Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is the ultimate smartphone built for users who demand top-of-the-line technology to stay connected with the people and things that matter most.

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S21 Ultra on January 14, and the release date set for Friday, January 29, 2021. Pre-orders for the handset are now live in the US and the UK.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra price is high, even more than the iPhone 12 Pro Max, It’s expensive to buy the S21 Ultra for most consumers, especially when compared to the cheaper-than-expected Samsung Galaxy S21.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra price starts at $1,199 / £1,149 for a version with 128GB of storage and 12GB of RAM.

If you want the most powerful phone in Samsung’s Galaxy S21 series, the Galaxy S21 Ultra is for you. It comes with the largest display at 6.8-inches, the biggest battery at 5,000mAh, and the best camera setup with a primary 108MP sensor. It also comes with as much as 16GB of RAM. However, it’s also the most expensive with a starting price of $1,199.

The Galaxy S21 Plus is the middle child. It features a slightly smaller 6.7-inch display and a 4,800mAh battery. It has three rear cameras instead of five and only 8GB of RAM. However, because you’re losing out on some of those high-end features, the entry-level price comes down significantly to $999.

If you don’t need the latest-and-greatest silicon, there are still plenty of 2020 phones that will offer tons of processing power, good battery life, great cameras for your day-to-day use.

The Cybertruct is certainly designed to stand out on the road. Looking little like it was dropped off by an alien spaceship when I look at the design of the Cybertruck, it reminds me of the car in the Back to the Future Movies or the pickup trucks in the Helo Video game.

What do you think of the Cybertruck’s design?

Does the Cybertruck have the capabilities to challenge all of the top-selling like Honda Ridgeline, Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, Jeep Gladiator, Ford Ranger, Ram 1500, Ford F-150, Ford F-150 Raptor, Ram 2500 / 3500, Ford Super Duty?

What we do know is that the Cybertruck has a sharp-edged exterior that is made of scratch and dent-resistant stainless steel, Tesla’s all-electric truck is seriously tough, with a standard all-wheel drive, the Cybertruck can tow up to 14,000 pounds and has an estimated driving range of 500-plus miles. While that applies only to the most expensive model, the cheapest one starts at $39,900. Of course, there’s still a lot we don’t know about the Cybertruck, including when it will officially go on sale. But right now, it looks as if the first versions will go into production in late 2021.

Although the Cybertruck has been at the center of many jokes in recent days, brands including Lego and Pepsi have taken to Twitter to mock Tesla’s Cybertruck,

But not everyone had negative things to say about it. Several prominent figures in the technology industry, including executives from Twitter and Facebook, have come forward with compliments about Tesla’s first pickup truck.
