I has been using note 9 for a long time. and I only use the minimum of its feature.
Google map / video,web browsing / camera and post on social (no hi res/long vid),
no genshin ,moba or any hi-res 3D game ,play a few 2D gacha game and and quit from time to time.
So I looking for a budget phone to replace.
but when i saw the compare table I got confused…
Compare Table
my note using Exynos 9810 while A54 using Exynos 1380 | [Note9] cpu 2.7 and [A54]2.2 Hz
The only thing that got upgrade is ram/rom from 6>8 and 128> 256 and battery from 4000>5000 mAh
and can upgrade android version on A54 .
Q1. Is my note9 still outspec A54 in everyday usage?
Q2. what is a diff between Exynos 9810 - 1380 is it better or worse?
Q3. Is there significant upgrade on A54 than my old note9 ?
I consider to save up more to get S23 by the new year if needed.
Might want to try new game when I has snapdragon chipset too
I’d recommend the S21U. Still a great phone, and quite budget too nowadays, you can pick one up for 350$ (base version). I got mine for 450$, the 512gb version. Idk really what’s your budget, though
I has a budget around 12-15k baht (330-400$) which can afford A54,note20 U,S21 without burden.
But S23 in my country price are 30-33k baht (~900$) which is nearly triple of my expected budget.
If I can save money when samsung launch S24 in feb-mar next year.
may be I can afford to buy S23.Well, you know how urgent your need to upgrade is. S21U is a great phone altogether, but it’s starting to get a bit old. If you can save up, the base S23 with the newer chipset alone should be a great option. If you need it now, keep the S21U in mind as an option. It’s way better than the A54 and should be close in price
If your note is still fine, then you don’t really need to upgrade. Maybe a battery change?
obsolete model/android ver , insufficient rom for games and stuffs
no fashion cover case , UAG stop selling case for this long ago so does gorilla glass.
Mine is the only one phone that still has camera in the middle of phone :Pand has a line or two crack screen ,not affect touching yet but noticeable.
If you’re in the UK you can get a deal on S23 for £23 a month for 24 months with a sim which is cheaper than buying it outright.
Where on earth are you finding that lol, that’s an insanely good price. The best I can find is £18/month £265 up front with O2. That price is roughly the same as buying a B grade 256 GB model from Cex so that’s definitely worth it
