I wouldn't recommend any Samsung products these days. I used to be a diehard Galaxy Note Enjoyer, but these days I just recommend getting an affordable Xiaomi.
They’re all made in china so every phone is china phone, this is such a hexbear answer.
The xiaomi is ugly as fuck that camera is terrible. The only Chinese flagship phone I like is the one plus 12 in emerald
I'm not saying it for china-boo reasons. I bought a mid-range Xiaomi on sale and I've been very satisfied with it. I don't recommend Samsung because I've felt their quality hasn't really been improving much over the last few phones of theirs I've had. When I got my new phone I felt like I did when I got a Galaxy Note 4 back in the day. It was cool and interesting, the android skin they use is very good, the charging is absurdly fast, it was cheaper compared to the alternates (it WAS on sale though), it does all the things I need, the screen is fantastic, the camera works for the pictures I tend to take. I'm not trying to divert money to China or something, I just don't like Samsung anymore(but used to) and do like the one(1) Xiaomi phone I've had, for the same reasons I used to like Samsung.
I don't really care about phone aesthetics. They all look like shiny thin glass and plastic things with circles on the back to me.
Yep, I just don't really see the point in getting the latest and greatest most expensive model anymore, the yearly improvements just aren't anything to write home about like they were a handful of years ago. Xiaomi's Redmi line is honestly such a good bang for your buck, the Redmi 13 is like $145 new and is very good considering the price. Xiaomi also lets you unlock your bootloader fairly easily unlike Samsung if that's something that matters to you, which it does to me.
Starting 2025 you are no longer able to unlock your bootloader on xaiomi devices.
Is there a concrete source on this? I tried some searching and I can see rumors of it from a few days ago saying it's coming to the global market since they did it in China, but nothing set in stone yet as far as I can see? It'd be a shame if it does happen because Xioami has always seemed cool with it, they even provide guides on their website on how to install new operating systems.
