In the middle of buying a new phone, currently using A51 for 2.8 years.
I am between:
● S22 ultra, 256 GB, currently 659 euros un my country. ● S23 + , 256 GB 739 euros.
This is as low as they can get, even with Black Friday deals.
Other options:
● S21 ultra 465 euros (128 GB) or 509 euros (256 GB). ● S23 ultra 256 GB is 799 euro (8GB) or 839 (12 GB) .
My original price target was <600 euros but since I plan to keep the same phone for at least 3 years, I’d rather spend a little more now.
I am not a heavy user, no games. I mostly use my phone for social networks, emails, and music (bluetooth). I tend to take a lot of photos since I travel a lot so I’d like a battery that does not need to be charged during the day. Don’t really care about quality, since I never post them.
I have been reading mixed reviews for all these phones.
I’d keep my A51 if it was not for the fact that it overheats to the point of not being able to keep it in hands and that it freezes or takes 30-60 seconds to open tha camera and saves photos. The battery is not the best but it last until I get back from work.
Overwall it’s a good phone for my needs. I’ve only used 2.8/4 GB and 72/128 GB and I have my data of +7 years here (I back up my photos to Google Photos).
I have not downloaded a game or seen a movie in years.
But you can’t keep it hence your post. I say widen your horizon and go with the 23 and see what’s up. Start playing more games and watching movies etc etc.
Go from there. If you want a snapiier phone go with better. If ut doesn’t matter to you, go back with mid tier.
