Quick maths fail S21U has 11% bigger battery than Note (not 20%) 😅 Also - is having a MicroSD card a big deal for you?? Big thanks to @booredatwork for sharing this Snapdragon figures with me. (Also - correction Note 20U has 8 / 12GB RAM, S21 has 12 / 16).
@@waelhussien6528 why would you even consider upgrading from a 5 month old phone? And yeah the S21 needs an update in portrait mode. They're too soft and blurry and I think it's cause they're using digital zoom from the main lens instead of the 3x optical zoom. Easy fix with an update I hope.
Micro SD means all media can be separated from the system, which is invaluable if you need to reset the device or move to a new one, it's not just about increasing storage capacity. Also the Note has integrated housing for the S Pen which is a massive advantage.
You can still use a micro SD card if you get an external reader and connect via USB. Also cloud storage is a viable option. I agree a lack of SD card support is a huge bummer and has always been something i appreciated on my phones, but I'd say it's not the end of the world.

@@alittlesnag it' can't be called progression to have to use an external reader! Also I would always use FHD+ even if I had the option for QHD for the superior battery life and the fact I can't tell a difference.
@not tellin having external storage is not the same as having a micro SD card in the phone that you never have to think about or remember to bring along it's the same as s-pen support is not the same as s-pen integration
The boxy design looks so much cooler. If you watch a UA-cam video on the round corner like s21 in portrait mode, the top corners of the video will get cut off/or curved so it looks weird
@@KingsDR I also have the note 9 but thinking of switching to N2U. I don't use the pen that much but I still love to have it available whenever I need tho 😬😬
Great comparison! I'm keeping my Note 20 Ultra. I love the form factor. I just prefer the design and the larger screen. The camera does not seem that different to me between the two, except for the bigger zoom and macro ability of the wide angle lens. It's just a beautiful phone and I won't be upgrading for a few years unless something really revolutionary comes out.
the SD card is very important for the por... haha. But seriously, I need it for my 256GB microSD to save my movies if I travel somewhere with bad internet connection :(
Was set on the Note 20 Ultra before watching this video. After hearing you continuously talk about how the S21 is better, tomorrow I will be purchasing... The Note 20 Ultra anyways. Good video though.
Sd card was a huge dealbreak for me, went with 20 for storage of things like emulator roms and being able to transfer big gaming apps like genshin impact.
Honestly such a great UA-camr, it is not just the quality of the videos that draws me in but also your charming personality. It’s like spending time with that one friend that everyone seems to like!
@@Thetechchap why man, why you didn't give us night mode/darkness comparison, i know you said it had better white balance but why not show us the details?
I haven't really had my note20 ultra long but I'm happy with it and happy with the cameras on it think I'm going to hold out another year with it and maybe switch on the next flagship
One thing no reviewers mention is the fact that the S21 series do not support MST. (magnetic secure transmission) that means Samsung Pay will only work with NFC, and not with the older traditional payment card systems. It doesnt bother me cos I never use these type of payment systems, but it could be a real issue for some people.
Mannn, I just ordered a note 20 ultra, fell in love with it, and my wife wanted the note, so I decided to order the s21, and just couldn't feel it the same way. No SD card killed it for me. Long story short, told my wife I'm sending it back and get her a note 20 ultra.
Well if the selling point are the cameras 📷 we do need SD cards to move videos fast from the phone to the laptop for editing , uploading 4k or 8k video to the cloud is not a fun experience 🤔
S21 ultra is definitely an improvement But boy o boy, the note style always appeals to me. Gonna wait for note 21 ultra to see if they do the under-display camera
7:40 is interesting. The S21 ultra camera looks very sandy. In general, I liked the innovations of the S21 camera, especially the UI. There is almost nothing I don't like except contrast. It is a very nice device. Note 21 I believe this will be an improved version. I want to own a Note device again after a long Google use. Thak you Tom.
It would be great to see a comparison between the cameras of the S21 and S21 Ultra to see how much of a difference the improved sensors make as both should have similar image processing.
