Samsung S21 ultra has the most impressive camera system in a 2021 flagship. The phone was announced on 14 January 2021 with the Snapdragon 888 SoC or Exynos 2100 depending on your location. The phones camera specs and looks is mesmerizing.

The camera system consists of the new 108 megapixel HM3 sensor as the primary camera, a 12megapixel ultrawide lens with 120 degree FoV, a 10megapixel 3X telephoto lens for shorter range zoom and a 10 megapixel 10X optical zoom camera for zooming in on farther subjects(or spying). Both the telephoto lenses has a 130percent larger pixel size than last year and the 100X space zoom quality also has a big increase. The phone has a zoom lock feature which locks the frame when you zoom longer to reduce blurry pictures. 

Those 2 ten megapixel 1.22um sensors are the best in its class. They have a large aperture to let in more light for better night time photos and support 2PD for better focusing.  While other cameras have to refract light 5 times to enable such a zoom range, the S21 ultra need to only do this twice thus increasing the quality of the photo as light detail loss to very low. The ultrawide lens has dual pixel autofocus which allows for macro shots like the ones from OnePlus flagships. The phone automatically switches to the ultrawide lens when it detects the subject is within 5-40cm range for incredible close up shots. 

Video recording capabilities are 8k at 24 fps, 4k at 30/60 fps, 1080p at 30/60 and for the first time in a Samsung smartphone, 4K 60fps video is available from every lens. The ultra has a directors mode which shows previews from all the rear lenses except from the 10X tele lens for smoother switching between lenses and to select the perfect lens for the perfect shot. 

There is also a vlogger mode which allows video recording from the rear lenses and front camera at the same time. Samsung has added a laser autofocus for faster focusing and this solves the major problem the S20 ultra had with focus hunting. All this combined makes the S21 ultra a powerful and versatile camera system in a smartphone and the most enhanced one of 2021.

Apple Airpods Max vs Sony wh1000-xm4

When it comes to over-hear noise cancelling headphones, Sony leaded the industry with their wh1000 series. And now, the competition just got more stiffer as Apple introduced the Airpods Max. The latest and greatest noise cancelling king the wh1000-xm4 costs $350, but can be available for around $300, but Apple just dropped the Airpods Max with a price tag of $550, which got people thinking about it. Lets compare them to see that if Sony will remain the king or does Apple take the crown? Apple AirPods Max takes it from Sony in terms of build quality. Apple uses high quality stainless steel for the body, aluminum for the earcups and memory foam for the headband. They are superior materials in every way compared to plastic used in Sony. But dont take it wrong, the xm4 is also really built well and is really comfortable to use. In terms of sound quality Apple uses custom built 40mm drivers and they sound extremely good. The H1 chip inside both earcups provide computational audio with adapt

Qualcomm and Google announced their collaboration to simplify and bring 4 years of Android updates to smartphones powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon processors. Under Project Treble devices running on Snapdragon chipsets (from SD888 onwards) will receive security updates and new android versions for the next four years.  Project Treble will enable OEMs to upgrade their devices to the latest Android versions without worrying about Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset specific software. This is a huge leap in terms of android updates which is not always guaranteed in the Android world. OnePlus provides android updates to their devices for 3 years and recently Samsung also started providing 3 years of updates for their flagship devices. This will be divert some Apple customers into Android space because from the coming year Android smartphones with Snapdragon chipsets will be getting long term software support just like iPhones and increase the longevity of Android smartphones from 1-2 years to 4+ wit

                                                                        Credit: Getty images for Samsung Samsung received a lot of hate due to the performance disparity between last year's Exynos 990 and the Snapdragon 865 which were used in Samsung flagships. The Exynos not only lacked performance in CPU and GPU department, but also was not power efficient and had thermal issues compared to the Snapdragon 865. Even the Snapdragon model clicked better pictures due to its better Image Signal Processor (ISP). Samsung has listened to our complaints last year and has introduced the new Exynos 2100 this year in their S21 series. The chip has the same cores and core configuration as the Snapdragon 888, but all the cores are clocked at higher frequencies than the 888. They are using the latest Mali G78 GPU from ARM for graphics processing. In an in-depth testing of both the Snapdragon and Exynos models of the S21 ultra by Gary from SpeedTestG , the results were quite interesting. The Exyn
