Upgrading

Good morning. I'm due to upgrade my S10 (which I'd happily not do, I'm very happy with it) but cannot find any Samsung phones I'd consider upgrading to with decent prices and options. The S22 looked OK but the battery life is apparently bad which is no good for me! Can someone please advise?

Best thing to do is look on the likes of Tech Spurt or MrMobile on Youtube or Sammobile.com as there lots of options to go through and the above are independent..

Knowing what you want from a phone would be good, and to be fair none of the Samsungs are bad, when it comes to battery life.. (remember what you read on line is a small percentage of owners whinging)...

Thanks. I just want the usual, decent battery life, good camera, large storage, good reception! I wouldn't mind just keeling what I have but then I lose my upgrade options for the future.

No one is forcing you to upgrade now.

You can continue with your current phone and upgrade at anytime in the future.

Also look at the Pixel 7 range as an option.

My S20+ (which I've passed on) certainly had a better battery life than the S10

Later versions of Android on Samsung phones are less power hungry.

Hi @Ee-42

GSM Arena is an excellent website for mobile 'phone reviews including video reviews.

Have you considered the Samsung Galaxy S54 5G ? It is an splendid device and is currently reduced by £150 at Currys. That takes the higher specification version down from £500 to £350, which in my opinion is a very good deal. It also comes with four years of updates so does future-proof you !

I would be interested to know what you chose and what you views are of your eventual purchase.
