Galaxy S8 Active vs Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G

Upgrading from a Samsung Galaxy S8 Active to a Galaxy S21 Ultra would result in a large performance boost in almost all aspects of the phone. The Galaxy S8 Active was designed for durability and has a rugged body with an IP68 rating and MIL-STD-810G certification. The IP68 rating carries over to the Galaxy S21 Ultra, but you will be parting with the military-grade certification which means you may consider using a rugged case. But otherwise, upgrading to the Galaxy S21 Ultra would give you a more modern smartphone experience with features such as 5G connectivity, a 6.8-inch (3200 x 1440) display, Snapdragon 888 processor, up to 12GB of RAM, up to 512GB of internal storage, a 5000 mAh battery, 40MP front-facing camera, and a rear-camera array that includes a 108MP wide-angle lens, 12MP ultrawide, 10MP telephoto, and a 10MP periscope zoom.
