The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G: A New Era of Smartphone Excellence?
But let's be real besides the size the display the ram the real big difference here is coming in with the cameras so we have a really big 108 megapixel wide angle camera lens which is a new lens so I can't wait to see how that performs but we also have a 12 megapixel ultrawide up top a 10 megapixel telephoto at the bottom that does a 10 times optical zoom and we also have another 10 megapixel telephoto that does a three times optical zoom now I know Jay and I are gonna have some fun testing this thing out uh because Samsung makes some dope cameras but this 108 megapixels you know new lens new telephotos it should be really really interesting and I believe there's also improvements to space zoom uh so that's like their digital zoom can we just give that a shot so we've got the four zoom ranges over here this is the ultra wide with the three times and the ten times right so let's see yeah it looks pretty clean let's take a quick photo i mean it's not bad not bad for this kind of lighting I'll take it let's get this gun down all the way in the back here 100 times and that looks so funky but that's that's where the magic happens Jay it looks so bad on camera but when you actually take the picture it's not as horrible it's a hundred times Jay it's a hundred times but yeah I think that should look pretty interesting I can't wait to try it out outside that's where we'll probably see way better results for that kind of thing but yeah this is the big selling point of the ultra like you've got all the crazy specs the crazy cameras the nice quality uh glass back um in case you were wondering guys this is pretty much gonna be the same unboxing experience you got your cable you got your quick start guide and you've got your sim ejector tool but the S20 Ultra 5G does start at $11.99 and that's actually kind of interesting when you're comparing prices to like Apple we've got $7.99 they made this a lot more competitive and pricing for the S21 iPhone 12 is $7.99, S21+ $9.99 iPhone 12 Pro $9.99, the S21 Ultra 5G is $11.99 while the iPhone 12 Pro Max is $10.99 so this costs a little bit more but Samsung banking on this being a probably more premium device so we'll see we'll test this in a real day in the life let you guys know all the good and the bad I'm actually going to be doing two real Dandelions I'm going to do of course with the ultra m with the normal S21 because I feel like this is a kind of new territory where Samsung has scaled back quite a bit we'll see if this impacts the end user but that about wraps it up for this video guys oh no no it doesn't I lied we got the smart tags so basically this is their version of like a Tile we've been hearing rumors about Apple coming out with this for ages with AirTags that's what it's supposed to be and so I think you know Samsung beat them to the punch so this is the SmartTag so I'm actually going to throw this onto my keys give that a shot this should make finding devices a lot easier if you're not familiar with Tile or you know what that's all about basically you attach this to something and then you can use your phone to locate it so if you misplace your keys like where I put my keys I do that you guys don't even want to no I do it a lot and I'm always pulling out my phone trying to find it trying to find my wallet so now you're going to be able to go into the SmartThings app and be able to use that here and the SmartThings app is available on a lot of different devices so not just Galaxy devices so it's on the iPhone if you have a Samsung TV you have access to the SmartThings app there so you're going to have a lot of different options in terms of being able to locate your devices with this guy I'm gonna throw these onto my personal keys let you guys know if it's worth it uh but yeah I think now that wraps it up stay tuned for the real day in the lives those are coming very soon and I'll catch you guys in the next video let me know though these prices how do we feel about that we like the cheaper do you not like the cutbacks do we not like the resolution the fact that there are less things in the box let me know with a comment down below but until next one guys it's your average consumer peace I've been waiting for this baby though
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's going on guys it's your average consumer and it's that time of the year again we've got the new samsung galaxy devices the s21 5g and the big boy the s21 ultra 5g as well as some extra little accessories samsung came out with the galaxy buds pro and their smart tags we're going to talk about these in just a second actually i've got a video all about these i'll have it linked right down below i kind of already reviewed these so if you want to check that out link's in the description but the main attraction here are these two guys so let's do a quick unboxing all right so i'll put the air tight uh i said airtight so i'll put the smart tags over here so guys which one should we go for first carl okay save the big boy for last i like that all right so here we have the s21 5g let's pop it open right this is the i think it's the phantom violet color based on the s here and these boxes look clean and all these boxes are really small do we have a one of the other boxes were definitely bigger right yeah it was all right and check this box out it's got a nice slimmer design i feel like we're seeing manufacturers