Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is a mobile phone, especially in terms of cameras. However, in terms of slow-motion video recording, the device seems to be inferior to the cheaper Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21+, because it cannot record 960fps video natively.
Although all three Galaxy S21 series smartphones can record slow-motion video at 960fps, the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21+ can record natively, while the Galaxy S21 Ultra ‘digitally enhances’ 480fps video to 960fps slow-motion video.
That is, repeated frames are used. Therefore, 960fps slow-motion video recorded including Galaxy S21 Ultra will not be as good as the video recorded with Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21+.
Samsung has clarified that the shortcomings of the Galaxy S21 Ultra are due to the larger ISOCELL HM3 108MP camera sensor, which has a slower shutter speed than the 12-megapixel sensor used in the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21+. Samsung took the same route on the Galaxy S20 Ultra last year, enhancing 480fps video to 960fps.
It is not clear whether many people will use the super slow-motion video recording function on their smartphones, but if you use the function frequently, you should understand these differences when purchasing.
