Samsung’s Galaxy S21 Ultra represents the pinnacle of what the company can offer in a phone, with its powerful processor, massive vibrant screen and 5G connectivity. But it’s the camera setup I’m particularly interested in, and it’s here that the S21 Ultra pushes the boat out. There are four lenses on the back: a standard zoom, an ultrawide lens, a 3x optical zoom and a 10x optical zoom.
