If you already have it, then it’s fine. If you are looking to buy it, then it isn’t the best choice unless you can get an awesome deal on it. The snapdragon 888, 8 gen 1 and the equivalent exynos SoCs aren’t very good especially with the 8 gen 2 out. I’d spring for at least an 8+ gen 1.

That’s because most people don’t need anything more than a mid ranger. They get sucked into all the marketing and status (in some cases).

The one thing though is that the flagship SoC tend to slow down less than mid rangers over time.

Getting another phone is the way. The 8 gen 1 and exynos for the s22 is straight garbage.