You forgot to mention about the new eUFS storage on the S21 ultra. "Phones with the new eUFS 3.1 will only take about 1.5 minutes to move 100GB of data whereas UFS 3.0-based phones require more than four minutes”
Man! I'm still pretty happy with my normal S9... how would it be to have one of those? 🤔 eventhough the S21 seems to have more improvements compared to the note 20 ultra, I would still pick the note 20 ultra over the S21 just because of the S pen, sure, the S21 now supports it but it's just not the same 👍🏻.... I think it's too late to say this but hope Samsung would keep the note family 👍🏻👍🏻
For making youtube vidoes, which one you think it's better? Is it a lot different or a little tiny different 🤔 I like a bigger screen with the pen, but S21 ultra is also awesome. Can't decide yet, I'm getting one of them soon. Oh this year there is no Gen of Note 21 ultra, is that true? Thanks 😊 And my last question, if I wanna make good videos on UA-cam channel between one of these two phones and GoPro 9, which one is really really better for videos that looks more realistic?

hi Tom. great video. significant improvements in the colours in both stills and video. the note still has a hint of that radioactive Samsung green. on the s21 it's much better controlled. very promising. grass looks like grass again!
I bought my first note (Note 20 Ultra 512gb) in October and have loved it since day one. I've used it quite a lot for university and already wrote a few essays on it, as well as for photography/editing. No regrets whatsoever, except for not making the switch years ago.

I just got my mystic white Note 20 Ultra last week for $750! It's a great time to pick one up used. Definitely going to hold onto it especially since this may be the last line of the Note series and last Samsung phone to have the SD slot.
Fr that camera is a disgrace. Note20Ultra's is so refined and polished yet keeps a natural appearance. This and the lack of SD card expansion has really pushed me to debating getting the Note instead... i just really want that 888 chip though. Not sure what to do
@@eros2144 i didn't see any problems with that camera. And even if there was, the phone is still running on pre software while the Note 20 ultra has been out for months is stable. If you have any other phone apart from these two phones and you want to upgrade, the better choice the s21 ultra unless you want the spen then I would wait for the note 21 ultra. The s21 ultra is just better, better battery, better cameras ( once it's stable), better chipset, 120Hz at 1440p. Its just better.
@@kawanulukama414 honestly the only reason i still want to get the S21 Ultra is for the 888chip and faster 5G connectivity. So far battery comparisons are more or less the same despite the S21Ultra having a larger cell... but ive seen a lot of camera comparisons and S21Ultra's rendering of people just looks really bad. And like classic samsung bad. Elongated heads 😔. Note20 finally broke that trend and got on par with iPhones and i was hoping S21Ultra would follow suit with that. Again that, and no SD expansion anymore is kinda pushing me towards Note
Having been forced to sell my Pro 12 max, I'll be thinking of looking at the Note 20 Ultra, bigger internal hard drive and able to expand the memory. But a big one for me is the S Pen, I use OS Maps to plan my walks and find the S Pen a usable tool to plan a walk compared to using my finger.
I have the Note 20 Ultra... I love the phone's design and look. The SD card is a must, and so is having the s-pen included within. My phones are always in a clear case... this one is the Scooch Wingman. If the new Note whenever it comes out is tempting enough, then I will upgrade. I have the Snapdragon version.
tidy review, but the note camera seems better to me, the selfie video at the end the note was sharper. ive been debating between the 2 phones as im due an upgrade. and i think i will go with the note.
I'm trading my S9 plus for the 350 credit... And got the pre-pre order bonus of $260. I ended up getting the 256gb unlocked phantom black, with buds pro, leather case, 25w charger, and the gaming controller with 3 months xbox game pass for $981 out the door. Too good of a deal to pass up. Plus the 1% cash back lol.
The value of both devices deappreciate so fast. I just bought a used Note20 Ultra Mystic White for $750. I even pre-ordered the S21 Ultra to compare and I definitely enjoy the sleeker, wider display of the Note than the S21U
I still like the look and feel of the box corners and curved edges. Besides you have to get 256 gb version of the S21 U since there is no microSD slot and buy the SPen separately. 256gb + SPen and you’re looking at spending at least $1200.
