So how long do you guys hold onto phones before updating them?

Til i get drunk and leave them at the pub

I still have my note 3 from mid 2014. I plan on using it until the screen dies or becomes unusable/unreadable.

Till I manage to break it or the hardware gets so old that using it isn't bearable anymore.

Had the HTC hd2. Then the Sony Xperia Z which I'm still using.

Using it for browsing, musik, chatting, calling, mailing.
Only Photos suck since I somehow managed to get dust into the lens. Still good for occasionally pics. When I want to make real photos I use my digi cam anyways.

Just get something with an SD card slot. Internal storage is pointless after 32 GB or so.

As long as they function well enough, but I try to hold on to a phone for at least 2 years, preferably more

4 year old S3 running lineage OS reporting. Only had to replace battery like half a year ago. Still perfect phone for my needs

I upgrade once a year.

I can upgrade up to 3 times a year.

I've had a flip phone for six years, I hold on to it because the battery lasts ten days which is literally the only spec I care for.

I get a new samsung galaxy every 3 years from work

my 2013 moto x is too shitty to play deresute and is overall a pain but it still works.

I have a galaxy core prime since release
It's garbo, I'm getting a new phone soon though

>>58706120
you /mobile/ fags are weird. I ride my hardware until it dies. I don't develop for mobile and I don't really use mine for anything but calling my anime grills and looking at email.

Once the old one breaks or gets too slow to be useable

>>58706620
well the hardwares fine but being on this old of software can be a bit annoying sometimes, it really does get sluggish

>>58706120
I've had my S5 for a few years and I don't have any plans to upgrade it. It's kind of slow but I'm not about to spend several hundred dollars on a newer one.

>>58706620
Same. I've been using my SIII till early this last year cause I dropped it on gravel, and cracked the screen. oops. I could still use it, it was just 2 line cracks, but I dont want to appear poor.

Has a galaxy s3 for 3 years that i only replaced because i cracked the screen and a note 4 for alost 3 now. Replaced the batery 6 months ago.

Don't see a reason to upgrade the note 4 yet.
