    Yup, very minimal difference. I used my S21 Plus for 3 years and am planning to get the S24 Ultra. Since this one is going to get 7 years of updates, I'm planning to use it for 5 years. That should make a big enough difference.

Also someone just showed a short where his iPhone 5 is still working but unfortunately his carrier doesn’t support it.

    I literally maybe 5 minutes ago, and prior to seeing this great comparison, just bought the S21 Ultra for only $299 from Best Buy in the Phantom Silver. They had several for sale ranging from $299 up to $499 and they actually had a phantom black model 512gb up on sale for only $399! I probably should have bought that one but I was after the phantom silver. Although I already am wishing I would have just taken the color out of the equation. 512gb S21 Ultra at $399 is unbelievable. I wished samsung would have made the phantom silver S21 Ultra in at least a 256gb version also. It's nonsensical that they didn't. 128gb today just is barely enough, if at all. I'm looking forward to receiving it and at $299 it's a truly good device to buy. Great video.

The camera's are definitely better on the zoom on the S24. I sometimes use my Space Zoom and 3X zoom. I'll just wait a few more years unless my phone dies or breaks and whatever. Great video!

    Compare the Galaxy S24 with the Galaxy S20. 4 years difference and only hardware change is the SoC and the camera (that too the UW is the same and the main and 3x zoom are side-grades). Oh we also lost 12GB RAM on the base model, expandable storage and box contents. Welcome to 2024. Samsung has found a way to streamline the software releases and made it economical. So no big hardware upgrades despite charging a lot for new devices - we are basically paying for software updates at this point.

Also the Note 20 Ultra's screen size a little bit bigger. Samsung nickled and dime it's user. The S21U still had 12 GB RAM on base model but the s22U and 23U decreased the RAM to only 8GB. Unless you are super picky flagships within the last few years are still fine.

But the more I research, the more I find out that there is next to no difference for my use except having s-pen. When it comes to pure specs, the cameras actually seem slightly worse on S24 (except the main camera) and are only balanced out by having more computational power and prehaps better AI image processing.

    The Samsung Galaxy s24 ultra is the best device they've ever made. Of course, with the exception of the design language. It's perpetual right angles and pointy corners are extremely unattractive and make it very difficult to hold. Frankly, it looks like a miniature glass casket. They would be wise to revert to an ergonomic curved glass display and body. For $1,300 you'd think that a company like Samsung could produce a device that doesn't summon up visions of a funeral home. Especially, when there are devices such as the OnePlus 12 that rival it in almost every specification and costs far less. Not to mention, the design language of the OnePlus 12 is far more attractive. Anyway, that's just my opinion.
