I couldn't agree more. I have a Zfold 2 that I've had since launch (3 years) and I look at the phones on offer now that I have an upgrade available and I see no reason to upgrade to a new phone for a marginally better camera and processor, there hasn't been enough innovation in mobile tech in that time to warrant paying another £1000+ over another 3 years, I'll rock this phone phone until it dies the same way I did my Note 9.
I'm in the same boat. I've still got an S10 from launch, although it's noticeably wearing down in performance now. I'll wait to the holiday season to see if I can get a deal on a new Samsung. At that point I'll have used the s10 for almost 5 years. Used to get a new phone every other year but that's not needed or wanted now.
Hell, I've had a £100 phone for 3 years already and it's absolutely fine. I've noticed a little battery degregation but it still lasts a whole day. Plus a cheap batter change will make it last year's more. I can't understand why anyone would still sing those contracts for a new phone every 2 years.
