Returning the Galaxy S21 Ultra
To start: I've been highly anticipating this phone. I've had two Google Pixel 3 XLs that my SO and I have been using since release day. Probably one of the best overall phones I've owned, first phone to make it past the two year mark before attempting replacement. I've had cell phones since 1996 mind you (I was in high school at the time and lucky enough to have a job in web development / system administration and I was on-call for the company I was employed by, but I digress). Anyway...

r/Android - Returning the Galaxy S21 Ultra
11 votes and 45 comments so far on Reddit
I have received my order of Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra - AMA
Well what can I say as much as I love my device it is time to upgrade and move on. I preordered my S9+ and had it since March 2018 just like I did the S21 Ultra today. Samsung is giving me $350 for it and I paid 750ish back then so I think this is a good value from a 3 year old device. I was debating for a few weeks but in the ended I decided that the things I like and dislike in S9+ and what makes S21 superior are worth it

Unacceptable to you on a phone to you
I can't be alone in finding that there some minor things on a phone that drive me nuts but to most people are completely irrelevant.
Mine is ugly unchangeable fonts. I downloaded the OnePlus 7T Android 11 beta just to get the new 'Helvetica' style font it comes with as I hated the Slate and Roboto standard font choices.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra | System ROM takes up 24GB of space (128GB Model)
This stock system ROM is about 4-5 times larger than your average debloated ROM. I was quite surprised to see I've already used a quarter of space by merely downloading two larger games and saving my music library to my device.
Screenshot of system storage
This is the first device in some time that does NOT include a slot for an microSD card/expanded internal storage....

S21 Ultra Arrived a day early (UK)
Coming from a Pixel 5 (and before that a P2XL), I am not loving what Samsung do in terms of UI. Already installed lawnchair.
The zoom lenses seem great, but the pictures are coming out with a more bluish hue than I am used to with the pixel. Hoping to get out and compare camera's a bit this weekend.
Let me know if you have any questions....
