The S21 Ultra has a beast of a camera but I wanted to see if it could handle long durations of filming out doors. While vlogging it is common to record several videos at a time within a single hour or even record long 15 minute durations clips. While I was at it, I tried out the phone's Director's view which allows both the front and rear facing camera to record simultaneously. Being able to move around the pip and flipping the rear and front facing camera at will during recording was really cool. 

My biggest problem however was that the phone began to overheat only after an hour of continued video use. I had to wait 5 minutes at a time before I could use the camera again. The unpredictable nature of how much time you have left before the camera could be used again is a nightmare situation for a photographer or vlogger. It doesn't matter how much battery or memory space the phone has left, when the phone overheats, the camera must shut down in order protect itself from permanent damage. 

I use the European version of the S21 Ultra which uses the Samsung Exynos chip. The American version of the phone using the Snapdragon processor might work better for continued video usage however I would seriously caution anyone who wants to buy the S21 Ultra as a workhorse camera.

The battery life of the phone however was surprisingly good. I left the house at 95% and got back 4 hours later with 65%. Due to the heavy usage of the camera, I find that acceptable.

Hardware Sugar is a boutique computer store in Makati. We focus on having cool parts for cool people. Since we’re always playing around with tech in the shop we decided why not film some of the components we have.So that led to unboxings, reviews and just general tips on building,maintaining a computer. Occasionally that also means dipping into cellphone reviews, investment options, car reviews, vlogs on how it’s like to run a PC shop. We don’t know everything but we try to share what we do know in a way which is easy to understand for PC newbies.

FYI on the product: The brand lent us this item for review. The brand had no say in the editorial content of this video.