these days come out with smaller boxes we've kind of seen this before but that's good so let's pop it open okay put this away and we've got the phone i like this i like this a lot actually samsung started leaning into the whole camera bump thing just with their s20 line especially the s20 ultra as well as the note 20 ultra i've got the note 20 ultra over here i mean check out this camera bump samsung's like i don't care it's there and it's beautiful and they kind of did a little bit more with this year's models by making it flushed with the frame instead of just being a big hunk in the middle carl you got on purple right now what'd you think that was blue but it looks nice though carl did you say blue bro it's far like it's math r for me anyway back to the unboxing guys so we'll talk a little bit more about this design in a second we just want to quickly look at what's inside of the box i got some sim card stuff and let's see so everything is now packaged in this small box so let's see what we get in here quick start guide and we've got our usb c to c cable all right yeah that's that's that's how they slimmed it down that's these are the only two things that you get inside of the box now i knew that they didn't carry the power brick anymore so now we'll start to see a lot of manufacturers doing the same thing we saw samsung on social media make posts about the adapter they did delete those posts because look where we are right now oh okay we also have a sim ejector tool but for those of you who aren't familiar with the new s21 let's kind of talk about it let's take a look at what makes this one so special and how samsung got that price down to 7.99 i'll take it all right guys here it is the s21 5g now one of the biggest changes you'll see is in the back the materials that they used here is polycarbonate plastic but that is what kind of helps bring the cost down it's not that glass that we've seen in previous models helps the phone feel pretty light this is a light feeling phone but i will say you'll probably hear all over oh samsung went with plastic and all this and that but in my hand this does not feel like a cheap phone at all i feel like guys check this out no right yeah does it does it feel cheap to you not at all right now fingerprint wise i don't know which one of you did it but y'all it's just like it's me i was just trying to pull i wasn't trying to point it out but we got a couple of fingerprints on here but i don't think it's going to be easy i i walk around with this without a case if i and not worry about fingerprints so much now i believe that the s21 plus is going to be made out of that glass material so it's gonna have that matte glass look um in terms of colors we're looking at phantom violet phantom gray phantom white and i think phantom pink okay so i'm gonna power this thing on but let's really quickly talk about the specs that you're gonna get with this now cheaper phone so we are still getting a snapdragon 888 processor so that is the latest and greatest from qualcomm so you're getting the best chip that you can find on an android device right now we're also looking at eight gigs of ram across the board for the s21 and s21 plus we're looking at a 4 000 milliamp hour battery on this guy which is the same as last year but we'll see if software improvements have helped to give this thing a better battery life but the s21 plus does have a 4800 milliamp hour battery um in terms of screen size we're looking at a 6.2 inch display s21 plus has a 6.7 inch which is really close to the s21 ultra now where we will see some changes that kind of help bring that cost down are the displays so this is running a full hd plus display that's a step down compared to the quad hd plus that we used to have as an option before i don't know if it's gonna have a huge impact but it does suck to you know kind of lose the higher resolution okay so jay's complaining about this white screen saying it's blown out on the camera so i'm gonna finish setting this up and then we'll uh talk a bit more about the phone but while i'm going through the setup process there's one thing i do want to mention so we do have that built-in fingerprint scanner in the display and this has actually been increased 1.7 times so it's a bigger fingerprint scanner so you don't have to be super precise that's one thing with a lot of like my note 20 ultra over there i'm always just making sure i'm hitting that exact spot so this might make it a little bit easier to go ahead and do some scanning and unlocking your phone okay jay this is better for you oh yeah i love it all right all right as long as jay's happy so yes we do have a lower resolution display but luckily we still have access to that 120 hertz uh and this i believe has a range of 48 to 120 hertz refresh rate basically what that does is going to help improve battery life and it should also help make sure navigating the phone looks a lot smoother nice and clean now before we move on we haven't talked about the cameras which is one of the biggest changes on this device so what we're looking at is a 10 megapixel front facing camera so in the back we've got a 12 megapixel wide angle camera a 12 megapixel ultra wide and a 64 megapixel telephoto lens these are pretty much the same lenses that we saw on last year's model but of course there are software improvements so we're gonna see how much of an impact those have on the new cameras so that's pretty much the s21 in a nutshell you know we've