My most recent tech purchase picked this up for 300 usd hopefully it last me a couple years.

300$? eh? that's a steal... (my only grip with Samsung is their pricing
) the S23 Ultra is 1300chf/$~ for me
cheapest in second hand is 900ish
talking about Samsung and pricing ...
i entered a givaway back in february, never got an email, so i thought i didn't got anything, until... i got a phone call today from my phone service provider, turns out ... i won ...
the giveaway 1st prize was a Galaxy S23 8/256gb Phantom black... they confirmed me it was sent today
conflicted ... not a Samsung fan, but ... Snapdragon 8 Gen 2... nonetheless that would mean trading 4gb RAM less (8gb vs 12gb) less screen " (6.1" vs 6.62" ) slower charging (25W vs 65W) and smaller battery (3900mAh vs 5000mAh ... about 14hrs less in the endurance rating....) pros side ... aside the SOC, well, faster storage (UFS4.0 vs 3.1) Gorilla Glass Victus 2 instead for GG5, a bit lighter and IP68 rating and USB-C 3.2 vs 2.0
conflicted also because, my Realme GT2 is literally new (well 4 month old but pristine like new) so, either i sell it or the S23 ... given the S23 8/256 is between 850chf~(promo) and 949chf(regular price)
1. sell the GT2 for 200ish chf or
2. sell the S23 for at least 450chf ...
it's literally a win win situation ... imho thus hard time to decide
edit: technically not a purchase but a tech acquisition nonetheless
