As a rule of thumb, after quite a mediocre experience regarding more than a couple of items, I have learned to never buy Samsung, if an alternative exists.
So….
Well back to my landline I guess.
I've been pretty happy with my Samsung, this place is just full of unhappy nerds, I swear.
I've used samsung s2, s4 mini, s6, s10e and now s23. They've all been perfectly fine products in my opinion. Their ssd as well. Not to say others aren't better, but I've just never had a reason to switch
S2 the king. I guess it would run android 13.
There is indeed an Android 13 for the S2. :)
