[Samsung's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galaxy-s23-ultra) smartphone division has well and truly taken 2021 by storm with the release of its latest and greatest flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S21 Ultra, a smartphone that features a spectacular range of performance, photography and convenience features.

Considered the most high-end offering of the new Galaxy S range, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra's more eyecatching feature is the inclusion of support for the [S Pen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galaxy-tab) stylus, which allows for versatility in the way users engage with their phone screen.

However, there are impressive performance specs well beyond the stylus, such as the option of a monstrous 16GB of RAM, up to 512 GB of internal storage space and a battery capacity of 5,000 mAh.

With the pinnacle version going for $1,199, this flagship smartphone is for those who don't want to compromise on any features on their device.
