    good backup phone. Great phone actually but won’t recommend as the primary phone due to security updates

    It’s still a lovely and beautiful phone. Imho the best design and most balanced smartphone that Samsung ever put together at its time.

    I’d definitely be able to still use it today. Indeed the lack of security updates is likely the main pain as eventually vulnerabilities may emerge, the longer it goes unpatched. It still got updated earlier this year for a critical Exynos vulnerability though, and I wouldn’t say it’s in the same “unsafe” class yet as some of the older models that have been going for years without updates now.

    But going forward it will be slowly joining them. And it’s a shame that it didn’t make it for the extended support that kicked in for the later phones. As otherwise, it’s still very capable.

    Yes. I have the pocket size S10e still and it is still doing so well that I will just let the guys at the shop swap a battery soon and keep using it. Swap is like 35€-40€ these days. New phone is… more

    I changed plans to get a s22 and hated it so much i went back to s9. Quality is better all round. S22 is a joke.

    It’s a usable and good phone in 2023 but it’s not recommended to actually buy it, an older Samsung flagship like the S21 will be similar price on the used market and a whole lot better.
