The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G is a great media consumption device as well. Rich, vibrant colors are displayed on the 6.8-inch AMOLED display, which gets exceptionally bright. Similar in size to the Galaxy S20 Ultra, the 5,000mAh battery easily lasts for more than a full day of heavy to medium usage. The Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G looks even better than earlier models thanks to its redesigned design. Samsung’s innovative contour-cut camera module design is distinctive and does a good job of hiding the bulging camera.
