Galaxy S21 Ultra vs Galaxy S21 Camera Test Comparison After Update! 

I know this comparison is late but this is AFTER both got a software update. Does the cheaper Galaxy S21 take better pics than the more expensive Galaxy S21 Ultra?

At last, someone did something which is far from usual reviews and comparisons. Love your content as always! ❤️

This is exactly what I was looking for. The most important thing for me is being able to take photos of houses for my real estate business. I also take casual photos with the family. Given that the 10x zoom isn’t a priority to me (even though it looks fabulous on the ultra), I’m going to go with the regular S21. Thanks so much for guiding my decision!

congratulations Danny, you are one of the few content creators, who are showing the evolution of the cameras after the updates ... that makes me always connected to your channel.

Great review, I actually own a S21+ in black and love the phone. I was actually wondering if I should sell it to upgrade to the Ultra, but seeing your comparison helped me see they are very similar unless you really need to use the Zoom feature.

Thank you, thank you! I really waited for this video!

The performance of the Samsung s21 line cameras this year has made a lot of iPhone users upset...

Your example shots are amazing, so refreshing to see someone that's a real photographer doing these videos

Thank you! This is the video I've been searching for to answer my questions!

Huge fan of your camera comparisons, Danny! I always come to you for this stuff before anyone else. Appreciate all the time and effort you put into these. I would love to do this for a living!

The zooms are something I didn't know I needed but now I have will never be able to go back to a camera without such good zooms

Best camera samples and comparison! Great job! You are one of the few who get good landscapes and subjects for the sample photos.

Thanks Danny for this great comparison!

This is an amazing review. Thanks for sharing all the photos. Appreciate the hard work.

Why isn't this guy at 1 million subs yet 🤔 let's get this man 1mil

Great video, as always! Thanks for the effort👍 really gets me thinking about switching from my Pixel...

O melhor vídeo comparativo que achei!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 parabéns, deu para tirar todas as minhas dúvidas.🇧🇷

Great camera comparison I just got the S21 Ultra and I'm loving the camera.

This is such a great review & comparison! Really enlightened me on which one to get. Thank you!❤

Love ur camera comparism always Danny keep the good work

danny's camera comparison among the best! keep it up!

I have taken a screenshot of the 30x moon comparison and looked at the results. Surprisingly, the results are very similar. The S21 Ultra photo just has more craters (the S21 doesn't really show the Tycho crater), but many other craters/structures look basically identical with both phones! For example the rays of the Copernicus crater look nearly identical. The S21 moon photo also doesn't look more pixelated! This suggests that the S21 uses a lot of machine learning for the moon. Samsung already confirmed that they use machine learning for the zoom. Due to diffraction, it's physically definitely not possible that the S21 captures the same amount of detail from certain(!) moon craters.

It's very appreciated that you took the time to re-do this comparison after the software update, many reviewers forget about the phones right after release.

Amazing video presentation, thank you! I really just wish that you have shown a comparison of the Slow Motion and Super Slow Motion that these two phones offer. Samsung have made a big change in that frontier to the S21 Ultra!

ive literally been watching so many s21 comparison videos to see how the camera would compare to my huawei p30 pro at taking moon pics and finally at the end of the video you answered my question! thankyou for a great review! i still cant decide which to get though!

Thanks for the video! As someone that has small hands and prefers smaller phones, I was leaning towards the S21 but was interested in the Ultra because of the camera/battery. After seeing this review, I'll go ahead and stay in my comfort zone and get the S21.

Thanks Danny. You clearly know what you're talking about! I'm going on a Mediterranean cruise and already own the S21+. Was considering the upgrade to the Ultra but I'm going to settle with 'good enough'. Thanks man!!!

Thanks for the video, this was really helpful!

Nice video! Noone has ever done camera comparison from the same phone lineup.👍

Thank you Danny. I got the update and thought "hope Danny does a test to see what camera improvements were made".

Great comparison! Thank you. Took a lot of doubts!

Really love this comparison 💯 It helped a lot

Again love your clear and honest comparison 💓

Super helpful! Thank you so much!

This is SO helpful, thank you!

Thank you for an excellent comparison video!

Thank you for this nice explanation.🤩🤩

Great Work! It helps my decision! Thanks!

Absolutely fantastic video! Thanks a lot for the great content, as always! I was sold to the Ultra by the dynamic range alone already, and then came the night mode portraits. Finally an Ultra that's really worth it! Now I'm hoping Samsung gives us the option to use the 3x zoom camera for the portrait mode on the Note 21 Ultra!

your comparisons are great as always.

Why didnt they switch portrait mode with the 3x ? 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Thank you great review 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Very nice review, Danny. Thanks!

Both have great cameras, but I went with the Ultra. Great video, thank you!!

Can you please do a comparison of the S10 vs S21 ? Just curious. THANKS AND GREAT STUFF

Great review! Thanks man!

I am surprised you haven't done a s21 ultra vs note 20 ultra camera comparion yet.

This is a really useful comparison, thank you.

Love the video! Great comparison 👌👌

Great video as always! Keep up 👍

Thanks for the video mate!

You should make a vid of s20 vs s21 camera comparison Great vid btw

The comparisons I was looking for AND Disney? Yes please 😜 Thank you!

Grea2t review! Did you use Tripod on the night shots?

Nice comparison¡¡ I always use the flash if I want to take night portrait.

Nice comparison.. portrait night mode is a separate mode??

A fabulous comparison --- Thanks

Looking for camera comparison between regular s21 & Mi 11 also Regular s21 & OnePlus 9 once it comes up..!! U give the most underrated, audience specific videos 👍👍

Danny ..you are always great...we live you

Thanks for this helpful video!

