I’m switching from IOS to android and am looking to buy a new phone.

I really dont have time/energy to dig into it too much and i looked around and the s23 seemed quite good and affordable price wise.

I’m not doing too much fancy stuff just needs to be able to last (my iphone has been serving me for 7 years). Any thoughts?

Only thing that’s really necessary is the screen needs to have the ability to dim really dark (which seems to be a thing on the s23) because I have visual sensitivities and eye problems.

    If you don’t care about the newest Android features, it doesn’t matter much.

    As for security, this is just my habit, but I don’t trust my banking apps on phones that don’t have the latest security update. I also won’t put anything important in it like work stuff.

    I have older phones and they work fine without updates. I still use my stock Pixel 2, which is 7 years old and didn’t have updates for 4 years, for browsing and gaming.
