Todays electronics is fast. Imagine how much natural resources could be saved if manufacturers delivered software support until device is truly unusable due to hardware limitations.

This post is being written on 3 years old flagship killer that has never dropped any frame, reached 0% battery or crashed but wont get system updates anymore because…

seemingly 3 years old 7nm flagship SoC is too weak to be used for next decade?

    Same thoughts. I’m surprised how many power is casually laying in my hand. That it can play stuff like Genshin, PUBG, Fortnite. It couldn’t be even thought off when Fruit Ninja, Angry Birds released to sell us the first fun of capacitive screens, gestures. These resources are to last years.

    The only objection is I just don’t care about having the same phone, getting used to it anymore for they all look the same, I occasionaly take other person’s phones at work and when eating out. They are now easier to jump from one device to another. And while it’s good, maybe, that you aren’t chained to it, it warms you up to buy another piece of plastic. My older Symbian devices were something to adjust to, and honor, and cry over they eventual death, and that phone? I can go to the store to buy another and I won’t even sigh. They are ideal portals into the web with no personality besides a phone case. And it’s not that fun.

    I’d honestly sell some belongings to have a modern specs phone with a keyboard and a linux. These awkward, heavy beasts of the past were so damn cool. Writing just isn’t the same with touch-screen, as well as emulation. If there was one, I’d have bought replacement batteries and have used it for decades.
