For context, I am in the UK and looking at replacing my aging OnePlus 7 pro.

Between black Friday and an employer discount, I can get a 256gb ultra from Samsung directly for £874, which sounds good but I have been out of the loop on phones for a while.

It is only about 2-3 months until the 24 comes out and prices may drop quite a bit then.

I am also looking at other phones around that price but those are much newer (e.g. pixel 8, iphone, etc).

Thoughts?
