I've the exact same issue with my Baseus 100W power bank. It'll charge my S23 ultra super fast. Once I plug iPhone 14 pro, it'll charge it much faster than mine. Even if I unplug/plug again.
I think the issue with the power bank is because I've another 65W wall charger that'll charge both fast.
Maybe try the Kiwi browser. It's the exact Chrome with extension support, without Google sync.
I set up the automation for everything, Samsung routines are really good. Other than that, the evening is normal, but I really like Samsung software features.
The only downside in chinies product is that they've the ability to copy & mass produce. But they don't have a plan to compete & sustainability for long-term users.
After renaming the UI, now it's the time to target new customers & try to build a loyalty with them.
5 years of software update I think it's really fine, the phone battery will be down at that time and you'll need to replace it, maybe trading it for another phone will be much better.
It's not for techie people, and the price isn't either cheap. In my country, the price differences between Nothing 2 & S23 ultra 256GB are ~$100.
Before, I used to use Google Duo, now using whatsbapp video calls (quality is poor compared to snapchat video call).
I carry with me this power bank

And a usb-c Cabel + car keys + mobile phone + I've many empty spaces in case I go to supermarket
Most people won't remember software updates after 4-5 years. People want a reliable phone, easy and cheap to repair. More durable glasses (like the new Huawei/Honor).
With an optical zoom camera. Samsung is the best in the Android world.
