anyone upgrading from Note 10+ to S21U?

I am upgrading to the S21 Ultra 512 GB. I don't use an SD card or the stylus, but I am looking forward to the 3x/10x zoom lenses.

I did. I'm not a big photo person. Played with it a little bit. All I can say at this time is that the battery at idle is very good....better than the 10+ but that phone is 1.5 years old. A bit concerned about the screen on the Ultra. My eyes seem not to like it. Using the 10+ today and the Ultra tomorrow to see if it's really true. I do believe that the blacks are better on the Ultra so maybe it's the added contrast that I need to adjust to. Or it could be the dreaded PWM which would mean the Ultra needs to go back. Will just need to test both. The 10+ is still a VERY good phone.

I switched from 10+ to S21u. So far, not super impressed with the differences. The S21u runs super hot, particularly when watching video. Sometimes it's up near 45 degrees, which crushes the battery. The phone is hot to the touch. In terms of screen on time, I've been averaging between 6.5-8hrs, which is not much better than note 10+.

Curious what others who have this phone are getting for screen on time?

Exactly my viewpoint. I didn't buy the Note 20 Ultra because of the crappy Exynos SOC. My Note 10 Plus battery health is at 94% and that's only because I was careless in the first 8 months of using it. I'm pessimistically awaiting a Note 21 Ultra. If not forthcoming I'll check out the S22 Ultra next year

I am switching...battery has really not been that great on note 10 plus and I don't use the pen that much. Hype of Notes have died for me...I think the last great one was the NOTE 9. Difference between the S line and NOTE line aren't that much anymore...
