Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G

A flagship phone that can take pictures of the inside of your soul

Last year was a toughie for smartphone shutterbugs. While the cameras on offer were better than ever, there’s only so much use you can get out of one when you have to spend 95% of your time stuck indoors. With any luck, 2021 will give us more than just our cats and dinners to take pictures of… and when it does, Samsung’s Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G will make sure you’re ready to get the best shot.

As well as a completely new 108MP main sensor, there’s a 12MP ultrawide one that doubles as a macro lens when you get close enough, and dual 10MP telephoto lenses with optical zoom (one 10x, one 3x). And even if you can’t get outside, the 100x Space Zoom will help you get a closer look at things that are really far away.

It’s all powered by an Exynos 2100 chip that’s 15% faster and offers a 33% boost in graphics performance, plus it’s the first phone to support Wi-fi 6E, which should mean double the download speeds. Chuck in support for a new Note-style S Pen stylus, and you’re looking at a phone that very much lives up to its Ultra moniker. As hot as… your most photogenic curry from £1149 / samsung.com
