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
I replace my phone when my current one stops working. Went from a Galaxy S2 to a Nexus 5X to a OnePlus 5T. The 5T is starting to exhibit the occasional lag, and the battery life isn’t too good any more, but it is good enough. Hopefully get another year out of it. And it has a headphone jack!!!
I replaced my OnePlus 6T recently and thought the performance was great, until I went back to it a couple of weeks later for something and it felt incredibly slow and laggy.
Have you replaced the battery at all? The battery life was getting extremely poor on mine which is ultimately what made me buy a new phone.
I’ve not replaced the battery. It lasts about 16 hours with my usage. I’m running a custom rom that does not include google play services, so that probably helps a lot with performance and battery.
