Anyone currently using a phone older than 2 years?

[Morty2264]

I still have a KEYone Black Edition which I got recently but technically I guess you could say it's a "2 year old phone"

However, it's only there as a backup to my KEY2 so I'm not actively using it as a daily.

That said, the 625 processor and 3500mAh battery still give it enough performance for everything I need to do, and get over 6 hours of SOT.

The KEY line looks really cool!

Also, random question: do you ever frequent CrackBerry?

I don't think it's in my genetic code to keep phones longer than 18 months, let alone two years. I try really hard to do that, every time...

Can anyone say, "phone addict?"

I think the question would be do I ever not frequent CrackBerry lol

Fair! CrackBerry is the best! Next to AC, of course!

They're both owned by Mobile Nations, and the app layout and navigation is exactly the same, except AC is blue and CB is orange

Using an S7 Edge. From 2016 so is now 3 years old. Paired with a Spigen case (and its IP68 rating) it has survived numerous drops, heavy rain and even snow and it still works. Not going to replace it for at least another 3-6 months.

It has a 12MP dual pixel autofocus camera with OIS, 3600mAh battery, 5.5 inch QHD AMOLED display, Android 8 Oreo, fast charging and wireless charging, metal/glass design and a fast octa-core processor that is still faster than CPUs like the Snapdragon 670 and Exynos 9610, so it has everything I want.

For my next phone I’m considering either the Mi 9T/SE, Samsung A51, Nokia 8.2 or even a Samsung S9+ if the price drops. The A51 and 8.2 haven’t even been released yet so I’m waiting to see what they look like.

How often do you have to charge it!?

Android phones are basically dumpster fires (Hi Bader) after two years. Swapped out my Moto Z2 Play for the amazing Moto Z4 which I swap with my iPhone XR. If I don't break it doing something stupid, I'll probably get five-six years out of that iPhone.

That's AMAZING! That's a really cool phone.

I have one as well.

The only problem I had with mine is that it overheats when it's charging.

I could probably go three days without a charge since I am not a heavy phone user (other than Twitter) but I charge it up before I leave the house for the day.

My (used) Note 8 is 2 years old this week.

I have only owned it since March this year.

How come you guys having a phone more than one year. I've to change the phone every year.

If there's nothing wrong and you like the phone, there's no need to upgrade every year. Some people like to stay on the leading edge and will upgrade yearly, or even every 6 months. There's no right or wrong answer on how long to keep your phone.

Phones that came out 2 years ago are still good. My Note 8 on Pie/One UI is blazing fast and does everything I need it to do. There are many features I don't even use. Why pay more money for more stuff I won't use.

Personally I don't have to have the Latest and Greatest...I am perfectly fine with using a phone that is 2 years old or 3 years old or 4 years old.

As long as the battery is good and the phone isn't dog slow, I don't have a problem with using a phone with an older version of Google.

Get a cell phone with a replaceable battery, then you can grow old with it.

I grow older every day. My cell phone hasn't gotten rid of me.
