Choosing to upgrade from the Galaxy S10 Plus to the Galaxy S21 Ultra means skipping a generation, the Galaxy S20 lineup. This upgrade path means you will see a significant increase in overall performance, and you will also pick up several key features such as 5G network connectivity and support for the S Pen, which was a feature that was previously limited to the Galaxy Note lineup. The added performance comes by way of the 8-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor that powers the Galaxy S21 Ultra. Other features of the S21 Ultra include a 6.8-inch Quad HD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2x display, 8GB or 12GB of RAM, 128GB, 256GB, or 512GB of internal storage, and a 5000 mAh battery with support for 25W wired charging, 15W wireless charging and 4.5W reverse wireless charging that allows you to wirelessly charge other devices. The camera setup on the Galaxy S21 Ultra includes a 108MP wide, 12MP ultra-wide, 10MP telephoto, and 10MP periscope zoom on the back with a 40MP selfie camera on the front.
