It's like heaven compared to my old phone, but...

I owned a Galaxy J3 Eclipse for about two years, and it was hellish. After begging and begging, my dad finally bought a different phone and gave me his old S9. The first month was MAGIC, I tell you. This runs so smooth compared to a J3, and that's all I had to compare it to. While the fingerprint sensor was (and STILL is) super finicky and almost never registers, the call quality was decent, the infinity display was super cool, and I was a happy teen. However, the phone almost immediately began to show its downsides after the first month. My volume button doesn't click in like the other buttons do anymore but still functions which isn't a huge deal. The phone had been used for years before I received it so I should've been more careful with it, but after one drop the case I had on it flew off and the glass back (wtf?! Why glass??) completely shattered. I have a skin on the back as to not cut myself, plus a heavy duty Otterbox. Even before this happened the speed and data have been so wacky and spotty even close to towers. Half the time the phone has a seizure for no reason and it freezes, which is super annoying. May just be age, may be bad luck, or it may be Samsung.
I honestly never liked Samsung aesthetic-wise, and I'm planning on saving up for my own iPhone that will hopefully run more than half the time. Thinking a 12 mini or XR will do the job much better than the S9. It's pretty, but I wouldn't place my heart and soul on this phone.
