Poll: How old is your smartphone?

[Deception]

Still using my trusty S20 FE which is around 3-4 years old. I used to the upgrade to get the other-half an S24 Ultra and the kids love the moon shots.

I am still using a google pixel 4xl

granted, it had been out for a while, and at the time i was still using a pixel 2xl.

I had put through an upgrade, recieved the 4xl and stuck it in the draw where it had remained unused for a year or two.

My 2xl then packed in, i got the 4xl out the draw and started using it.

it is going strong given i use it all the time, every day. and i do lots of streaming on it

My Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is two years old, but over these past two years, it's made me release that I don't need a high spec phone, and something along the lines of a Samsung Galaxy A55 5G would have fit all my needs and only been £13 a month to pay off.

Still rocking a P2 Pro that I got around 5 years ago if my memory serves right, still working well too, battery life starting to wane a bit but can still get a full day from it unless on a day when used a lot.

My HMD Pulse is 2 months old and cost £69.99. It replaced my old Motorola Moto G5 which was 7 years old and still works but my banking app said the old android version is unsupported. I tried updating it to a later android version than it officially supported which meant rooting the phone. Unfortunately, the banking app said rooted phones are also supported. I hate replacing things that still work okay. Such a waste.

Still using iPhone 12 pro, a little over 4 years old.. Don't see any point in upgrading yet.

 

[Scort]

Still rocking the cheapo Pixel 6, that's 4 years now - save for a few dings, and a cracked rear from a drop, it's perfectly fine. If I ever see a newer model for the £260 I paid for this, then I may upgrade

I've got a Pixel 7a. Had it about a year, it seems alright so it should last another couple.

 

[Dandaman]

Had an iPhone 12 from launch, will be using it until it is no longer! lol

Oneplus 8T purchased September 2021. Still going strong, battery seems to be doing ok though I don't think there's any way to check it's health without a 3rd party app.

After being a fairly regular upgrader, I can't see me upgrading my s23 ultra until it is completely dead.

 

[Michael Myers]

currently using a Xiaomi Mi 13T - just purchased a S23 FE for the missus, tend to budget around £300 when an upgrade is due so always behind a bit on tech level.

10 months!

Bought a Redmi Note 13 Pro for my daughter last year. Used it for a bit while dealing with faulty S24 Ultra, was so impressed by it's capabilities for the price that I got the Xiaomi 14 for myself.

OnePlus 8 that had to have the usb cleaned but otherwise works fine.

 

[Infidelus]

Current phone is just over a year old but expect to keep it for at least another 3 or 4 years if nothing goes wrong with it. Last phone was about 4 years old when I replaced it and only then because there was something wrong with the earphone and I could barely hear anyone when they called unless I was wearing a Bluetooth headset.

Still using my Galaxy S10 that I got in late 2019, which amusingly has recently started showing me notifications saying the battery performance is diminished due to age and maybe I should go on the Samsung store and buy a new phone.

 

[Paul11]

For the first time i am resisting upgrading every year just because i want a new toy, going for two years with the same phone

I kept my OnePlus 7 Pro for around 2 years, and about the same with my Pixel 6 Pro. You can do it!

 

[Wizzfizz]

I think mine is around 1.5 years. Moto 32 thing. Tbh I'm not that fussed with phone tech and won't spend for a top spec to just text, call and browse. Complete waste.

 

[MichaelAwkward]

Was using an iPhone 11 Pro up until recently.

Got annoyed at the browser situation and the battery was down to 76% (though still peak performance capability) so picked up a Pixel 5 for £125 to use instead of paying £85 to replace the battery which is lighter but basically the same (never really used the telephoto camera on the iPhone) - made ~£50 in the process recycling the iPhone.

Buying something new now I'd basically have to get something bigger, heavier and for a lot more money and the benefits would be entirely marginal. Also get unlimited Google Photos storage with the Pixel in storage saver quality.