got 5g in here we pretty much covered everything right moving on let's take out the big boy the s21 ultra 5g now this one i'm actually really pumped for because that camera is supposed to be really improved i remember when the s20 ultra came out there were so many promises and it was just like dang cameras not as great as we would have liked because it had some like focusing issues hopefully that's not going to be an issue here and man this feels like a thicker phone this feels so much oh hold on guys i didn't mention this flat display so we don't have those edges bleeding off on the sides anymore which i am super happy about i just noticed the edges on this guy i was like wait a minute yeah so now we have a flat display now i think the last time i did a real day in the life i asked you guys what do you think about that it was pretty 50 50 which was surprising i didn't know there were so many people that liked the edges being kind of tapered off i'm not a fan of that and i think samsung must be listening to people out there because we're starting to see them go away more and more so this is a thicker phone like this feels like a solid phone and check out that camera hump in the back guys tell me that doesn't look heavy duty that looks heavy-duty we've got four lenses over here uh but we'll talk more about those in a bit so right here what we've got is the phantom black version of the s21 ultra yo i loved i love this this camera cutout area i think it just looks dope it kind of reminds me of like those old nokia phones jay remember the like the nokia lumia i don't remember the exact one but that had like a big camera bump on the back i love it when you're unapologetic about the design here it just makes it easier for people to just say like oh yeah you know i just got a beefy camera that's all no big deal but i am interested in what cases will look like for this phone like this is a pretty huge uh bump so should be interesting but when it comes to the s21 ultra 5g we're looking at a few differences in terms of specs now i'm still going to have that snapdragon 888 processor so it's the latest and greatest there we're also looking at 12 gigs of ram and if you go with the highest storage option you'll get all the way up to 16 gigs of ram which is insane now in terms of battery life this guy's rocking 5 000 milliamp hours so that's a huge beefy battery so i'm very excited to see what the battery life is like and this thing is also rocking like that quad hd plus display that we're used to and in terms of the refresh rate instead of 48 to 120 hertz we're looking at 10 to 120 hertz you know before i jump into talking about the screen and all that let me just set this up so i can demonstrate all right so we've got the phone all set up now that adaptive refresh rate right so when you're not really using the phone let's say it stays on the home screen or something like this instead of firing at 120 hertz where it's like making sure it's nice and smooth it's all the way down to 10 so that it's not eating up the battery one thing that i am happy with has a nice 6.8 inch display but with that display you get the quad hd plus and you also get to finally use 120 hertz while in quad hd plus so high resolution high frame rates should lead to a good time but let's be real besides the size the display the ram the real big difference here is coming in with the cameras so we have a really big 108 megapixel wide angle camera lens which is a new lens so i can't wait to see how that performs but we also have a 12 megapixel ultrawide up top a 10 megapixel telephoto at the bottom that does a 10 times optical zoom and we also have another 10 megapixel telephoto that does a three times optical zoom now i know jay and i are we're gonna have some fun testing this thing out uh because samsung makes some dope cameras but this 108 megapixels you know new lens new telephotos it should be really really interesting and i believe there's also improvements to space zoom uh so that's like their digital zoom can we just give that a shot so we've got the four zoom ranges over here this is the ultra wide wide telephoto with the three times and the ten times right so let's see yeah it looks pretty clean let's take a quick photo i mean it's not bad not bad for this kind of lighting i'll take it let's get this gun down all the way in the back here 100 times and that looks so funky but that's that's where the magic happens jay it looks so bad on camera but when you actually take the picture it's not as horrible it's a hundred times jay it's a hundred times but yeah i think that should look pretty interesting i can't wait to try it out outside that's where we'll probably see way better results for that kind of thing but yeah this is the big selling point of the ultra like you've got all the crazy specs the crazy cameras the nice quality uh glass back um in case you were wondering guys this is pretty much gonna be the same unboxing experience you got your cable you got your quick start guide and you've got your sim ejector tool but the s20 ultra 5g does start at 11.99 and that's actually kind of interesting when you're comparing prices to like apple we've got 7.99 they made this a lot more competitive and pricing for the s21 iphone 12 is 7.99 s 21 plus 9.99 iphone 12 pro 9.99 the s21 ultra 5g is 11.99 while the iphone 12 pro max is 10.99 so this costs a little bit more but samsung banking on this being a probably more premium device so we'll see we'll test