Goodness the S9. If I could turn back time and keep that phone. I ended up "upgrading" to an S20 or 21 and hated every second of my interaction with that phone. I ended up "upgrading" again to the fold just so I could have a physical fingerprint sensor instead of the garbage screen one but now have to deal with bad apps and wonky battery life and no cases.

I really think Samsung peaked at the S7 or S9 both were fantastic phones.
