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

    when it breaks, which is not very often so around 5-6 years. this P9PXL is getting quite a lot of software support though, so ideally I’ll keep it around longer than that.

    unfortunately I know people who get a new phone once simply the battery starts to go bad, as if there wasn’t a less expensive way to fix that issue. :(
