my wife is setting up her new phone that arrived today. maybe i am a bit jealous. on the other hand i dont know how using devrant, reddit and duckduckgo justifies a new phone. better save this for my dream computer.

My fam decided to buy on even though I told them mine's warranty just ended, so I do whatever a curious boy will do, create minecraft je servers on my phone and invite my friends 😂

@melezorus34 this is a reasonable usecase indeed!

Eh, you can use the old phone as a test bench for Android crap.
I accidentally touchscreen-borked my old phone when I was flashing a recovery.

@rutee07 Probably because it's way too expensive for what it does. It hurts my being to spend 200-300 on a smartphone.

I always buy 1 year old flagship and use it for 3-4 years. I think it is the best way to buy a phone. And yes, 1 year old flagship is always better than a new mid range phone.

@lamka02sk absolutely! but i can envy my wife for her last-year-flagship as well... i use my phone since 4.5 years now and it lags more and more but i am just too cheap for a new one

I meanwhile have to reboot my iPhone 7 every day because randomly websites would not open or apps would just crash after start. I don’t want to reset it because backing up all my stuff is way to risky. Using iCloud backup is plying Russian roulette ... did that once and lost many contacts

There is officially no phone in the market which I would even consider buying for any price.
They've all gone to shit. Total shit.