Great video...subscribed to your channel! I just wanted to ask though if possible could you let us know where you got your Snapdragon Note from? You also dont mention price as a difference but overall I can see with a quick google search you can pick up the Note20 for £779 for the Hong Kong Snapdragon version with 256GB. Cheapest snapdragon version of the s21 ultra is £915...that's about a 15% gap in price...would you still say it was worth this gap now? Thanks for the advice!
Note 20 ultra is still better you guys are just blind regardless of that photo you took of the window. The s21 ultra camera isn't even all that better than the note 20 ultra, another thing the selfie camera was lagging on the s21 ultra when you were holding it ,and the note 20 ultra stayed very stabled. The note 20 ultra can use a sd card, in my note 20 ultra I have 1.1TB of storage. If you buy the s21 ultra it would definitely have to be the 512 GB version. The screen doesn't make that big of a difference with the qwhd, and I used both phones before side by side just never made a video on them.
@@keekwai2 possibly the most over the top comments I have read on UA-cam in a very long time. I run a tech company, employ more than 80 people. You seem rather keen to sound smart, however, you sound more like a snidey little scrote.
Great comparison 👏 I JUST TRADED MY NOTE10+ FOR THE NOTE20 ULTRA. MY WIFE HAS THE S21 ULTRA, ITS A GREAT PHONE BUT I LOVE THE NOTE FOR BEING THE NOTE. NO MATTER HOW YOU DRESS THE S21 ULTRA UP IT'S STILL NOT A NOTE. NO S PEN STORAGE IN THE PHONE. NO MEMORY CARD SLOT. IF THEY STOP MAKING THE NOTE SERIES AND PUT AN S PEN SLOT IN A S SERIES PHONE, THEN MAYBE I WOULD SWITCH, BUT THATS A BIG IF.
The problem with portrait mode it is used in the main camera and cropping into the sensor, and it should be using the three times zoom, which will look a lot more natural... Personally I use a note 10 still, And still prefer the Squarer corners of the screen, it looks miles better and far more professional looking, There is nol way it replaces the note phones, with the s pen built-in, with a proper Bluetooth pen...
I like having the option of a microSD Card slot. Additionally, i use the MST technology for payments quite a bit since several places still surprisingly don’t use NFC payments yet. Note 20 Ultra for me thought the S21 Ultra is a fine offering in its own right.
I pre-ordered the S21 ultra last week and should get it on Friday or Saturday. I really got a great trade-in deal at Best Buy but my only complaint was that the 512 gb variant was only available in black. Oh well I can't wait! Love the device!

@@shaunkeenan822 Yes, if You Buy 256 GB Version, then You can Upgrade to 512 GB for Free, Save $100 - $200 in only 3 Days (Limited Time), The Screen Protector already installed one the Smartphone so I don't have to Buy it Separately, also CashBack because Samsung Work Together with Local Bank in My Country!!! 😉😉😉
Great video! Congrats on the 1mill subs!!
Nothing can replace a Note. For Now, nothing
Are the roundness of the edges of both phones the same or is the galaxy s21 ultra lesser round?
I'm sticking with my Note 20 Ultra. I need the micro SD slot.
Youre a real one for leaving a link to the wallpaper..its the little things. SUBBED TO YOUR CHANNEL
No SD means the beginning of the end of Samsung's hold on me all the things that used to separate them from Apple are almost gone so why bother.
for real though. they use to talk so much shit on apple and now they're becoming them
I just got my mystic white Note 20 Ultra last week for $750! It's a great time to pick one up used. Definitely going to hold onto it especially since this may be the last line of the Note series and last Samsung phone to have the SD slot.
