    Phones right now are where computers were about 15-20 years ago.

    Just getting to the point where you can keep one for more than a couple years before it’s too old and slow to do anything.

      I think it probably depends what you want out of your phone (and this goes for computers too). Most “budget” phones are more than sufficient for my usage which is light internet browsing, calls/texts, podcasts, alarm clock, calendar and a few other things. I don’t really game or watch videos or other things on my phone so usually what happens is the phone stops getting supported before reaching the end of its life.

      Before my current phone (which is fairly new), I used my last phone for 5 years and only gave up on it because it had stopped receiving software updates. I plan to keep my phone at least as long providing Sailfish keep supporting it.

      I find your comment a bit confusing when reading it from my moto g4, with almost 7 years of use.