this in a real day in the life let you guys know all the good and the bad i'm actually going to be doing two real dandelions i'm going to do of course with the ultra m with the normal 21 because i feel like this is a kind of new territory where samsung has scaled back quite a bit we'll see if this impacts the end user but that about wraps it up for this video guys oh no no it doesn't i lied we got the smart tags so basically this is their version of like a tile we've been hearing rumors about apple coming out with this for ages with air tags that's what it's supposed to be and so i think you know samsung beat them to the punch so this is the smart tag so i'm actually going to throw this onto my keys give that a shot this should make finding devices a lot easier if you're not familiar with tile or you know what that's all about basically you attach this to something and then you can use your phone to locate it so if you misplace your keys like where i put my keys i do that you guys don't even want to no i do it a lot and i'm always pulling out my phone trying to find it trying to find my wallet so now you're going to be able to go into the smartthings app and be able to use that here and the smartthings app is available on a lot of different devices so not just galaxy devices so it's on the iphone if you have a samsung tv you have access to the smartthings app there so you're going to have a lot of different options in terms of being able to locate your devices with this guy i'm gonna throw these onto my personal keys let you guys know if it's worth it uh but yeah i think now that wraps it up stay tuned for the real day in the lives those are coming very soon and i'll catch you guys in the next video let me know though these prices how do we feel about that we like the cheaper do you not like the cutbacks do we not like the resolution the fact that there are less things in the box let me know with a comment down below but until next one guys it's your average consumer peace i've been waiting for this baby thoughwhat's going on guys it's your average consumer and it's that time of the year again we've got

the resolution the fact that there are less things in the box let me know with a comment down below but until next one guys it's your average consumer peace i've been waiting for this baby thoughwhat's going on guys it's your average consumer and it's that time of the year again we've got the new samsung galaxy devices the s21 5g and the big boy the s21 ultra 5g as well as some extra little accessories samsung came out with the galaxy buds pro and their smart tags we're going to talk about these in just a second actually i've got a video all about these i'll have it linked right down below i kind of already reviewed these so if you want to check that out link's in the description but the main attraction here are these two guys so let's do a quick unboxing all right so i'll put the air tight uh i said airtight so i'll put the smart tags over here so guys which one should we go for first carl okay save the big boy for last i like that all right so here we have the s21 5g let's pop it open right this is the i think it's the phantom violet color based on the s here and these boxes look clean and all these boxes are really small do we have a one of the other boxes were definitely bigger right yeah it was all right and check this box out it's got a nice slimmer design i feel like we're seeing manufacturers these days come out with smaller boxes we've kind of seen this before but that's good so let's pop it open okay put this away and we've got the phone i like this i like this a lot actually samsung started leaning into the whole camera bump thing just with their s20 line especially the s20 ultra as well as the note 20 ultra i've got the note 20 ultra over here i mean check out this camera bump samsung's like i don't care it's there and it's beautiful and they kind of did a little bit more with this year's models by making it flushed with the frame instead of just being a big hunk in the middle carl you got on purple right now what'd you think that was blue but it looks nice though carl did you say blue bro it's far like it's math r for me anyway back to the unboxing guys so we'll talk a little bit more about this design in a second we just want to quickly look at what's inside of the box i got some sim card stuff and let's see so everything is now packaged in this small box so let's see what we get in here quick start guide and we've got our usb c to c cable all right yeah that's that's that's how they slimmed it down that's these are the only two things that you get inside of the box now i knew that they didn't carry the power brick anymore so now we'll start to see a lot of manufacturers doing the same thing we saw samsung on social media make posts about the adapter they did delete those posts because look where we are right now oh okay we also have a sim ejector tool but for those of you who aren't familiar with the new s21 let's kind of talk about it let's take a look at what makes this one so special and how samsung got that price down to 7.99 i'll take it all right guys here it is the s21 5g now one of the biggest changes you'll see is in the back the materials that they used here is polycarbonate plastic but that is what kind of helps bring the cost down it's not that glass that we've seen in previous models helps the phone feel pretty light this is a light feeling phone but i will say you'll probably hear