I still love my note 9 but the lack of updates finally forced me to upgrade. Samsung dosent make anything i want to vote for with my wallet currently so i bought a Sony 10 V as a stopgap.

My first phone was a samsung xcover 2 then some random Huawei then back to Samsung with a note 9. I was planning to keep it for many years to come but finally no security updates was actually an issue so i bought a Sony 10 V on big discount.

Same here. There really isn’t a satisfactory replacement.
