Hi all,

I have never owned a Samsung phone before in my life. I need help picking one out for my boyfriend as a gift, his current phone is old and runs so slowly. He only likes androids/samsung. I want to get him a decent Samsung for around ~$600-$700 USD. One that can run pretty smoothly, take decent pictures (as he’s a foodie and loves taking picture of his food) and will be reliable for the next 5 years or so.

Thank you!

    OP, listen to the others. S23 it is. I have the + my boyfriend the smaller version. Both are great. Great battery life, camera will be a big upgrade, both are excellent phones.

    Why? It’s the most recent one and while you or your bf probably won’t care, there is a technical reason why it lasts so long: it has a good processor. Depending on where are you from, models such as S21 or S23 might also have a good chip but save yourself the hassle and get a S23 :)

    Also, if you get it for him maybe the app CameraRaw from the Galaxy Store is something for him. It’s an official Samsung app and gives you high control about lots of things in the camera.
