Asking because… On one hand I do see smartphones being released left-and-right, and they are rather integral to modern life

On the other hand I’m still chugging alone with my Pixel 6a that I bought 3 years ago with a replaced battery and a somewhat clogged charging port… and all my previous phones I only replaced when they have serious deficits that make them difficult to use

Wondering when you all replace phones. Please definitely mention it too if you ended up repurposing the old phone for something else

    God, I’m not buying a motorola again in my life.

    That POS Moto G35 was the worst bloody phone I ever had. Never again. I’ve bought budget Samsung, LG, Blackberry, Nokia, etc. All I buy is buget. But that…thing? That’s a fucking abomination of a phone. Not even the fucking alarm works right on it, I kid you not.

      Got a Moto G Stylus about a month ago, great phone so far. Selling point for me was the micro sd card slot and the headphone jack but it seems so far as an overall great device. Only issue I’ve come across is the light sensor takes a bit to let it focus when scanning or codes, which is something I do daily but is an extra like 5 seconds per scan attempt compared to my Samsung S22 ultra, which got replaced since it can only charge wireless now

        It will get slower and slower in the span of a year until you can’t use it anymore unless you factory reset it. Has nothing to do with installed apps or storage btw. It just slows to a crawl if it’s anything like my moto g35.

        I mean I hope it won’t happen for you, but be prepared…
