Exactly! I’m mostly hoping for a better camera, but I’m always interested in any new health features. I don’t upgrade watches bpvery often, but if they do deliver blood pressure sensors, I’m in.
Admittedly my primary reason for upgrading phones this year is my kids. We’ve gotten into the habit of giving them our old phones (with new batteries) so we’re all relatively current but we only need to buy two new ones at a time and I’m not as upset if they break an older one. However Apple is dropping support for my kids’ current phones, plus the kids have been dropping the phones left and right, so it’s time. They’ll get phones that are still supported with updates and that have no physical damage yet, and I’ll get new and shiny
In some aspects, cameras have even become worse. They started optimizing their software for the wrong metrics, which leaves you with heavily over-processed images that always look a little off. This can make otherwise boring images seem a bit more interesting, but if you’re actually trying to take good pictures, it can seriously ruin your shots.
I think Sony is one of the few manufacturers that allows you to choose less aggressive processing.
1 grand max for a flagship is the sweet spot rn imo.
As someone who hasn’t paid more than 500€ for a phone I can only laugh at this. 1000 is still outrageous.

Dude more than 200€ is bonkers.
I’d push to around 300€ there is that stupid artificial gap in low and medium like 64GB storage?
I think the only thing I’d pay more for would be a good camera (good and fast).
Paid £500 for an S22U on FB marketplace and couldn’t be happier
