I have the S21 Ultra 5G but want to upgrade. However, I'm 84 so don't care to spend $1000+ for next phone. Definitely don't want to lose the "wallet" but am having trouble understanding technical language when reviewing differences.  I'm willing to go $600 - $700 but I need advice/suggestions for a suitable replacement with similar features. Thank you for your help!

Hi, the phone I could recommend is a Samsung S23 Ultra, but you may only find renewed models. Samsung's UI's new battery icon and percentage are a struggle to read.

The only problem with the S23 series, it only has 2 years of support left. The S24 series is a better option for them, it will take them to 2031.

Agreed, but many people don't like the S24 Ultra's display.

It's the first year with the Corning Gorilla Armor glass. The people who didn't like it are those that like the cartoonish vibrant over saturated colors. That can be fixed with a glass screen protector.

You mean the people who didn't like the Corning Gorilla Armor glass display because they felt the screen looked washed out to them. That is an easy fix with a glass screen protector.

I've used many screen protectors, but not for that reason. I removed it because every screen protector I used had the annoying rainbow effect.

Rainbow effect with sunglasses?