When you gonna show us the s22 vs s22 ultra camera? You're the only one person getting straight to the point and showing me exactly what i wanted to see

The megapixel mean a lot when you want to print, from my experience I have a favorite landscape photo taken some years ago on my 12MP Galaxy S7 , I want to print it as a poster unfortunate not flexible to process and edit although I have a RAW file

Great video, thanks!

Danny is the MVP when it comes to camera comparison.

What are your thoughts on indoor action videos with these two? My daughter does horse sports that I need to video, sometimes on zoom, and often inside an arena.

Great review. Thank you.

Danny is my favorite .. Danny..you are always brilliant..😍

What would be nice is to compare a Note 10+ vs a S21 Ultra so we could see if image/video quality has improved, of course zoom tests aside, curious..hmm Thanks for the video, these S21 series are amazing

Perfect. Thank you!

Awesome video. Just subscribed

Just upgraded from the S9 to the S21 did they ever update the portrait night mode on the S21 great video tyvm

Is the regular s21 mirrorless or dslr??

This might be a niche market comparison but could you compare the s20 ultra with s21?

I got the galaxy s21 in phantom Grey camera is awesome I wanted the ultra only because of the bigger zoom bit I'm happy with the s21 I switched from the iPhone 8plus

great and thank you for this video

Hey Hi Denny that was nice to see this video

Hey, which is better for ultra wide photos ? Thanks

S21 Ultra. Damm! 👍 I live in Europe so it could be more useful for me watch the Exynos camera performance.. Because from what I saw until now, the Exynos has better camera performance for photos but worst for videos..

Danny a have 1 question: when you use selfie night mode into a darknest place, it’s normal that S21 Ultra shows a square gray while taking the photo?

Hey Danny! Since this is an after update review I’m curious to know how much the S21 Ultra has improved since launch .. I had it but sold it coz of some horrible image processing issues I had observed early on. There was a lot of over sharpening and weird green digital noise. Has the overprocessing been rectified? I’m asking this particularly with regards to zooming in and pixel peeping. Samsung photos look good zoomed out. The compression artifacts and overprocessing is evident only upon close inspection. Would love to have your inputs here.

Great video Danny! I would love to know your opinion on DXOMarks s21 ultra camera review scoring a low 121 points. Wondering if you could do a video on this and take similar photos to the review and compare them with the competitors? I'm sure viewers would find this very interesting to watch.

Hey Danny! What u think about the DxOMark results?

Hey danny can you do a comparison with the exynos and snapdragon variant

Great comparison I have s21 and love it

Hi! I have a question. I have made a 4k video with a Galaxy S8 2 years ago, and I uploaded it to RU-vid. What happened is, that it never shows 2160p quality, it shows only 1080p(on my PC), and this is frustrating! Any idea why is this happening? Thanks!

I use my great Note-10-Plus which make fantastic good Fotos. May you make a small Comparising-Video with Fotos from Note-10-Plus with S21-Ultra? 🙂👍

I LOVED THIS VIDEO! Thank you so much, it was really helpful. I was thinking about buying a Canon 5d mark IV camera, because I'm planning to travel a lot, but since it's really huge, I would need a phone, too, with a great camera, so I don't always have to bring that huge camera with me. I have heard a lot about Galaxy S21 ultra, but it's so expensive for a phone to me, so I wanted to know more about the much cheaper S21. Do you think it would be great for pictures to insta stories? I want to create a traveler acc there.

After watching your earlier video comparing the S21 and S21 Ultra we decided to buy one of each. My wife will be using the S21 and I get the Ultra. Great videos keep up the good work.

I had never seen a review zoom in on human subjects this candidly to test zoom capabilities. 😂

7:00 Is it possible to get the portrait night mode on the regular s21? I really want to buy the s21 regular but that is a key feature.

I have a samsung galaxy s8 and want to buy a new one. Are the differences also big with a jump to a s21 or it needs to be the s21 ultra...? Im a bit confused, im not all the time on my handy and i think for that price the normal s21 is the right one for me. I also prefere the size... what you guy think? Greetings from Switzerland

Bro im telling you with the feb patch my s21+ has gotten way way better...it has the best overall camera in this price range...the picture quality you get is almost unbelievable and the videos look gorgeous.If anyone want to go with the base s21 they can very well go for it.. Its worth it. I'm extremely happy with this devices camera performance.

Great review! Thank you for this video. Very informative!

How is the image from s21 sharper and more detailed than that of s21 ultra at exactly 1.47 in the video. The texture on the rock is far more detailed on s21 image and s21 ultra has some sort of motion blur or softness on the texture. Why is this? Was s21 ultra moving a little when the pic was taken? Even at 3.41 the texture on the concrete crocodile looks much more detailed on s21 image. This is confusing and disappointing at the same time. A more expensive phone taking less sharp images is unacceptable.

Snapdragon Note 20 ultra ( Honkong version ) is available in few stores in dubai . is it safe to purchase it ? Please reply

I'm over here really liking the ultra but I'm upgrading from a samsung galaxy s7 so anything will be a huge upgrade for me!

thanks for the review

Plz do a camera comperison between Huawei p40 + & s21 ultra. Because Huawei Ist introduce this 3x and 10x zoom.

Wow... With the exception of the 30xzoom, which let's be honest, is an unnecessary luxury, I'm definitely going for the s21, great phone. Is there a major difference between the regular and the plus?

the s21 compensates for its lack of laser AF by software sharpening which is not ideal for human faces/portraits....s21 ultra for me all the way....until samsung uses that huge sensor on mi 11 ultra on its own smartphone...nice vid!
