Hello,

I’ll be making an investment into a new phone soon after using my note 8 since launch. Due to financial reasons it’ll be a huge investment and I want to make the right call. My note 8s battery barely lasts me 3/4ths of a day now.

I feel like it would feel like a downgrade if I got the S23+ with FHD resolution but the price gap is quite large too. Does the Ultras battery last longer than plus? What about the hardware? Is it worth the investment? I do use my phones for 4+ years.

What would you guys recommend?

    I went from Note 8 to S23 Ultra. The main improvement I notice is storage capacity and the camera. It is also faster. Everything else is improved as well, but not a huge noticeable change.

    I use my old Note 8 wireless and wired chargers and they all work fine.

    If money is a concern, you can get more life out of your Note 8 by buying cheap battery cases off Amazon. Although not perfect, I found I could easily get a full day of use from my Note, maybe even two, possibly three this way. The packs last maybe a year before you notice them degrade to where you might want a new battery pack. The phone gets thick, though.
