I don't even want to buy a new phone. It's been more than four years. What great productive work are most people doing on them anyway?
I'd buy a new phone if they fucking offered a flat oled screen. This rounded edges is complete bullshit.
The S20fe 5g is flat and has OLED. The flat screen is the reason I bought it. Still running as well as day one three years later. I have noticed a slight dip in battery life lately but I can get through a whole day with maybe 35% left. When this one dies, I will probably get another.
I have the S22 Ultra and it all started with the shitty S7 which I got after my Note 3 died. Also, the S22 Uktra has a worse camera than my Note 8. They made this camera for selfies and anything other than a selfie comes out blurry
Yep. I run my phones in to the ground and when it's time to replace it I'll get one of the cheaper models that's been out for a year.
If I'm going to pay£1500 for the latest flag ship phone then I'd expect it to do multiple things that a £300 phone can't do but the only real difference is that the cameras not quite as good.
Not to mention things like Lineage can get even more life from old phones.
I'm running lineage os on a 7-year-old phone, and I can confirm.
Im scrolling Reddit and Lemmy productively
You could always get one of those phones with buttons for under 50$
