DxOMark has finished its camera review of the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra (using an Exynos-powered unit) and the results are not good – the overall score is just 121. Not only is that low, but it’s less than the 126 points awarded to the Galaxy S20 Ultra from a year ago. Note: the S20 Ultra was retested with Version 4 of the review process, so the scores should be comparable.
Let’s look at the breakdown. The 2021 model received 128 points for photography, 76 for zoom and 98 for video. The older phone matched the 128 photo score, but is ahead in the zoom (88) and video (106) categories.
What went wrong? Well, in the zoom test the ultra wide camera did well, the problem was on the other end – the two telephoto modules failed to live up to expectations. The S21 Ultra is barely a point ahead of the vanilla Note20 in the overall score and a couple of points ahead on zoom.
In DxOMark’s estimation, that 10x periscope and additional mid-range zoom module aren’t worth much compared to the original zoom setup on the S21 Ultra. As for the vanilla Note20, that had only the 64 MP module with up to 3x digital zoom.
Moving on to the video score, it is on par with the affordable Pixel 4a (98), though only the 4K/60 fps mode was tested (8K and 4K/30 fps were not tested). Video stabilization in particular was an issue (and why 8K was not tested).
