    Galaxy S21 Ultra camera is a beast, proves short wildlife documentary

    Samsung has partnered with Discovery, filmmaker Vikram Singh, and wildlife photographer Yashas Narayan to demonstrate the power of the Galaxy S21 Ultra camera system through a short wildlife documentary that focuses on one of nature's most beautiful apex predators — the tiger. The short documentary, filmed on the Galaxy S21 Ultra, takes viewers on a trip through the stunning jungles of India with the scope of showing people all over the world how tigers synergize with their environments. And, of course, to raise awareness on deforestation, poaching, and overhunting, as these practices have become an ever-bigger threat to the very survival of the world's largest cats.

    Vikram Singh hopes that “capturing the power and beauty of these animals” will allow people to “experience tigers in a tangible way.” The Galaxy S21 Ultra was a fantastic choice for this endeavor because it can quickly adapt to a variety of situations thanks to a combination of four rear-facing cameras that complement one another with different qualities.

    The Galaxy S21 Ultra is a compact, versatile solution for wildlife photography and video recording

    The Galaxy S21 Ultra is equipped with a 108MP (f/1.8) wide-angle camera with 0.8-micron pixels, PDAF, and OIS. The primary sensor is accompanied by a 12MP (f/2.2) ultra-wide camera with 1.4-micron pixels and super speed dual pixel autofocus, as well as two 10MP telephoto cameras. The system is capable of 3x and 10x optical zoom, and up to 100x digital zoom.

    The camera setup is assisted by a laser autofocus module, a Camera app that provides robust Pro modes and 8K Video Snap, and a Zoom Lock feature that becomes very useful once you move past 30x zoom. And thanks to the brand-new Samsung Expert RAW app, Galaxy S21 Ultra users can now use Pro Mode in conjunction with the telephoto cameras.

    Check out the Galaxy x Discovery short wildlife documentary and the behind-the-scenes video below to see the Galaxy S21 Ultra and the world's largest cats in action, and let us know if you would take this beast of a flagship phone on a safari.
