My S23+ is coming tomorrow and im upgrading from an S9+. I’ve had it since 2018 and im a little sad to be switching. Espesically since as of now the only “issue” is the battery doesn’t last all day like it used to. But I know I can move literally everything over to the new phone so thats a plus.
One thing I saw on here recently, someone said your phone may seem fine but you don’t realize how bad its gotten until you get a new one.
We will see.
I’m currently using my S9 and got a new battery put in it a few months ago. The S23 has a lower resolution, fewer PPI, removed the headphone jack, removed the SD card, removed easy on gesture, removed the LED notification light, and I think they removed edge lighting (I may have just missed it as they may have moved where it’s at on the new ones) The only new thing the S23 brings is a new camera (i’m not a photographer like 90% of users and those who are have a real camera anyways) and a faster processor - which I’ve never had issues with the speed of my device. It’s unfortunate, but I have yet to find a phone from any manufacturer who can compete with my S9. Every “upgrade” would be a loss of features and nothing to gain. I could see replacing features for other features, but it’s only a net loss. It’s pathetic.
