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
On topic: I’m in the same boat as you. My phone still works and has a decent battery life, so I don’t see the point of upgrading. I don’t game on my phone, well, nothing resource intensive anyway, and setting up a new one to my liking is a pain.
The other criterion for me is whether the phone still gets security updates. Once those stop, it’s time to look around. That may mean a new phone, but for Pixels you also gave Graphene OS as a possibility.
