I was using the S21 FE, and honestly, the battery was terrible. I couldn’t get more than 4 hours out of it, and the phantom drain was worse. Even when the phone wasn’t being used, it drained like crazy, sometimes even faster than when I was using it. I had to charge it at least twice a day. It also overheated constantly, even with simple tasks, and the phone was slow as heck. It just felt like the S21 FE had reached its limit.
So, I decided to get an S24 Plus. I bought a refurb, and it’s in pretty good shape. Some minor scratches on the frame, but that’s it. And wow, everything is better. This phone handles daily tasks without any slowdowns! No overheating anymore, just warms up a bit sometimes. And the battery life is amazing. No more phantom drain! I can get through a whole day of moderate use and still have battery left at the end. I’m loving it so far. Definitely worth the upgrade!

Which chipset model? Exynos or Snapdragon?
Snapdragon! I’ve heard the Exynos version isn’t terrible, but I always prefer Snapdragon.
No bro, Exynos is even worse. Personal experience from the Note 20 Ultra 5G Exynos version. I still use it as my secondary phone. It’s the best Note ever made, I’m not giving up on it.
Congratulations! I’ve had the S24+ since June, and it’s been amazing! It might not be the Ultra, but it’s close. No need for a stylus. The battery is fantastic, and I’ll be keeping this phone for a long time. I even got 7 cases for it. You’re gonna love this phone!

Yeah, I always wanted the S24 Ultra, but honestly, I don’t regret getting the Plus. After doing some research, I realized I don’t really need the Ultra. The Plus does everything I want (and more!). It’s great. And yeah, my battery is holding up perfectly too!
