In my country Google Pixel and OnePlus are nonexistant, so it is either Samsung or iPhone for the high-end. And iPhones are ridiculously overpriced here, even years after launch, while Galaxies drop in price gradually.

I don’t know how, but my S23 got stolen and the thief was able to factory reset it without tripping Knox. I know because I found it on Facebook Marketplace a few days after the theft. The photos showed they had successfully wiped it clean.

I couldn’t lock it via Samsung or Google before I lost connection to it, maybe that’s related?
