    S23 ultra vs S24+

    I've never had a problem. The only one time I've had an incident occur was when I traded in a phone to Samsung and an empty box arrived. This, however, wasn't Samsung's fault nor mine. I traded in a Note 10+ and unfortunately, somewhere between the shipping processes at FedEx, somebody opened...

    S23 ultra vs S24+

    Sure thing! Honestly, this is always the way I go as Samsung I think can be trusted to directly refurbish their own devices lol It's a good deal for someone who might want a device that is refurbished and not necessarily needing the latest and greatest, hence why I got my S23 Ultra in August...

    S23 ultra vs S24+

    Why didn't you just buy one from Samsung's re-newed line? It might cost a little more, but you are getting much better piece of mind with a one year warranty and actual OEM parts. If you have a device to trade in, you can get the 256gb variant or even the 512 for a pretty good price. Far as I...

    AC Members - Show us Your Foods!

    So many tasty foods. Cowboy ranch burger from Red Robin, with garlic parmesan fries. Delicious. Taken with my S23 Ultra Burger with bbq sauce, ranch, bacon, and obviously cheese.

    POLL: Are you upgrading to the S26 Ultra?

    No. Using an S23 Ultra and S21 Ultra. They both suit my needs perfectly fine.

    S23 Ultra - scratches too easily?

    I don't have a cat lol I do have a 7 year old, though.

    S23 Ultra - scratches too easily?

    Regardless, I still find it crazy. My S23U has TONS of deep scratches, whereas my S21 Ultra.. really doesn't. What gives?

    S24+ and other plus variants

    Yeah... I don't know. I really like the build of the S21 Ultra. I feel any of the plus devices are similar to that in that respect.

    S26 ultra privacy screen

    What a load of bollocks. I've never ONCE came into scenario where this would be practical. Of course I'm not going to buy it. Duh. I'm merely criticizing what people seem to be hailing as groundbreaking from an 1100+ phone. It isn't. It's fine if you have a use for it... But man, upgrading to...

    Just Say (Hell) NO to upgrading to the S26 Ultra! Downgrades, prices hikes and disappointment

    I feel like in all actuality, the need to upgrade every year basically stopped at the S24 Ultra. The S24 Ultra I feel is the last Samsung device that has added an actual worthwhile device worth purchasing. And really, once you got to the S23 Ultra.. you didn't need to upgrade to the S24 Ultra...

    S26 ultra privacy screen

    Really? This is such groundbreaking, innovative feature? Who is this for exactly? People who constantly watch adult content? I don't see any practical uses for this honestly. I mean, I'm sure they might be there for some people, but yeah... Definitely NOT worth spending any money towards...

    S24+ and other plus variants

    It seems in recent years, sort of starting with the S24+, in terms of plus variant devices, they are starting to beef them up a bit more again. I'd say the S24+ is the first model in years I'd consider over the Ultra model honestly. I have an S23 Ultra and an S21 Ultra. However, when I go to...

    S21 Ultra is going on five years old.

    iphone 6+ was released in 2014, nearly 12 years ago. So, that should be expected. S21 Ultra isn't even nearly half that age. The apps will still work for quite some time. I'd guess the next 2-3 years. My S10e, which stopped receiving updates 2-3 years ago and is on Android 12, still loads apps...

    Anyone still holding onto that Note 20 ultra?

    Man, I'll admit... I miss my Note 20 Ultra. When I bought my refurbished one in 2024, it didn't last long before it started to have issues... Screen burn, and the camera began to act janky. By the end of me having it after a year, it basically wouldn't focus anymore. Which was sad, because...
