Understandable. If you want a notably cheaper upgrade, last year’s base S22 is currently on sale at Samsung for $460.

Samsung also offers $200 trade-in value for your S8+ if you purchase this year’s base S23 (so about $600 after trade-in).

And if you change your mind on the S23 Ultra, Best Buy currently has it on sale for $900.

Just wanted to inform of other options. Good luck 👍

If money’s not an issue, then just upgrade. That’s a nearly 7 year-old phone.

S22 Ultra hasn’t even dropped price since the S23 Ultra came out. And with these current deals, the S23 Ultra is actually cheaper than last year’s S22 Ultra lol.

The S23 Ultra is normally $1200, so $300 off is a good deal imo. I’m thinking about buying one too. And I highly doubt the S23 Ultra will go cheaper than $900 once the S24 Ultra comes out.
