1440×3120 renders 1,900,800 more pixels than 1080×240073% more. They differ in shape too: 1080×2400 is 9:20 while 1440×3120 is 9:19.5, so windows and video fit differently.

Subtler than the spec sheet suggests: many QHD+ flagships ship rendering at FHD+ by default, and at arm's length most eyes struggle to tell 400 from 500 PPI. QHD+ matters for VR-style close viewing and bragging rights; FHD+ wins battery life. Try the toggle before assuming you need the pixels.
