My Note 9 has had a few issues as of late.

Poor Battery/Not Charging
Camera Shaking
Now I've shattered the left side of the screen at the gym.

Slipped right through my sweaty hands.

It's now time to upgrade but I am torn on what to buy.

I use my phone for YouTube/Kayo/Music Streaming services etc.
Social Media, Ozbargain usage and I would like a decent camera.

I've added a poll with the phones that I have narrowed down. Budget was around $1500, but if the IPhone 13 has good feedback I am happy to go further for it.

    I moved from Samsung to iPhone 13PM and happy with it. Make sure you buy using discounted gift cards.

    You want to stick with Samsung/Android or jump the boat and go Apple? If you had a good experience with the Note 9 for however long you had it, future Samsung Galaxies/Notes shouldn't disappoint.

      To be honest, apart from some small issues I have always had no problems with Samsung.

      I do have a Macbook Pro now, but yeah kinda torn if i should try something else haha.

        "haha."
        You won't be laughing when you switch and Apple treats you with disdain. Every employee is a JV.

    Currently using my Note 9 since launch and have a Fold 3 as the side phone. I'd suggest you wait it out for the new 2022 flagships.

      Yeah I think thats what I might do tbh.
      Obviously having upgraded so long ago haha I've been out of the loop with the new phones out there!

        Forgot to mention, my Note 9 has a cracked screen, still works and I have yet to migrate the data and SIM over to the Fold 3. The Note 9 is more of a work/call device whereas the Fold 3 is more of my leisure device. Until something catches my eye, I'll be holding out.

          I keep getting a moisture error msg when charging. Cleaned the plug and the port but still issues. No fast charge anymore.

          Probably happy about the shattered screen because although this phone has taken a battering its definitely time for an upgrade.

    If using the stick to write on (note function) is not used the IP13 seem to be best without case and video.
    Still pix is a race between hares, so I guess you need a Peeproof??
