Is the Plus noticeably smaller than the Ultra?

[Android Central Question]

Wondering if anyone has spent a decent amount of time using both phones. I got my Ultra yesterday and am not really digging the size. Wondering if I will notice a significant different in size and weight if I drop down to the Plus?

Because you knew what the OP was talking about. Many members would not have known. The OP was lucky.

Actually after using it for few days now I'm feeling the size and weight lol

Silly me already dropped off the trade in phone to Samsung couple of days back so for now I'm stuck with the tank
I like the phone but if I pick up my other phones it feels so nice just because if their size and weight. Thinking should have gone with S20+. Without the case it's better but who is going to risk carrying this soap bar without a case

@mustang7757 Now I know why I didn't use the OnePlus 7 pro. Chatted with Samsung and they will give a promo code for the trade in value once it's accepted. Hopefully that happens within return period and then I'm going to switch to S20+ just for the weight and handling lol

Hahaha, I had that in my mind when you made the comment but got busy here at work

Remember I asked you in one of the threads if weight was similar to 1+7pro ...

Yeah .. it's very much similar to that. Funny thing is on paper the 11 Pro max is heavier than the Ultra and for some reason the Ultra feels more unwieldy comparing to even the 11 Pro max. Strange.

Soap bar....I actually debated between the Ultra and Plus for a while but went with the Plus. Part of me wanted the Ultra but the phones are at the point of being too big. It's like holding a ham sammich up to your ear to talk.

I'm surprised , I do find my 1+7pro comfortable more so then my Note 10+ maybe because the square edge but I like the square design lol. Definitely good the pixel 4xl also , s10+ feels like a feather lol good also .

It could be a weight distribution thing.

Yeah possible

The Ultra is noticeably heavy. My bet is we'll get used to it. The larger iPhone 11's are heavy too.

If I turn over the ultra and hold it from the top by the cameras, it's still heavy to me...

Thanks for your honesty. I'll go with the S20+ or maybe even the S20.

I originally got the S20+. It is so thin and light compared to the Ultra. The Ultra is much beefier. The screen size isn't drastically larger but is noticible. I really wanted the extra camera features so I ended up grabbing an Ultra but I did spend a full day with the plus and now I have the Ultra.

Me I love going naked with my devices. The feeling of that cold glass and metal combo gets me all tingly. If and when I get the Ultra I’ll definitely be rocking it caseless.

I came from the S10 and I got used to the ultra already. I am liking the larger screen because it's easier on my eyes than the S10. All in all, I do think that the plus is potentially the perfect middle ground, especially taking optical zoom in the camera out of the equation.

So they will allow you to return the Hulk and give you a code to use as trade in for the S20+?

Yeah I checked with them yesterday. Once the trade in accepted they can give a code for $700 and I can initiate the return for the Ultra. Only thing is I need to see if the trade in gets accepted before return period. Last time the trade ins were processed quickly. It's supposed to deliver Wednesday and let me see how fast they will accept the trade in.

I'll also see if I can get the promo code for the pre order gifts since I'll have to return those as well and I'm anyway exchanging it to another model so they should be able to give a coupon for that.

At the end not a big deal if I'm with Ultra, I'll see how it works out in the next week or so.
