Disappointed with my new S21 Ultra 5G

[SombatK]

Hello there!

Just to tell you my disappointment from my S21 Ultra 5G recently purchased.

I immediately uninstalled the Samsung Health app because it refused to record my health data (blood oxygen, heart rate, etc.). 

I am looking from now for a Huwei or Oppo or any Chinese mobile phone!

So you are disappointed only because Samsung Health app is not working as should have?

[adduncan]

It's not that it's refused to do so. The phone doesn't have the sensors to do this. This was the case with the S20 series too. You need either a Samsung watch or another fitness tracker

Didn't really think about this. I haven't upgraded yet and still have my s10. However for the health tracking I rely on my samsung active 2 watch anyway so it wouldn't matter. Is there a reason samsung did put the sensors in the s20 and s21's?

[adduncan]

That I wouldn't know. I use my galaxy watch for these health functions

Strange reason to say your dissapointed with the S21 Ultra.

Can I ask which phones do have the sensors to do this? I have the S21 Ultra 5g and Gaaxy Watch 3, and one of the reasons I bought the watch was for the Blood Pressure etc and knew I needed the watch to capture the data

Exactly

Why did you buy the phone without checking if it had the sensors to measure these things? Not exactly a convincing reason to be disappointed nor an issue that can't be solved.
