Hello. I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G but I have a promotion where I can get $500 off on a Samsung Galaxy S23+.

Only thing is when comparing the specs it feels like a downgrade? The battery is less and so is the camera, even the ram! Should I just stick with my phone or would I notice an improvement on the new one? Thanks!

Edit: Or the Ultra version of 23

    Don’t kid yourself, the S23+ is way better in performance. The 8 Gen 2 is sooooo much stronger than the 888 or exynos in s21 ultra.

    I have s21 ultra right now and I’m gonna buy the S23 soon this month

      On paper that’s true, but how much does that actually translate to your day to day though, especially if OP has a snapdragon variant of the s21 ultra? I upgraded from a phone using a SD865 to one with a 8 gen 2. While it’s noticeably faster, I wouldn’t call the difference significant, and those chips are 4 generations apart. I believe you’re vastly exaggerating how big of a performance difference you’ll notice between modern smartphones that are a generation or 2 apart considering the fact that the average user is primarily using applications that don’t use more than a couple of cores.
