The S21 Ultra is the largest member of the Galaxy S21 series equipped with a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X Display. For the first time, users no longer need to choose between the 120Hz refresh rate of the S21 Ultra and the smoothness of the Quad HD+ display.
The refresh rate of the screen can adjust the content you are watching from 10Hz to 120Hz to ensure that you can not only enjoy excellent images but also have enough features to extend battery life.
Compared with the Galaxy S20, the image brightness of the S21 Ultra is increased by 25%, with a peak brightness of 1,500nits, which is the brightest on the Galaxy smartphone. Contrast is increased by 50%, providing clear and immersive images even outdoors. Like Galaxy S21 and S21+, Galaxy S21 Ultra also has Eye Comfort Shield, which can help reduce eye strain.
The Galaxy S21 Ultra is equipped with the most advanced professional-grade camera system, so you can capture stunning, studio-quality photos under various lighting and settings, or use the new AI-based feature toolbox and editing enhancements for every shot.
It has quad rear cameras (ultra-wide, wide-angle, and dual telephoto lenses), with an advanced 108MP Pro sensor, from which you can capture 12-bit HDR photos with 64 times richer color data and more than three times wider dynamic range.
For the first time on a Galaxy smartphone, you can shoot in 4K at 60fps on all lenses (including the front and rear four lenses), so that you can switch to different perspectives with the same quality. Similarly, with the 12-bit RAW file option, you will not miss any details when editing photos.
When zooming in on the Galaxy S21 Ultra, you don’t have to worry about clarity. The Galaxy S21 Ultra has a 100x space zoom and is powered by Samsung’s first dual telephoto lens system-equipped with optical 3x and dual-pixel (2PD) AF with optical 10x, so you can take clear pictures even when you are away.
The outstanding bright night sensor of the Galaxy S21 Ultra is Samsung’s biggest leap in low-light photography ever. With improved night mode, noise reduction, and 12MP nona-binning technology, you can quickly take high-quality and challenging photos, such as dim rooms or night scenery.
The Galaxy S21 Ultra’s groundbreaking camera, display, and connectivity are supported by the most advanced chipset in Galaxy devices. It provides faster speeds, advanced calculations, and higher energy efficiency. Moreover, when the battery power is low, the Galaxy S21 Ultra can complete a 50% charge in 30 minutes.
Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra with S Pen:
From drawing to taking notes to editing photos and signing documents, you can now unlock the S Pen feature on the Galaxy S21 Ultra. You can use an existing S Pen from a Galaxy Note or Galaxy Tab or an S Pen purchased separately with a compatible case.
Wi-Fi 6E and 5G
To get a better and faster connection, the Galaxy S21 Ultra is one of the first smartphones to support Wi-Fi 6E. You will be able to enjoy more bandwidth and faster Internet connection so that you can stream and share content in a blink of an eye. With ultra-fast, ultra-low latency 5G, the S21 can provide ultra-fast video downloads, smooth video conferencing, and streaming.
UWB and Bluetooth
Thanks to the ultra-wideband function (UWB) embedded in the Galaxy S21 Ultra and S21 +, you can pull the key to unlock compatible car doors automatically using your Galaxy S21 device. With UWB-enabled Galaxy S21 Ultra and Galaxy S21 +, you can use the AR Finder to search with virtual messages to tell other Galaxy smartphone users that you need help finding lost items.
With SmartThings on Android Auto, you can also use the Galaxy S21 series to control smart devices from car to home. By connecting the Galaxy S21 to a car compatible with Android Auto, you can turn on the porch light from your home or even raise the thermostat’s temperature before going home.
Also, the Galaxy S21 Ultra supports dual-Bluetooth to help your connected device (such as the Galaxy Buds Pro) consume less energy through a stable connection.
Samsung’s latest foldable phones come with Google Messages by default. The company has now revealed the reason behind this move on Galaxy devices. Samsung says Google Messages replaced Messages to foster RCS adoption.
According to AndroidAuthority, a source explained Samsung’s decision to switch to Google Messages as the default messaging app. The recently released Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6 come with Google Messages with RCS enabled by default.
Looks like promoting Google Messages on Galaxy devices will boost RCS adoption. Samsung Messages isn’t already installed on newer phones. However, one’s stopping you from getting it on your Galaxy from the Galaxy Store.
While many apps support the RCS feature, Google Messages offer the best user experience. Making it a default messaging app is an effort to boost the adoption of RCS tech. Apple is also preparing to bring RCS chat functionality to iMessage for iPhones.
What Samsung source said:
- Even if messaging apps follow the RCS standard, the availability may be limited depending on which app the other party uses. That’s why we decided to make Google Messages the common messaging platform, allowing Galaxy users to communicate more freely. This also enables a messaging app to respond to changes of the RCS standard more quickly and efficiently.
Previously, Samsung devices launched in the US came with two messaging apps. This time, the company has removed the Samsung Messages. During the first setup, users are notified that Google Messages is the default messaging application.
Samsung SmartThings gained the international standard ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification. The company has officially announced this major development in its global connected living platform.
SmartThings received ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification for information security management systems. Certification reiterates that the SmartThings Cloud operates per international standards.
To be certified, a company has to meet the standard across a total of 123 detailed items, including policies for information security, access control for information assets, and incident response.
SmartThings receiving the ISO 27001 certification is the result of our sustained focus on the protection of information in a hyper-connected world with exponentially increasing intelligence.
Seungbum Choi, Executive Vice President and Head of Device Platform Center at Samsung Electronics said “this is just another step in our drive to fortify the platform’s security. We will continue to find new ways to ensure that SmartThings’ personalized services are provided even more safely.”
BSI Prez says that they have recognized that the operation capability and security level of Samsung SmartThings is excellent. It will further boost trust in the SmartThings platform and strengthen business competitiveness.
ISO 27001 is the leading global standard for ISMSs and was established by the International Organization for Standardization. It provides companies with guidance to manage the risks to information assets systematically and achieve information protection goals.
Samsung Health app integrated the Dr.diary (Doctor Diary) glycated hemoglobin feature. The blood sugar management platform announced the launch of its glycated hemoglobin estimation functionality on Samsung’s Health application.
According to ETNews, Dr.diary announced the integration of a glycated hemoglobin level feature in Samsung Health. Galaxy users will now be able to check the estimated glycated hemoglobin level provided by Doctor Diary.
To activate the feature, Health app users will have to permit certain conditions of data in the Blood Sugar service. It is worth noting that glycated hemoglobin is a key figure for diabetes diagnosis, which users will find worth using in the Health app.
Established in 2017, Dr.diary is a blood sugar management platform. It analyzes and predicts the changes in glycated hemoglobin using its own algorithm. Earlier this year, the firm secured a patent for “glycated hemoglobin estimation based on blood sugar data table.”
Song Je-yoon, CEO of Doctor Diary, said, “With our predicted glycated hemoglobin level prediction algorithm being installed in Samsung Health, more people will be able to recognize their glycated hemoglobin level and manage their health more efficiently.”
Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a standardized numerical value of the percentage of hemoglobin, such as hemoglobin, which has been glycated by glucose. Glycated hemoglobin reflects the average blood sugar level over the past 2-3 months.
Samsung Health (with Wear OS Galaxy Watch) users can conveniently check their estimated glycated hemoglobin level within the app and use this information to manage their blood sugar levels through diet and exercise.
