    That’s why i had to stay away from android because it’s a buggy mess for me to go back on android

Just wait and see if S22 will have 1440p, otherwise get S20, which has an option for 1440.

        Maybe even a bit older Xiaomi Mi 9, S10+. May I ask you if you like high refresh rate?

Not many of them are from popular brands. If you want a flagship phone, your only choices are Xiaomi 12x, Pixel 4a 5G, Redmi Note 8 2021, Fairphone 4, Sony Xperia L4 or upcoming Pixel 6a.

Pull out the earbud, put it in your ear, no hassle, don't need a crappy tangle mess. And when battery is dead, place it on wireless charger, and go to sleep. Goodnight!

                  I have no desire to go back to 20th century tech and use wired headphones. This is 2022. I've been using wireless headphones for many, many years now. No way would I ever go back to wired. Just like with commercials. I stopped watching commercials in the mid 80's when I started time shifting my TV watching. I would never go back to watching commercials.

I can easily go all day on my S21. Brighter HDR with the S21. Faster storage, faster processor, better camera etc. And a 120hz screen. The only thing that went backwards with the S21 is the screen resolution. The S10 has a 1440 x 3040 screen. And the S21 has a 1080 x 2400 screen. For me, all the other S21 improvements easily trumped the lower resolution screen.

So I'm confused, are you perfectly happy with the quality of wireless earbuds or are you always in pursuit of something with superior audio quality? Sounds like you're wasting a lot of money my man. Buy a pair of Grados, Samsons, or Sennheisers and you'll never really have to buy another pair of headphones again for the rest of your life. A pair of wired headphones that sounds fantastic today will still sound just as fantastic in 25 years. A pair of wireless earbuds that sounds good today will be dead in 5 years because the batteries wore out, and the companies that produced them made them unrepairable.

                          Battery life is pretty disappointing even for a non gamer like me, it barely lasts for a day.

                            It's a pretty good phone, I like the size & weight (hard to find such phones nowadays) traded my S10 for this, got the violet color which looks great.

Was there much difference or improvement particularly in the display. I have an s10 (moved from an s8) and did notice an incremental improvement. Now waiting for the s22 to change up once more.

Whether they cost $500 or $100 or $50. I am not going to use them for more than a few years. I will always upgrade to something better.

                                  The only electronic devices I've used for over a decade would be SVS subwoofers. Which I have been using since the early 2000's.

                                    Anonymous, 26 Jan 2022just get the + and stop whiningWhat the heck are you talking about? I've owned the S21 for over a year. Since launch. The last thing I want is the plus version. It is too big. Why would I switch from an old S21 to an old S21 plus? I would get an S22. I would not get an older model phone like the S21 I have now.

                                      RandyRiffin, 26 Jan 2022Mate, I have said this over and over again. If you want a b... more???When have I said I want a big phone. A 6.2" screen is a small phone. That is the size I want or a little larger. No larger than 6.3". I went from an S6 to an S8 to an S10 to an S21. I have owned an S21 since launch a year ago. I will either keep my S21 for another year or get the S22 when it launches next month.
