Is this sarcasm?

Lower than predicted. Meaning they predicted a number, and then the real number is lower than that.

But there is no real number. because there is no phone.

Still waiting on my unlocked S22 as well. On Verizon.

RAM Plus doesn’t provide additional battery life, speed, or processing power. It only provides additional storage to keep apps open and paused in their current state, rather than closing them when RAM is filled.

Pros of RAM plus: Apps stay open longer rather than being shut down in the background

Cons of RAM plus: Slightly less storage to be used for photos, music, apps, etc.

Is the change worth it?

For what? what are you hoping to gain? The drawbacks and benefits of Android vs iOS are well documented.

The phones are super similar, I wouldn’t let yourself stress about it at all. I don’t think there are even any major differences between the 22 and the 23 FE, just minor swaps.

You definitely didn’t ruin anything or screw up, but if you feel like you see stats or features on the 22 that you’d be missing, then you can always return the FE and get it.

Definitely nothing to be “really worried” about. You did fine!

It’s a lot more expensive.

Look up the Samsung XCover phones. They’re designed to be really durable to handle job sites and abuse.

Samsung Support - How do I turn off iMessage on my old iPhone before I switch to my new Samsung device?

Oh, I guess that explains that. Thanks!

I was just in the Samsung Shop app. Saw the Ultra for $899, and it was offering me $600 off for my S22.

Final price: $501.86

iOS is pretty much the undisputed best at video recording, so I’m not sure what you’re seeing that makes you feel that it looks worse than the S20+

I’m not sure who “we” is, but it might just be you and the people on your local carrier, based on the agreements and contracts they have with the providers who actually give you your connectivity.

MKBHD does blind camera testing with tens of thousands of viewers, and the S2? Ultra is always in the top 5 of camera quality. Only consistently beaten by Pixels.

Your expectations for the results from a phone camera may be unrealistic.

What sort of inputs does the Bose system have?

The battery health is at 100%

seems like you have your answer

Bought nice bluetooth headphones. Pretty obvious.

I don’t miss it at all.

Do people actually regularly check their SoT? Why?

I look every once in a while for like the first week I have a phone, to see what I can expect out of it, and then never ever look again.

I get that this change would be less useful, but like, why was the old way useful for anything?
