So there's no way to connect regular cord headphones to it? If so, that's a big negative for me.
Of course there is. You use the C plug. This is not difficult.

That is correct. There are some Verizon UW specific S20 phones that don't have the slot. And they also only have 8 GB of RAM for the enhanced 5G coverage. I made sure when buying that I wasn't going to get that one. The trade off isn't worth it to me. 5G isn't that prevalent here yet. The problem is some sellers on eBay and Amazon aren't transparent they're selling the Verizon UW version. And it's misleading buyers.

Samsung removed it to cut costs unfortunately. I'm hoping it returns with the S22.

I didn't think the S21 Ultra had it? Regardless, the Ultra is way too big for my hands.

Granted I have the stylus case for my Ultra, but yeah, it's quite large even without it. The top left corner is sometimes hard to reach when one-handing it.

Went from S9 to S21.

S21 lasts WAY longer than my S9 ever did.

I have a Rhinoshield carbon fiber case on my S20. And it comes up right to the top of my jeans pockets. I work around machinery a lot, so I don't want it falling out of my pocket at work. The Ultra would definitely be too bulky for me. I want something that can easily be held in one hand. And doesn’t feel like a giant brick in my pocket. And the S20 accomplishes that. But I could see why those with large hands would want the Plus or Ultra.

S21 ultra is awesome phone. Great camera, best/brightest screen, really smooth feeling I love it. Don't worry apple fanbois about to start gooing and gaaing over 120hz like their phone was the ambassador. It makes a difference

I see a lot of mentions that the Ultra is too big for 1 hand. I went from S9 to S21 Ultra. Size difference is just .75" taller and .25" wider. I use a slim case, not an otterbox style case. It fits in my hand and any pants or shorts pocket easily. I wanted the largest battery. The extra screen size, RAM, and camera were bonuses. The camera is amazing however. On a trip to Yellowstone this summer I got to really test it. It definitely rivals my wife's Sony a6000 (and arguably beats it).

I have the S20 Ultra, almost identical screen size and I will say with a decent case I find it a bit difficult to operate with one hand. I would say I have average/medium size hands as well. Without the case, it's a lot easier to use.
