If I had to pick either of those two options you stated, S21 Ultra.
The S21 series has the Snapdragon 888, which a lot of people say that it’s a toasty chip (gets hot and questionable battery efficiency)
Well…we were all wrong. When the S22 series released with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, THAT chip was so hot and had the worst battery efficiency I’ve ever seen it pretty much made the 888 look actually acceptable.
YES! This is my exact problem here too! I used to own a S20 FE with the
OrangePeach color and honestly for my hands, I felt the S20 FE was too massive holding it with one hand only (I measured it once and it was 159.something mm tall, basically rounded up to 160mm.) I immediately sold the S20 FE within the first 6 months of my ownership and I got another S10e costing me $230 including taxes but with the 256GB / 8GB RAM configuration (my first S10e has the 128GB / 6GB RAM config.)
