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


Same here! All original S9+, and I still get over a day’s worth of battery time.
Nice! I messed up my battery by keeping it charging at 100% all the time to stream shows all day for like 4 yrs, when I should have been keeping it between 20% and 80%. It still lasts about 12 hrs tho, which is good enough for me rn. If it gets worse I’ll get a new battery tho rather than getting a new phone with a face and fingerprint scanner and AI. That stuff makes me feel ick. I think we made a good investment with the S9+, I remember doing a lot of phone research before I picked it out
