    I had the note 8 and loved it, I still have it but the screen blacked out. 300$ to fix. I often think about the S pen and miss not having one.

      Oof $300 for a repair is rough, especially considering you can get a refurb Note 9 or 10 for less than that (US or EU at least). What are you daily driving now?

      S Pen is one of those things that I didn’t think I’d use much but I keep whipping out for this or that. It’s kinda great!

        I switched carriers, so now it’s a Samsung A54 5g. It’s nice but not the same.

          A series are pretty solid. My sis has an A32 and it’s great. I’d daily drive one myself if it wasn’t for the notch haha

            They remind me of the old “S series” samsung rolled out during the start of the smart phone boom. I had an S3 with a life proof case on it. Damn thing was indestructible. When I hot this A54 I noticed the shape similarities and got another life proof case. Would Highly recommend it 🤌 I hoping to get as much life out of this phone as possible

              Yooooo I also had an S3. That phone was a TANK! I dropped it on some rocks and smashed the screen once so I had to get a screen replacement but that was the worst of it (and completely understandable). Aside from that it was a fantastic phone and very durable! I had it on LineageOS Android 7 (or 6 idk) before it got stolen :(
