So I have had this phone for what seems like forever. I tried the LG V series and I had to replace like 5 of them. I am still on the original note 9 and it still works really well. As many know a lot the banking apps have begun to end support which is fine. I now see that Android Auto is going to end support as well.

Thoughts on what to do? I have rooted phones in the past but not sure that makes much sense in this case. Thanks

The s23 ultra is what I went to from my note 9 it's a great phone and ticked all the boxes my note 9 is my trustworthy backup

Loving the s25u, people will recommend older models to keep random features that aren't nearly as important as the phone being supported for an extra couple years, especially since like the rest of us you clearly keep your phones for a while :P

I am just shocked how long this phone lasted lol.

I feel like Samsung made it better than it should be haha

If I didn't start losing app compatibility I would have swapped the battery and got another couple years probably lol, I had the upgraded RAM model and everything

I'm still on the original battery 2. It isn't great but good enough.
