Am I getting old, or are mobile phones just getting boring? I used to be great at convincing myself I needed the latest gear. Nowadays, upgrading feels like a chore getting everything installed and configured. But my phone's slowly dying, and I'm very much phone dependent, 💯 harder post mortem🤣 - ThreadSky

There is hardly any innovation in this space anymore. Better CPUs, yes. But the difference is very little compared to previous years. It is just not worth it unless your phone entirely breaks.

Same here. My phone's battery is getting worse and worse, to the point where it only lasts half the day, but I really don't want to spend money, time or energy getting a replacement!

I'm for some reason having great battery time between 100% and 20%, but 20% to Zero very varying sometimes in just a few minutes. Sometimes, it also reboots/turns off below 20%, which isn't a device confidence booster😎
Beyond that, despite 4yo, it's still a snappy and responsive device.

The exciting part is now keeping old phones alive! Especially when version support drop and you to start hacking custom builds…
