Paired with Samsung’s new Galaxy Buds Pro, you can capture both ambient sounds and your voice at the same time using multiple mic recording. That means you can set up Galaxy S21 5G in Pro Video Mode on a tripod and use Buds Pro as your voice mic, so you can step away and record speech, movement and background sound in crisp quality. With the power of AI, the popular Single Take feature allows you to capture a variety of still and video formats with one tap. It has been enhanced with new pro-style video settings like Highlight Video and Dynamic Slow-Mo, which lets you focus on the most compelling action in stunning stills and highlight reels.

The camera system intuitively assesses and adjusts to your scene to ensure you can perfectly capture any environment.  In Portrait Mode, the AI-powered camera leverages an improved 3D analysis that more accurately separates the subject from the background. It also brings in options for virtual studio lighting and AI background effects to make sure the subject pops from the frame. It also works for selfies too. For elusive faraway shots, improved Space Zoom helps you get clear and steady shots. The new Zoom Lock minimises shaky hands and captures clearer images at 30x zoom on Galaxy S21 5G and Galaxy S21+ 5G, by leveraging AI to keep your focal point in the centre of the frame. Plus, enhanced processing power means bright pictures, even in the dark, so you can do proper justice to gorgeous sunsets and skylines.

It’s built for users who demand top-of-the-line technology to stay connected with the people and things that matter most. Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G joins the new Galaxy S Series of devices and takes every part of that S21 experience to the next level.

Incredible Innovation Housed in Unexpected Design

Galaxy S21 Series unveils a bold new style that sets it apart from other smartphones.

With the UWB-enabled Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G and Galaxy S21+ 5G, you can also use AR finder to visually guide you to lost items with SmartThings Find and drop virtual messages that let other Galaxy smartphone users know you need help searching for a lost item.
