Design and Build Quality
The design is similar to that of the S21 and S21+, but the camera module is larger, housing 4 camera, and a laser auto-focus sensor, and is more ergonomically designed, and the matte finish on the back is just amazing, its better than the S21+, and can probably is the best S series smartphone till now, the back is protected by corning gorilla glass victus, and the front s also protected by coring gorilla glass victus
I only have one complaint about the design and that is the position of the selfies camera, top left corner is the best position for a front-facing camera, but in the Galaxy S21 ultra it is placed at the top center, but it is up to the person some may like it on the top center, or on the top left corner.
The Build Quality is again top-notch, having a glass sandwich design, with both the front and back being protected by the corning gorilla glass victus, the best protection from Corning, and the frame is made of aluminum.
Display
Again a top-notch display made by Samsung themselves, it’s an LTOP display and has a variable refresh rate from 10Hz to 120Hz, which should essentially help in increasing battery efficiency.
Galaxy S21 Ultra has a 6.8” Dynamic AMOLED 2X Infinity-O Display with a native resolution of QHD+(1440 x 3200 pixels), a 20:9 Aspect Ratio, with a Pixel Density of 515 PPI, its HDR10+ certified, and has 120Hz refresh rate, and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus.