all over oh samsung went with plastic and all this and that but in my hand this does not feel like a cheap phone at all i feel like guys check this out no right yeah does it does it feel cheap to you not at all right now fingerprint wise i don't know which one of you did it but y'all it's just like it's me i was just trying to pull i wasn't trying to point it out but we got a couple of fingerprints on here but i don't think it's going to be easy i i walk around with this without a case if i and not worry about fingerprints so much now i believe that the s21 plus is going to be made out of that glass material so it's gonna have that matte glass look um in terms of colors we're looking at phantom violet phantom gray phantom white and i think phantom pink okay so i'm gonna power this thing on but let's really quickly talk about the specs that you're gonna get with this now cheaper phone so we are still getting a snapdragon 888 processor so that is the latest and greatest from qualcomm so you're getting the best chip that you can find on an android device right now we're also looking at eight gigs of ram across the board for the s21 and s21 plus we're looking at a 4 000 milliamp hour battery on this guy which is the same as last year but we'll see if software improvements have helped to give this thing a better battery life but the s21 plus does have a 4800 milliamp hour battery um in terms of screen size we're looking at a 6.2 inch display s21 plus has a 6.7 inch which is really close to the s21 ultra now where we will see some changes that kind of help bring that cost down are the displays so this is running a full hd plus display that's a step down compared to the quad hd plus that we used to have as an option before i don't know if it's gonna have a huge impact but it does suck to you know kind of lose the higher resolution okay so jay's complaining about this white screen saying it's blown out on the camera so i'm gonna finish setting this up and then we'll uh talk a bit more about the phone but while i'm going through the setup process there's one thing i do want to mention so we do have that built-in fingerprint scanner in the display and this has actually been increased 1.7 times so it's a bigger fingerprint scanner so you don't have to be super precise that's one thing with a lot of like my note 20 ultra over there i'm always just making sure i'm hitting that exact spot so this might make it a little bit easier to go ahead and do some scanning and unlocking your phone okay jay this is better for you oh yeah i love it all right all right as long as jay's happy so yes we do have a lower resolution display but luckily we still have access to that 120 hertz uh and this i believe has a range of 48 to 120 hertz refresh rate basically what that does is going to help improve battery life and it should also help make sure navigating the phone looks a lot smoother nice and clean now before we move on we haven't talked about the cameras which is one of the biggest changes on this device so what we're looking at is a 10 megapixel front facing camera so in the back we've got a 12 megapixel wide angle camera a 12 megapixel ultra wide and a 64 megapixel telephoto lens these are pretty much the same lenses that we saw on last year's model but of course there are software improvements so we're gonna see how much of an impact those have on the new cameras so that's pretty much the s21 in a nutshell you know we've got 5g in here we pretty much covered everything right moving on let's take out the big boy the s21 ultra 5g now this one i'm actually really pumped for because that camera is supposed to be really improved i remember when the s20 ultra came out there were so many promises and it was just like dang cameras not as great as we would have liked because it had some like focusing issues hopefully that's not going to be an issue here and man this feels like a thicker phone this feels so much oh hold on guys i didn't mention this flat display so we don't have those edges bleeding off on the sides anymore which i am super happy about i just noticed the edges on this guy i was like wait a minute yeah so now we have a flat display now i think the last time i did a real day in the life i asked you guys what do you think about that it was pretty 50 50 which was surprising i didn't know there were so many people that liked the edges being kind of tapered off i'm not a fan of that and i think samsung must be listening to people out there because we're starting to see them go away more and more so this is a thicker phone like this feels like a solid phone and check out that camera hump in the back guys tell me that doesn't look heavy duty that looks heavy-duty we've got four lenses over here uh but we'll talk more about those in a bit so right here what we've got is the phantom black version of the s21 ultra yo i loved i love this this camera cutout area i think it just looks dope it kind of reminds me of like those old nokia phones jay remember the like the nokia lumia i don't remember the exact one but that had like a big camera bump on the back i love it when you're unapologetic about the design here it just makes it easier for people to just say like oh yeah you know i just got a beefy camera that's all no big deal but i am interested in what cases will look like for this phone like this is a pretty huge uh bump so should be interesting but when it comes to the s21 ultra 5g we're looking at a few differences in terms of specs