Nearly half of our readers now wait three years or more to replace their phones as spec upgrades have plateaued.

What I think's funny is it's still on its first battery. S20 FE, went through a skateboarding 'phase' and rarely used a case, so the poor thing has been beaten up pretty badly.

Did pick up a used S22 Ultra a couple months ago, but this was a mistake. It has significant issues staying connected to my mobile network and apparently this is a common problem. Gave up the ghost and just put my SIM back in the S20, the Ultra's just my Pocket Paint mini tablet at this point.

Yeah, I read bad things about the s22 as well, the CPU upgrade on the S23 was improved, so I went with that one. Decent price, Im happy with it.
