How Bad is S21+ RAM Management? Galaxy S21 Ultra vs S21+ Speed Test! By Gadgets Portal

This year's galaxy s21 ultra and the s21 plus have the price difference of 200 dollars, which is definitely worth it. You are getting a better and more versatile camera array. More ram, much higher resolution display s21 ultra feels more solid and premium in hand gives you that flagship feel. So if you can spend a thousand dollars on a smartphone, spend 200 more and get the best in this video. I will show you how the ram difference makes a huge impact in the multitasking capabilities of the devices and, as you know, the CPU GPU and the OS versions are the same, but the s21 ultra is packed with a we HD plus resolution display uh when you are paying a thousand dollars full HD plus resolution is not acceptable on the s21 plus you can even get 120hz refresh rate in full resolution on the ultra. Of course, the big ram difference won't affect the user interface, your data real life uses, but in certain apps, and especially in multitasking, it clearly shows how s21 plus struggles.

The first thing I want to do is a boot test, and I am powering off the devices they switched off at the same time as expected. Let's quickly now turn on the devices. Well, as you can see guys, the galaxy s21 plus, which is on the left, turned on that is booted faster. Then it's a bigger sibling. In fact, I tried this twice and the same thing happened for some reason.

As you have seen, I have set the default full HD plus resolution on the s21 ultra. To make the test fair, I will start with some system apps, then some third-party apps and lastly, I will play some hardcore games. I will also check the ram management, so let's get started with the dialer. Well, if I'm not wrong, they opened at the same time. So it's a draw.

Definitely next we have the system messaging app and once again I think it's a draw. So it's going great so far for both devices. Next we have the Chrome browser and though there is a pop-up window on the s21 plus, the original google page opened quicker on the ultra. Now this is the Samsung internet browser and once again the bigger brother is 21. Ultra is the winner, so another point goes to the device and there you have the cameras.

Well, it's hard to tell which one was faster, but the front camera definitely opened quicker on the s21 plus. Let me try the camera once again: handheld. Well, definitely the s21 pluses camera opens quicker. Another information I want to share with you guys the on-screen fingerprint sensor on the s21 plus responds faster compared to the ultra model. So in some scenarios, especially in system apps, the s21 plus is faster.

Next, let's try the system gallery apps and I think it's a draw. They were simultaneous there. You have the play store and once again it's a draw. So the score right now is s21. Plus 2 is 21 ultra two and four draws there.

You have the YouTube apps and this time the ultra model outperforms, and it's quite interesting to see the internet apps like the browsers. The YouTube apps are responding faster on the ultra model. Let me try to load this YouTube video and I think this time they were neck and neck. I also have the system contacts app, and they were simultaneous once again guys its now time for third party apps, and I will start with these social apps. Interestingly, the s21 plus on the left wins in this test.

Next, we have Instagram and I will say, s21 wins because it loaded the feeds quicker than its sibling. Lastly, we have Twitter and uh. Definitely it's a draw. Next, let's try this three news: apps, I will start with CNET, and it's taking some time to load and s21 plus is like momentarily quicker. Next app we have got is NDTV and this time ultra wins.

Lastly, I will try the Flipboard app this time. S21 plus responded few milliseconds before the ultra model. Next, I have three shopping apps to test, so there you have the Amazon app. The ultra model is faster. This time the next app is Flipkart.

Maybe ultra model was faster by a millisecond or two. So the point goes to s21 ultra there. You have first cried such a slow software uh. I will say it's a draw next, I have for you some photoshop apps, so I will start with photoshop express it's a draw. Definitely the next app, for you is Photoshop Lightroom, and this time I think ultra wins.

The next app is called photoshop camera and once again it's a draw. There is adobe Photoshop Sketch. Once again I will say it's a draw, so it's perfect to see that these two devices are neck and neck on most of the apps, and before I do the very crucial gaming speed test, there is another app left and photoshop mix was momentarily quicker on the s21 plus. So the score right now is s21, plus 8 is 21. Ultra 7 and 9 draws now it's time for gaming.

I have these games here. Let's start with a medium graphics game subway surfers. Well, though they were like a very, very close. I think s21 ultra was faster by a millisecond or two to load the game. Our next game I want to check, is temple, run 2 and let's see what happens this time as well, the ultra model is the faster device.

It's time for a bigger and more graphics intensive game, so we have asphalt extreme. This is a big win for the s21 plus. The ultra model is taking a lot more time. So the point goes to the s21 plus. Next, let's try Call of Duty, as you can see guys, s21 ultra was able to load this game before the 21 plus.

Next we have e football PS 2021 and let's see how do these two phones respond to this game? Once again, we have got the s21 plus as the winner, so it's getting very interesting. The last game or the last app I am going to test in this p test- is asphalt, 9. And we have the winner, which is the as21 ultra frankly, in this speed test, both in apps and games. I think these two devices were very, very close, very comparable. There is no noticeable difference in terms of speed in terms of app response.

They are too fast, probably the fastest in the world, but in terms of ram management. Well, you have got eight gigabyte ram on the s21 plus and 12 gigabytes, or up to 16 gigabyte ram on the s21 ultra. I have the 12 gigabyte ram variant, and this makes a big difference, as you can see the dialer app reloaded on the 21 plus, whereas the ultra model could even load the first app I opened in this speed test. The Chrome browser is also running in the background of ultra, so this gives you an idea. How awesome is the ram management or multitasking capability of the s21 ultra compared to the s21 plus? The YouTube app is refreshing on both phones.

So it's not possible to hold all these apps and big games in the ram, but it's evident that s21 plus is not even close to the ultra in terms of ram management or multitasking capabilities. The extra 4 gigabyte ram plays an important role and when you are spending a thousand dollars, why don't be future-proof with the s21 ultra? This Photoshop app basically crashed and I know uh. You won't probably need this many apps running in the background, but still when there is another device, just 200 more offering such powerful multitasking capabilities. Why spend your money on this s21 plus, as you can see, it also couldn't handle subway surfers, so it started from the beginning. Losing your gaming progress asphalt.

Extreme is also facing the same fate on the s21 plus losing the game, and this is why you should spend the extra money, not even the last game that I loaded is still in the ram. So I think this video was useful. It's now clear to you why buying the s21 plus could be a mistake, considering the price and for twelve hundred dollars. The galaxy s21 ultra is like the ultimate gaming machine, the super smartphone you can buy in 2021. I hope that this video was informative, stay tuned for more interesting videos on these smartphones check the description for the links.

This is Sakai signing off have an amazing day, guys.
