I finally had to replace my Note 9 a few months ago, just about the time the S23 was being announced for immediate release. I didn't want to pay that price after reading so many reviews that said it wasn't really an upgrade from the S22 so opted for brand new, sealed, S22 Ultra factory unlocked that I found on Swappa. I've been really happy with it and with all the apps on the phone and everything turned on, I still have almost half the battery left at the end of the day. I see a lot of complaints about the battery life, but I'm not a constant gamer on it so maybe that's the difference. Overall, I think it's been a great phone so far. My two complaints and one is inherent in every phone made now is, no replaceable battery and no SD card. But I had my Note 9 a little over 4 years so if this one lasts that long, money well spent!
