Hello guys, I have the exynos version of the s21 ultra 128gb phantom black. 
I got mine delivered on Tuesday the 26th and the battery life the first couple of days was atrocious, was regretting getting the s21 ultra, considering my Samsung S10+ felt better on battery life, after 1.5 years of use! 
Anyway yesterday and today has been slightly better (I believe (unless it's in my head)), so I'm assuming once the phone does learn your usage patterns that it gets better, hopefully a little more time/days my battery life will be as good as I expected. I will post in the comments in a few days if it does or doesn't so keep following! 
Post your battery life and screen on time in the comments as I'd like to compare.

Think as you use the battery it gets 'stronger ' also I have heard the charging cable is not USB to C, but C to C ? which seems a bit naff !

Correct mate, I believe it does get stronger too.
In regards to the cable, as annoying as it is the cable is USB C to USB C instead of the usual USB A TO USB C.
I did not concern me so much as I wanted the new 25W power brick anyway, as I only had the 15W with my previous S10+, which was only between £15-£20 for a genuine Samsung one on Amazon.
As annoying as it is for Samsung to remove the power brick, especially after mocking apple for doing the same, I can understand why, let's hope other companies (not just phone companies) follow suit, so we can better our planet.

You say that but my laptop and most modern computers and laptops have a USB C port for file transfer, but I see your point, luckily I have about 8 USB A to USB C, so I'm all good.

It's all about future proofing, USB C is the way forward in every aspect, even iPhone will EVENTUALLY swap to USB C like the iPad pro.

Yes sometimes I can't understand apple. 🤣 That's good so you don't need to pay extra for a charger. 🤣
