For all you TikTokers, vloggers, influencers and artists out there, we’ve found a phone that is sure to make you go “viral.” Introducing the content creator’s best friend, the S21 Ultra. It’s bigger and badder than ever and here for all your content needs. But what is so content-y about this phone in particular? Glad you asked. Here is a pretty comprehensive list of why this phone needs to be in your eager artist hands asap.

The cameras

Right, so this phone has some fairly exceptional lenses. Yeah, that’s right lenses, more than one. In fact, it’s got five, the 108MP camera, two 10MP telephoto cameras, a 12MP ultra-wide camera and the front-facing camera (because, selfie). And let us tell you, they take a clear picture. Very clear. Perfect for those hot new dance moves you’re going to debut on TikTok (too much camera jargon? Read more about everything camera lens here).

The Zoom

Zoom, zoom, zoom. Have you got some in-the-distance animals or very small insects to shoot? Well, well, well, let us present to you the best zoom you’ve ever had (on a phone), the S21’s 100x zoom. Now with the addition of the Tripod Lock feature, which stops the viewfinder from moving, your pictures of ants will come out looking as clear as A Bug’s Life (taken some pictures of a weird looking bug and want to know what it is? Read more about Spider Shazam here).

Directors View and Single Take Mode

These are a couple of nice-to-haves that will take your content game from noob to pro. Single Take mode, allows you to capture videos and photos all at once utilising all cameras from a short video sequence. Super handy if you’ve got some rogue toddlers unable to sit for a photo. Director’s mode utilises both the front and back lens, so you can take videos of what you’re looking at and your own face.

The 8K video

Got some pretty mountains to shoot? Or perhaps your garden is looking ace and need to shoot some close-up video to prove it? The S21 Ultra records in 8K at 24 frames per second, so, that’s some super clear mountains. And let’s be honest if you’ve shot some stunning 8K video or someone else has and you want to watch it to its fullest, S21 Ultra with it’s beautiful screen and 8K viewing can do that for you.

The S Pen

Pretty self-explanatory, but hey let’s go through it anyway. The S21 Ultra is S Pen enabled, making it an excellent little companion for some digital painting or drawing. So, say you’re travelling on the train and you spot a very drawable looking man riding opposite you. Instead of getting out your old “analogue” pencils and paper, simply get your Ultra out of your pocket and go to town. If you’ve shot some fully sick footage of your roller skating and can’t wait to edit the footage on a computer, good news you can use the pen to edit your video in 12 Bit Raw. Way easier than using your fingers. Anyway, you can read all about these delightful little pens here.

Here's a little teaser/ review video of the camera and other awesome features for your viewing pleasure:

So, there you have it. The S21 Ultra is truly the phone of phones, the crème de la crème of content mobiles. If you’re still not convinced about the S21 Ultra, even after reading our delightful little spiel, check out what the pros are saying about it (here’s a hint: it’s good).
