Galaxy S9+ here. Been getting alerts for months from various apps that I need to essentially get a new phone because major updates have ended for this device. It's such bullshit. Phone manufacturers should cover their products for 10 years or more. They just cheap out and want you to buy buy buy, consume consume consume.
The next refurbed phone I get, I hope to find one pre-2022, before they started getting packed to the gills with AI bullshit.
S8 and S9 were good. I liked my S3, but the capacitive buttons outlived their usefulness and should have been gone way before the S8. S7 seriously tempted me, but that was the year I switched to iPhone (not that the 6s's home button was any better; it wasn't).
My wife has an S22 and it's nagging her to upgrade. I told her to come to Apple. She won't. Maybe we can find a deal on an S24.
