How often do you need to replace your phone?

[–] UncleArthur@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I replaced my Samsung S4 when the UK dropped 3G. My second-hand S10+ is still perfectly fine.

I average about 7 yrs between phones. But that's mostly due to software needing more ram or storage than I've got available and finally giving up.
