I'm using the s9 and have been since it came out. The Samsung s series is great. If you get the s23 you won't have to worry about replacing it anytime soon.
Only issue you will run in to is software updates end after 3 years I think (not sure).
Now idk if thats an issue for you but its the only thing that comes to mind.
Same thing. I really like Paul Williams and liked the nz contestants more too. But Jeremy kimd of brought it down for me.
