    I bought my Galaxy S9 in 2018. I was afraid the curved screen would cause it to crack easier. NOPE this sucker has been a tank. I have it in a UAG case, and I have shattered the back (held together with tape behind the case haha). I’ve dropped the phone countless times, but it still won’t die.

    Yeah the battery life isn’t great and the camera is junk by today’s standard. But dang the phone just keeps rocking along - so I have no justification to buy a new one.

    I really don’t know what phone I’ll buy next - probably not a samsung though lol
