So i shattered my screen and I was shopping around for a replacement. Then i notice i could get a new S20 FE 5G for not much more.

I honestly cant break away from this model. Its still a premium phone with premium specs WHILE STILL KEEPING EXPANDABLE STORAGE

Is there anything like it now? I have an insane library of photos and videos on my SD card that ive been building over the years, its honestly the only thing keeping me from buying newer phones..

What's out there today?

As big a sucker me, lol.

I bought my S20 FE to get away from OnePlus for a change. I've been looking to get a smartwatch, and decided I don't want a Mi Warch or anything that's a glorified fitness band, so realistically a Galaxy Watch was my only choice. It just so happened that the Watch 5 got released and Buds 2 (non-pro) were bundled for preorders of the watch.

Just like that my single Samsung device turned into three. Then I decided to get a tablet, and at that point it was obvious I'd get a Galaxy Tab, thus completing the Samsung ecosystem lock-in. This shit does work, especially the nearly seamless reconnecting of earbuds between phone and tablet. Not nearly as good as what I've seen Apple could do, but honestly, I'm happy.

And now whenever I think about a potential future phone upgrade, Samsung appears to be the best choice. Fuck me haha. Not that I don't enjoy those toys.

So I took some time earlier and looked on Samsungs website to see what the current offers are. They are all terrible! Everything is so freaking expensive. Even our phone is still $500. It's crazy.

I was thinking s23 before, but that is completely unfeasible. Looks like she's getting an S21 FE. 🤷‍♂️
