About Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G

The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G presents a striking 6.81‑inch color AM‑OLED screen that delivers a sharp 1440 by 3200 pixel resolution, offering vivid colors and deep contrast for media and everyday use. Its sleek form measures 75.6 mm wide, 165.1 mm tall and 8.9 mm thick, with a weight of 227 grams, making it a substantial yet manageable flagship that fits comfortably in the hand despite its large display.

Inside, the phone runs Google Android 11 and is equipped with 16 GiB of RAM, providing ample memory for multitasking and demanding applications. Power comes from a 5000 mAh battery that supports wired charging at up to 15 watts, while a single SIM slot keeps connectivity straightforward. These core specifications define the device’s performance and endurance without venturing into unconfirmed territory.

This variant

This variant steps down from the base model’s 16 GiB of RAM to 12 GiB, while offering 128 GB of internal storage—a capacity not detailed in the base description. It is tailored for the US market, carrying the Verizon‑specific SM‑G998V model number and supporting UW TD‑LTE bands.

Compared with other Galaxy S21 Ultra versions, this US‑locked model keeps a single SIM slot where many alternatives provide dual SIM capability, and it pairs its 12 GiB RAM with the lower 128 GB storage option rather than the 256 GB or 512 GB configurations found elsewhere. Its UW TD‑LTE support and Verizon branding further set it apart from the international and carrier‑specific siblings listed.
