Nice. That's what I'm eyeing to replace my S9+

My hubby is a Samsung sales person. Let me know if you have any questions about it!

Some pros and cons. I've run basically every manufacturers phones over the ages. Moto, LG, Samsung, oneplus, Google, OPPO, Huawei, etc. I currently run a Samsung s10 whenever I need something more 1-handed oriented.

Pros: best yearly support for newest Android OS out of all others. I think they offer 3 years of updates now with monthly security patching.

Cameras are amazing. Better than iPhone imo.

Resale value holds better than other brands. But best bang is when you trade in for another Samsung device.

Solid premium feel with top grade internals. Very fast wireless charging.

Cons:
One UI is still complete hot garbage and you should use a third party launcher like Nova.

The amount of bloatware is beyond stupid and should be deleted asap.

Bixby is a joke and needs to be killed.

Samsung had the habit of purposely slowing the phone down over time as it ages. Only a matter of time until a lawsuit happens.

Camera was really one of the most important aspects for me. If it can play music and display on the pioneer head unit in the Z, I am good.

Cameras will not disappoint. The s20 cameras are better than the newest note 20 and fe editions.

Android auto is a different story. It'll work.... But you'll need to plug it into the HU for full utilization. It isn't as streamlined as apples system.

I have a USB ran to the rear of the unit already for apple carplay. Also have a hdmi cable if needed.

Hopefully you have better luck than I did with my Galaxy whatever model it was back then. Experience was so bad I’ve sworn off Samsung products for life.

Past, almost 10yrs. I’ve only had 2 phones & still have both....got a 3GS model iPhone the first of 2011 & waited until they made a larger one & got my current 6+ 6yrs ago
I guess I should have upgraded & got a 9.....but they never made one
So.....I guess I might be looking at a 12
With errthing I have going on right now, gonna roll with this 6+ for a while longer

For some reason, I was picturing this.

An old Nokia

If it was prior to the S8, you should revisit. I only switched once HTC became subpar but my S10 is great. I will say that I've gotten more corrupted SD cards with Samsung vs HTC and that might be my only gripe.

I've had Samsung phones forever. Since before smart phones where a thing. Other than the galaxy s3 not lasting as long as the others I've had great luck.

My only complaint is they dropped Rugby models. I never broke a screen on one of those and my phones have a rough dirty life
