Anyone can let me know how is camera on the S21 Ultra? Debating between the S21 Ultra and the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Camera is my main thing.
Thanks

Ugh! I did not want to read this. I have the S10+ and it's fingerprint sensor is the worst I've ever experienced. Absolutely pathetic. My 2016 Axon 7's sensor was pretty much 99% reliable. I've tried just about every trick I could find in forums to make it more effective including no screen protector. On the positive side - not a scratch on its' glass.

I record video for TikTok right now using the front camera on a note 9, and a shure lav mic. The end result is inconsistent at best. #1. Would this camera provide a vast improvement? #2 is the built in mic at least close to as good as my shure mic? #3. If not, do the 3mm to usb c adapters work well enough?
Thank you.
Thank you.

It lags when scrolling the default News tab... Other tabs r smooth

Here's some instructions from XDA that I followed for my own Canadian S21 Ultra. If you need 5G, flash HOME_CSC in Odin as mentioned later on in that thread by other Canadian users.addicted2it wrote: ↑ Is there a way for us to get One UI 4 on Canadian S21Us?

Did anyone get their official upgrade? I got mine while I was travelling out of Canada. Mine is a US unlocked version, S21 Ultra. eSim is showing up now but unable to test yet.

I'm looking to get a new phone in the next couple of weeks and had my eye on the S21 Ultra. I'm as okay as one can be with paying the hefty price tag for it, but is a newer model just around the corner? I want one with more storage and they seem to be sold out everywhere so I'd have to order it and it'd take 4-6 weeks to arrive.

If you're still updating, it looks like the new update does add eSim capability. I don't have one to test but in Settings->Connections, there's a new Sim card Manager option where you can add eSims by scanning in a QR code.
