I think you did right by doing that.
I had the full three for a year after the first couple days I wanted to return it to to get my Galaxy Note back but it was too much of a hassle so I just kept it and over a period of time I just could not stand that front screen.
I don't care what anybody says about how it's convenient for a quick text. I need my phone to be fully fucking functional whether it's closed or open I shouldn't have to stop what I'm doing to make it work for me.
That's not convenient we're in 2023 okay technology has surpassed that shit make it work Samsung. But yeah I ended up exchanging mine for the s23 ultra.
I was tempted to get a flip for but again it doesn't have an S Pen so I just bit the bullet and did what I think was best I need my fucking s pen man!
