Hi there /g/. I wanted to ask about smartphones, and it seems like this thread is the right place. My problem is that for a long time (about 14 years), I haven't needed a new phone and have been using my Samsung Wave II. However, a few years ago, I realized it's no longer a viable option for phone calls, MMS, browsing the internet, and checking maps. As someone who is tech-savvy, I somehow missed the smartphone craze and am not really up to speed on what to look for when choosing one. Could you guys recommend something based on my needs? My budget is around $800, but I prefer the most cost-effective device, so cheaper options would also be appreciated.I'm looking for something that offers:- a complete replacement for my wave II (obviously)- mid to large display for checking the internet/maps- ease of use when browsing YT or other social shit- good app "compatibility"? Meaning a phone that can easily download and run apps, with a massive library to choose from (I'm not very knowledgeable about apps especially when it comes to OS other than iOS)- a good camera with large internal storage (for videos and music)- water resistance (something that can withstand rainy weather or a drop in the toilet)- a fast processor- future proofing for a good 6-8years (specifically, the ability to run new apps down the line without needing to upgrade)I would also want to buy a smartwatch to pair with the phone so I can check calls on my wrist and not bother pulling out the brick itself (so a combo recommendation would be even better). Also some headphones to listen to music.I've used my Wave II for a long time, but I also own an iPad Pro and an iPhone SE (which I only used for specific apps, and it mostly sat idle for a few years). Apple has a great OS and excellent ease of use, but my SE is stuck on iOS 15.8, so I can't use it for my everyday tasks anymore.
