    Linus is correct. Annual phone updates have been very abysmal for a while. I just upgraded from my Galaxy S10+ to the S22 Ultra and I do not see myself upgrading for another maybe 2-3 years. Love this phone. Also Casey's dilemma is sad af. I haven't texted anyone through an sms app on a while. It's all either FB Messenger, or Whatsapp. Honestly Europe is so much better since everyone uses Whatsapp and Japan too with Line.

      I currently have the same thinking as Zack, Linus, and Marques. My main phone might be an oldie but still a goodie. And my opinion between Android and iOS is similar to Casey Neistat's. I'm more of an Android user but we are sorta forced to use iOS here in the States since our social circle uses mostly iMessage.
      My current daily drivers are still Androids but devices from 2020 and 2021...
      Razr 5G (2020) w/ T-Mobile sim
      Flip 3 (2021) w/ AT&T sim
      My Razr 5G is my main phone but I'll be getting out of T-Mobile by April once the iPhone 12 mini and Razr 5G are paid off. I'm qualified for ACP and T-Mobile has it for Metro. But Metro doesn't offer tethering with $50 unlimited plans.
      So I decided to go back to AT&T after nearly 6 years. They offer a prepaid unlimited for only $20 per month under ACP. If you have EBT or Medicaid, you can qualify for ACP and get a $30 discount with carriers that cover ACP.
      My AT&T sim is on my Flip 3 but it's only the 5 GB plan. My balance for it per month is $0. I'll eventually have two prepaid lines. One that's unlimited for $20 per month and the other with 5 GB which will be free.
      The Flip 3 works well as a phone but I prefer using my Razr 5G more since it has more storage (256 GB) to download torrents and the bigger cover display. As an overall device , I do prefer my Flip 3 more but not as a main phone.
      Here are other phones I use daily:
      Apple iPhone SE (2022)
      Apple iPhone 7 (2016)
      Apple iPhone SE (2016)
      Google Pixel 3 (2018)
      Essential Phone (2017)
      I'll have between 4 to 7 phones I'll be using daily. It can get annoying charging them all. I got an octopus cable that has all the different standards. I want to think like Zack. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
      I'm actually thinking I may not want to upgrade to another phone for *10* years. But software updates only last 5, so I might stick to 5-year intervals. That's only twice per decade.
      Maybe do what Jenna does. Use iPhone and a Flip. Maybe get an iPhone in 5-year intervals (15, 20, 25, etc). Then get Flip the same way (5, 10, 15, etc). So 2023 is looking like an upgrade year since iPhone 15 (with USB-C) and Flip 5 (with 3+ inch cover display) are coming next Aug/Sept.
      As much as I prefer Android, I do need iPhone to stay in touch easier with family and friends. I know it sucks but Apple already dominates USA, so we really have no choice but to own an iPhone as Casey said. Apple is a terrible company to support who are very anti-consumer but it's hard to let go.
      My sim was formerly on my iPhone SE 3 for about 6 weeks since Oct 30. I did enjoy it but I went back to my Android flips since I just prefer SwiftKey , copy and paste is easier, and creating hotspots is way better on Android.
      I still have issues with iOS with basic things and the video player app is limited and won't play different codecs like mkv and avi. I prefer my emulators and torrents from Android. I like my sideloading apps which I guess will be available to iOS17. I do DoorDash and the Dasher app for drivers is still way better on Android.
      It's no big deal since while I use Androids, my iPhones are still within reach when I want to text my mom and for her to see that blue bubble. It's actually good to own both platforms so you're never left in the dark.

    I respect people like Zac (Jerryrigeverything) and Linus who don't change their phones every year just to get the often insignifiant extra features phone company add to their phones to entice people to 'upgrade' annually. If you have a working phone, especially if it's a flagship, that's still supported by its manufacturer, there's no need whatsoever to upgrade. That's why the current phones I carry are an iPhone 12 mini (daily driver) and a Samsung Note 10 (work/backup phone), and I'm perfectly happy with both!

The issue of battery life is overblown imo since most people have access to chargers, wired or wireless, at home, work and car, plus portable battery packs (I have the Apple one) take care of range anxiety when you happen to be away from a charger for longer than usual.

Unfortunately, I recently shattered the back and camera, which breaks my heart every time I pick it up. Now I'm considering upgrading to the S23 Ultra with a trade-in when it comes out or getting another S21 Ultra in Phantom Silver to save some money and keep rocking the insanely pretty Phantom Silver color.

