Long story short, I've been dealing with some battery and charging issues with my S21+. I've cleaned out my charging port but there's something wrong and it often doesn't recognize it being plugged in.
I can deal with this for a bit, albeit annoying. I've been tempted to upgrade to an s23+, but it doesn't seem like there is that much of a jump from the s21 to the s23.
As of now, with a trade in, I can get an s23+ for about 500 USD. The things I care most about are battery, camera, sound. Don't really game or anything on my phone.
Is there enough of a difference between the s21+ and s23+ to justify an upgrade for 500, or should I just hold off?
