I will be honest I just have more money than sense, I normally upgrade as soon as the new version comes out, this was my first time not doing so because they are so closely matched. If it was not for my daughters phone battery starting to fail and she dropped it yesterday cracking the screen, I would have probably waited till next year, which is what I would still recommend. Sorry if I came across harsh, I thought I had just wasted a load of money on a Exynos chip. If you are able to look after a phone or have good insurance I would get the the Fold instead, I have had them for a few years and loved them, I am just unable to look after them which is why I went to a S23U instead.
