Hello everyone,

I am in a unque position to exchange my 128gb S21 Ultra to a 512gb model for only £40.

These are unlocked and sim free handsets and I am from the UK for context.

Do you think it's worth it?

Are there any added benefits apart from the added RAM and storage?

Any comments will much appreciated. 🙂

It's definitely worth it in my view. I have the 256gb S21 ultra. There's no difference besides the ram and storage.

It is definitely worth it if you can.
The 512gb variant not only has the bigger RAM, but also opens up functionality with more peripherals (I have the pen as well and it is very responsive)..

+ for £40 (you must tell me your secret) it is a no brainer...

As long as you are happy with the phone (there are "issues" with ui3), then I would say Go For it...

I have the 512gb and think it's worth it. 8k video if you were to film in that resolution can take up alot of space and 108mp and raw files are big so more space is always worth it.

Thank you to those who have replied.

I am usually good with my storage management so initially went for the 128gb but as you have highlighted the 512gb for £40 more is a no brainer. I won't need to do any management. 🙂

I think I will go for it.. I will definitely feedback once the exchange has fully happened (and share how I did it).

I think it's a pretty unanimous decision that 40 quid for an extra ~400GB is absolutely worth it. Even external storage at the cost would be good, but internal is faster and more expensive, makes it even more worth it for that price.

Definite no brainer, £40 more for 384GB more space is worth it, especially as it is very fast storage (not to mention the added RAM). I wish mine got that discount.

I got the 512gb for the price of 256 with employee discount so it was a no brained as I factored I'd need it with google ending free cloud storage come June and all this 8k videos etc I might wanna try.
The ram seems negligible as I never seem to go over 8 but 16 is still a bonus and future proof.
So definitely go for it.
