Hi all, currently looking to upgrade my very old and struggling S9+. I’m having a conundrum as the older gens are much lower in prices yet I’m not sure if they’re a better pick to current gens. I’m not from USA so here’s the prices converted to USD:
S21 Ultra 256GB: $435 S22+ 256GB: $592 S23 256GB: $663
Thoughts?
From Ultra you will want to upgrade only to next Ultra, plus and non plus version just stop existing. And right now there is no enough reason to upgrade, unless the phone breaks. And if I got it correctly, common s23 is 1.5x more expensive than still good Ultra phone.
If I hadn’t totalled my S21U I’d still use it and be happy. Right now I’m using S22U, and the main difference is form factor, I didn’t feel any big improvements. Maybe, if they improve telephoto cameras on S24U, there will be reason to upgrade, but right now S21U is still pretty good premium phone.
