I rarely upgrade phones, and the last one I smashed had removable batteries. Yeah, I'd figure next upgrade. I'd have to figure something out for my Note 8.
I've got a hard nut to crack as well, my Note 9 is peak Samsung and I can't find a replacement that has stylus, 3.5 mm jack, microSD and capacitive fingerprint scanner (in-display ones suck, at least on A50 from my workplace).
Is the last one an absolute requirement? If not, although I imagine you're already aware of it, have you considered the Moto G Stylus? It manages the first three details nicely, but I don't think any of the models have a capacitive fingerprint scanner (may be mistaken, wasn't a feature I was interested in when looking into these).
No, but it must match capacitive reader's performance.
I've just checked the 2023 version of Moto G Stylus and... IPS? Seriously, Motorola? Sorry, devil wears Prada and flagships wear AMOLED.
Oh, yeah. I forgot that G Stylus isn't supposed to be a flagship. Duh.
Thank you for suggesting something anyway. Guess I'll stick to the Note 9 and keep fixing it until the world dies.
