The answers to this question will be broad so I thought I'd put it in the ask a question section after trying to decide the appropriate section for it.
My daily driver is a Galaxy S22, still runs and performs great, and is insured. But I thought it a good idea to have a backup in even i have to send it in for repair or total replacement. I was a big note9 fan because of the note features and iris scanner, plus it has an oxygen sensor-- which was dropped from note 10 onward. I could have got an S10 or S10+, but I saved $100 by getting the note 9. I was able to import the metallic copper version, which was originally released only in the Asia region and I think India. I did my research to be sure it would support Verizon LTE bands before buying it, and it does.
I did have to change it from its default Chinese language settings, which took a minute to figure out but I did. Tested my SIM and calls and texts work perfectly. Yes it is dated now, but I like having the O2 sensor, and it still handles the basics plenty well enough. Also love the copper color as welll. 5G is not necessary to me so that wasn't a sacrifice.
