how long did your previous mobile last you?

that is a total of nine years.  i was happy with it.

When did it start to lag?


I always buy the mid series model. Used to be around the range of $400 to $600 but recently notice the price has gone up to almost $800.

  1. Iphone 6 - Switched out of Apple. Not worth paying a premium for the brand
  2. Samsung A50 - Lasted for 4 years before but had to change because the phone started to lag.
  3. Honor 90 Pro 5G - Cheaper than other brands with similar specs but battery drains very fast even though I have been using for less than a year.
  4. Oppo Reno 14 Pro 5G - Heard positive review of Oppo. Switching to this model soon.

I realise buying phone depends on luck. 2 persons could be using the same model but your experience either turns up to be smooth sailing or with endless issues.

so of all the brands you tried, i guess samsung did the job for you?

 

for me, i think the lag was experienced in the last two or three years of my iphone 7 plus.  plus some app were no longer updated but that was no big deal

Yes but Samsung phones still have the lines problem. Hence, it's out.

 

Apple has the longest OS support of 7 years compared to the other Android phone brands but I don't to be trapped in Apple ecosystem as a Windows user.

 

The tendency of dropping it is high. Buying an expensive phone is too risky. Was thinking of getting a folded phone but it's too ex.

it will lag even if its Iphone , I cannot afford lag


so good to sell it after 3yrs
U get a salvage value for that too

not detrimental to environment, Sustainable 
Technolgy is moving extremely fast

Though android will claim for how many updates or iphone too, still u can feel the difference holding an extremely old phone (esp 5years or beyond) 
You guys must be extremely careful with the phone and seldom drop yours?

I alwys, even the ladies who are much more careful and they placed theirs in handbags most of the time, have their iphones battery health dropped below than 80% after 2-3years, then u will realised it start to drain very fast

 

there are more than one option avail in googling me https://x.com/gnnbccb?s=21&t=WxsKRj9hm-pT2wyoEmonPQ

i had those solid shock-proof / tough casing phone case;  ok, i had and am still using the otterbox casing.  so even when dropped, the damage was not tht bad.  i did replace the screen twice over the years though, for my iphone seven plus
