This is what I did as well. Bought an S22 Ultra a few weeks after the S23 line launched. The usual cons I found that I actually didn't mind. No expandable storage? 256GB is way too much for me; I can't fill that up with apps and photos. I also use wireless earbuds so I'm not mourning the 3.5 jack. I've always been a fan of the Note line so it's perfect for me.
I'm considering an Android smartwatch but I'm not doing research yet. I will also likely buy a previous generation device if ever.
I have never owned an Apple product, not even an iPod.
The kind asking for advice or recommendations, but had done zero research and includes minimal context. For example:
Thread: What's a good city to go on vacation for a week where you don't need to rent a car?
Replies: Hmmm Barcelona, Taipei, Tokyo, Prague, Istanbul.
OP: Oh my budget is only $3.50 and I'm from Nebraska and don't have a passport.
