Black Friday and the Holiday season is coming up. You might be able to get as s24 for a little bit more but this does take patience.
The upgrade for the s23 to the s24 isn't really that great hardware wise but if OS updates and security updates matter to you, the s23's security updates stops in 3 years while the s24 stops in 6 years. Note, the phone will still work after that time but it just won't get updates anymore. To me that's worth an extra couple hundred bucks. I don't like switching phones.
Both phones have extra dim. They also both have a bunch of other visual features too. I'll list them out:
On top of these, you can set Modes and Routines if you want to have a different set of settings so you don't have to fumble through all the setting again. Like let's say you want Light mode, change the brightness, screen resolution and change the font size. You can set that to one custom Mode.
I also forgot:
I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting.
If you have any questions about Modes and Routines that you can't find the answer to online, let me know. I'll test it out on my S24+.
Thanks for your comments.
How much does the updates thing matter? Good catch on only supporting three years, I’m hoping the phone I buy lasts atleast 5.
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.
