I’ve used iPhones all my life and am currently using the iPhone 8 (regular, not plus). I want to switch to a Samsung Galaxy phone but have no idea which to pick. I’m looking for something affordable, since the camera quality and storage space will already be way better than the iPhone 8’s. What do y’all recommend? Also I use Verizon so I’m open to trade in deals or anything like that.

    For budget flagship - A54 if you want software support, and S21U if you don’t care about that

    For all-out monster: S23U, absolutely goated.

    For low budget: A14, seriously decent value for 189

    For some middle ground: S23 FE or S23

      A54 it’s not budget flagship,it’s a midrange phone that it’s expensive and doesn’t worth it. Basically in W years you change the. Phone because it will be so slow

        A54 is the best of both worlds. I was on the S series and switched to the A series when S removed the microsd card. Now I get a free phone every 2 years from my carrier instead of spending $500 each upgrade. It is slightly slower than the S series, Exynos vs Snapdragon, so you see a difference on high end gaming but that’s about it, everything else is fine. Video streaming and the camera is as good as anything Samsung has and better than Apple.

        I like to load up my phone like a computer so I demand the microsd card, that basically means Samsung A series, some Pixelles and some Sonys, but my carrier gives me the A series for free so life is good. Guaranteed 4 android version upgrades so up to Android 17 (we’re on 13).

        If you grab a free phone now you can always upgrade later, but its a good way to get used to a new platform which is what you are doing. I agree the other series are not worth it, either S23 ultra or A54.
