Hi,

I’m considering buying an S23 Ultra as I’m seeing some good deals online. To give you an idea, I don’t upgrade my phones often. I’m still using my OnePlus 7 from 2019, and my general rule is to not spend more than €800 on a smartphone. I’m seeing some good deals online, including one for €915, so I’m considering extending my budget a bit. I’m really tempted.

However, I’ve seen the Qualcomm announcements about the SD 8 gen 3 last month, along with a Xiaomi 14 Pro review. I am now wondering if I should get an S23 Ultra now, or wait until January or so and buy an S24/S24+ for about the same price. The idea is to keep the device for as long as possible, so having an extra year of software updates would be appreciated. With that said, I have many uses for my phone, but the two most important factors are battery life and photo quality (I just went on a safari and got disappointed by the OnePlus 7 picture quality when shooting from distance).

Thanks

    Nope nope nope Samsung sucks. But if you want to buy 1200 for outdated software and pathetic future upgrade timelines go for it.
