Can't decide which phone to get?

[Mavey]

I currently have the Samsung Galaxy Ao3s, which phone should I upgrade to? The Samsung galaxy ao3s came out the year of 2021, any ideas?

I got my s21+ from amazon. I am very happy with it and it performs flawlessly.

@Mavey There are many models available. Some questions to consider:

• What is your budget?
• What features MUST you have? (wireless charging, DEX, etc.)
• Is there a physical size limitation or desire? 
• etc.

I got an s21 5g for like 200 bucks and it was the best phone I ever had but I traded it for the s23 ultra and I don't like the s23 ultra but yeah

[Mavey]

Why don't you like the s23?

[Brayden1]

Because it has the curved screen which the past 4 glass screen protectors I got cracked by themselves so I went back to plastic and when you drop the phone the s pen will come loose and sometimes (like today) it completely falls out

It would really depend on what features you a) must have, b) want, c) nice to have, but not a deal breaker.  Also, your budget.  I love my A54, but I don't think they are producing them still.  I had an S10 lite, but didn't use half the features, so I decided not to go with the S series for my new phone. If you don't need/won't use all the bells and whistles of the top of the line, regardless of whether you can afford it, don't pay for all the bells and whistles.

if you want an SD card, go with the A series.  If you want wireless charging, go with one of the other series.  Read the specs carefully so you don't end up buying one that doesn't have the features/memory/storage capacity you want.

Also, go to a physical store and handle the phones you are thinking about.  Hand feel is a real thing, and if you don't like the way it feels in your hand or the how pictures look when taken by the camera (not sure if you can use the camera in the store's demo mode, but it would be criminal not to), choose a different phone.

Anything s21 or prior I would avoid the s22 be good choice

Idk what phone that is, but I personally love with a capital L my samsung Z fold 5. I'm about to upgrade to the 6. I also used to be a huge Note gal. If you like smaller phones. The Samsung flip is super cool, and your screen is protected when not in use since it folds.Tye flip is probably less expensive.
