This useless S21 Ultra clone is non-comparable with Samsung’s Galaxy S21 Ultra
At the moment, Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is the best smartphone in the world in terms of every aspect. Everyone does not like to purchase a mobile phone that costs in 4 digits in the US, while the S21 Ultra clones are floating around on several e-commerce platforms.
In a recent development, our folks over at XDA-Developers shared a comparison video between the Chinese Galaxy S21 Ultra vs real Galaxy S21 Ultra. And of course, the clone model looks very bad and also non-comparable with the real one. Check the video at the bottom.

Unlike the expensive Galaxy S21 Ultra, its clone model can be easily purchased at just $100, which directly comes from Chinese country Hong Kong. However, it is a copied Galaxy S21 Ultra, but it’s a completely useless and bad-looking phone that runs a 5 generation older stock UI.
Well, the clone variant highlights some elements exactly as the original Galaxy S21 Ultra such as boot screen, home screen wallpapers, and One UI’s app icons. While the back panel of this clone model is entirely different and it’s very funny to compare it with Samsung’s high-profile flagship.

As Galaxy S21 Ultra uses Samsung’s Infinity-O display with a very small cutout of selfie camera, its Chinese copy sports an entry-level phone like U notch screen with very thick bezels. Under the hood, it comes with a MediaTek MT6782 processor supported by a massive (joking) 1GB of RAM and 2GB of internal storage.
Apple’s newly released iPhone 15 Pro models evolved controversial over the heating problems. Various users complain that their device gets warm even without heavy usage. Well, Apple has finally decided to acknowledge overheating issues with the iPhone 15 Pro.
The iPhone maker issued a statement via Forbes, as to how it plans to address the problems. Apple has finally acknowledged that the iPhone 15 Pro series is having overheating problems. The company will release a new iOS 17 update for the devices soon.
Apple said the following: “We have identified a few conditions which can cause iPhone to run warmer than expected. The device may feel warmer during the first few days after setting up or restoring the device because of increased background activity”.
Apple’s statement notes that recent updates to some third-party apps on iOS 17, like Instagram, Asphalt 9, and Uber, overload the A17 Pro chip’s CPU, causing the iPhone to get warmer than normal. The optimization work is underway along with implementing necessary fixes to completely address the problem.

Samsung is returning the Exynos chip, while the next Galaxy S Ultra will solely use the Snapdragon chipset. Equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy, the Galaxy S23 Ultra already surpasses the iPhone 15 Pro Max in graphics tests, the Galaxy S24 Ultra will be the next gaming king.
In a recent GPU compute test on Geekbench 6, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 scored over 15,000 points, 60% higher than the GPU score (9,000 points) of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Since the Galaxy S24 Ultra will boast the 8 Gen 3’s “for Galaxy” variant, the GPU performance will likely be even better.
