While my Galaxy 23 Ultra was doing fine, it only has about 1 more update coming. Then no more updates. Bought a new 26 Ultra and threw the 23 in a drawer.
I am only saying this as I forgot how painful it is getting everything setup on the new phone. Moving everything is super easy. Once you go to use any of your apps... it gets to be a headache. Remembering all those passwords and such. Well... about a week later, finally have everything setup.... I think. :joystick: :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

I just did the EXACT same thing. 22 Ultra to the 26 Ultra. Only issue with the old phone was the battery not holding a charge for very long.
To transfer all the info and apps, I used the built in Samsung app to do it. Used the usb-usb direct phone to phone connection and it transferred everything in only about ten minutes.

My wife got a new phone so I upgraded my old phone to hers. Its a samsung note 9. Phone is roughly 7 1/2 years old. I have no need to upgrade it unless all the apps stop working if they phase out android 10 on all of them. I dont care that it doesnt receive updates anymore since I dont click on sketchy links. I have no payment info on it and I dont use it to log into any accounts other then here and reddit.

What forced my hand was the battery. I know you can have them replaced, but it was time for the latest and greatest.

Don't let them try to use NFC to transfer your stuff or you will wait around 6 hours.
Smartswitch is a little better.

Smartswitch is far better... I agree. I always transfer my own phones and employees, friends and family. I let all of them worry about signing back into their own apps. I had to do all that on my own phone.... what a headache. LOL

Who knew a conversation about phones could turn political. This place has turned into a cess pool.

You seem like you're used to getting away with explanations like that one.
I use older phones with degoogled operating systems.

Bought a used Samsung Galaxy a couple years ago used through Amazon. Was transferring everything and the phone suddenly took off doing all sorts of stuff and wouldn't respond to me. I shut it down, wiped, and returned it. Then I changed all my passwords that were on it and bought a used iphone 13.

I went in to get my Galaxy S23 Ultra's screen fixed. I was 'stupid' enough to buy the repair warranty. However.. when they went to fix the screen ( certified samsung site ), they discovered the 200x zoom lens on the camera didn't work ( hadn't worked since a month after I bought it ) and their policy is no phone will be released if it doesn't pass all their tests.
So.. they were going to have to send the phone in for it to be repaired ( a week or two down time ) .. but, since my workplace uses MFA to my phone to confirm my identity, that' s just not going to work.
Ended up with the 26Ultra, also... and, yes, the data transfer is much much much less painful than the old ways.

Bought my new Motorola almost exactly 3 years ago. Paid cash directly to Motorola, as every cell carrier sells out of date phones at new prices. So, in 2026, you get a 2024 model, which is already two years toward the end off update and security support. So in 2023, I got a genuine 2023 phone, one week after the release date, for the same price they were selling 2020-2021 phones.
I despise the rip off tactics in the market, and take my money elsewhere at every single opportunity.

Some people are just like that. Yeah, they turn everywhere into a cesspool. Fecal matter tends to do that.

Ironic
Suddenly ethics and rules are important when someone does what that group did.
Bathroom mirrors are underrated. The shoe never fits on the other foot
Same was done in my last 3 threads, including the music thread,….so…..<shrug>

Samsungs Excover Pro is a touch phone that has a swap-able battery.
The Excover Pro 6 still has a 3.5mm multi jack the 7 does not.
I personally Cannot have a phone unless It has a removable battery for which you can buy spare Batteries and an External charger for said battery. I have the original Xcover pro (2020) if I upgrade I'm probably going with the 6.
