In the current spectrum, how much should one spend to get the best value? I know everyone has a different taste and budget. But analysing the current trend of smartphone culture could give a bit of insight into spending wisely.

    It’s funny, I bought an s9 plus at launch and was recently “kicking tires” thinking of upgrading.

    Looked at the recent crop and from my judgement, they’re about 15% better than this one for the things that matter to me. For only $2,000 CAD

    Looks like I’ll be having the screen and battery replaced and keeping this for another 7 years.

      If you don’t care about the cameras…

      Nowadays that’s probably the biggest most worthwhile improvement you’ll see.

      Edit: The difference between your S9 and an S23 or S24 would be pretty dramatic.
