The S21 Ultra is the successor of the S20 Ultra, which in spite of the immense promise, stumbled because of a few issues and bugs. With dual telephoto sensors and a massive 108-megapixel main sensor, the S21 Ultra adds a new dimension to photography on phones. Yeah, it's expensive, but there ain't anything like it.
