Looking to upgrade to a refurbished model of one of these. Backmarket lists the prices as $458 vs $578 (respectively).

Both would be a MAJOR upgrade from my current phone, but I can't really decide.

Also, I'm a college student, so I don't want to spend more if I don't need to. Of course, with the Note 20 Ultra aging, the S22U feels like the better option, especially since I usually upgrade every 4 years or so.

Thoughts?

This might sound like a no brainer but I've always loved the Notes. I had a Note 10 Ultra that I absolutely loved. I dropped it, the screen shatter and I switch over to a Pixel 6Pro, one of the worse phones ever, bugs everywhere, 2 years later I'm tired of it. I was looking at either getting back into a Note20 Ultra, I have found some new ones for close to $300 USD or my other option would be getting a S22 Ultra for $450. I know the Note is not getting any more updates other than security patches but I have such a soft spot for notes and all the features the pen has. What do you all think?

Any posts will be much appreciated if, I listed some topics below but any posts are welcomed, thanks.

Note 10+: -Does the phone still keep up with demanding software? -Would you buy this phone over the Ultra? -Camera comparable to Ultra?

Note 20 ultra: -Does the big camera bump bother you? -Too big and heavy compared to the Note+? -Battery life compared to 10+ -Gaming performance -120 hz worth it? -5G experience? -Camera focusing issues resolved?

Update: After a couple of weeks of trying to buy the Note Ultra from the Samsung store (out of stock) , decided to buy a certified refurbished Note 10 plus which came with 1 year warrenty to hold me over till the next note comes out.

The note is super zippy. Very satisfied so far.

Love the NFC copy card feature in Samsung pay, I can leave my work card at home. Unlocking doors with a phone is cool. Also installed an app that gives me immersive mode. The power of android. Thanks again everyone for your responses learned a lot.
