chapter in the Galaxy S series’ decade-long legacy of delivering cutting-edge mobile experiences. It’s built for users who demand top-of-the-line technology to stay connected with the people and things that matter most. Galaxy S21 Ultra joins the new Galaxy S series of devices and takes every part of that S21 experience to the next level.
The new flagship device pulls out all the stops for those who want Samsung’s best-of-the-best with its most advanced pro-grade camera system and its brightest, most intelligent display. The Ultra also takes productivity and creativity up a notch by bringing the popular S Pen experience to the Galaxy S series for the first time.
The Galaxy S21 series unveils a bold new style that sets it apart from other smartphones. It introduces an all-new, iconic Contour Cut Camera housing that seamlessly blends into the device’s metal frame for a sleek, yet striking, aesthetic. The 228g Galaxy S21 Ultra is available in Phantom Black and Phantom Silver and it is coated in a luxurious haze finish for an all-around sophisticated and timeless look. The Galaxy S21 Ultra also offers improved durability with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus, the toughest Gorilla Glass yet.
The S21 Ultra is the largest member of the new Galaxy S21 series with a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X curved display, Samsung’s most intelligent screen yet. For the first time, users no longer have to decide between the smoothness of a 120Hz refresh rate and a Quad HD+ display — on S21 Ultra, you can choose both. The screen’s refresh rate adjusts to the content you’re viewing from 10Hz to 120Hz to ensure you enjoy the best image while staying power efficient to stretch your battery life even further.
Compared with the Galaxy S20, the S21 Ultra offers a 25% brighter picture at 1,500nits of peak brightness, the brightest on a Galaxy smartphone. With a 50% improved contrast ratio, it delivers crystal-clear, immersive images, even when outside, and also offers Eye Comfort Shield to help reduce eye fatigue.
The Galaxy S21 Ultra, which is IP68 water and dust resistant, also delivers Samsung’s most advanced pro-grade camera system, so that users can capture stunning, studio-quality photos in various lighting and settings, or shoot and edit videos with a toolbox of new AI-powered features that elevate every shot.
It has a quad rear camera (ultra-wide, wide and dual tele-lenses) that features an upgraded 108MP pro sensor, from which you can capture 12-bit HDR photos with 64 times richer colour data and more than three times wider dynamic range. For the first time on a Galaxy smartphone, you can shoot in 4K at 60fps across all lenses, including front and rear four lenses, so you can shift to a different perspective with the same quality. Plus, with a 12-bit RAW file option, you won’t miss a single detail when editing photos.
When zooming in with the S21 Ultra, you don’t have to worry about sacrificing clarity. The new addition features 100x Space Zoom which is powered by Samsung’s first-ever Dual-tele-lens system – one optical 3x and one optical 10x both equipped with Dual Pixel (2PD) AF – so you can capture clear shots even when you are from the action.
Galaxy S21 Ultra’s improved Bright Night sensor is Samsung’s biggest leap yet in low-light photography. With improved Night Mode, noise reduction, and 12MP Nona-binning technology, you can capture challenging shots – like a dimly-lit room, or a landscape at night – quickly and with excellent quality.
The ground-breaking camera, display, and connectivity capabilities of the S21 Ultra are powered by the most advanced chipset in a Galaxy device. The Ultra also offers faster speed, advanced computing, and greater energy efficiency thanks to a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 (or Exynos 2100 depending on where you are) chipset, memory options of 128, 256, and 512GB, and a 5000mAh battery. And when that battery gets low, Galaxy S21 Ultra can reach a 50% charge in just 30 minutes.
The new phone takes creative expression and productivity to the next level; for the first time on any S Series device, Samsung includes the S Pen experience to the new addition with Wacom’s technology. From drawing to note-taking to editing photos and signing documents, users can unlock the power with an existing S Pen from a Galaxy Note or Galaxy Tab or by purchasing an S Pen separately, on its own or with a compatible case.
For better and faster connectivity, the Ultra is one of the first smartphones to support Wi-Fi 6E, which allows for more bandwidth and a faster internet connection. With hyper-fast, ultra-low latency 5G, the S21 Ultra is built to provide fast video downloading, smooth video conferencing, and streaming.
We rely on our smartphones more than ever, which is why protecting sensitive information is more important than ever. The S21 is secured by Samsung Knox Vault, Samsung’s own proprietary chipset level (SoC) security platform. By adding tamper-resistant secure memory to our secure processor, Samsung Knox Vault enables S21 to add a new layer of protection.
The new smartphone also introduces a new tool to protect and monitor your privacy. You can safely remove location metadata from photos before sharing. With Galaxy S21’s all-new Private Share function, you can also control who gets access to the content you send, and how long it’s available.
