Those damn Brits, how dare they?! Buy more, more often!

I bought a new phone after having the old one for 3 years and as a treat to myself. It was an S22 Ultra. I regret buying it as the improvements are very minor compared to my old phone, and definitely not worth the massive hike in cost.

The camera is better but tbh, I barely notice it as its mostly a few photos for memories. I'm not printing them on canvas or anything so no point really having such high quality photos. Will definitely hold onto this one for as long as i can

Meanwhile, here I am with a Galaxy S8 from 2017, doing just fine. Only bad thing is some stuff burned into the screen from overuse of some apps in the past coughs reddit coughs.

i used to buy a new one every 2 years or so,but after switching to pixel 6 and graphene os, I think I will replace it once it's no longer supported.

The 2 years life span had a ridiculous affect on the 2nd market that, now will never be the same.

I bought a second hand pixel 6a a couple weeks ago, my previous phone was the OnePlus 3, lasted me 5 years and at the time of purchase it was already a two years old second hand, bought them for basically the same price, 200€.

my XR is still going strong. unless the quality starts decreasing dramatically, I see no reason to upgrade just yet