now i'm still going to have that snapdragon 888 processor so it's the latest and greatest there we're also looking at 12 gigs of ram and if you go with the highest storage option you'll get all the way up to 16 gigs of ram which is insane now in terms of battery life this guy's rocking 5 000 milliamp hours so that's a huge beefy battery so i'm very excited to see what the battery life is like and this thing is also rocking like that quad hd plus display that we're used to and in terms of the refresh rate instead of 48 to 120 hertz we're looking at 10 to 120 hertz you know before i jump into talking about the screen and all that let me just set this up so i can demonstrate all right so we've got the phone all set up now that adaptive refresh rate right so when you're not really using the phone let's say it stays on the home screen or something like this instead of firing at 120 hertz where it's like making sure it's nice and smooth it's all the way down to 10 so that it's not eating up the battery one thing that i am happy with has a nice 6.8 inch display but with that display you get the quad hd plus and you also get to finally use 120 hertz while in quad hd plus so high resolution high frame rates should lead to a good time but let's be real besides the size the display the ram the real big difference here is coming in with the cameras so we have a really big 108 megapixel wide angle camera lens which is a new lens so i can't wait to see how that performs but we also have a 12 megapixel ultrawide up top a 10 megapixel telephoto at the bottom that does a 10 times optical zoom and we also have another 10 megapixel telephoto that does a three times optical zoom now i know jay and i are we're gonna have some fun testing this thing out uh because samsung makes some dope cameras but this 108 megapixels you know new lens new telephotos it should be really really interesting and i believe there's also improvements to space zoom uh so that's like their digital zoom can we just give that a shot so we've got the four zoom ranges over here this is the ultra wide wide telephoto with the three times and the ten times right so let's see yeah it looks pretty clean let's take a quick photo i mean it's not bad not bad for this kind of lighting i'll take it let's get this gun down all the way in the back here 100 times and that looks so funky but that's that's where the magic happens jay it looks so bad on camera but when you actually take the picture it's not as horrible it's a hundred times jay it's a hundred times but yeah i think that should look pretty interesting i can't wait to try it out outside that's where we'll probably see way better results for that kind of thing but yeah this is the big selling point of the ultra like you've got all the crazy specs the crazy cameras the nice quality uh glass back um in case you were wondering guys this is pretty much gonna be the same unboxing experience you got your cable you got your quick start guide and you've got your sim ejector tool but the s20 ultra 5g does start at 11.99 and that's actually kind of interesting when you're comparing prices to like apple we've got 7.99 they made this a lot more competitive and pricing for the s21 iphone 12 is 7.99 s 21 plus 9.99 iphone 12 pro 9.99 the s21 ultra 5g is 11.99 while the iphone 12 pro max is 10.99 so this costs a little bit more but samsung banking on this being a probably more premium device so we'll see we'll test this in a real day in the life let you guys know all the good and the bad i'm actually going to be doing two real dandelions i'm going to do of course with the ultra m with the normal 21 because i feel like this is a kind of new territory where samsung has scaled back quite a bit we'll see if this impacts the end user but that about wraps it up for this video guys oh no no it doesn't i lied we got the smart tags so basically this is their version of like a tile we've been hearing rumors about apple coming out with this for ages with air tags that's what it's supposed to be and so i think you know samsung beat them to the punch so this is the smart tag so i'm actually going to throw this onto my keys give that a shot this should make finding devices a lot easier if you're not familiar with tile or you know what that's all about basically you attach this to something and then you can use your phone to locate it so if you misplace your keys like where i put my keys i do that you guys don't even want to no i do it a lot and i'm always pulling out my phone trying to find it trying to find my wallet so now you're going to be able to go into the smartthings app and be able to use that here and the smartthings app is available on a lot of different devices so not just galaxy devices so it's on the iphone if you have a samsung tv you have access to the smartthings app there so you're going to have a lot of different options in terms of being able to locate your devices with this guy i'm gonna throw these onto my personal keys let you guys know if it's worth it uh but yeah i think now that wraps it up stay tuned for the real day in the lives those are coming very soon and i'll catch you guys in the next video let me know though these prices how do we feel about that we like the cheaper do you not like the cutbacks do we not like the resolution the fact that there are less things in the box let me know with a comment down below but until next one guys it's your average consumer peace i've been waiting for this baby though\n"
