I have a Samsung at the moment and have had Samsung’s for 6 or 7 years. I’ve only had minor issues with a few of them, and I’ve been able to visit a Samsung retailer / service centre to actually get them looked at in person.
So, proven reliability for my experience and ability to get it looked at in person is something that means I’m happy to pay more for the phone than I would be for other brands.
All tech is great when it works all the time. The problem is what happens when it stops working. Can you contact them? Where do you send it for repair? How long does that take? All that sort of thing.
Used to be high spec and a low price. Now they’re average spec and an above-average price.
Nowadays phones are all pretty similar in price and spec, so I’d rather get a slightly more expensive phone from a company with proven, accessible warranty.
I’ve used 1Password for years. Works well on all my devices (MacBook and Samsung Galaxy phone). I’d absolutely recommend you use one.
Not only are they great for handling complex passwords, but a benefit I’ve not seen mentioned here is that they are a way of just keeping track of just how many sites and accounts you’ve registered with.
For example - You buy one product once from an online store, save a password so you can monitor the order status but never use that site again. Before I used 1Password I’d just have forgotten I’d even used that site. But now I can just look down my 1password account and see a whole list of all these passwords and accounts ive created. And there’s loads. You forget just how many online accounts and passwords you have out there.