S21u looked so awesome on paper... its sad that it doesn't really meet the expectations
but im glad my Note20u is better more often than not :)))
Fr that camera is a disgrace. Note20Ultra's is so refined and polished yet keeps a natural appearance. This and the lack of SD card expansion has really pushed me to debating getting the Note instead... i just really want that 888 chip though. Not sure what to do
@@eros2144 i didn't see any problems with that camera. And even if there was, the phone is still running on pre software while the Note 20 ultra has been out for months is stable. If you have any other phone apart from these two phones and you want to upgrade, the better choice the s21 ultra unless you want the spen then I would wait for the note 21 ultra. The s21 ultra is just better, better battery, better cameras ( once it's stable), better chipset, 120Hz at 1440p. Its just better.
@@kawanulukama414 honestly the only reason i still want to get the S21 Ultra is for the 888chip and faster 5G connectivity. So far battery comparisons are more or less the same despite the S21Ultra having a larger cell...
but ive seen a lot of camera comparisons and S21Ultra's rendering of people just looks really bad. And like classic samsung bad. Elongated heads 😔. Note20 finally broke that trend and got on par with iPhones and i was hoping S21Ultra would follow suit with that. Again that, and no SD expansion anymore is kinda pushing me towards Note
Having been forced to sell my Pro 12 max, I'll be thinking of looking at the Note 20 Ultra, bigger internal hard drive and able to expand the memory. But a big one for me is the S Pen, I use OS Maps to plan my walks and find the S Pen a usable tool to plan a walk compared to using my finger.
He was gonna say 4k porn @2:40.
I have the Note 20 Ultra... I love the phone's design and look. The SD card is a must, and so is having the s-pen included within. My phones are always in a clear case... this one is the Scooch Wingman. If the new Note whenever it comes out is tempting enough, then I will upgrade. I have the Snapdragon version.
I feel so happy when u upload a new video you’re amazing god bless
tidy review, but the note camera seems better to me, the selfie video at the end the note was sharper. ive been debating between the 2 phones as im due an upgrade. and i think i will go with the note.
Why everyone bother about night time photos when 90% photo are taken in good and mediocre lighting
WHY? Pedantic wankerism. Simple as that.
Great video! Exactly the I've been waiting for! I really like your content! Congrats on 1M subscribers!
I'll go with the 21 Ultra for its rounded corners and the versatility of the cameras
And also better battery life
I got S21 Ultra, but I dont like it much even if you compare with my ex Note 10.....something wrong with s21 shape, its more narrow....
Im actually considering of buying s21 ultra. However my s8plus still works.
Me too, except I have the regular S8 which is still going strong! Tempting though, and much more so than the 20.
Am rocking the S7edge still and its surprisingly good.
I'm trading my S9 plus for the 350 credit... And got the pre-pre order bonus of $260. I ended up getting the 256gb unlocked phantom black, with buds pro, leather case, 25w charger, and the gaming controller with 3 months xbox game pass for $981 out the door. Too good of a deal to pass up. Plus the 1% cash back lol.
@@carloscardenas9660
That is a seriously good deal
I wish my region had deals like that
My S8+ is going strong too and I think s21 Ultra is a good upgrade
The value of both devices deappreciate so fast. I just bought a used Note20 Ultra Mystic White for $750. I even pre-ordered the S21 Ultra to compare and I definitely enjoy the sleeker, wider display of the Note than the S21U
NOTE 20 ULTRA ESPECIALLY SD VERSION. S21U DOWNGRADE IN MEMORY, DESIGN AND SPEN PORTABILITY.
Congratulations on 1,000,000 subscribers! Well deserved.
Cheers James!
I miss the days when the S phones were lightweight but feature-packed. 😔 Now its as thick and heavy as a Note.
I still like the look and feel of the box corners and curved edges. Besides you have to get 256 gb version of the S21 U since there is no microSD slot and buy the SPen separately. 256gb + SPen and you’re looking at spending at least $1200.
I'll stick with Note 20 ultra.
Great video...subscribed to your channel!
I just wanted to ask though if possible could you let us know where you got your Snapdragon Note from?
