After extensively using both the Galaxy S21 Ultra and the Galaxy Note10, I'm here to outline 5 compelling reasons why switching from the Note10 Plus, a remarkable Galaxy device, to the Galaxy S21 Ultra might just be the right choice.1. Enhanced S Pen Integration
The S Pen, an incredible stylus exclusive to the Galaxy Note series, used to be a significant deterrent for users considering a switch to Galaxy S devices due to the lack of stylus support.
2. 120Hz Display
Upon comparing the Galaxy S21 Ultra and the Galaxy Note10, one noticeable difference is the screen refresh rate. It's evident that the 120Hz support on the Galaxy S21 Ultra provides a significant advantage.
Previously, the 60Hz display was a standard in the smartphone industry, representing the maximum refresh rate. Hence, even at present, a 60Hz experience doesn't quite deliver utmost satisfaction.Since Samsung introduced the 120Hz display on the Galaxy S21 Ultra, the user experience, from navigating the interface to browsing Facebook, the web, gaming, and more, has been notably enhanced. Returning to smartphones with only a 60Hz refresh rate clearly reveals a significant difference. Moving from a higher to a lower standard highlights a tangible downgrade for users.
Not only the size but also factors like resolution and notably, the refresh rate, signify substantial upgrades in the S21 Ultra's display compared to the Note series dating back to the 10 series.With a spacious 6.8-inch QHD+ display coupled with 120Hz refresh rate, upgrading from older Galaxy Note models to the Galaxy S21 Ultra is definitely worth considering.3. Design Innovation of Galaxy S21 Ultra, Camera
When Samsung redesigned the Galaxy S21 Series, particularly the S21 Ultra, with the camera lenses housed in a unified module resembling a detachable camera unit, it elevated the device's recognition, offering sharper, more beautiful, and distinct imagery.
In my daily usage, those around me can easily identify the Galaxy S21 Ultra whenever I hold it, even those not well-versed in technology. Hence, the device's recognizability is notably higher, allowing us to showcase our personality with this device, making a clear distinction from older Galaxy Note models.
Not only in design but also in camera capabilities, the Galaxy S21 Ultra has seen significant upgrades. Features like 10x optical zoom, portrait mode, and the second-generation Single Take will revolutionize users' approach to smartphone photography.
For instance, with Single Take, we can capture life's moments comprehensively with the Galaxy S21 Ultra. Previously, without it, users needed extensive photography knowledge and techniques to capture beautiful and timely shots.

As the latest flagship device, the Galaxy S21 Ultra comes equipped with the latest and most powerful hardware - the Exynos 2100 chip developed on a 5nm process.After using the device extensively, I've noticed a significant improvement in the performance of the Galaxy S21 Ultra with the Exynos 2100 compared to previous SoCs like those found in the Galaxy Note10/Note10+.Lately, I've been playing Genshin Impact, a mobile game that demands high performance in terms of processing power and screen quality. Factors like processing speed, heat dissipation during gaming, and battery drain are crucial. That's why I would opt for the Galaxy S21 Ultra over the Galaxy Note10+ for gaming.5. 5G Connectivity
5G is no longer just a future concept; it's now a tangible reality for users to experience. Recently in March, I tested 5G connectivity with three major carriers: Viettel, Mobifone, and Vinaphone, on the Galaxy S21 Ultra, fully utilizing the potential of 5G networks.Honestly speaking, once I experienced the high-speed 5G connection or saw the '5G' icon on my phone's signal bar, it became quite familiar to me. So, using a device without 5G capability would be quite disappointing.Therefore, the presence of 5G or lack thereof is a significant factor to consider when upgrading to a new device, such as the Galaxy S21 Ultra. It not only allows us to stay ahead with the latest and better technology but also serves as a cost-effective way for those who want to pursue innovation while saving on expenses.Here are some of my thoughts on the question posed by a friend about whether to upgrade from the Note 10 Plus to the S21 Ultra. He has tried it and so far remains satisfied. Occasionally, he invites me for coffee to tinker with the device. For those who have used the S21 Ultra, feel free to share your opinions. Enjoy!
