Is it worth it to dump my Note 20 Ultra for the S21 Ultra?

I did, I don't use spen that often and never use sdcard slot. Ended up paying about $200 bucks with tax for upgrade. Besides the obvious upgrades, one thing I do notice is that S21U is a lot easier to hold in hand and screen is not curved as much which makes it possible to use without case and it actually looks better like that. Fingerprint sensor seems to be finally working properly too
May I ask how you got it for 200? Best trade I've seen is 900... And for me, I could get away with a n20u with 128 because of the sd card for photos. So a 256 would be 300 plus tax and activation... So over 400.

Note 20 tradein $800, some small student discount ($20 bucks maybe), $250 for accessories....get buds or watch and then sell it. I also got $62 cash back via racuten. So about $150 for phone, $50 tax, and minus $62 cashback, so around $150 total actually

Ah, gotcha. The accessory credit was a preorder thing right?

Yes. Also had $5 in Samsung points )) fixed >> $150 to $200 depending on how you sell accessory(s) since shipping, PayPal, and listing fees also cost money (forgot to count that)

I finally researched this S21U more. It supports the Spen, but not included, you can buy that for $40 and probably have to wait month or more for it as it will probably be on backorder. Then you need to buy a case if you want to carry it on the phone with you, $70 for both case and SPen.

I see all the reviews thanking samsung for lowering the price, the price should be lower. No SD card slot and you have to buy the Spen separate.

This is the first samsung flagship phone that I have zero interest in. There is no way I would leave a note 20 ultra or even a note 10+ for this S21U. I'm looking forward to the fold 3 havimg SPen support, but if it's set up like the S21U, I have no interest. Far as I'm concerned, samsung is opening the door to explore elsewhere for phones. I manage 10 lines and all are samsung phones because that's where we pay attention to, but samsung is focused on following apple now days, so might as well look at all phones.
Also, no power brick

I just got my N20U a couple of weeks ago AFTER waiting for the official unveiling of the S21 line. I like the square form factor of the Note and actually find it comfortable. Anybody here familiar with Flaunt phone cases? They are iPhone cases with SQUARE edges...Screenshot_20210131-094026_Chrome.jpg

Trying to order the Verizon S21 Ultra in 512GB and they seem to be sold out.

What did Samsung only produce a couple hundred 512's and that's it?

Just out of interest, did anyone see Flossy's look at the S21 ultra S Pen case recently, did you notice the Pen came with spare tips? AFAIK no one managed to get them on the Note 20 Ultra!

Nope definitely not worth it, to trade in the Note20 Ultra for the S21 Ultra is definitely a no go here it's a downgrade.

That flat black S21 Ultra is calling me

Just can't decide if I should dump my 512GB Note 20 Ultra for it.
I have both and am deciding on whether I'll actually trade in my Note 20 Ultra and keep the S21 Ultra. I've had the S21 since last Thursday and I'm leaning toward keeping it and trading in the Note.
