      If you mean ‘four on the back and one on the front?’ Than yes.

      @Stephen Atwood aren’t there 2 next to the flash or is that the macro camera?

      sad story for you guys, I have a whole bunch of chargers around 💀

    $1200. Expensive when there’s not a pandemic. Totally agree.

    $1,200 bones and no expandable storage, no charger and no pen??? Tf! Just get a Note 20 Ultra.

    • Iboy Dafreshest

      January 14, 2021 at 7:18 pm

      But Apple does the exact same thing just without the 120hz refresh rate and including the pen in the phone would make the Note totally irrelevant

    The lack of headphone jacks on phones makes me sad

    This makes the several months’ old Google Pixel 5 even more anticlimactic and disappointing. Can we assume that Google is no longer in the premium or ultrapremium phone business? I’m wondering if and when I finally replace my Pixel 3XL, I’ll leave Google and return to Samsung.

    Remember it also lost its micro SD card support i guess saved money.

  12. Scott Dabson

    I ordered the Ultra. I think Samsung needed more price separation between The S series and the foldable’s. Just a theory.

  13. Daniel Olayinka

    January 14, 2021 at 8:41 pm

    Call me crazy
    But the phantom black s21 ultra is one of the most beautiful s-series smartphone
    More beautiful than the note 20 ultra

  14. Daniel Olayinka

    January 14, 2021 at 8:47 pm

    Guys
    Dont you watch the event?
    Dont you hear about the S-pen pro
    That will support air gesture and other stuff
    Gosh🤦‍♂️

      s pen pro 🤦🏾‍♂️ I’m just buying a note 20 ultra s pen.

    chunk of the price reduction is due to SD 888 having built in 5G instead of putting an external modem with SD875

    not fan boying but they give you soo much free credit when you purchase i just got 2 wireless charging trios which come with wall chargers and 2 cases for free and $550 in trade in for my s10 so not bad at all

    The Verge and CNET post on a global platform but don’t seem to know the world is bigger than the USA. Most people will get Exynos processors, not Snapdragon.

    No memory card slot and no headphones and charger in the box. Are we talking about Apple or Samsung? $200 off. Should be more….

    No SD card slot? No thanks. You had a great product and ruined it with that

    Rip to everyone who bought the s20 ultra for 1400 bucks. This phone is a huge leap forward for 200 bucks less. If there’s no included charger, maybe I’ll end up buying the 45watt charger instead if it’s compatible

    No innovation anymore. Been a Samsung fan for ages but just camera after camera upgrade. Plus to expensive for what it is.

    • Aldwin Paguirigan

      January 15, 2021 at 4:42 am

      Refinement is not a bad thing.
      Don’t worry, There’s a lot of things to anticipate from Samsung.

      Under Display Camera
      Graphene Battery
      Exynos and AMD Chipset (if you’re outside the US)

    • Frank Reynolds

      January 15, 2021 at 5:10 am

      There isnt much to innovate. If you want innovation, look at foldable phone.

    Apple: we have 2,000,000:1 screen ratio.

    Samsung: that’s all you have 😂

    • Sudipto Kumar

      Samsung : and we making those 😂

      January 18, 2021 at 1:42 am

      Apple we have if you have no stock, or steak in Apple, you don’t have anything. You’re pretty much just a consumer and or Apple, fan.

    Removing the charger from a Samsung phone makes sense as you can use any third-party charger or your older charger !

  29. Anthony

    January 15, 2021 at 10:08 am

    Oooh they took off 200 dollars congratulations🤩🙌🙌🙌👍🏽 the most expensive iPhone STILL cost less so good luck with that 😂

    Spen support is great especially if you have a Galaxy tab S anyway around the house.

    im still waiting for review…this phone cost same as Iphone 12 pro max…but im torn between them

  33. Alberto Mercado

    January 15, 2021 at 4:10 pm

    No charger, no headphones, no expansion memory slot… mmhhh. Recording at 8K: ~600MB per minute; Shooting phots at 108 mega-pixel: ~20MB per photo. Do the math on how long until you consume the base storage (plus apps and games you may have installed).

    In Europe the s21 ultra is the same price as the iphone 12 pro

      Easy choice, iPhone 12 Pro

    You guys belong to Apple. This Samsung is advanced device. Not for you to comment. Wait for iPhone 13 !

  38. chikpom

    January 15, 2021 at 8:30 pm

    You totally missed out that it has 120hz refresh rate at QHD+ resolution. The LTPO screen will adjust refresh rate from 1hz to 120hz based on the output task. It’s a totally different screen.

    Car sold separately? No deal!

  40. Striker 50

    HATE that they removed the SD slot. They force you to spend $200 to get more memory. You could have bought a memory card for $20 which is no longer an option. Also don’t include their $50 power brick which many of us don’t have

  41. Elbert Lee

    this camera bump is ugly 😑 guess having a cover would help..

  44. Friend O

    Another trade-off it does not have SD card support it’s the note 5 s6 all over again

    The generation, S21series, they have removed the MicroSD card expansion.

    They will add it back next year generation S22 series to hold the title of “WE LISTENED TO OUR CUSTOMERS ”

    Doesn’t “hands-on” mean you actually get your hands on the device. Looks like I’ll get mine that I pre-ordered before you get yours… Loses SD card, MST and charger

    I could see Huawei do like something crazy like a 20x optical zoom. In the next few years

    Smh You can tell he’s an iPhone fan boy. He’s so used to not mentioning SD card slots that he forgets to point out the lack of one in this new phone which is a HUGE deal breaker.

  50. William Hoffmann

    January 18, 2021 at 3:29 pm

    Definitely looking forward to checking out that new screen and improved zoom shots!

  51. Jesse023

    January 18, 2021 at 5:51 pm

    My S10+ came with a CHARGER & Cable, sd slot, akg headphones, headphone jack…. and it works great. Go buy a good camera. This Better chip and refresh rate bs is a waste of money to call people and use social media.

    Buy this crap over Note20 Ultra? Are you serious?

  53. Zaid Adel

    January 19, 2021 at 2:26 pm

    It’s much better form iPhone 12 max and more cheap from IPhone 12 max and people still never say anything about The overpriced iPhone 12 The give nothing new
