Maybe we're biased, but if you asked us for a smartphone recommendation, we'd tell you to buy a Samsung Galaxy. The Korean giant objectively makes some of the best phones on the market and no other OEM with the system Android does not have such a diverse portfolio. The company also offers devices in unique form factors that can make Apple's iPhones look like relics of a time long gone.
When the smartphone market expanded greatly in the early 2010s, there was a greater emphasis on users upgrading to a new model every year. Customers were willing to spend their money to upgrade their phones every year, also because technology was advancing by leaps and bounds. But that is no longer the case today. Customers are now more sustainability-conscious and are keeping their devices much longer than ever before.

After all, a company like Samsung has supported them in this effort. It provides four-year operating system updates for many of its devices Android and five-year security updates.

Then there is also the fact that the economic situation has changed significantly in the last few years. The pandemic has forced people to rethink their spending habits. In addition, the world had not yet fully recovered from the pandemic, only to be immediately hit by clear signs of an impending recession. Given the state of economies around the world, it's no wonder that people aren't as willing to spend their money on new gadgets as often as they were in the past.

Price-quality ratio
Life has become much more difficult for many more people around the world. Inflation has soared while incomes continue to decline. The situation is not expected to improve anytime soon. Now it is more important to focus primarily on the ratio of price and quality. Anything you spend money on now should be good enough and durable enough to last you a long time. Folding phones Galaxy are already water-resistant, the company continues to improve the durability of its foldable display panels, and it already uses Gorilla Glass, which provides best-in-class protection.

Foldable smartphones from Samsung perfectly correspond to this. Device series Galaxy From Fold a Galaxy The Z Flip is unique compared to any other device on the market due to its foldable shape. What's more, the company has been selling them for over three years now, and it's clear that these foldable devices are built to simply last. Regular smartphones have become boring. In terms of design, there has been almost no progress with them lately. So if you're looking for a new premium device that you won't want to change for years to come, go for something new and exciting.

They are also much more affordable now, as prices are of course gradually falling. So now is indeed the right time for the customers who spend the most on Samsung phones to switch to the devices that are worth their money. And unfortunately, from Galaxy We don't expect much from the S23, which is why the Z Fold and Z Flip duo are still clearly leading the way.
I do not recommend flexible phones from Samsung, because what they claim to withstand bending is a lie. I had the phone for half a year and it cracked in the bend and they told me that I caused it by falling. The same thing happened to a girlfriend and exactly the same thing when making a claim. 11k repair and they gave me a 15% discount on a new one. Z flip 3 disaster. I highly recommend it to anyone who has 20k every six months for a new one.
