I think i'm a convert to buying Galaxy phones a few years after release. As far as I can tell, there isn't a massive difference between the S24 Ultra and S21 Ultra, especially for someone like me who only does occasional gaming on their phone.
An S22 right now would probably be the sweet spot, but as everyone knows, that was a garbage year for the SoC and its battery life, even the Snapdragon models.
I guess my biggest concern is possibly not being able to get security updates for the phone as early as January 2027. I have it in my head that I would like to keep this a full 3 years. I would definitely be willing to resort to flashing the ROM if that is going to be possible. I care basically ZERO about not having the latest version of Android or One UI unless it prevents me from being able to use some app I want to use.