You also dont mention price as a difference but overall I can see with a quick google search you can pick up the Note20 for £779 for the Hong Kong Snapdragon version with 256GB. Cheapest snapdragon version of the s21 ultra is £915...that's about a 15% gap in price...would you still say it was worth this gap now?
Thanks for the advice!
The porn joke made me subscribe lol UA-camrs should be themselves and the subs will come naturally.
Note 20 ultra is still better you guys are just blind regardless of that photo you took of the window. The s21 ultra camera isn't even all that better than the note 20 ultra, another thing the selfie camera was lagging on the s21 ultra when you were holding it ,and the note 20 ultra stayed very stabled. The note 20 ultra can use a sd card, in my note 20 ultra I have 1.1TB of storage. If you buy the s21 ultra it would definitely have to be the 512 GB version. The screen doesn't make that big of a difference with the qwhd, and I used both phones before side by side just never made a video on them.
i was waiting fr this review
Great comparison Tom. Congrats on the 1m subs!!
When it comes to Samsung it is better to buy them in a year since price drop for their phones is significant.
Not true
WOW! Didn't notice you reached 1M subs. Congrats man!!
@Heinz K. What rubbish!
@@apatidar32 ikr
Personally, I cannot imagine needing more memory on these phones, what an earth are people saving? I have a laptop and cloud memory for large files!
You need more imagination AND objectivity. Laptop ownership is WAY behind smartphone ownership. Have you been under a rock for the past 20 years?
@@keekwai2 possibly the most over the top comments I have read on UA-cam in a very long time.
I run a tech company, employ more than 80 people.
You seem rather keen to sound smart, however, you sound more like a snidey little scrote.
Sure, the S21 doesn't support internal SD expansion, but you can use any external storage device using C cable. I'm using my 2 terabytes portable HD.
The truth is jesus christ our lord and savior

Amen.. Praise his holy name
Congrats......1M subscribers. It will grow further more.
Liverpool lost again 🤣
5:47 look at the background, the sensors are so big that you can see blurred background even without portrait mode
What camera do you use for this recording ? Looks great! 🎥
Thanks. A7siii. Still getting to grips with it though!
Great comparison 👏 I JUST TRADED MY NOTE10+ FOR THE NOTE20 ULTRA. MY WIFE HAS THE S21 ULTRA, ITS A GREAT PHONE BUT I LOVE THE NOTE FOR BEING THE NOTE. NO MATTER HOW YOU DRESS THE S21 ULTRA UP IT'S STILL NOT A NOTE. NO S PEN STORAGE IN THE PHONE. NO MEMORY CARD SLOT. IF THEY STOP MAKING THE NOTE SERIES AND PUT AN S PEN SLOT IN A S SERIES PHONE, THEN MAYBE I WOULD SWITCH, BUT THATS A BIG IF.
The problem with portrait mode it is used in the main camera and cropping into the sensor, and it should be using the three times zoom, which will look a lot more natural... Personally I use a note 10 still, And still prefer the Squarer corners of the screen, it looks miles better and far more professional looking,
There is nol way it replaces the note phones, with the s pen built-in, with a proper Bluetooth pen...
Congrats on hitting 1m mate. Well deserved 👊
I like having the option of a microSD Card slot. Additionally, i use the MST technology for payments quite a bit since several places still surprisingly don’t use NFC payments yet. Note 20 Ultra for me thought the S21 Ultra is a fine offering in its own right.
I pre-ordered the S21 ultra last week and should get it on Friday or Saturday. I really got a great trade-in deal at Best Buy but my only complaint was that the 512 gb variant was only available in black. Oh well I can't wait! Love the device!
But my Note 20Ultra is only 5 months young🙄
Still loving it...so sticking with it❣🥰
S21 Ultra is great also 😬
Choices....choises 😅
New subscriber. Good job Tom. After recognizing the scenery in your video, and hearing your accent, i did some minimal digging to find out we went to the same high school. Congrats with hitting 1 million subscribers. 👌
Cheers Justin! Haha... In street?
