I only update every 5 plus years.

Because soon a firmware update will be released that will somehow half the battery life and performance...

I got a new phone 2ish years ago, and I still kinda miss my old one. Didn't need to "upgrade" then, don't need to now

I've got a 15 pro and it's just so comically overpowered for a phone there's no reason at all to upgrade instead of just running it into the ground.

The latest samsung galaxy is advertising Ray tracing.

If I'm going to play a game that needs Ray tracing, it won't be on my phone 😂

Wrong kind of Ray, It's for finding blokes named Ray, it's an odd feature but obviously valuable to someone 🤷

If your phone starts slowing down, see if you can install LineageOS, I put it on an old A71 & it's faster than my new S24+ if I had done that I'm not sure I would have upgraded at all

Until your battery life starts failing, there's no incentive unless they're giving you a new phone for free. But that's now how the providers work anymore

I upgraded last year, after having my old phone for about 6 years I think. Same reason...sure there were new phones with some better specs but not that much better for the price. Also I'm getting old so I think that just what old people do lol

I'm just going to leave this here, see how it feels (no, I am not associated, just a fan and making a joke)
