The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra was arguably the best Android smartphone offering from last year. But all good things eventually come to an end, and the flagship offering is no exception. Samsung’s official US site now no longer offers the S21 Ultra as an option, which isn’t all that surprising considering the S22 series is almost upon us.
PhoneArena reports that clicking on the “buy now” button for the phone redirects to S21, S21+, and S21 FE buying options. The page for the Ultra model is still intact, of course, but has been reduced to nothing but an archive now.
It could be possible that Samsung has done this deliberately so as to not let the S21 Ultra impact S22 Ultra sales, and if that’s the case, then the rest of the S21 lineup will likely get unavailable as well when the S22 and S22+ go on sale.
Or it could be the stocks for the Galaxy S21 Ultra truly running out. The global chip crisis has made it quite difficult for OEMs to maintain a steady inventory of high-end devices, especially of older models.
But it’s not just the US where the S21 Ultra could soon be turning history as the Exynos 2100-powered Ultra has also gone out of stock pretty much everywhere in Europe too. This means that the European variant could be facing discontinuation soon as well.
Still, in the US, if for some reason you’re still looking to buy the S21 Ultra, there are a few options. Best Buy is selling it at $1,200 unlocked and so is AT&T at the same price, for the entry-level 128GB model.
