Poll: How old is your smartphone?

[Brando]

Still trucking with my iPhone 12 Pro Max. I want a better camera but buy phones outright and am still hurting from how much it cost.

My genius plan was to wait until a group of yearly cycling friends went from 14s to 15s and grab one of their 14s. But even they have slowed and stuck it out this cycle.

I'm keen to upgrade from Lightening so it may be a case of just bite the bullet and do Airpod Pro2 case/upgrade + 16 later this year.

S21+ since release in January 2021. Never charged it above 80% and battery health is still around 90% using accubattey. Don't see any point in getting a new phone.

Still on the pixel 6 that I got from launch, can't find any need at all, really struggled the first year with the reception problems, but it's got better and better the more software they've released to the point I don't have any issues anymore. Pay outright for my phones too. As long as the phone runs YT, web browser, messaging services and I don't struggle to make calls, I am not spending needless money.

Also, pay outright for phones on sim only contracts. Wife has a iPhone 12 mini and I have an 11 pro max. Going to change them both in November, but it’s going to hurt.

Less than a year on my current one, but I kept my last one almost 4 years. Hoping to do the same with this one.

Recently sold my 3.5 year old Poco F2 Pro and got a new Poco F5 Pro, costing £200 after selling my old phone.

Hope to get another 3 years out of this one

I have had an iPhone 14 Pro since launch which was around September of 2022. I also got a Google Pixel 8 a couple of weeks ago to see how Android has evolved since I last used it on a Samsung Galaxy S III. I think I am going to sell it though and just stick with iOS.

My Fold 3 is three years old now, it got repaired under warranty and is as good as new still!

 

[xiphrex]

Oneplus 8 here from 2020.

But probably need an upgrade soon.

I am just holding out hoping Sony will release another iteration of the Xperia Compact, miss those phones

I had the Z3 Compact back in the day, brilliant phone!

I don't know if I just have bad luck but every phone I've had after 2 years the battery gets really rubbish

 

[hans gruber]

I've had galaxy s2, s3, s4, s5, s7, s10 and last year got an s23. As the differences between generations has reduced and the prices have increase I've been keeping my phones longer.

 

[Rannoch]

iPhone 13. Will upgrade to the 17 maybe lol

 

[Lustral]

All under a year , but my current daily is under a week ago lol

 

[Griff7520]

Poko X3 NFC, 3 years old I think

 

[shaynemawer]

Galaxy S9, which has slowly come to its end of life. Well for my needs anyway, will give to my partners dad next week. I've ordered the Pixel 8 Pro as its replacement.

 

[VIPER258]

S23 ULTRA, had planned to keep it for at least 3-4 years but it was stolen so that plan is out the window. Currently using an iphone 11. Hard to justify getting a new phone now, let alone the S24 ultra.

 

[JonnyGLC]

iPhone 15 pro max; buying them outright I usually keep up to date, or at latest the +1 year model

 

[darkgen]

Pixel 6, purchased in late 2022. I won't bother upgrading till this phone dies and then whatever the year old option is when it does. I refuse to spend more than 300 quid on phones these days.

 

[fornowagain]

S22 Ultra, and I usually upgrade each gen. Just not feeling the need tbh.
