Help Should I upgrade to the S20?

[yule dee]

I have an S8 Plus that no longer receives updates (software or security) and sometimes glitches (shuts off, freezes up) but is fine in other aspects.

I'd say it depends on how much the glitches annoy you.

I'd make sure I kept backups of any important data though, in case it gets worse. But everyone should always do that anyway, since a phone that is working fine could get lost, stolen, broken or fail suddenly...

Here are some logical thumb rules that are generally overridden by the desire for the latest.
Thumb rule 1: do you have any complaints about the quality or size of your existing display? If so consider a new phone. Ignore all reviews talking about the wonderful new displays.
Thumb rule 2: is your phone too slow for your purposes? Here again, ignore all reviews about speed processes etc. etc.
Thumb rule 3: are there any new features that you must have? Don't buy the hype on 5G.
Thumb rule 4: do you have money to burn?
Thumb rule 5 – 10: more of the same

Your opinion is very important

I think jumping from the S8 to the S20 would be a big enough step up that you would enjoy it. But... You could probably find great deal on a s10 and save a ton and still get great performance and 2 years of updates.

For me, it was the fast battery drain w,hich of course, is only expected after 2 1/2 yrs of usage, that made me switch from S8 to S20. But, I miss my beautiful baby. It was good in every aspect. I could have gone on for another 10 yrs, if the battery could be replaced.

The S20 is on sale from most carriers after I just paid full price. That being said...

Go for it! You won't regret the upgrade.
