S24 plus and S24 Ultra

[gray2018]

Hello all. There are some sweet deals I've noticed recently for the S24 plus. I could apparently get one for around 400 dollars with trade in.
Now, in recent years, obviously the Ultra has generally been the top tier for everything. However, this does seem to be the first year that the Plus version is pretty close to the Ultra. 12GB of RAM, a nearly identical battery size, an actual WQHD display again. I don't know if there are others.

That said, I honestly don't really care about the S-pen at all. I am also given to understand that the entire S24 series also has a flat display?
My main concern is camera quality. I've been spoiled by my S21 Ultra for nearly two years now. Screen brightness is also a worry. How bright does the display get? Is there also the option to use the extra bright feature, like what has been on devices since the S22U? I'm not sure of the exact name of it.

Is it worth it? Also, I don't have to really get rid of my S21U either. I have several devices I could trade in, the S21U is just one of them. All of them Samsung is currently giving a trade in value of 600 dollars.

There are several videos that compare the Plus to the Ultra side by side on YouTube which is where I refer everyone with such questions because it is a rare person who has owned both to say this is better on this one, that was better on the other.

It sounds like you're also trying to get the best deal, so if you have no need for the S-Pen the Plus sounds like your device. You're right about the specs being close this year and I watched at least a few videos while trying to talk myself out of getting a new device saying that they liked the Plus this year over the Ultra. Feels better in the hand, equal or better battery...

Don't take my word for it.
