Ive had the S21 Ultra since it released. I love it so much, and the camera quality is my absolute favorite part about it.
That being said, Ive had it for ~2 years, and I simply dont care to have what feels like a heavy brick in my pocket all the time. I even have grown tired of how large the screen is, sure its great for youtube, but I just value less of a physical burden than having the biggest Ultra+ phone now.
Is there any new Samsung that has an equivalent or even better camera than the S21 Ultra, but smaller and lighter?
TIA
The bigger battery, the telescoping 10x telephoto, all that takes space and weights a lot. You will not find a lighter smartphone with a comparable camera system.
There are rumors that the S24U will only have a 5x telephoto lens instead of the 10x. Maybe it will weight less, but probably not much. Besides that, the S23 and S23+ have a good camera system and are significantly lighter, but no 10x telephoto and the main camera is 50 megapixel (which is more than enough). Low light performance has also been improved since the S21 series.
That all makes sense. Thanks!
