Ali, 01 Mar 2023Samsung Note 20 Ultra or Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G which ... moreI have the S21 Ultra and my wife has the Note20 Ultra, both Snapdragon variants. We got these almost 2 years ago and they have both been great devices. My S21 Ultra has 16GB's of ram vs the Notes 12GB's. That, along with the S21's faster processor, it definitely performs better than the Note. The S21 does not come with an S-Pen but does support it. We have always got the same devises but she likes to take a lot of videos and was concerned about not having a microSD card slot. Both devises have been getting consistent updates, both are on Android 13, the S21 has One UI version 5.1 but the Note is still on One UI version 5. We usually upgrade every 2 years which will be in May. We will probably both go with the S23 Ultra. So in my opinion, the S21 Ultra is probably the better choice, but they are both great devices.

Don't flash any rom on the S21U Qualcomm, qualcomm variants aren't compatible with most custom recoverys and kernels, also custom ROMS.

Thank you for your advice. I'm trying to avoid flashing because I'm not really native with Odin. But I'll handle it somehow if I don't find another solution.

Thanks for your reply.
I'm using this phone (998U1 256GB) for almost two years, and until now and everything works perfectly. The version is unlocked, and from one UI 5.0, I do not get any security updates (November is the last one). Google security patch is up to date. Also, in Europe, the only models are on Exynos, and in USA are Snapdragon. The phone is really great.
The last option is to use Odin and flash him.

I got One UI 5 in January (I think that I'm the last one in my country🙄) with a November security patch and I didn't get any after so far. I read that is a problem with updates and the phones just getting stuck on some versions with no other updates. Can you have some solution for this?
Thank you a lot"
You have imported the US variant of the S21U to Europe?, and locked?, because the locked variants tend to receive the updates more later, I've had suggested you to buy the version that comes in Europe.

SD888... moreBud, I'm not sure you know what your talking about the snapdragon 888 and previous gens all the way back to the snapdragon 855 had no heating issues or anything major as far as I've seen. I'm a flagship smartphone collector so I have quite a bit in my collection using 855-8 gen 1 chipsets and they had no issues even when put into pretty rough task such as running multiple games like genshin, tower of fantasy, PGR etc at once with no issue. You may be the problem as you may not be properly taking care of your phones such as closing out tabs, cache and doing daily restarts to keep your phone running fresh.

I just checked old Comments in this community. Someone spoken wrong about SD Cards ! I'm not expert in anything but I can easily say that SD Card still worthy for the people who has tight budget to upgrade Cloud Storage like Google Drive &Apple cloud storage.
Cloud storage have so many benefits there I know but tight budget people like me prefer more on SD Cards or Pendrive.
Let's decode here
A 256GB SanDisk Micro sd Card comes with 10year warranty & Cost you $20 , No Monthly charge for next 10yr it will Protected under 10yr company warranty !
Other hand 200GB Cloud Storage cost Monthly $2.7
If we calculate for 10yrs Cost around near $320 !
That's the practical difference in cost for Sd Card & Cloud
I know for convenience Cloud is better but still cloud needed a strong network. Sd Card Or Pendrive doesn't needed Network!
For a middle class family man like me prefer more sd Card supported Phones but Honestly Flagship Phone doesn't needed Sd Card slot because 1TB/512 GB ROM phone widely available.
