Hi, I got my s21 base model on release, it's in great condition but I've noticed the battery has been dying a lot faster lately. I used to upgrade every  year, but felt it wasn't worth it, as the leaps in tech didn't feel that big. Now it's been a few years I'm considering the 24 ultra, never had an ultra before, but found a good deal direct from Samsung which beats my network providers deal by a lot. Anyway, what do you think? Worth upgrading, will I see much difference between the models? I've looked at review videos and most seem pretty postive.

Thanks in advance for reading and hopefully replying.

Oh you will definitely see a noticeable difference.
It's an epic phone and im loving mine.
But it all depends on your circumstances. What do you need from the phone.

My recommendation is to go and see one. Not everyone is happy with the squared design. Personally I love it as its better to hold when using the S Pen

If you are getting a really good deal, then I guess it's a no brainer.
But also have a look at the S24 and S24+. Just in case it's more your thing.
If you have a Samsung Experience Store near you, be worth a visit and ask all the questions you want.

I agree with both @Glenntech and @GusB you should see some significant differences between the S21 and the S24 Ultra.

However, it is good to keep reasonable expectations. Like everything in life, if you allow your imagination to run wild and have unchecked expectations, you are likely to be disappointed. The S21 is not a bad phone. However, the S Ultra model (cough, cough, former Note series) have some special magic. It is not for everyone, but I would not consider a different model as long as I can get this one. If on top of that you can get it for a good deal, then it will feel even better.

The most notable difference will be size. If you do not like big phones then this is not the one for you. The S24 Ultra is a big phone, but it will not feel big for long. I remember thinking that the Note was too big until I got the Note 3. I could not go back to small phones.

Yep! Best option for a new phone if you are already a galaxy user.
