For me, choosing the largest and most top-end model in every Galaxy S lineup has been a no-brainer ever since Samsung got rid of the one-size-fits-all philosophy for its mainstream flagships (which was with the Galaxy S6 series back in 2015). That’s because having the largest screen and battery capacity possible has always been important for me, and since last year, choosing the top-end model has also meant having access to groundbreaking zoom capabilities.
This year was no different: The Galaxy S21 Ultra instantly became my favorite when Samsung announced the Galaxy S21 series in late January, especially since it’s the only model among the three S21 devices that actually offers you meaningful upgrades over last year’s Galaxy S20 smartphones. However, after using both the Galaxy S21 Ultra and the Galaxy S21+ in recent months, I have realized that I like using the Galaxy S21+ more, and I’m not really sure why.
