I was coming to find just this thread. I'm REALLY torn. I really like the Note 10+ thatI have (and not even the 5G version, I really don't need that at all)...While I really do like the 120hz screen capability and I do LIKE the better camera capability, I dont really do THAT much with this phone and the camera. Android, Samsung is (god forbid) really 2nd to my apple ecosystem and I use it more for work and testing some android apps.
What I still really LIKE/LOVE about the 10+ is the weight and feel in the hand. Frankly I think it is one of the best designed phones,, screen shape, resolutions, form factor, etc. I've tried the note 20, the S21, and I returned them all. the upgrade in features was just not enough and that was when mother samsung was giving nearly $700 for upgrade/trade ins.
Now, with the S22 Ultra, I find the WEIGHT and form factor JUST a tad large and heavier.. yes, it's only really 1oz, a handful of peanuts at most. but something about it just feels like it's going to bother me.
From the past three years on the note 10+ I have about 65 pictures. on my iphone 8+ (yes, I know upgrading is hard) I have 1000's. so, you can see where the daily driver is.
but, at the same time, i think the best we can do with the Note 10 10+ is going to be ONE MORE ADROID update to maybe 13 at best. With these most recent devices, S22 and beyond, we're looking at at least FOUR next updates.
For the money, I'm sitting at about $540 to make the upgrade and stay with the program, which isn't too much but what I really really wanted was the S22 ULTRA in the same form factor as the note 10+ and the same weight (I know I KNOW PHYSICS!) with maybe just a tad better battery life and all the upgrades. Is that too much to ask?
