Yes. I have known a few people who made a bit of fun of me for having kept the same phone for seven years and told me that they had had three or four phones within that time span and that I was silly for keeping the same phone for so long. What about the newest updates and cameras and gadgets or whatever they call it? Why would I put up with outdated tech?
The phone I have right now is from 22 and it still works fine. I hope it will last me until 2032, longer if possible.
No, I get it. My phones should last at least five years and some of them even have longer uses after being my primary phones. For example, I still plan to use my Redmi Note 4 Pro (mido) as a Kodi entertainment center with postmarketOS, even after six years of heavy daily usage. Every time I buy a phone I try to make sure it’s officially supported by Lineage OS, but people in general just want the new thing. Honestly, the mobile phone industry doesn’t even change that fast anymore. A 3-yo phone is basically as good as the new shiny thing.
