The organizers of the Mobile World Congress present awards every year to celebrate the best solutions and products in the world of the mobile industry.
This year, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra won the Best Smartphone category. In addition, experts concluded that Samsung has never created anything better.
The strengths of the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra are high performance, a professional camera, an excellent display and a stylish appearance. It was also the first Galaxy S line to offer S Pen support. Among the best smartphones of 2021 are models such as Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, OnePlus 9 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max.
In general, the Galaxy S21 series was without breakthroughs, it is a calm development, but still the Ultra version received a number of interesting features. In addition to the already mentioned electronic pen support, it offered a camera with a record optical zoom and Wi-Fi 6e support.
The smartphone is "packed" with modern technologies, but still the lack of a memory card slot and a 3,5 mm headphone jack, the controversial Exynos 2100 for a number of regions, a reduced configuration and a high price do not allow us to say that the Galaxy S21 Ultra is an uncompromising flagship.
