    I have multiple phones including the S23 Ultra. 24 Ultra, OnePlus Open and 12. Right now I’m currently using my S21 Ultra I repurchased recently. Got a 512GB for $350 with excellent battery life. Older flagships are still way better than the midrange and cheaper phones with the only disadvantage being newer and longer software updates. Still love my pixel 6 Pro and 7 Pro as well. Great video buddy. Thanks for keeping older flagships alive and relevant. 👊🏽💕

    Hi Matthew, my question about the older flagahip smartphone is: what's the gurantee about the software support for apps and security, anything bad can happen, and the battery life degrades overtime. I am a bit sceptical about getting an Amazon renewed smartphone under excellent condition, due to any breakdown and scratches. What was your experience like if you could tell me?

    UA-cam has moved to AV1 codec for 30% more efficiency. The Exynos flagship s21, 22 and so, as well as Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and above (s23 and above for Snap) support this codec, which means 30% battery savings when watching UA-cam, and much lower data usage. Another reason to go older flagship. This means non-AV1 phones must run software decode and eat more battery. Not sure the A55 supports AV1 on chip, like older Exynos flagships and last year's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. The s22 series are definitely a better buy, if you can get it in Exynos. Or get a used s21 Exynos or S23 in Exynos or Snap.

      2 years later, you would be able to buy the s24 for $599 at the most, I kinda expect samsung phone to hold its value better, if it goes down to $400 that will be insane, getting 95% of what the latest phone is and still have 5-6 years of android update.

      In my opinion you should go for the s23. SD 8 gen 2 is great and has great optimization for battery and apps. I heard great things about the s22 but also heard about some battery issues so I wouldn't risk it. Also, don't worry about software support, it doesn't matter that much since Google Play Services keep its apps functional for a very long time. Anyways, hope I was helpful 🙂

  • @amhawk8742
    @amhawk8742 9 днів тому

    Tbh if I were upgrading I'd go with an A55 over an S22 plus only based off battery life. The A55 has 3.5 extra hours of life watching videos & 10 hours longer standby time. Performance is fairly equal on multicore scores so its not like the S22 plus is going to be way better even with the cool AI fearures. The only significant advantages of the S22 plus are the cameras & gaming performance. In my country they are around the same price right now but the A55 will probably drop faster than the S22 plus (making it better value next year). Also the S23 FE is $100 more expensive (USD equivilent) so in some plces not in the same price range.

    • @Shan_Shah
      @Shan_Shah 22 дні тому +1

      @user99xyz you already know the exynos problem. They still continue to stick with their exynos rather than recycling an older snapdragon 870 which is the closest chipset in terms of power to the 1480 and snapdragon is a much more optimized chipset and while samsung is a good software company its a terrible hardware company. These upper phones still feel jittery, and a year or 2 from now will become a laggy experience. The a55 feels more premium than it really is. Those phones aren't designed for heavy tasks and aren't well optimize. Older flagships from 5 years ago still gives u flagship features that today's a55 doesn't. You don't get wirless charging, reverse wireless charging and reverse charging, no wireless or wired dex because it's not a flagship while very old flagships maintain these feature. If flagships this old can handle it there is no doubt this can't handle it if they putted a snapdragon chipset. Even if they did, if you have an opition to get the s22 series or the regular s23 for similar price there is zero reason to consider an inferior product. Once a flagship long term a flagship that's what they are designed for, custom ROM a galaxy note 10+ and it's a much more superior experience to the a55 and you will he able to get galaxy AI considering you can install s24 series ROM, this doesn't change the hardware ofcourse but it imitates it and gives you all the software funtionality and it drastically improves the camera quality and while you won't get the luxury zoom features which came out with the s20 series right after it will offer superior quality to the galaxy a55. I wouldn't recommend buying anything older than the s21 series the only reason I'm using this an an example to explain you once a flagship always a flagship and now that samsung phones offer 7 years of support, imagine being able to get the s24 for $599 next year and $399 the year after and still be left with 5-6 years of support while giving you 95% of $1000+ phone to those who fear buying older flagship due to not as long support. The s23 is only a year behind in terms of software support and the truth is the a55 won't be able to hold up for 5 years, while the s23 or s22 could easily last for another 5 years, so it's not all about a55 having longer software support. The s22 series is getting all the galaxy AI features that the a55 to begin with lack because it's an inferior product so I'd even give points to the s22 series in software department despite the lesser software support because of the a55 inferior hardware the longer software supoort won't make it better than the s22 series or the s21 series even considering the note 10+ could defeat it.

      every s phone under 23 has bad battery performancy, i would never go back to any of that shit even if it would be cheaper

      As compared to what....? Like a series phones? I'm a Samsung, LG, Motorola nut. Still have my S10+, Note 10+, Note 20 ultra, s20 ultra, s21+, z flip 3 and an s22. The S10+ was the last phone I ever bought new. I still have a Razer phone 2, got it half priced 6 months after it came out. Maybe when the s25 comes out, I'll snag an s23.

      But yeah some of those really never had decent battery life. S22, s21+, surprisingly Note 10 plus, still, decent. Others, not so much. The flip... Actually pretty bad .

      That Snapdragon in M55 is made by Samsung.

    Get a Poco X6 pro. Amazing processor. Depending on what you want there are way better options than this overpriced crap
