Honestly, why not a regular s23? The price should be very similar to both s23fe and iphone 14, but the specs are much better than what the FE has. And between s23 and iphone 14 i don’t think either is a clear winner.
It is very difficult to know exactly what kind of phone would he want. Maybe if you have a computer you both use, you can see if he was interested in any of the above phones? Or maybe ask his friends, a lot of the guys will use whatever they have but during conversation they would give out what kind of phone they would want (depends on people though; some guy talk about tech, some do not).
I though burn-in is undetectable on screenshots. This to me looks like a ui bug. I am wrong?
