really starting to need a new phone,, but unsure which
so my lovely samsung s21+ 5g is slowly dying,,
- charging port is broken, and my last working resort has been a laptop charger after going through 3 other cords
- sim card occasionally disconnects/moves and i have to smack the bottom of the phone to reconnect it
- one of my lenses is fogged or blurred. think something got in it
- storage is a constant issue. i've had to uninstall so much and yet i still cant get less than 10gbs free
- because of low storage = phone slower
so yeah. i got this when it came out in 2021, it's made it a good 5 years. but comparing my specs to others really makes it a little sad. i've been looking at the samsung 23-25. just looking for a regular phone, no flip or fold. though i have some preferred specs
- 256gb of storage or more
- 4800 mAh¹ or better
- 8gb of ram or more
- i like good camera quality, but genuinely convinced anything would be better than my current specs 💔
are there any good recommendations for something along these lines ? preferably for a decent price, $300-$600 maybe, unless there isn't any options within that range
