Asking because… On one hand I do see smartphones being released left-and-right, and they are rather integral to modern life
On the other hand I’m still chugging alone with my Pixel 6a that I bought 3 years ago with a replaced battery and a somewhat clogged charging port… and all my previous phones I only replaced when they have serious deficits that make them difficult to use
Wondering when you all replace phones. Please definitely mention it too if you ended up repurposing the old phone for something else
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S7 from a decade ago, so not often. A few years back I had to replace the battery, but it’s still going.
Since it doesn’t have an open bootloader I’d like to use it until it dies, as otherwise it’ll probably just become ewaste.
I assume it’s not very secure anymore, so I don’t really do anything important with it.
If I cared as much about my phone as I care about my PCs I would have almost certainly replaced it with something better by now.
