(18 Oct 2022, 6:25 pm)wibblejunior My current phone is a Poco X3 Pro. I think I got it in June or July last year, so it's already lasted for over a year. You could probably buy three of these for the price of the latest Galaxy phone.

My previous two phones were both Sony Xperia XZ1. The first one lasted me just over a year before the camera broke, then the second one (which was originally my dad's) lasted me another year and a half before the battery finally gave up.

Then before that I had a Moto G4 which was originally my mum's, which I had for about a year and a half before I ended up losing it in some long grass.

In short, if you want a reliable phone, don't get a Samsung.

Looking back at my history, I seem to usually keep phones around 18 months. Tbh, it didn't really cost that much. I got it on contract this time, and if I take off what I was paying for my old plan, then it only 'cost' £475. Which, for a brand new flippy boi isn't too bad! I paid about that for my Galaxy S4 back in the day!

The last phone I had was a Oneplus Nord, I got that in August last year.
I was so close to getting the LG Wing, but then LG decided to bugger off from making phones, so...

Before that, I had an LG G7 which I had for just under 2 years (the longest I've ever owned a phone)
Before that, I had an LG G6, which I had for just over a year (my favourite phone of all time, it was perfect!)
Before that, I had a Vodafone Smart Platinum 7, which I had for 18 months.
Before that, I had a Vodafone Smart V8, which I had about 6 months
Before that, I had a Vodafone Smart Ultra 6, which I had about 18 months, before it unfortunately died, and got replaced under warranty by the V8.
Before that, I had a Samsung Galaxy S4, which I had for about 18 months.
Before that, I had a HTC Evo 3D. I think I also had that about 18 months before the USB port broke.
Before that, I had an OG Galaxy S. I can't remember how long I had that, but it met an untimely death when it flew out of my pocket getting out of the car.
Before that, I had an iPhone 3GS, that also met an untimely death when I dropped it off the top of a caravan.
Before that, I had some LG phone with a sliding QWERTY keyboard.
Before that, I had a Samsung Tocco
Before that, I had a Three Skypephone S2
Before that, I had a Sanyo S750i
Before that, I had a Philips phone that I literally can't remember. I got it when I think I was in Year 3 or 4 and I was the only one in the class to have a phone.
