I went through many moto/samsung/google phones. Every single one sucked ass after about a year or two. Wasn't a big deal when the phones came with contract renewals. Became a major deciding factor to abandon them when I had to hand over my own cash.

If I'm paying 500+ for a device it needs to you know... last more than a few years.



I paid $1000 cash for my Samsung Galaxy S10+ and the 5½+ years with it have been flawless.

I was very hesitant to spend $1000 on my first smartphone but if it can easily last 5 years, I'm impressed.

Even now, I can't think of a reason to upgrade aside from wanting a new, shiny gadget.


This hasn't been a problem on Android in 7-8 years. I bought my S10+ brand new in 2019, and it still works flawlessly till today (well, except the battery).

The S7 Edge was the last time I experienced slowdowns after 1-2 years.


Im still on a pixel 5 pro and it works great. Thats a 4 year old device. Im actually surprised how well it still holds up today
