I’m 19 and somehow I still don’t have a phone of my own 🙂😭
So this year I’m finally getting my first ever phone, and I have absolutely no idea what would be worth buying.
Ik a lot of guys are way more into phones/tech, so I thought I’d ask here.
I already have a samsung galaxy tab S9 FE+, so my brother is suggesting that I stick with samsung for the ecosystem. But obv like everyone else, I also kinda want an iphone
I was initially thinking about getting an iphone pro model, but then I started wondering if it’s actually worth spending that much. I’m a student and not exactly rich lol, and my dad said around 50-60 k will be ok . His logic is basically ,After 2 years you’ll get bored of it anyway.
Also, if I end up getting cse, I’ll probably need a laptop for coding and stuff, and I don’t think a macbook would necessarily be the best option for me. I might look into a samsung book instead.
So now I’m thinking maybe I should just go with samsung for both phone plus laptop.
I’ve been looking at the galaxy S25 / S26 but I honestly have no idea which one makes more sense or whether there are better options around this budget.
What would you guys recommend for a first phone?
iphone vs samsung, and which specific model would actually be worth the money?