      I currently have the same thinking as Zack, Linus, and Marques. My main phone might be an oldie but still a goodie. And my opinion between Android and iOS is similar to Casey Neistat's. I'm more of an Android user but we are sorta forced to use iOS here in the States since our social circle uses mostly iMessage.
      My current daily drivers are still Androids but devices from 2020 and 2021...
      Razr 5G (2020) w/ T-Mobile sim
      Flip 3 (2021) w/ AT&T sim
      My Razr 5G is my main phone but I'll be getting out of T-Mobile by April once the iPhone 12 mini and Razr 5G are paid off. I'm qualified for ACP and T-Mobile has it for Metro. But Metro doesn't offer tethering with $50 unlimited plans.
      So I decided to go back to AT&T after nearly 6 years. They offer a prepaid unlimited for only $20 per month under ACP. If you have EBT or Medicaid, you can qualify for ACP and get a $30 discount with carriers that cover ACP.
      My AT&T sim is on my Flip 3 but it's only the 5 GB plan. My balance for it per month is $0. I'll eventually have two prepaid lines. One that's unlimited for $20 per month and the other with 5 GB which will be free.
      The Flip 3 works well as a phone but I prefer using my Razr 5G more since it has more storage (256 GB) to download torrents and the bigger cover display. As an overall device , I do prefer my Flip 3 more but not as a main phone.
      Here are other phones I use daily:
      Apple iPhone SE (2022)
      Apple iPhone 7 (2016)
      Apple iPhone SE (2016)
      Google Pixel 3 (2018)
      Essential Phone (2017)
      I'll have between 4 to 7 phones I'll be using daily. It can get annoying charging them all. I got an octopus cable that has all the different standards. I want to think like Zack. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
      I'm actually thinking I may not want to upgrade to another phone for *10* years. But software updates only last 5, so I might stick to 5-year intervals. That's only twice per decade.
      Maybe do what Jenna does. Use iPhone and a Flip. Maybe get an iPhone in 5-year intervals (15, 20, 25, etc). Then get Flip the same way (5, 10, 15, etc). So 2023 is looking like an upgrade year since iPhone 15 (with USB-C) and Flip 5 (with 3+ inch cover display) are coming next Aug/Sept.
      As much as I prefer Android, I do need iPhone to stay in touch easier with family and friends. I know it sucks but Apple already dominates USA, so we really have no choice but to own an iPhone as Casey said. Apple is a terrible company to support who are very anti-consumer but it's hard to let go.
      My sim was formerly on my iPhone SE 3 for about 6 weeks since Oct 30. I did enjoy it but I went back to my Android flips since I just prefer SwiftKey , copy and paste is easier, and creating hotspots is way better on Android.
      I still have issues with iOS with basic things and the video player app is limited and won't play different codecs like mkv and avi. I prefer my emulators and torrents from Android. I like my sideloading apps which I guess will be available to iOS17. I do DoorDash and the Dasher app for drivers is still way better on Android.
      It's no big deal since while I use Androids, my iPhones are still within reach when I want to text my mom and for her to see that blue bubble. It's actually good to own both platforms so you're never left in the dark.

So no. 1 was vivo x80pro... i think it had the camera character that i would have loved the most to hold into my pocket. but in the end i chose to go pixel 7 pro and at the preorder offer including that 415euros pixel watch i think this one was indeed the better value/buck phone of the year for me. I also love the cameras obviously so after using it for a couple of months, I can only say i no longer regret the x80pro even though i still have it in my mind again because of the camera character that was indeed really amazing.

    from the view fluctuation chart, it is very noticable why people here seek Linus, MKBHD, and JerryRig the most.
    not just because they are big names, but they also give insights that phone upgrading now is a trivial matter. Where other creators used the highest, newest, baddest boy in town that may come across as lavish, they stick to the 1 - 2 phones that they deemed worthy and will be using them for as long as those phones can.

      I used to upgrade yearly, every year, I'd have a "new" Note and "new" Google Nexus, then I moved across the country to the Midwest and was forced off my beloved T-Mobile onto the wretched Verizon and their ridiculousness (even though I bought my phones cash, second hand, months after they were released to save a buck), but I bought an unlocked Galaxy S9+ and kept using it straight for 5yrs.... during that time I finally left Verizon after other cell service around my area caught up, went to Straight Talk so I could keep that trash S9 and pay a flat rate.... finally upgraded to a Pixel 7.
      Point being lol, if one doesn't care, and takes care of their tech, it'll last just fine....my S9 was still absolutely mint with a perfect battery and flawless glass, it'll be a backup seeing how Google has changed how the Android updates/filesystems work and I no longer know what I'm doing with swapping different operating systems onto the phone since it's all completely changed now.... and I'm a hands on learner😅

The pattern is easily seen, when the answers came from outside of America, Android, in this case Samsung G Ultra and Fold 4 were the preferred smartphones. Cause as a system, when the marketing and hype/status pressure is not considered, the Android wins hands down.

I have a XS Max and the only thing I'm missing is an Ultra Wide and a Night Mode.

    My Android that I use in 2023 is still the OnePlus 7 Pro. Even though we’ve tested out multiple models from 2022 on our channel from the Pixel 7 Pro, S22 Ultra, Z-Flip 3 and so on and the fact that the OnePlus 7 Pro is clearly outdated and no longer has OS upgrades it still works for me. Android allows me to have customization options down to launchers and shortcuts, so having the latest Android isn’t 100% necessarily the most important thing for me - although it is looking like an Upgrade is due.
    As far as my iOS device it’s an iPhone 13 Pro. Compact enough to be powerful but not too small to feel a noticeable drop in battery life (iPhone Minis 🧐). I just didn’t feel like upgrading to the 14 Pro… the dynamic island and larger camera sensor wasn’t enough to elicit a “goodbye” to the 13 Pro.
    But something tells me that USB-C will be a HUGE factor into consumers upgrading decisions come iPhone 15.
