The Galaxy S21 Ultra is the king among kings within Samsung's new high-end flagship series. It features the largest and brightest display with the highest resolution, the largest battery, and the most versatile camera. However, Europeans are once again served a model with Samsung's own in-house Exynos SoC, albeit an allegedly improved version thereof. Let's find out how well this combination does, shall we?

Look at that idle power consumption! Very nice, this is one of the best improvements => could that mean 4 days battery life if barrely used?
The geek bench benchmarks you recorded for the A14 is incorrect. Single core performance for Apple A14 is 1591 and Multicore is 4103. I'm pretty sure that who ever did the benchmarks for the iPhone 12 Pro Max used an iPhone 11 Pro Max instead. If you are going to compare CPU performance, you should compare the results you have with other tech reviewers to prevent mistakes like this. It effects your credibility and people will not see your reviews as reliable.
There is something seriously wrong with the results for the iPhone 12 Pro. This is an egregious error that makes me question the crediblity of this site.

The sharpness of the sample photo is completely off compared to what I shot. It either should be the ISP difference (Snapdragon vs Exynos) or the firmware. After watching videos of photo comparison from youtube, I'm pretty sure its the firmware problem (either this phone is not up to date or its a media review phone that can't be updated)
1. Why you didn't test without scene optimizer on? it is famous for over sharpening and smudging
2. You test way too little photos, please more tests.
No way! I can't believe that S21U doesn't have the LC3 codec provides from Bluetooth 5.2? I'm so disappointed! man, it's a native codec, how dare?
How about portrait mode using an hmdi output to a second screen to shoot video? Anyone know if Samsung fixed this?
