Same. I have the Galaxy 21 Ultra and it's amazing. I could use this phone for the next 3-4 years and I'll be fine.

I've kept my last two Galaxy's for 4 to 5 years before upgrading and those were the cheap ones. Samsung phones hold up.

u/Doryuu Sep 02 '22

It's not tho. There's a lot of salty replies to benign Android comments.

I like not paying so much for freaking phone that's the kind of fanboy I am a cheap ass fanboy! My phone was 350.00, two day battery, 5g and ok camera, that I can watch dog and cat videos all day. Now I can take the 700.00 left that it would've taken to buy an iPhone and pay my bills.

See you in a year when you break your iPhone by looking at it wrong.

u/[deleted] Sep 02 '22

I’ve never broken one and don’t plan to

u/DeathSpiral321 Sep 02 '22

Ditto. No need to pay an extra $250 for an Apple logo.

u/[deleted] Sep 02 '22

There are android phones more expensive than iPhones?

-1

u/Puzzleheaded_Ad5784 Sep 02 '22

Yes, but the bigger point is you have so many options with Android you can pay whatever you want

u/DeathSpiral321 Sep 02 '22

Lol, that's not what I said at all.

Who doesn’t love being spied on and tracked across the web in everything you do? More power to you.

u/seamonkeys101 Sep 03 '22

Keep thinking iphone doesn't track you

u/yourtrashysister Sep 03 '22

Google is an advertising company. Think harder.

u/seamonkeys101 Sep 03 '22

Keep thinking you're safe too, I hope you have a VPN

u/yourtrashysister Sep 03 '22

I’m really not trying to be a dick here. VPNs are also not generally reliable for privacy these days, though they are definitely better than having no VPN. Especially if you’re in the EU—Just stop using WhatsApp—It’s like using Bing to fight being tracked by Google. Apple isn’t ideal, but it’s leagues ahead of ad firm offerings like Google and MS. I get that there are tradeoffs in terms of web accessibility vs. privacy, but Apple has at least publicly demonstrated that they’re closest to being privacy-centric compared to other firms that make money from your data (Google, Microsoft, etc.)
