Here is a concise summary of the review of the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra:
**Device:** Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra
**Key Findings:**
* Box is smaller, but still contains a USB-C cable (no charger)
* Phone's body is mostly aluminum, with a "contour cut" camera design
* Screen is 6.8" with 1440p, 120Hz variable refresh rate, and Gorilla Glass Victus (scratches at level 6)
* Four cameras, including a 108MP wide angle and a periscope lens for 100x zoom
* Ultrasonic fingerprint scanner is robust and works even with screen damage
* Phone is solid and durable in bend tests
**Verdict:**
The S21 Ultra has impressive specs, but the reviewer questions its value due to its $1,200 price tag. Camera capabilities, while excellent, may not be significantly better than older models (e.g., Galaxy Note 4). Recommended to consider last year's model, which is cheaper and still has an SD card slot.
