    from Note 10+ to S22 Ultra

    It's understandable that the lack of expandable memory could be a downside, especially coming from a device like the Note 10+. Hopefully, the other features and improvements of the S22 Ultra make up for it. If she ever needs more storage, there are cloud storage options available as well.

    It's great to hear that you found an alternative with the OnePlus Buds 3 and have backup options like the Soundcore Space A40's. Having multiple sets of earbuds for different environments is indeed practical.
